Mike Robinson (designer)

Robinson's creative team in Bertone also designed the exterior and interior of the Frecciarossa 1000, the high-speed train for Trenitalia, built by Ansaldo Breda and Bombardier.

At age 16, while studying architecture in High School in Kent, Washington, he discovered a poster of the Lancia Stratos Prototipo Zero by Bertone.

At just 83cms tall with a cab-forward, monovolume architecture, it used the front windshield as the entry door, opening up crocodile-style, erasing all the terrible taboos tied to what was considered modern car design in America at that time.

Robinson began his career at Fiat working in Advanced Design, where he created the first Virtual Reality room in Europe in 1988.

[6] The Pandion (which is the scientific name for Osprey) is a 2+2 sports car with reverse-opening scissors doors which are 3.4 meters tall when fully opened.

The roof without a rear window denotes the arrival of the digital era, replacing the backlight with external cameras and internal screens.

In 2013, Robinson designed the Aston Martin Jet 2+2, a "one-off" prototype, ordered directly by a private British client.

The interior was modified according to the requests of the private client, adding a mobile platform to make better use of the rear compartment.

Following the closure of Bertone, Robinson entered into partnership with David Pizzorno, founder of ED, a company with twenty years of experience in automotive engineering.

In 2011, Robinson was inducted into the Hall of Fame of car design at the National Automobile Museum of Turin, Italy.
