A Serie Titanio V8 espresso machine by Super Veloce of Johannesburg, a half-scale sculpture in the form of a nineties Formula One engine that functions as a capsule espresso maker, with a grappa reservoir concealed in the oil filler for a caffè corretto.
The machine is precision-machined from aerospace-grade materials, with components in Anticorodal 6082 T6 and 7075 aluminum alloys, 316 and 304 stainless steel, and titanium; the billet engine block with polished velocity stacks; chrome exhaust stacks serving as the pour spouts; and red anodized cam covers with carbon fiber inlay. Each example is hand-built in limited numbers, and the series stands as the best-known expression of the engine-art genre, part functioning espresso maker, part tribute to the era of Senna and Schumacher.
