History of the company

Competitions

Italtecnica’s activities started in 1986, enjoying more than 15 years of success in competitions all over the world with Peugeot Sport.
We mention just some the main results which brought us on top levels: Paris to Dakar Rally 1988 and CampionatoItalianoSuperturismo 1994.
In more recent years, the professional partnership with Maserati Racing led to the development of the Maserati GT Light, namely the winner of the GT3 Italian Championship in 2005.

Prototypes constructions

Italtecnica, during his longstanding activity, has frequently worked together with prominent companies and well known car designers – such as the Centro Studi Pininfarina, Bertone, Ferrari RepartoEsperienze and Maserati, Italdesign – dealing with the mechanical side during the construction of prototypal vehicles.

Engine expertise: test benches

Since the beginning of its activity, Italtecnica owned a test bench for Peugeot Sport engine testing.Subsequently, a second test bench was built, following the commitments with Maserati, especially for the MC12 engine development.
In the last years, four other test benches have been added, in order to satisfy clients’ demand.

Tuning

Besides motorsport activity, Italtecnica is also the only Official Distributor in Italy for the innovative ROTREX, a belt driven centrifugal superchargers.
This partnership provided Italtecnica with the opportunity to enterin the streettuning field with a technologicallyadvanced, reliable and exclusive product.
