Horsepower Heritage
ONE of ONE with Ben Bertucci and So Naito
On a narrow street in Tokyo, there's a nondescript little workshop known as Naito Engineering, where some of the world's most desirable sports and racing cars are cared for by a small team of men.
Founded by Shinichi Naito in 1952, it's now a third generation business where, on any given day, you might find a Ferrari 250LM on the lift or a Porsche racing engine being rebuilt. Shinichi's son Masao and his grandsons So and Kei now carry on the tradition.
For seven years, filmmaker Ben Bertucci has been documenting the life of the shop, and the result is the new feature-length film "One of One", which premieres September 1 on Prime Video and Apple TV+.
In this episode, Ben and So join Maurice to talk about the making of the film and what makes Naito Engineering so special.
