Alfa Romeo

Yep, but he was an incredible driver.

By 1920, he started racing for a famous company called Alfa Romeo.

And on June 17th, 1923, driving a bright red Alfa Romeo RL, he won a huge race at the Savio Circuit in the city of Ravenna.

That's awesome.

Did he get a giant gold trophy? He got something much better.

In 1929, he started his own racing team called Scuderia Ferrari, which actually translates to Ferrari Stable, like a stable for super-fast horses.

So he was making his very own Ferraris now? Not quite yet.

He was still managing the racing team for Alfa Romeo cars.

That was the biggest one.

This time, we'll talk about the Alfa Romeo 2CV.

Kure-rosa concept, which was another really amazing card.

Kure-rosa or something, yeah.

Their model portfolio is huge.

Like, I mean, overall, it's a little bit small and their primary models are like a little bit old, so I would say.

But this brand is Alfa Romeo.

So Alfa Romeo perhaps is probably, I would argue, is one of the most emotional brands.

And look, we've had a lot of car news recently that has captured the headline.

The one that I just fell in love with, he was part of the team that did this Alfa Romeo.

Yes.

I think the word for it in Italian is Red Heart.

And what Alfa Romeo said was that this could be either electric or it could be engine powered, but it's one of the prettiest designs ever.

We just had the unveiling of the Mission S, the Porsche, the new car that's going to live above the 911.

And then, of course, Tesla pulled their, I'm going to call it a publicity stunt, where they had the Roadster fly and kickflip.

Yeah.

As the coffin was carried out, the mourners started their engines instead.

Dozens of Alfa Romeos filling the air, every one of them running a Busso 6, and revved them all together for the man who had given the heretic its voice.

That is the story of the Alfa Romeo 916 GTV.

We were going to do all of the GTVs in one sequence in this video, but I actually do like doing them all separately.

And it's as if that was a spin-off of the 208 GTI.

Alfa Romeo, Curio Rosso.

QRA Rosso Twin Turbo V6 GT, I don't know that that will ever be built.

Well, it won't.

for you? I mean, we just did the Alfa Romeo.

That's kind of one brand that we're working with a client on.

He's trying to create a a brand of his own on these Alfa Romeos, like a modern recreation with maintaining the vintage nature of those cars.

So that was one client we restored a car for, a couple little custom mods, and then we did another one and we built a custom wide body, like we just cut metal and did a kind of shape of his vision.

And then it just kind of snowballed.

He didn't really have that vision from the beginning, but I was like, hey, let's do another one.

And then that led into like, well, you should make a mold that way you can just pop out, you know, carbon fiber body panels instead of, you know, redoing it metal.

So I just kind of went into this whole thing and I was like, well, now there's a brand behind it, kind of like a signal forest where these vintage Alfa Romeos are being reimagined.
