As the Lamborghini Miura approaches its 60th anniversary, engineer Luigi Marmiroli revisits the extraordinary technical, human and industrial convergence of 1963 that transformed a bold idea into the world’s first true supercar.

Born from a chance acquisition and shaped by pure creative freedom, Giovanni Michelotti’s Jaguar D-Type Coupé stands as one of the most fascinating and misunderstood one-off cars of the 1960s: a Le Mans thoroughbred subtly reimagined as a road-going sports car.

Engineer Marmiroli introduces a little-known chapter of automotive history, where Italian engineering and American ambition unexpectedly merged in the Vector M12.

Prof. Massimo Grandi retraces in this article the extraordinary story of Émile Darl’mat, the Parisian coachbuilder who, between the 1930s and 1950s, transformed Peugeot chassis into exclusive aerodynamic creations, from Le Mans racers to elegant postwar coupés.

When Ferrari’s name began to shine brightly across the Atlantic, few figures shaped its American allure as decisively as Luigi Chinetti—and fewer still gave form to that allure as brilliantly as Giovanni Michelotti. Through Chinetti’s vision and Michelotti’s pen, Ferrari’s most exclusive clients discovered cars that went far beyond Maranello’s catalog: unique bodies, daring prototypes, and Daytona rebirths that blurred the line between road and dream. This is the story of the

For Giovanni Michelotti, the motorcar always symbolised freedom. But as he often remarked, it was also “the most widespread legalised weapon in the world.” This awareness accompanied him throughout his career and made safety—both active and passive—a core principle in his approach to automotive design.

The cowboy racing driver goes back in time half a century, telling the story of the glorious World Championship when Carlo Chiti's Alfa Romeo won with him at the wheel of the 33TT12. A story triggered a couple of years earlier by an incredible series of events that took place in Maranello

At the heart of this story lies a car: the Alfa Romeo 6C 2300 Aerodinamica Spider, also known as the extraordinary Jankovits Aerospider.

Giovanni Michelotti, my father, was one of the most influential designers in the world of automotive design.
