Entrance hall to the Metaverse

__Fritz Kaiser launched TCCT “The Classic Car Trust” in 2013: a bold project that aimed to give classic cars from the last century a sustainable future in the new millennium. This has now led to the creation of „Roarington, the Classic Car Metaland“, a virtual ecosystem for classic cars: an exciting journey into a fascinating future.__

It’s a marriage between classic cars of 20th century and the digital present of the 21st century – and you can experience it at the eClassic Lounge on Herrengasse in Vaduz, Liechtenstein. This is where you will also find a very real 1947 Cisitalia 202 – an aesthetic and technical masterpiece by Pininfarina. This iconic car’s brother is kept at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York, where it is celebrated as a ground-breaking example of post-war automotive design. The Cisitalia provides the backdrop to two simulators, equipped with the latest simulation technology and styled by design superstars Pininfarina and Zagato. Old and new have been brought together, and this meeting of worlds has been given a name: Roarington. Physical classic cars have been taken into the Metaverse by creating digital twins that can be driven on historic race tracks in the simulator. The driving experience is uncannily authentic: almost as though you really were driving a Cisitalia round the racetrack in the last century.

__Fritz Kaiser, you presided over the birth of Roarington. Is this the fulfilment of a boyhood dream for a lifelong autophile?__<br>
