	GrandPrix.com > GP Encyclopedia > Drivers > Piero Drogo
		Piero Drogo was born in Vignale Monferrato, a small town near the city of Alessandria in Piedmont.
		He raced extensively across the South American continent in sports cars and in the road races that were popular at the time and he knew most of the top racers of the era, notably Fangio.
		Drogo was killed in April 1973 at the wheel of a Ferrari 250 California when he ran into a truck that had stopped in an unlit tunnel near Bologna.

		Drogo raced extensively on the South American continent in sports cars and saloons.
		Fourth place overall in the same event a year later encouraged Piero to head for Europe to try his luck, but his first visit to Le Mans ended in disappointment when the car was eliminated in an accident.
		Drogo lost his life in a road accident in 1972 when his car ploughed into the back of an unlit truck which had broken down in a tunnel.

	JOHN STARKEY CARS :: GRYFON INC.
		Piero Drogo was an interesting man. He had gravitated to Modena from his homeland of Brazil and raced a Ferrari Testa Rossa.
		Sadly, Piero was killed in later years whilst at the wheel of a Ferrari 250 California on the street.
		The old Drogo bodywork was discarded and bought by an enthusiast who had the paneling made good with new aluminum where necessary and then fitted that to a "GTO-ized" GTE chassis.

		Se he took a 250 GT SWB and modified it to GTO specifications.
		At the same time he had Piero Drogo clothe it with a body designed by Giotto Bizzarrini and based on the aerodynamic theories of Dr. Wunibald Kamm.
		Volpi allora prese una 250 GT SWB e la fece modificare da Piero Drogo, su design di Giotto Bizzarrini.

	SUPERCARS.NET - 1966 Ferrari 206 S
		Piero Drogo was responsible for the design of body which was crafted by his company, Carrozzeria Sports Cars.
		The limited production number combined with a most attractive Drogo body make the 206 a one of the most sought after Ferraris.
		While much of the design cues were carried through to the Dino 246, it lacked much of the pure, race-bred design elements found in the 206.

		The car was then sent to Piero Drogo who rebodied it.
		When the car was returned to Kerrison it was 40 kilo's lighter and almost 4 inches lower than the new GTO, with the engine being rebuild very much to GTO specs, including six carburators and a dry sump oil system.
		The engine to be used was rebuild to the original specs as used by Neri and Bonaccini who had done the engine and mechanical work for Drogo originally.

		In an age when modern endurance cars are little more than streamlined wedges, its feline muscularity set it apart as something truly special.
		Built by Brazilian Piero Drogo's Carrozzeria Sports Cars in Modena, it was much lower than a P2, at 37.4 inches high.
		Ferraris with a racing history can be worth double or more in value than these cars would bring otherwise, having as much to do with Ferrari lore as it does with logic.

		More than happy to oblige, the talented engineer set out to turn 2819 GT into an even more extreme racer than the GTO already was.
		The car was transferred to Piero Drogo's workshop and upgraded by Bizzarrini in an incredibly short period of time.
		His first objective was to mount the engine as far back and as low as possible to obtain an ideal centre of gravity.

		Luego se vendió a otro piloto que destrozó la carrocería en un accidente, siendo reconstruída por Piero Drogo con una forma distinta a la original, aprovechando la coyuntura para retrasar el motor y rebajar la altura del coche mejorando la aerodinámica.
		Años después el coche fue comprado por un coleccionista que le restituyó la carrocería original, vendiendo la carrocería Drogo a otro coleccionista, que la puso sobre una réplica de 250 GTO sobre chásis de 250 GTE.
		Para que comprendáis lo que quise decir con lo de "deliciosamente extravagante" pongo una foto del delirante 330 GT de Drogo.

		04-05-2004 07:30 AM Joop, was the picture of the Drogo with s/n 3611 GT in the older thread you linked to taken at Zandvoort?
		If I recall correctly I saw it at Italia a Zandvoort in 2000 and judging by the picture it could well be the paddock of Zandvoort.
		Drogo, Modena, for rebodying with special bodywork similar to 2753.

	MASERATI TIPO 61 'BIRDCAGE' SPECIFICATION
		Campaigned aggressively by the Camoradi team they became well known particularly in the US where they had great success.
		Only one unusual vehicle in this otherwise standard design stands out and that is the car formerly used by Casner which following his accident at Le Mans in 1961 was radically modified by Piero Drogo.
		The result was a totally different exterior with a pointed body with air scoops in the lower nose and an independent rear suspension by eliminating the De Dion axle.

	Atlas F1 Bulletin Board - The Ferrari P3 / P4
		The P3 was fitted with what is recognized as one of the most pure and beautiful bodies ever created for a competition Ferrari.
		Built by Argentinean, Piero Drogo’s Carrozzeria Sports Cars in Modena, it was much lower than a P2 at 37.4 inches high.
		I knew that Brazilian connection was new and surprising to me - I had read somewhere about Drogo but forgot he came from Argentina (he probably was an Italian by nationality anyway, I believe - there are lot of them in Argentina).

	8W - Who? - Fritz D'Orey
		He retired and had to give up the idea of taking part in the Tour de France with Italian driver Piero Drogo.
		In late 1959, Fritz d’Orey was in Sebring to take part both in a Formula Junior race and the US F1 Grand Prix.
		Some drivers such as Bob Said, Jo Bonnier, Piero Drogo and Giorgio Scarlatti himself tried the car and all agreed it wasn't fast.

		Bizzarrini then added all the features of the GTO that made it successful.
		This included dry sump lubrication, a lower, more centered engine position and a radical body that was executed by Piero Drogo's coachworks.
		In some ways, Count Volpi got a car that was better than a GTO.

	Welcome to the P4 Replica Register (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		The motive power used varies: - from the humble Renault PRV V-6; through 'Cossie Turbo's', various V-8's (mostly Rover or Chevy) to a Lamborghini V-12 and even a couple of cars with genuine Ferrari V-12's !
		They are all quite different in their level of detailing, but what their owners all share is a common passion for that beautiful shape created by Piero Drogo and Mauro Forghieri that was the 1967 Sports Car Championship-winning Ferrari 330P4.
		If you own a P4 Replica (and there are still quite a few Noble P4's unaccounted for), even if it's an unfinished project, we'd like to hear from you.

	The Auto Channel--Sports Car International V12 I1
		And it was Rivolta, Bizzarrini insists, who decided the competition car would be shown in raw aluminum: "He understood it would be a good crowd puller."
		Yet a third version of the Grifo story is given by Piero Rivolta, Renzo's son and soon to be the leader of Iso on the death of his father in 1966.
		Working in the company while finishing up his engineering degree at the Milano Politecnico, he recalls, "At that time our production was slower than we wanted.

		The body, much lighter than the A3/L, was similarly shaped, except that the windshield had a more distinctive rake, sloped at almost the same angle as the engine hood.
		Like all racers, the interior was spartan, especially compared to the luxuriously trimmed A3/L. The first A3/C body, built by Piero Drogo of Sports Cars Modena, hosted some 7,000 rivets as insurance that the welds would hold.
		With a Borg-Warner T-10 4-speed transmission and suspension identical to the A3/L's (independent in front and the deDion system out back), the car attracted enough attention to convince Rivolta to put it into limited production.

		Roberto Guerrero is the only Colombian ever in the Formula One World Championship, although the second one may appear in 2001 in the Williams team.
		Johnny Cecotto is one of three Venezualans, but Ettore Chimeri and Piero Drogo only competed one Grand Prix each.
		Alberto Johnny Cecotto was a mercurial talent in motocycle racing and a debut into Grand Prix racing has hardly ever been more impressive.

		The prototype body was built by Piero Drogo at his shop Sports Cars Modena.
