There’s something poetic about seeing a rally icon reborn beside the stillness of Lake Como.

This Kimera EVO37, captured at Villa Flori, feels less like a modern supercar and more like a preserved piece of motorsport soul.

Every angle pays tribute to the legendary Lancia Rally 037.

It’s what happens when the original philosophy is respected, refined, and elevated with modern engineering. Lightweight, raw, mechanical, emotional … exactly as a tribute to the last rear-wheel-drive car to win the World Rally Championship should be.

Against the backdrop of Como’s mountains and timeless villas, the blue over gold combination somehow feels perfectly at home … like Italian automotive art returning to where it belongs 🇮🇹✨

Find me a better trio of brands. I’ll wait 🐎🍀🇮🇹…

Last month I had the absolute pleasure of photographing not 1 but 3 Italian legends in their true Italian colors back at home 🇨🇾

🇮🇹 Starting off with the legendary Lancia Delta Integrale HF. A car that arguaby re-defined the world of rally as we know it, and ultimately put the Italians at the forefront of the sport. After Group B was disbanded, the Lancia Delta S4 evolved into the Group A variant which was rally-spec version of the road legal version of this very car. Dominating the late 80s and early 90s in the sport.

🇮🇹 The Ferrari 355 Berlinetta. A personal favorite of mine. After the world’s “disappointment” with the 348, and under new leadership in Maranello, Luca di Montezemolo, Ferrari took it up a notch and decided to build what (I believe) is the best naturally aspirated mid-engined V8 engine carrying the prancing horse. The highest revving naturally aspirated engine (8500+ RPM) fitted in a mass production car at the time. Fitted with a gated manual short-throw gearbox and an engine that screams behind you, is definitely the definition of petrolheadism.

🇮🇹 Last but not least, the resurrected legend that is the Alfa Romeo Giulia. A car that has inspired so many others with its first appearance back in 1962 with the Type 105 Giulia TI. Later on taking many shapes and forms. After a hiatus of over 35 years, the legend is back in a classic RWD Alfa fashion under the Stellantis platform. This has re-ignited the spark for many Alfisti - myself included - for the essence of what an Alfa is and should be. This gorgeous Veloce example in the trio provides the right amount of balance between comfort, luxury, and power.

The Lamborghini Miura SV - arguably one of the most beautiful cars ever created.

The fact that Marcello Gandini conceived this masterpiece at just 27 years old only adds to its legend.

Set against the extraordinary frozen lake of St. Moritz during @theicestmoritz 2026, the result is a scene that feels almost unreal… an icon of Italian design framed by one of the world’s most dramatic winter backdrops.

A truly lovely combination. Enjoy!

Here’s something you don’t get to see every day. This is Michael Schumacher’s V10-powered 1997 Ferrari F310B, wearing the Prancing Horse.

One of just three F310Bs driven exclusively by Schumacher, beautifully presented by @simonfurlongercars at last month’s Salon Privé at Blenheim Palace.

This very car was the one Schumacher took to the final round of the 1997 championship at Jerez (chassis 178), where he went into the race leading Jacques Villeneuve before their infamous clash ultimately decided the title.

Very special indeed….

I had the chance to see this gorgeous Totem GT Super during the Fuori Concorso week at Villa Flori, on the shores of Lake Como last year, and it was particularly special for me as the original Alfa Romeo Giulia GTA (or any Tipo 105/110 Alfa) is probably my all-time favorite classic car 🍀

@totem.automobili has taken that iconic shape and reimagined it as a modern restomod, with a carbon-fibre structure, modern suspension and a twin-turbo V6 producing around 600hp, while retaining the character and proportions of the original car.

It’s one of those cars that looks incredible in photographs, but even more so when you see the details and proportions in person - especially this superb color (arguably better than Montreal Green?)

It was also great to see the GT Super featured in the latest @itsthegrandtour, with @thomasholland_th getting the chance to drive one - which seemed like a good excuse to finally share these from Lake Como.

Another year, another few days of automotive extravagance at Blenheim Palace.

From immaculate concours cars scattered across the lawns to old-school exotics, racing legends and everything in between, Salon Privé is always a reminder of just how beautifully diverse the automotive world can be.

A few favorites from another brilliant @salonpriveuk at @blenheimpalace.

Until next year… 🥂

With the legendary Goodwood Festival of Speed (FOS) just around the corner, here are few of my favorite moments from last year’s event! 🏁

An event that never fails to deliver… whether it’s legendary classics, cutting-edge hypercars, or the ear busting sound of engines echoing up the hill. Every year leaves me with memories and photographs I’ll never forget …!

I won’t be behind the camera at Goodwood this year, but looking back through these images has been a reminder of just how special this event is. I’ll be looking forward to returning in the future.

Until then, here’s a collection of some of my favorite frames!

Some cars are fast. Some cars are rare. A few are both

🇯🇵 This is a Subaru Impreza WRX STI Spec C Type RA … built by Subaru with motorsport in mind and already a unicorn in its own right 🔰

Add countless hours of work, carbon fibre body panels, carefully chosen mods and an owner who spares no expense, and you end up with something truly special.

Had the pleasure of capturing this beauty on this day 4 years ago.
