O Hofstetter, one of the few national sports produced in Brazil, is a masterpiece of innovation and perseverance.
Its story begins in the 70s, when a young visionary named Mario Richard Hofstetter decided to create a car with a design inspired by renowned Italian studios.
Today, in 2025, this vehicle is a rare piece and a landmark of Brazilian creativity and ingenuity in the automotive sector.
It all started in 1968, when Mário, still 12 years old, saw images of Bertone Carabo at the Paris Salon.
With wedge-shaped lines and a futuristic design, the concept car deeply moved the boy.
From that moment on, he decided he would create a sports car that was just as impressive.
Already in 1972, at just 16 years old, Mário drew the first sketches of what would become the Hofstetter.
If you have the opportunity to see one Hofstetter up close, you'll know you're looking at a work of art on wheels.
Valuing our automotive history is essential, and the Hofstetter is, without a doubt, a rare gem that deserves to be celebrated.
