The course aims at elaborating on the future of sports car design through the analysis of current design trends and through philosophical thinking about the profound changes that the “car product” is undergoing. The availability of new and innovative energy sources, from solar to hydrogen, will not only create new machines but also a radical shift in the transportation paradigm. Aesthetics and the use of sports cars will go through a complete rethinking and a new vision is required. The objective of this course is to create a new design vernacular for future sports cars through a semiotic analysis of the significance of sport and its relation with the human being. At the Ferrari and Lamborghini Museums, it will be possible to examine in depth the significance of sports cars in the very context where they were first created.
