Stola Carlo Mollino Record Car

The Stola Carlo Mollino Record Car was a full-scale model that Stola built in 2006 from the unrealised plans of the Turin architect and designer Carlo Mollino for a car to challenge the land speed record. Stola, then part of the RGZ Group, made it for the large Mollino exhibition at the Galleria Civica d'Arte Moderna e Contemporanea in Turin, where it was shown from 20 September 2006 to 7 January 2007, and the Museo Casa Mollino commissioned it. It is a fully enclosed, teardrop shaped body with faired wheel arches and a central glazed canopy, about 5.3 metres long and roughly 1,150 kilograms in mass, although another page calls it almost 5 metres long. It was a static exhibition piece and not a running car, with room suggested for a mid mounted powertrain. It was sold at auction in 2015 as an art object.
