Presented as an international premiere at the 2025 Concorso d’Eleganza Festival Car, the Microlino ’55 Edition pays homage to the microcars of the 1950s, small vehicles like the Isetta, the Heinkel Kabine, or the Zündapp Janus that defined an era.
The Microlino ’55 Edition—created in collaboration with Alcantara and Erre Company for the design—is a one-of-a-kind model, a sort of manifesto of bespoke design, featuring exclusive interiors and details. The artisanal care given to the upholstery was entrusted to Sifral, who enhanced every detail with precision and quality.
The design draws on the formal and emotional values that have always distinguished microcars: compact, rounded, visionary, with a distinctive character and a friendly spirit, to which ERRE Company has given a touch of Italian style, combining balance and elegance. “For us, this project is the result of a CMF study that combines material research and tailored style: every detail expresses a philosophy of luxury,” explained Domenico Lubrano, ERRE Design Studio Manager.
The two-tone blue and white exterior livery is enhanced by chrome details, while the interior embodies the “Contemporary Luxury” values typical of the Alcantara brand and its upholstery, here in refined warm tones of brown, beige, and amber.
“The collaboration between Alcantara and Microlino expresses the values that have always characterized the material: Italianness, attention to sustainability, creativity, and the ability to offer tailor-made solutions. Thanks to its versatility and its technical and aesthetic qualities, Alcantara lends itself to the most meticulous customizations, with exclusive workmanship and a virtually infinite color palette, capable of satisfying every customer need,” commented Eugenio Lolli, President and CEO of Alcantara.
