Kinetic Speed Shop is pleased to announce its recent joint venture with South African based Taurino Racing and founder Andrea Taurino, to form Kinetic-Taurino Racing. This partnership adds yet another marquee suite to Kinetic's already impressive offering of motorsport brands. Kinetic–Taurino Racing offers Ferrari clientele both the ‘first class' service Kinetic's is known for, as well as, the vast resources and experience Taurino Racing has provided over its 20 year history.
"Over the past few years we have seen a drastic increase in the exotic car market worldwide and more specifically from U.S. clientele", says Taurino. "Our new relationship with Kinetic's along with their amazing facility, allows us to employ our experience and expand into the U.S. marketplace."
Owned and operated out of Bedfordview, South Africa, Taurino Racing's 1,400 square meter facility offers clients everything from full car restoration to track side services. Housing the most "state-of-the-art" equipment, Taurino Racing has built a premiere reputation among Ferrari enthusiasts in South Africa and Italy. Utilizing Kinetic's 40,000 square foot motorsport shop on the outskirts of Atlanta, Taurino will have the necessary staff, tools and equipment to expand both the Kinetic and Taurino brand.
Founded in 2005 by Swedish pro-driver Nic Jonsson and entrepreneur Russell Smith, Kinetic's has matured into a "one-stop-shop" for sport car aficionados around the country.
"We are excited about the opportunities here with Taurino and developing this new division that will cater to Ferrari enthusiast." says Kinetic co-founder, Russell Smith.
