Loris Capirossi is a three-time World Champion converted to official functions relating to Grand Prix security for the promoter Dorna. But his mechanical passion is still as alive as ever. Many of his former colleagues and others in office have shown how their interest in everything that rolls extends beyond motorcycles. The car is also in the matrix and as they are exceptional characters, their choices are also exceptional. So this order from Capirex…
Some prefer to acquire the latest supercar and skim the range of Lamborghini or ride on a circuit in Ferrari. For Loris Capirossi, who delights behind the wheel of powerful BMW made available to the organization during its official functions, the quest for the absolute machine goes further. With him, we enter history and the unique model.
The proof with this project based on 1951 Mercury Coupe. The former driver commissioned customizer Emiro to restore and personalize this iconic model. The project dates back more than a year but, due to the health crisis, its completion took longer than expected.
The opus takes shape and we can see that the paint combines a bright green for the upper part, with a cream color for the lower part, interspersed with a chrome strip which crosses the side. For the engine, the sound of the V8 will of course be essential, but we can also bet on a muscular preparation, in the purest tradition of the Hot Road movement.
The interior will be a combined leather-alcantara according to the magazine MOW. We can't wait to see the Capirex in this personalized enclosure...
