INSIDE ISSUE Nº3

​

We continue telling the stories that matter.

​

The third issue of THE SHIFT continues our exploration of the machines, the people, and the ideas that define automotive culture, with a sharper focus on legacy, endurance, and the evolving meaning of performance.

​​

At the center of this edition stands the Capricorn 01 Zagato, a modern interpretation of coachbuilt philosophy, where design heritage and contemporary engineering converge into a singular expression of intent.
 

From there, we revisit a defining moment in automotive history with The Holy Trinity, where Ferrari, McLaren, and Porsche redefined performance through hybridization, not as a compromise, but as an advantage.

​​

Endurance takes its rightful place in Great Races, with a deep dive into the 24 Hours of Le Mans, a race that, for over a century, has measured not only speed but also resilience, precision, and endurance.

​​

Innovation doesn’t stop with the 288 GTO, it evolves into something far more radical with the Ferrari F40, the focus of Chapter II of Ferrari Halo Icons.

​

The sound and emotion of performance take center stage in V12s, a personal reflection on one of the most iconic engine configurations in automotive history, where engineering becomes something closer to music.

​​

In Design Icons, the cars that defined each decade are brought together through a perspective shaped by design, context, and time.

​​

Ferrari returns with the Icona Series, a reflection on how heritage can be reinterpreted for a new era, while Art in Motion presents Chapter II of The 2026 Formula 1 Grid, where each livery becomes a canvas shaped by identity and intention.

​​

Finally, At the Limit honors Gilles Villeneuve, a driver who never needed a championship to become immortal, and whose approach to racing continues to resonate far beyond statistics.

​​

Welcome to Issue Nº3.

​​

A collection of stories where performance meets meaning.
