Description:
We have chosen the “Route 40” in Patagonia as our iconic road because this is the place where we were born and raised. We love the landscapes, the adventurous culture around this road and we are always planning the next trip back to Patagonia, which will add to the many we already did in the past.
Patagonia is one of the last wild and untouched regions of the planet. Recently scenario of the famous Dakar rally races, we envision that in 15 years it will become one of the most important destinations for car fans looking for adventure and a passionate driving experience.
The route 40 which crosses the whole region of Patagonia from north to south is nowadays almost entirely paved. On its sides there is a large network of roads with different soil types with a mix of gravel and mud, providing the ideal playground for the joy of adventure car riders.
We have mixed two basic riding concepts: on one hand the pleasure of driving an old Formula One car on the main asphalt route and on the other hand providing the means for a mind blowing 4X4 experience for the off-road sections. The latter is achieved through a mechanism that uses a wrench to activate the transformation of the wheels. Back to the origins, back to the mud and dust!
