About Project

Abarth, the historic Italian company known for tuning and modifying automobiles has signed a partnership agreement with Intel, the leading multinational microprocessor manufacturer. The partnership, which came about thanks to the consultancy services of RTR Sports Marketing, stems from the desire of the two brands to work together on the development of innovative products and devices, based on original, highly technologically advanced concepts.

The first result of the agreement is Abarth Powerplay Extreme 965, a high-performance desktop equipped with the brand new Intel® Core™ i7 Extreme processor, the most powerful ever produced by Intel.

The PC, produced by Brain Technology, a leading company in the design of “made-to-measure” IT solutions, fully reflects the values of the “House of the Scorpion”: compact, fast and with an innovative design, it offers extremely high performance in terms of speed and power. Abarth Powerplay Extreme 965 has been conceived to satisfy the needs of the keenest gamers, who represent an extremely demanding public and a tough testing ground for evaluating a computer’s performance.

I have known and worked with Riccardo Tafà since 1995 when we collaborated for the first time on a project for the Williams Formula 1 team. Several clients followed. After leaving Williams to work for Gerhard Berger then owner of the Toro Rosso F1 Team, I turned again to Riccardo to seek his help in finding a tool supplier for the team and Riccardo duly obliged with an introduction to USAG, a partnership with Toro Rosso which endured for five years. I recently started a new role as Group Commercial Director for the renowned Andretti Autosport organisation and I find myself working with Riccardo once again on a number of interesting projects. Why has this relationship with Riccardo endured ? He’s smart, knows the commercial side of sport inside out and back to front and he’s honest and trustworthy. Riccardo Tafà is a “doer” not a “talker”: in over 20 years I have never had a dispute either with him or with a company that he has introduced and each partnership introduced by Riccardo has delivered quantifiable ROI to rights holder and sponsor alike. I can think of no better testimonial of Riccardo’s diligence, knowledge, contact base and hard work than that.
