Participants have the chance to upgrade their design skills getting involved in challenging projects, in close contact with leading personalities of the automotive world.

The outcome of 07-08 edition, held in collaboration with Alfa Romeo, has been recently unveiled in presence of Lorenzo Ramaciotti, Head of Styling for Fiat Group Automobiles and Maserati. The result is nine models developed with the assistance of designers from the Style Center based in Arese (Milano). Antonio Rosti, Alessandro Maccolini and SPD tutors worked in close collaboration with fifteen international students envisioning modern interpretations of Alfa Romeo’s long and distinguished legacy of sporty yet elegant saloon cars.
The previous editions of this educational programme have been run in association with the Audi Design Center led by Walter de’ Silva first and later by Wolfgang Egger. From 2005 until 2007 students have been conducting an intense researchwork for the brand with the four-ring emblem investigating in innovative design solutions for Audi’s most successful concept, Avant, and developing the Max4 project: a compact lifestyle car in less than four metres with the typical sportiness, comfort and luxury feeling of Audi models.

The 2008-2009 edition of the Master’s in Transportation Design - from October 2008 up to October 2009 - is in association with Lamborghini.
After two years of successful collaboration with Audi and the most recent, challenging experiences with the Italian brand Alfa Romeo, again Scuola Politecnica di Design draws attention back to the legendary brand Lamborghini, worldwide synonymous with sportiness, exclusivity and the extreme character of its iconic models.
Participants from all the world will develop a new concept car under the guidance of SPD tutors assisted by Filippo Perini, Lamborghini Head of design, and his staff.
The Master’s programme also features lectures with leading figures in car design and guided tours of design centres, museums and exhibitions. Visits will be held at Lamborghini headquarter in Sant’Agata, Modena. The official language of the Master’s course is English.
