The San Vito S1
Hailing from Brazil, the San Vito S1 is the creation of Vito Simone, a retired designer from Ford.
Mr. Simone founded his own aftermarket auto accessories company, specializing in aero-kits called "Personal Parts" but always wanted to build his own car. The project was started in 2005 and, by 2009, the S1 made its debut at the San Paolo Motor Show.
