| GAGLIARDI DESIGN and the VENDETTA |
GAGLIARDI DESIGN is a family owned and operated company located in Southern
California, owned by Franco Gagliardi. Our intention
is to bring stylish exotic designs to the auto enthusiast who has
the passion for something different but not strange. We have
been in the custom and kit car industry for over ten years building
cars for television, movies and shows as well as building for a few
well known kit car companies. Finally, we decided it was time
to bring our passion and designs to the kit car world, which led to
the introduction of the
GAGLIARDI VENDETTA.
The VENDETTA is a Franco Gagliardi design and
our goal was to capture the spirit of a true Italian
exotic car. The car started as just an idea and
after a simple twenty minute sketch, the Gagliardi
family decided to bring this design to life. Taking
over one year to create, we feel we have reached
our goal with the Vendetta style and design. The
body was designed to accept a donor car as well as a
custom tubular chassis, giving the Vendetta the
versatility to be built as an affordable cruiser or as a
high performance super car. One of the biggest
challenges that the Vendetta had to endure was to be
presented to and accepted by the kit car community.
Although the car was scheduled to be completed for
it's debut at the Knott's Berry Farm AHA Show, it
was far from being complete due to design changes.
We found ourselves having to make the tough decision of whether or not to display the
car in it's unfinished state. After taking into consideration that our main goal was to
display the Vendetta's style and design, we voted
to enter the show. After receiving a tremendous
amount of positive comments from the crowd,
we started to feel that maybe we had made the
right decision. Well, as it turned out, the
VENDETTA was awarded first place in it's
category.
Gagliardi Design is currently working on a
sister car for the Vendetta and we hope to
introduce the coupe version soon.
