Viento is a concept transportation that just won the first place in Michelin Design Challenge 2015 with “Drive Your Passion” theme. It’s a futuristic vehicle that offers the driver to experience extreme and exciting moment through different driving mode in various driving conditions.
Stelvio pass in Italy has the best condition for Viento, located in Ortler Alps between Stilfs and Bormio. It’s about 75km from Bolzano and only 200m from Swiss border, this pass features many sharp curves and a slight slope, not to mention jaw dropping views. The windy condition makes it perfect to ride Viento because when in sailing mode, this vehicle requires wind energy. Yep, this vehicle can transform from driving mode to sailing mode.
