Creative Workshop Sport Speciale

Inspired by the big displacement European racecars of the late ’50’s and early ’60’s such as the Ferrari TR59/60, Aston Martin DBR1, Maserati 450S, Creative Workshop has built the Sport Speciale for Barry and Lynn Smith of Scottsdale, Arizona.

The Creative Workshop Sport Speciale is fitted with a chrome-moly tubular chassis and a Superleggera style, stainless steel wire rimmed, hand formed aluminum body.

The Sport Speciale is powered by an F1 inspired, specially built, performance BMW V12 through a 6-speed transmission. The braking system and handling uses Brembo and Wilwood racing disc brakes, tubular, adjustable suspension arms, BRT rack steering, race-bred sway bars and many other technological advancements.

Other features include original Veglia gauges, original Nardi steering wheel, original Marchal and Carello steering wheel, Magneti Marelli switches and Borrani wheels.
