The fascinating history of Dallara
Founded in 1972 by Gian Paolo Dallara , a former Lamborghini and Maserati engineer, Dallara quickly established itself as one of the world's most respected chassis manufacturers. Based in Varano de' Melegari, near Parma, Italy, this family-owned company revolutionized the approach to racing car manufacturing.
Dallara began by developing Formula 3 and Formula 2 cars before moving up the ranks to Formula 1. In the 1980s and 1990s, the brand made a name for itself by supplying chassis to several F1 teams, including Scuderia Italia, BMS Dallara, and HiTech. At the same time, the company developed remarkable expertise in building chassis for the American IndyCar Series, becoming the exclusive supplier to this prestigious discipline.
Dallara's technical approach, combining aerodynamic innovation and structural lightness, has made the brand a leading name in the world of motor racing. The Model cars in this collection reflect this technical excellence through remarkably accurate reproductions.
A striking anecdote from the Dallara universe
One of Dallara's most fascinating stories concerns the development of the DW12 chassis for the IndyCar Series in 2012. This project, carried out in collaboration with the series' drivers and engineers, required more than three years of development and hundreds of hours of wind tunnel testing. The unique feature of this chassis lies in its revolutionary safety system, incorporating for the first time a survival cockpit designed to withstand the most violent impacts.
This technical innovation, born from the tragic experience of fatal accidents in the discipline, perfectly illustrates Dallara's commitment to driver safety . Even today, this chassis equips the entire IndyCar grid, testifying to Italian know-how in the design of safe and high-performance racing cars. This historical and technical dimension is reflected in each Model in the collection, carrying within it the legacy of this Italian excellence.
