Effeffe Cars

Since its inception in 1929, the Concorso d'Eleganza – the most significant of all events celebrating Historic Cars as it is inspired by the heyday of aristocratic cars at the end of the 1920s – has been held at Villa D’Este. The 2014 edition marks the official unveiling of the Fuoriserie Effeffe Berlinetta prototype; the result of the enthusiasm of those who, like the Frigerio brothers, are passionate about vintage cars and who have established over the years a broad knowledge of the industry. The cockpit interior was entrusted to the savoir-faire of Matteograssi which, since 1880, has become world renowned for the quality of their coach hide and leather and for their attention to craftsmanship. Produced entirely by hand, the Effeffe Berlinetta is a car constructed with the same care with which craftsmen constructed the famous Gran Turismo at the end of the 1950s; a car of strong character, both formal and substantial, that expresses uniqueness, fascination and the aesthetic qualities of great design. The new effeffe Berlinetta represents the spirit of the craftsmen who created the industry's history and contributed to a car's success: from the frame builder to the engineer and the mechanic, from the sheet metal worker to the test driver, and we must not forget the importance of the master leatherworker, entrusted with the task of making the cockpit not only welcoming, but elegant, comfortable and luxurious. With completely Italian DNA, the effeffe Berlinetta fully reflects the sprit of the Fuoriserie, which few know were born from the exacting passion of Italian craftsmen. info@effeffecars.com
