Every year the students at the Istituto Europeo di Design (IED) in Turin work up something new to unveil at the Geneva Motor Show. Now in its tenth year, this year’s design is called the PassoCorto, Italian for “short wheelbase”. The concept was designed under the supervision of Pininfarina designer Luca Borgogno in collaboration between the 16 students in the Master in Transportation Design program and Hyundai’s European design center.
The concept is the result of a process marked by various assessment stages, simulating a real working situation. The design called for a 1.6-liter twin-turbo, mid-engine, driving 266 horsepower to the rear wheels.
All the students submitted their own proposal; the two that were best able to respond to the initial brief were selected and “merged” together into the final version which combines approximately 70% of one proposal and 30% of the other. The entire class in fact created a core working team in order to create a well-integrated model of the two final versions in line with the concepts expressed by the scale models, completing as a group the full scale concept.
