The first art and design
project for the decoration of car interiors, inspired at
the famous
italian comic Diabolik, is born from the cooperation of
Studiotorino and Mycrom. Diabolika is a personalisation unique in its kind,
deriving from an Italian icon car, the new Fiat
500.
The project was born from
an idea by Alessandro Imoda, and has been developed and
realised in all
details by Maria Paola Stola of Studiotorino, followed in
all its steps by the
publisher Astorina. It
will be applied to a limited edition of 50 cars on demand,
which will be numbered and
signed Studiotorino-Diabolik Collection. Other parters
involved in the project include Salt, Mario Levi,
Pirelli, Brembo, Ruote Borrani and ADM.
Sitting and driving the Diabolika is like to get in a super
new edition of the famous comic strips. Here you can become
accomplice and protagonist in a contest to share the
everyday exploits of Diabolik and his partner Eva Kant.
The
driving comfort is emphasised by excellent materials smartly
painted on digital printing automotive leather (DPAL) and
the precious sewn upholstery which complete this unique car.
This time the Diabolika is not pushed by a powerful engine,
but by the strength of the imagination.
It is
designed and prepared by Studiotorino and Mycrom in collaboration with the historical publisher Astorina.
The body is painted with a particular mat black supplied by
PROIN.T and sprayed by ADM Painting.
Two
mat red fins, classic decoration of Studiotorino fine sport
cars, characterise this automobile. These colours remind the
ones of the original comic strips.
The wheeI
system fits the new Borrani spoked rims which are
reminiscent of the mythical Jaguar E-Type, Diabolik’s personal car.
The
1/50 Diabolika mounts a unique edition of Pirelli tires,
especially hand cut and built with the Diabolik eyes shape.
Pirelli will supply the Diabolika with standard tires. The
system is completed by sports drilled disc brakes produced
by Brembo.
DIGITAL PRINTING AUTOMOTIVE LEATHER (DPAL)
The
technological innovation of this project is artistic
printing on leather.
Maria Paola Stola suggested to transfer the digital printing
technology on textile to automotive leather supports. This
is the real evolution for the cars’ interiors setting. The
result of this process is a fine leather perfectly identical
with the finest single-colour products existing on the
market, in touch, smell and wear and tear.
The
digital printing technology is a peculiarity of Mycrom,
a
partner in this project who, following Maria Paola Stola
intuitions’, studied for the first time the leather digital
printing cycle, obtaining an excellent quality superior to
any possible expectation. The experimentation process was
supported in all his aspects by the Mario Levi company,
supplier of the materials for automotive applications.
Salt, a
leader in prestigious upholstery realisations and historical
technical partner of Studiotorino, sewn the artistic
leathers, succeeding in a masterly way coupling in the space
the Diabolik characters and contributing to the prototype
realization.
