We’re excited to officially welcome Victoria Bruno to the team! With a deep-rooted passion for classic cars and an impressive background, Victoria brings a unique blend of skill, knowledge, and fresh perspective to her role as Classic Mechanical & Heritage Director for all LAPIS® dealerships. Victoria Bruno is quickly becoming a standout name in the world of classic cars. She’s built her career by combining real hands-on skills, strong knowledge, and a passion for sharing automotive history in a way that feels fresh and modern.

She graduated in 2023 from McPherson College with a degree in Automotive Restoration, finishing at the top of her class, summa cum laude. Not long after, she began working at the well-known Patrick Ottis Company as a vintage Ferrari mechanic. From 2023 to 2026, she worked directly on some of the most iconic cars in the world, focusing on careful restoration and high-quality service. Victoria’s expertise has also led her to become an official judge at some of the most respected car events, including the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, Cavallino Classic, and Audrain Concours. These events bring together the best classic cars in the world, and being selected as a judge shows just how trusted her knowledge is.

Outside of her technical work, Victoria has built a strong following online. Through her Instagram account @MotoriBruno, she shares her experiences, restoration work, and behind-the-scenes looks at the automotive world with more than 170,000 followers. Her content helps make classic cars more interesting and accessible to a wider audience. Now, she’s taken on a major role as the Classic Mechanical & Heritage Director at LAPIS®, the parent company of Ferrari of Rancho Mirage. In this position, she leads classic car programs, helps create special events, and works on branding and social media. Even with these responsibilities, she still stays involved with hands-on restoration work. As new developments grow at Ferrari of Rancho Mirage and The Thermal Club, Victoria’s main focus remains on Ferrari, but there are plans to expand into other brands, including Porsche, throughout the years to come.
