These giant lizards are called Monitor Lizards and originally are natives to Africa, Asia, and Oceania. But they have been brought to other parts of the world.

As he explains, while the technological aspects of cars are rapidly changing, the evolution of the visual design languages appears much slower. Taking inspiration from the architecture field, where new projects often push the boundaries of possible, Marko envisions an approach based on the use of different shapes, optical illusions (with materials and colors) and complex forms, combined in a balanced and proportioned whole – almost a “mechanical” version of the human body. With the Ferrari Millenio he applies these principles to an extreme electric sportscar eq...
