Sasha Selipanov - was born in Tbilisi , from 9 to 17 years , lived in Moscow , after leaving school went to study automotive design at Art Center College of Design in the USA. Below is shown Renderers Ferrari GTO - design project , executed by Sasha Selipanovym . As he tells Sasha about his project - a project conceived as a real car for absolutely real of our time ! No futurism. The original task was to make the car look that will be in harmony with its substance . "
The era of innovation in architecture, sports car was in 50-70 years of last century . At that time determined all of the most traditional arrangement : Kia with rear-wheel drive (all the old ones Ferrari, Jaguar) and Mid to rear wheel drive (Lamborghini and Ferrari, Ford GT40 at the end of the 60's ) plus Rear (Porsche).
Since then, cars have remained architecturally unchanged , but the design - flow changes frequently . Much was known about aerodynamics , new materials ( carbon fiber , aluminum , titanium , etc. ), but the architectural machines have not changed . It tells Sasha - "design a car today should not be radically different from the design of 40- year-old , given that the layout is not changed. Of course , machine design today must show the development of aerodynamics and materials , but the architecture is the same car that was 40 years ago . "
"... I like to see when you look at my car did not think about the old car and would have seen only a modern , nice aggressive sports car , and only the second and maybe third reading would become apparent connection with the Daytona Coupe , and GR-1 . I tried to make in my Ferrari lines and surfaces that are functional loading : the length of the front overhang , the proportions of the bonnet and cabin air intake and air exhaust , the cut line tale gate , etc. and etc. - I wanted to do a design that is dictated by tradition and functionality, but not fashion.
