Each week, 14-year-old Brandon joins us at Auto Vino to explore our collection of rare and exotic cars. With Buff Giurlani's mentorship, he selects a new vehicle to research and turns his insights into creative projects. Whether writing about the cars or crafting visuals, Brandon's passion for automotive history is fully displayed.

This week, he chose the legendary Porsche 964 Turbo S. Known for its racing heritage and powerful 3.6-liter engine, this car is a piece of history that changed how people view sports cars. As Brandon puts it: "The Porsche 911 is iconic because it pushed the limits of what sports cars could do, especially in the early '90s with models like the Turbo S."

Last week, Brandon explored the Ferrari Petrol versus Ferrari Hybrid, blending art and analysis to highlight these iconic machines. His fresh perspective brings a new energy to our collection, and we're excited to showcase his work as part of Buff's vision to inspire the next generation of car lovers.

Stay tuned for more of Brandon's incredible projects as he continues to explore the art and legacy of these remarkable vehicles.

1974 Fiat 500 R: A Symbol of Italian Heritage at Auto Vino

At Auto Vino, we showcase rare cars, fine wine, and Italian culture. Our 1974 Fiat 500 R, painted in Italian flag colors with the Mona Lisa on the hood, is a standout tribute to Italy's automotive legacy.

A Storied Past

This Fiat 500, bought initially by Buff Giurlani from the Mona Lisa restaurant in North Beach, reflects the charm of San Francisco's Little Italy. Designed by Dante Giacosa and produced from 1957 to 1975, the 500 R was the final version of this iconic car—compact, practical, and full of character.

An Added Attraction to Our Wine Garden

Parked in our outdoor wine garden, the Fiat 500 R is a fun and interactive photo booth. Guests love to hop in or pose around it, adding a personal touch to their visit while enjoying our beautiful outdoor space. It's become a popular attraction that blends perfectly with Auto Vino's laid-back, inviting atmosphere.
See It Yourself

Experience it during Friday lunches from 12 to 1:30 PM or at our weekend wine tastings on Saturday and Sunday from 12 to 4 PM, and make the most of your time at Auto Vino.

That’s why we’re excited to introduce Brandon, a 14-year-old freshman in high school with a deep love for high-performance cars.

Through his videography, he captures the excitement of these incredible machines, offering a fresh perspective on how the next generation views car evolution.

Stay tuned as he continues to share his thoughts and insights, helping to fuel the future of car enthusiasm at Auto Vino.

At AutoVino, the Ferrari SF90 is stored and showcased in the grand showroom, kept in pristine condition for all to admire. As a plug-in hybrid, the SF90 is connected to its charging port, ensuring the hybrid system is always fully powered. Like other exotic cars at AutoVino, non-hybrid vehicles are maintained with a battery tender, guaranteeing they’re ready to start up without hesitation. When the owner is ready to experience the thrill of the SF90, it passes through one of two enclosed car bays, which protect the pristine environment of the showroom from the outside elements. After an exhilarating drive, the car is returned to be meticulously wiped down by AutoVino’s world-class detailers, ensuring any road dust or grime is carefully removed before it is once again displayed, fully prepped for its next adventure.

The Ferrari SF90 represents the pinnacle of Ferrari’s engineering, blending hybrid technology with breathtaking performance. As Ferrari’s first full-production plug-in hybrid, the SF90 delivers an astonishing 986 horsepower from its combination of a twin-turbo V8 engine and three electric motors. This powerful synergy enables the SF90 to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in just 2.5 seconds, making it one of the fastest cars Ferrari has ever produced.

In addition to its performance, the SF90 honors Scuderia Ferrari’s 90th year of creating some of the most desirable cars on the planet. Its design and technology celebrate Ferrari’s racing legacy while pushing the boundaries of automotive innovation. Advanced systems like the "RAC-e" (Regulator, Electric) provide unmatched agility, allowing the car to precisely handle corners. The SF90’s lightweight construction, aerodynamic lines, and hybrid efficiency make it a marvel of speed and sustainability.

Inside, the SF90 offers a luxurious driving experience with fine Italian leather, carbon fiber accents, and cutting-edge technology. The climate-controlled environment of AutoVino’s showroom ensures the car’s interior remains immaculate, free from dust and outside contaminants. This carefully maintained setting keeps every detail as flawless as the day it arrived, ensuring that when the owner steps inside, the experience is nothing short of perfection—ready for its next exhilarating journey.
