BRAND VALUES
L
ancia is one of the most important Italian
automobile manufacturers, founded in 1906
by Vincenzo Lancia which became part of the
Fiat Group in 1969. The company is known
for the production of high-quality luxury cars, its rally
heritage, and the use of Greek letters for its models
names. The name Lancia has always been synonyous
with Italian style, luxury, comfort and innovation.
Tipo 51 / Alpha was the first Lancia to have been ever
produced, but Lancia Lambda is the car which would
make the manufacturer famous. The Lambda was
well-known for its technical innovation, the first car to
have been built with a monocoque chassis. It has also
received many accolades for its stylish design and its
reliability.
There are many models that have made automobile
history through the years: Aprilia (one of the first cars to
have been designed in a wind tunnel), Aurelia (the first
production car to have been powered by a V6 engine,
also one of the most beautiful cars in history), Ardena,
Flavia, Flaminia, Stratos HF (the first Lancia supercar,
three-time WRC Champion) etc.
The Lancia Stratos Zero, is a concept car designed by
Bertone and features radical styling, rally car mechanics
but also bizarre ergonomics. This has has often been
cited as a masterpiece of Italian design, and also an
automotive jewel, as it is only a prototype.

THE CONCEPT

M
cLaren-Honda R1 brings the concept of old-school racing back,
to the future.
This racing car is one of many contestants that are going to
participate in an endurace racing champioship, whose purpose is to generate
electricity to power future cities, with races running on old reconstructed race
tracks such as the AVUS or the Brooklands Raceway. Cars are going to be
run by privateers who take the chassis and body shell (both manufactured via
3D printing) from a constructor and the eco-firendly powertrain from another
supplier, thus lowering the costs and rescuscitating the old racing spirit. The car
is driven by the driver, who is navigated by his co-driver. Not only has the co-
driver navigational duties, but he is also responsible for team communication
and aerodynamics management.
Eagles served as the main inspiration for the aesthetics (both for the interior
and the exterior of the car ). Due to their natural aerodynamic properties,
eagles have always been a subject for studies by mankind for a very long time.
The concept of active aerodynamics in the project (with front, back and side
wings movable) is borrowed from the basic aerodynamic principals applied in
the flight of the eagle.

Due to the great instensity of the race,
driver and co-driver share the same car.
However they sit on two separate cock-
pits. Communication within the car is
made through microphones, so that the
drivers do their respective duties con-
centrating only on the race.

he rigid racing seats, are covered
in a smart, super-adhesive ma-
terial inspired by geckos feet.
This kind of fabric provides optimal grip
even in contact with very smooth surfac-
es (such as glass). The fabric eliminates
the necessity of seat belts, as the driv-
ers remain attached to their seats even
in an event of a crash. Drivers are also
protected by the helmet attached to the
car, which provides both drivers with in-
formation regarding the car and the race
(Augmented Reality screens are installed
inside the helmet, for the drivers to have
a constant Head Up Display during the
race).The co-driver is responsible for the
navigation of the racing track, team-to-
car communication, and active aerody-
namics control. By moving the shifts, he
is able to operate both front, back and
side wings of the car.natural aerodynam-

MINI PROJECT
THE SCENARIO
F
uture, Earth 2110: Our planiet is over-
populated and humans are looking for other
planets out in the galaxy, and also building
new homes in space stations. Inspired by
futuristic Sci-fi movies, humans have re-invented the
legendary race of 1000 Miglia. The race will takes
place in the cosmos. The starting point is on Earth, and
the destination is a new human colony in the cosmos,
and back. The journey is 1000 space miles unit long (a
new unit of length used for space journeys).
Mercedes-Benz AMG Petronas Team have launched
a new vehicle to campaign the the gruelling race. The
SLG AMG Racing Shuttle has been purposely design
for the new 1000 Miglia. The vehicle absorbs not
only, solar energy but it also collects space dust, which
is then used for producing kinetic energy and scientific
examination, thus making the race an instrument of
scientific exploration as well.
In the future, space stations will be a common object in
the cosmic landscape of the future. The can be used as
checkpoints or even as destinations. Racers will have
to follow a certain path which reminds of he old track
of 1000 Miglia from Brescia to Rome. Tracks circular
blue lights guide the pilots. If a racing shuttle goes off the
course, lights go red and the pilot gets a time penalty.
The 1000 Miglia was an open-road endurance
race which took place in Italy twenty-four times
from 1927 to 1957 (thirteen before the war, eleven
from 1947). Like the older Targa Florio and later the
Carrera Panamericana, the MM made Gran Turismo
(Grand Touring) sports cars like Alfa Romeo, BMW,
Ferrari, Maserati and Porsche famous. The race
brought out an estimated five million spectators. It
was one of the most important endurance races in
the history of motorsport.
The SLG AMG draws inspiration from the successful
silver arrows of the 1930s and 1950s, such as
the great 300SLR, which won the 1000 Miglia
in 1955 (whose record was not beaten in the last
two years the race was held), and World Sportscar
Championship in the same year, driven by Sir
Striling Moss.
The space opera movie franchise of Star Wars
served as the main inspirational source for the
development of this futuristic scenario in whic the
1000 Miglia race will take place. Hence the future
of mankind might be directed to new adventures in
the outter space, racing in cosmos may be possible.
