A walk through automotive history you won’t soon forget
The Brumos Collection is 35,000 square feet dedicated to the technology, innovation and historical significance behind some of the world’s finest automobiles and the captivating people behind them. Interactive media brings these stunning vehicles to life, allowing you to explore at your own pace. If there’s one thing we want you to take away from your visit, it’s a newfound appreciation for the drivers, the mechanics and the innovators who helped usher in such an exciting era in automotive racing and design. With cars spanning three centuries, the museum was designed to take you through two unique exhibits: the Forerunners and the Frontrunners.
forerunners
Featuring open cockpit racers and automotive innovations as early as 1894, the Forerunners take you back to the early days of automobile creation and let you explore the ideas of trailblazers such as Peugeot, Miller, Duesenberg, Offenhauser and Bugatti.
1914 Peugeot L45
Many consider the L45 the great-grandfather of the modern-day performance car. Engineered by a group of Peugeot drivers, whose unorthodox and innovative ideas earned them the nickname “Les Charlatans”, it is considered one of the most significant race cars of the 20th century. The L45 was part of a series of Peugeots that featured the world’s first dual overhead camshaft engines, the ancestors of all high-performance engines to follow.
1926 MILLER 91
A testament to the automotive genius of Harry Miller, the Miller 91 was the culmination of Miller dominance on American racetracks, winning every major race in the late 1920s and breaking all possible speed records. Considered the pinnacle of American race engineering before WWII, the Miller 91's influence reached far beyond America, and heavily influenced European automakers like Ettore Bugatti.
1939 ALFA ROMEO 8C 2900B
Considered one of the most beautiful pre-war sports cars, Alfa Romeo built just thirty-two 8C 2900Bs before World War II engulfed Europe. It was one of the most powerful, advanced, fast, and prestigious sports cars on the market at its time. Of the thirty-two that were made, only a handful received a stunning open body by Touring on the long chassis like ours. It's now one of the twelve known remaining Touring Spiders.
frontrunners
Porsche design and engineering comes to life right in front of your eyes, with cars celebrating Porsche racing history and Brumos' own countless racing triumphs.
1967 Porsche 910
An often overlooked prototype, the Porsche 910 helped Porsche's race program come of age in 1967, both in endurance racing and hill climbs. It saw class wins at Daytona, Sebring, Monza and Spa. Porsche 910s also conquered the full podium at the Nürburgring, marking Porsche’s nostalgic first-home track victory.
1970 Porsche 908/3 Spyder
Tailored for races favoring agility over power like the twisty Nürburgring and the Targa Florio’s snaking public roads, the 908/3 was part of Porsche’s one-two punch to win the World Sportscar Championship in 1970 and 1971, with the potent 917K handling other tracks like Sebring, Daytona, Monza and Spa.
1979 Porsche 935
Instantly recognizable in its looks, our Porsche 935 is one of the many cars in our collection representing an iconic moment in Brumos history. Dominating the entire season with eight straight wins and two more top-ten finishes, it brought Peter Gregg his sixth and last IMSA Championship in 1979.
