01 / THE STORY
History & context
The Mole Almas is a striking one-off concept car, conceived and handcrafted by Italian designer Umberto Palermo and his company, Mole Costruzione Artigianale. Embodying the essence of Italian automotive design, the Almas is a sleek coupé characterized by its bold and dynamic styling. The concept features pronounced wheel arches that exude a sense of power and muscularity, while its distinctive shark’s mouth grille commands attention. The grille prominently displays the Mole logo, inspired by Turin’s iconic landmark, the Mole Antonelliana, further emphasizing the car’s strong connection to Italian heritage and craftsmanship. Designed under the full title Mole Costruzione Artigianale by Umberto Palermo Design-Adler Group, the Mole Almas is a testament to Palermo’s dedication to merging artistry with engineering excellence. This exclusive concept car adheres to classic sports car principles, featuring a two-seat layout, a centrally mounted engine, and a rear-wheel-drive configuration. These elements underscore its performance-focused design and create a driving experience that prioritizes agility, balance, and thrill. The Mole Almas is not only a celebration of Italian automotive styling but also a showcase of modern design techniques seamlessly integrated with traditional handcrafting methods. With its flowing lines, sculptural surfaces, and attention to detail, the car reflects the philosophy of Mole Costruzione Artigianale: creating vehicles that are both technically advanced and emotionally evocative. This concept coupé serves as a statement piece for Umberto Palermo, demonstrating his company’s ability to innovate while honoring Italy’s long-standing legacy of designing cars that are as beautiful as they are functional. The Almas bold proportions, coupled with its elegant craftsmanship, ensure that it stands out as a one-of-a-kind masterpiece, embodying the spirit of Italian design and engineering.
