INSIDE ISSUE Nº2

​

Speed is only the beginning.

​

The second issue of THE SHIFT continues our journey through the machines, the people, and the ideas that shaped automotive culture.

​

At the center of this edition stands Koenigsegg, a brand that redefined what a modern hypercar could be, born from the relentless vision of Christian von Koenigsegg.

​

From Sweden’s technological frontier, we travel to Italy, where Automobili Mignatta reveals its philosophy through an intimate conversation with founder José Mignatta and Nunzio Annunziata, the company’s Chief Strategy Officer, exploring a car created not for numbers, but for sensation.

​

Cinema and culture collide in Licensed to Thrill, a celebration of James Bond’s legendary rides, while Design Icons pays tribute to the revolutionary mind of Marcello Gandini, the designer who reshaped the supercar forever.

​

This issue also launches a new series, Ferrari’s Halo Icons, beginning with the 288 GTO, the car that ignited Maranello’s modern hypercar lineage.

​

Engineering takes center stage in Behind Speed, telling the extraordinary creation story of the Porsche Carrera GT, while Ferrari Unwritten explores the lesser-known episodes that helped build the myth of the Prancing Horse.

​

History returns to the open road in Great Races, with a deep dive into the legendary Mille Miglia, and in Art in Motion, where the liveries of the 2026 Formula 1 grid reveal the intersection between engineering and visual culture.

​

Finally, At the Limit honors one of motorsport’s most uncompromising figures, Niki Lauda, whose life proved that defeat can forge a stronger kind of victory.

​

Welcome to Issue Nº2.

A collection of stories where speed meets legacy.
