MARCH 2002

In March 2002, the Mitsubishi Europe Style Centre, in co-ordination their counter part in Japan, required STOLA S.p.a. to build two hard style models.
Their clear goal was an advanced design study from each of the two Style Centres to imagine what the future Lancer, planned for 2007, could look like.
More than ever,o the Japanese car designers worked as a team,composed of directors Boulay and Nakanishi, together with their colleagues Peter Arcadipane and Omer Halilhodzic.
The selected model was continued by a team of Stola modelers in Japan at the Mistubishi Style Centre.
The away modelers were Giuseppe Federico, Pietro Calò, Moreno Marangon, Gabriele Sbeghen, Nicola Partucci and Alessandro Pellichero.
