Unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show in 1970 and winner of 22 international design awards, the Modulo shattered conventional automobile norms and stands as a pinnacle of Italian and global automotive design.

But how is a model of this kind built?

The first step involves constructing the buck using two techniques: one originating in Modena, specifically tailored for racing cars, utilizing iron rods commonly referred to as “filone,” and the other method involves the creation of a life-size wooden buck that’s identical to the final vehicle. This marriage of pure concept and the original structure is realized through meticulously handcrafted, hand-beaten panels, refining the car’s distinctive contours.
