BUGATTI PM1/EB 110 (1989)
A 1:1 scale sports car model made entirely of wood. A structure whose shape exceeded the stylistic value and established, in its matrix, a philosophy, a way or method of expression and construction which was typical of the behavioral attitude of man towards the car until a few decades ago. It was called PM1 and represented the symbol that accompanied the 65th edition of the Turin International Motor Show. It was also a return to form of the Turin salon, which had always represented the place where car manufacturers gave their best in terms of creativity, and where most of the greatest designers had worked professionally.
Made entirely by myself, the PM1 was not a pure exercise in style, but a serious proposal suited to the tastes of the period, a prototype, which took into account all the ergonomic needs of the period, as well as the regulations of various countries, and the feasibility and economy of construction. The interior design was also full of innovative ideas.
