After four and a half years of work, we are proud to present the progress on our scratch built tribute to Guiseppi Figoni. The BMW V-12 powered car with a one of a kind fuel injection and C5 Corvette running gear designed and executed by project Tech Wizard Stephen Pierce of ONE OFF TECHNOLOGIES, Gilford, NH is running and driving. The hand formed aluminum body by Joe Stafford of PANEL CRAFT, Bethlehem, NH is currently being final metalfinished by John Fairhurst of J & J CLASSIC RESTORATIONS in Belmont, NH. Clearly the finest accomplishment of our collective careers, the PROJECT PASSION Team is shooting for a completion date of March 2011.

The late Strother MacMinn said of the Shah of Persia car in the October 1986 ROAD & TRACK, "It is an ultimate icon in the religion of great automobile design; a Type 57C Bugatti with the most sensuously seductive body ever conceived. It was staggering."
