On November 26th, 2011 Alfredo Stola was a guest speaker at the Art Department of Teheran University and gave two talks: on "The Essence of Craftsmanship RK Spyder and RK Coupè" and on “Art and Cars”.
His lectures were part of the Style modeling course presented by the group of students preparing for the degree in "Industrial-Car Design”.
The project, supervised by Professor Robert Sarkissian and the group leaders Siavash Jafari Jozan and Mani Keramati, was aimed at creating a "Style Clay Model" of an interior inspired by Audi R8.
This was for Studiotorino a truly unique experience as we worked with very knowledgeable professors and talented students, all sharing a rare passion for car design and its history.

COUPETORINO m.y. 2013 is a non-profit academic project conceived by Studiotorino and promoted by Alfredo and Maria Paola Stola. Its goal is to train six young students who attend Istituto di Arte Applicata e Design di Torino (IAAD) directed by Laura Milani.
The first joint study between STUDIOTORINO and Steffen Koehl of Global Advance Design MERCEDES BENZ was to transform the new iconic Mercedes SL spider into an exclusive Coupe.
The final presentation of the study took place in Como on May 27, 2013 at the MERCEDES BENZ Design Center directed by Michele Paganetti.
The event was presided over by Koehl and Paganetti and completed with a 1/4-scale version sponsored by SKORPION, a multimedia presentation of the work and display of the six illustrations accomplished by each student in complete freedom of creativity.
June 9, 2013, STUDIOTORINO annunces to the press the project and the drawings of the next "prototype" named MONCENISIO, derived once again from the Porsche Cayman S type 981.
The prototype will be presented in Torino at the beginning of spring 2014.
The MONCENISIO's styling is the work of architect and log time friend of the Stola family, met during his period of work at the Alfa Romeo Style Center in Arese, Daniele Gaglione, who has generously put his signature to the design.

Between June 18 and October 29, 2013, two of our prototypes, the 2005 RK Spyder and the 2006 RKCoupè, were displayed at The National Automobile Museum, MAUTO, in Turin. The two prototypes will be displayed alongside seven Italian and German design masterpieces as part of a semiannual exhibition on auto body design.
For us at STUDIOTORINO it was a great privilege to be invited to participate aboard true icons of design at one of the most important museums in the world.
Our participation at the exhibition allows us to think with excitement that the RK models are becoming "classics".
