About the man himself we know that he has been married to an Italian since 1982, has two children aged 11 and 15 and as a boy in the USA played basketball up to university level, he loves animals (has three dogs) and cooking exotic dishes.

A dream car, which everyone wants even in the knowledge that for many it’s unreachable.
