Forgotten Legends. The Stanguellini meteor
Stanguellini was an Italian sports car manufacturer founded by Vittorio Stanguellini in the 1930s. They began building racing cars with small four-cylinder engines and achieved success in uphill and Mille Miglia races.
There is a passion for cars and racing in the DNA of the Emilians: alongside Enzo Ferrari, the Maserati brothers and Ferruccio Lamborghini, there are many other names, arguably less famous but from the same roots, nonetheless. Among these, a prime example is unquestionably Stanguellini.

Already in the 1930s Vittorio Stanguellini, a Fiat dealer from Modena, had built interesting and successful racing cars. He was not yet a true manufacturer as he made one-offs, but he possessed a burning desire to become one by treasuring the specialist knowledge of FIAT mechanics, particularly as he was a dealer of this brand.
