A true Alfista, a true lover of Italian 'art of living', an experienced driver and a true gentleman. We went through his unique 33 Stradale configuration, celebration of the legendary Tipo 33/3 Le Mans. 0:05 Passion for racing came when I was born in an Air Force 0:08 base hospital that had, uh, it was a B 52 bomber base, 0:12 uh, for the Air Force. 0:14 So maybe because I got it at birth, 0:16 because I was born at the Air Force Base Hospital, 0:18 maybe, I don't know, not sure. 0:20 The story of learning of of the 33 STR is quite fortuitous 0:25 for me, maybe lucky you would say. 0:27 But, uh, in that, I was invited by the local, uh, 0:31 Austin Alpha Romeo dealership 0:33 to attend a hot lap session at. 0:34 But afterward, uh, we visited the, uh, 0:37 alpha Romeo hospitality area 0:39 and was asking about why with the rich history, 0:42 why doesn't Alpha Romeo have a supercar? 0:44 And the lady, the marketing lady I was talking 0:47 to kind of went, wow. 0:49 I didn't say anything and came back 0:51 and introduced me to Christiano who told me, you know, 0:54 confidentially about the project. 0:57 It's very unusual and, 0:58 and my experience to have a, you know, a horizontal stripe. 1:02 And so that struck me as very distinctive of the, 1:06 of the Te TPO 33 race car. 1:08 And so I tried to do a modern interpretation of that stripe, 1:13 and a course, every race car has to have a number. 1:16 And so, uh, I wanted the number. 14. 1:20 14 was a special number for me 1:22 because of the, again, heritage 1:25 and history of racing, uh, for Enzo Ferrari when he drove 1:29 for Alpha Romeo, number 14. 1:31 And then, uh, my American racing hero, a j Foyt, 1:36 from Houston, Texas, of course, had number 14 1:39 and had that number when he won four Indianapolis 500, 1:42 five hundreds and many, many races. 1:46 How many Italian cars you have? 1:47 Uh, four. Are your cars two in a museum? 1:52 Are you like to drive them? 1:53 No, no museum for me. 1:55 I drive all the cars, including on the track. 2:01 Do you love that sound? Oh, of course. 2:03 That's the best part. I told Christiano, 2:06 make sure the 33 St sounds very nice. 2:11 And, uh, the Bottega process was very 2:13 specialized, very customized. 2:15 You know, I did two trips to, uh, to Reno 2:18 and, uh, uh, very detailed sessions 2:22 and worked with, you know, com computer renderings, 2:25 to look at different angles of the car, 2:27 and did subsequently, uh, zoom calls, uh, 2:32 with the team to, uh, come up with the, you know, the final 2:36 configuration and the feeling, you know, you get, 2:39 that's indicative of a, of Alpha Rome male's rich heritage 2:42 that you get that's more than a, you know, 2:44 it's not really an automobile. 2:45 It's really a, a passion for a way of life, really, 2:49 of being a, an alpha customer 2:51 and part of the alpha family, which I felt 2:53 through the Bottega process that now I'm, I'm really part 2:56 of the family as a result, and I'm, uh, truly, uh, grateful 3:01 and honored, uh, to be able 3:02 to represent the brand in this fashion. - advertisement spot 2024
