First, second, third, lock! Second, crash! Now it's deep, now it's always deep! Man loves speed. We love speed. Eventually speed is humanity's ultimate passion.
Compete, be faster, be better. It is in our genesis, there is no going back. Eyelids swollen, hands sweaty, heart racing: boom boom boom boom boom.
We turn the key, start the engine and turn the reason off — except on public roads! It's just us, the car and the road. The almost perfect triple. When we least notice it, WHAM! We are already addicted to speed.
It is not easy to express in words the ultimate thrill of speed. So let's go to historical facts that are proof of this love. A love that, like the love that it is, makes man surpass himself. It was the search for speed that fueled many of the technological innovations we have today.
Speed was and continues to be fertile ground for innovation , both in the aeronautical industry and in the automobile industry. Even if only after the adrenaline rush — normally reached in competition — he finds a «useful» application in our daily lives. But find it! Later but always find…

Anyone who has ever felt chills watching a race, driving or even competing knows what I'm talking about. To others, to whom my words make no sense, I have nothing to say. They'll never understand...
Fillipo Marinetti, Futurist ManifestoWe affirm that the magnificence of the world has been enriched by a new beauty: the beauty of speed. A racing car with its bonnet decorated with thick snake-like tubes of explosive blast… a car that roars and seems to run on canister is more beautiful than the Victory of Samothrace.
