The Abarth-23 Concept was created by Turin IED design student Maksym “Max” Shkinder for its final thesis at the two-year Master of Art in Transportation Design.
The project took about 6 months from the first sketch to the final 1:4 scale model.
With the aim of creating a new generation of pure Italian cars, Max has focused on extreme sportiness (a core value of the Abarth brand).
The Abarth-23 has compact dimensions, with a length of 4,000mm and a width of 1,850 mm.
During the concept research phase a number of features were investigated, including the adoption of surface textures to enhance the car’s aerodynamics and several solution for an unconventional door opening system.
The chosen design is a single, asymmetric door panel that is hinged on one side and integrates the front section of the canopy.
Compared with the IED’s Abarth Scorp-Ion Concept, the Abarth-23 has a similar V-shaped element that defines the rear end adding dynamism to the overall design and is visually matched by the triangular shape of the air intakes on the side panels.

the car has a lot of aerodynamics and it should have a flying version to it after albarth comes out with this one
