EUGENIO AMOS

Automobili Amos

Racing Driver, Entrepreneur and Founder of Automobili Amos, a custom design and build studio for his ‘Futurista’ series. Eugenio also has a collection of both rare and carefully sourced cars, ranging from a Ferrari F40 to a Mercedes-Benz CLK GTR and most of which are painted in his favourite colour of racing green. I am pleased to be involved with b500 magazine and look forward to keeping you all informed about the Futurista project as we progress through each customer build…

For readers who do not know my background, I was born into a family heavily involved in the Italian car industry and grew up to become a racing driver and subsequently a collector of cars. Today I live with my wife and family in a quiet town at the foot of the Alps - perfect roads surround us for driving my cars.

I drive my cars regularly. I do not want to keep a collection for the sake of just beauty, but to drive them with the passion they were intended. I built my own house and now have a purpose built garage where my cars and all car related memorabilia is kept. I source my cars carefully and many of you reading will have seen my green F40 and maybe my Mercedes-Benz CLK GTR as just two of my more visible examples.

Some cars will eventually be moved on to another custodian, except maybe the GTR, which is a long term ‘keeper’.

I started my company Automobilia Amos in 2017 with the plans to build a series of Automobili Amos Futurista. The result since showcasing the car at the first edition of the Grand Basel car show has been quite incredible for us. Our Futurista series is now sold out, and we already have plans for a second series. Each newly built car has over 1,000 replaced components from its original version, and now includes a 330-horsepower engine, an aluminium wide body with carbon fibre bumpers, bonnet, boot lid and rear spoiler. Welcome to my ‘Futurista’ and to my page in b500 magazine…
