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.
