State-of-the-art Transporters

When it comes to transporting cars there are not many as familiar with the problems as Porsche racer and automotive designer Bruce Canepa. With over three decades of motorcycle and auto racing and operating a custom automotive design shop that covers two city blocks Bruce had encountered every headache possible when it came to transporting his cars from once place to another. He knew there had to be a better way.

Now there is Concept Transporters.
Bruce founded Concept Transporters with three principles in mind—STYLE, INNOVATION and QUALITY.

With a legendary history of custom automotive design. Bruce brought his design team, custom painters and race mechanics to Concept Vehicle Technologies to the create the finest and most unique Race Transporters, Luxury Coaches, Corporate and Vocational Trailers available today.

Historic Racing Preparation, Restoration and Parts

In today’s world of collectable cars, there are few greater benchmarks than being invited to participate at Pebble Beach and the Monterey Historic Automobile Races. Canepa Design restorations have competed at both events with distinction annually.

Canepa Design offers complete restoration services for collectable automobiles and historic racing cars. In addition we are re-manufacturing hard to find parts for racing Porsches including new body panels suspension and brake parts.

 

Originator of the High Performance Luxury SUV

Many years before the popularity of the Sport Utility Vehicles grew to what it is today, Bruce Canepa recognized that with their roomy cabins, commanding stance and all wheel drive, this vehicle type would become an important part of the automotive landscape. Bruce also recognized that in the future, the demanding SUV owner would simply want more than what the factory offered. True to its credo of innovation and roots in design and motorsports, Canepa Design set out to create something entirely new and unexpected, the high-performance luxury SUV.

Today, Canepa Design is recognized throughout the US as the preeminent specialist tuner of luxury SUV's, one that offers an astounding choice of design and performance upgrades.
