[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_column_text text_lead=”yes” uncode_shortcode_id=”140517″]<\/p>\n

At Brian Redman\u2019s Targa 66, the Revs Workshop team tested six historic race cars including the Porsche Elva, Alfa GTA, Lotus 23, GT40, 917 P\/A, and 908\/3.

ModaMiami<\/h3>\n

[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_column_text text_lead=”yes” uncode_shortcode_id=”130671″]<\/p>\n

This past weekend, February 28 through March 1, Revs participated in ModaMiami<\/span><\/span><\/a>. Despite steady rain on Saturday and a full monsoon on Sunday, the energy on the showfield never slowed.<\/p>\n

The McLaren F1<\/span><\/span> competed on the showfield and earned Best in Show for Modern Cars along with a win in its Featherweight Class. The F1 also served as the lead car for the 100 Club rally, driven by influencer Ed Bolian, VinWiki<\/a> creator<\/span><\/span>, automotive creator Tim (Shmee150<\/a>)<\/span><\/span>, and Revs\u2019 own Pedro Vela. It was a powerful demonstration of our belief that historic and modern icons alike should remain active and experienced.<\/p>\n

The 1966 Ford GT40<\/a> was displayed in partnership with Retromobile NYC<\/a>, reinforcing our international collaboration, while the Alfa Romeo GTA helped share Revs\u2019 vision of past, present, and future with attendees throughout the weekend.<\/p>\n

From Cars on Fifth and the recognition of Miles Collier<\/span><\/span> by the Global Automotive Hall of Fame<\/span><\/span>, to Ferrari history at Cavallino Classic<\/span><\/span>, extensive on track testing at Targa 66, and a rain soaked but triumphant weekend at ModaMiami<\/span><\/span>, February showcased the full scope of what we do at Revs Institute<\/span><\/span>.<\/p>\n

Each event reinforced our commitment to scholarship, preservation, and active engagement. Whether sharing archival stories, presenting historically significant automobiles, or exercising race cars at speed, every effort supports our mission of preserving the future of our automotive past.<\/p>\n

As part of our continued commitment to storytelling and education, Revs has also introduced a new specialty tour, Women Who Drove History<\/a>, celebrating the pioneering women who helped shape the automotive world. The tour offers visitors a deeper look at these remarkable stories through the vehicles and archives that preserve them.<\/p>\n

Stay tuned as we continue the momentum at the upcoming Amelia Island Concours d’Elegance<\/span><\/span><\/a>, where Revs will once again bring significant vehicles and meaningful storytelling to one of the world\u2019s premier automotive gatherings.<\/p>\n
