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...
