When Ralph Gilles tips his hat to a student’s design concept, you know it’s going to be good. Gilles used to be the CEO of the SRT brand, is currently the Chief Design Officer for Stellantis, and well known for his love of Dodge muscle cars. Recently, he shared the senior thesis of John Carioti, a student at the College for Creative Studies in Detroit. And, it’s a stunning design concept that deserves the exposure Gilles has given it, saying, “Once again @ccs_detroit Seniors are Fire!” And with the failure of the all-electric Dodge Charger Daytona (sales volumes have been less than ideal, forcing Dodge to offer crazy incentives and cut the cheapest version out of the product plan), it may be a good idea for Gilles to harvest some of the College for Creative Studies’ current talent.
