De Gillet Bellariva Autocinetum Superbum

Gillet Bellariva est autocinetum superbum ad usum cotidianum et ad itinera longa destinatum. Species exterior currus sportivos annorum MCML–MCMLX atque lineas scapharum velocium luxuriosarum et navigiorum otiosorum revocat. Compages et corpus manu ex fibra carbonea fabricata sunt, ut structura levis fiat et pondus mille ducentorum chiliogrammatum habeatur. Tabulatum posterius ligneum tabulatum navigii otiosi imitatur et arcam securam triginta litrorum celat, dum spatium oneris quadringenta litra capit. Tabula instrumentorum ex ligno mahagoni facta est cum lamina labili. Basis lignea luminum anteriorum ornamentum nauticum addit. Ianuae ad modum papilionis apertae et suspensio anterior elevabilis formam perficiunt.

Provocatio Designandi: Combine the shape of a sportcars with the look of a speedboat or yacht was the hardest challenge. The idea of using the image of a boat that runs through the entire car and blends harmoniously with it allowed to overcome this conceptual obstacle.
Investigatio: An extensive visual web search was conducted to identify the stylistic traits that have made certain automobile models of the past particularly fascinating and famous over time. The research was conducted almost entirely through the Google search engine. Images of cars produced in the last century were viewed and saved, with a particular focus on the most iconic cars, considered among the most beautiful in the world (with particular attention to cars such as the Bugatti Type 57 SC Atlantic, Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa Pontoon, Alfa Romeo Disco Volante, Alfa Romeo BAT 5-7-9, Jaguar E-Type, Mercedes SLR 300 Uhlenhaut and Porsche 993 GT1).. This research was conducted personally by Mr. Francesco Riva over a period of approximately a decade. The research allowed Mr. Riva to identify the most aesthetically appealing shapes to use on the BellaRiva. Nautical inspiration also led to the innovative design of the headlights, which flow from the outside to the inside of the car while remaining below the hood line. The new automotive design concept conceived by Mr. Riva was later able to be implemented thanks to the meeting between Mr. Riva and Mr. Tony Gillet, founder of the Belgian automobile manufacturer Gillet Automobiles.
Inspiratio: This supercar reinterprets in a modern key the automotive design of the golden age of the 50s and 60s, with particular focus on cars today considered among the most beautiful and prestigious in the world, such as the Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa Pontoon and Ferrari 250 GTO, taking inspiration from luxury speedboats and yachts.
