Turbo Florio 3
1960 356 Emory RS Speedster

Turbo Florio 3 is a story in motion. A 1960 Emory RS Speedster, it brings heritage lines and focused craftsmanship into the Turbo Florio conversation, with a gallery built to carry the car from planning through delivery and into real miles. Early entries dwell on intent and decisions: honoring pre-993 lineage, keeping the aesthetic clean and purposeful, and balancing craft with use. As the car advances, the pictures shift from shop light to open road—fit-and-finish details giving way to first starts, shakedown loops, and longer routes where character reveals itself one corner at a time.

I avoid pinning the build to a single “reveal.” The point is to document process without spoiling discovery: the small solves that make the bigger picture work; textures that read differently under fluorescents versus evening sun; the moment a workshop object turns into a road car with a voice of its own. Once driving begins, the cadence changes—fewer static angles, more motion; fewer mockups, more mornings where the route matters as much as the destination. I want the photography to connect decisions to feel without turning into a parts list—show how choices play out in use and let the images carry the proof.

The name anchors the car’s center of gravity. Most of its life will be on the Central Coast—cool mornings, light over the hills, and roads that reward a light, responsive package. Seen alongside the rest of the collection, Turbo Florio 3 connects past to present without pretending to be a museum piece. It is meant to be used and photographed honestly—coastal runs, mountain mornings, and ordinary days that still feel like something when the conditions line up. This page will grow as the car does—no finish line, just a clear path from workshop intent to everyday routes where that intent proves itself, with images that privilege clarity over hype and movement over pose.
