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.

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".
