Azzurro Savoia
Why Azzurro?
You can have it in any colour, as long as it’s Azzurro!
Of course we’re kidding, paraphrasing a famous quote from Henry Ford!
Fulminea will be of course fully customizable in order to meet the tastes of the most demanding customers.
But as launch colour we have chosen a bright azure iridescent shade to match the dark pattern of carbon fiber, inspired by the wonderful shades of azurite crystals.
We have named it Azzurro Savoia because, before becoming the official jersey colour of Italy’s national teams, it identified the House of Savoy since 1366.
ESTREMA Fulminea will be assembled by hand by highly qualified specialists in Modena, the heart of the Italian Motor Valley.
Design Process
ESTREMA Fulminea’s design process started with the dream of combining extreme performance with advanced active aerodynamics and indisputable Italian flair.
Form follows function, but in our opinion, both elements must merge into a shape that combines harmonic proportions with innovative and unique styling elements.
The process starts with the first doodles and moves to more defined sketches in the early stages.
This is a truly fascinating phase of the process, where ideas and dreams are put on paper in an artistic way.
Then the initial forms are brought into 3D surface modeling for more detailed analysis and renderings.
The Styling research process is entering a new phase, where graphic elements and details are added and evaluated.
Modelling
There is nothing more authentic in our modern world than hardware, the “confirmation model” of our ideas converted into virtual mathematical data.
It is just a work in progress, but it looks like contemporary art, or a 3D geographical map with its contour lines, or the fascinating terraced rice fields of Southeastern Asia … just let the fantasy unwind!
A digital model can never quite compensate for a physical model.
To the human eye, the sensory experience of a “hardware” shape is where you really feel whether proportions work or not.
