In the village of Sant'Agata Bolognese lie the roots of the iconic Italian brand Lamborghini. In 1964, Ferruccio Lamborghini targeted building the best sports cars in the world, a bold move, being located only a few kilometers from Ferrari. Despite that, his first model, the 350 GT, left the competition from Maranello behind. And many more exciting and extraordinary sports car models followed.

The Porsche family name has been connected with car design, manufacturing and racing since the early 20th century.

One cannot talk about rally sports without mentioning the name Walter Röhrl.

He truly is an icon of German and international motorsports when it comes to car racing.

Winning the iconic Dakar Rally for a record 13 times, Frenchman Stephane Peterhansel had a rather unusual career as he switched from motorbikes to cars and was enormously successful with both vehicles.
