Who we are
Alessio Studios is Alex Pirrone, Saks Afridi and Steve Rosen.
Our Beginning
Founded in 2020, Alessio Studio emerged from a simple premise: the Porsche 911 (997) generation deserves the same bespoke attention, engineering rigor and emotional depth that the automotive world reserves for ultra-high-end restomods. Our mission is clear — to build only 10–15 cars per year, each one a profoundly personalised fusion of driver desire, mechanical excellence and handcrafted design.
Why the 997 (and Why Us)
The 997 generation is a pivotal era for Porsche — a moment when analogue driver engagement, motorsport pedigree and modern engineering converge. What sets Alessio Studio apart is our pure focus:
We only build 997s (and its Cayman sibling, the Porsche Cayman 987) — this single-platform devotion means every bolt, every harness routing, every mount has been dissected, understood and optimised.
We combine boutique studio sensibility with precision engineering — each car has the soul of a custom coach-build and the foundations of a rigorously engineered performance machine.
Our creative direction attends to both the seen (exterior finish, cockpit aesthetics) and the unseen (cooling architecture, oil systems, drivetrain integrity) — because the feeling of driving this car should match how good it looks.
The Process
OUR METHOD — 10 BUILDS A YEAR
We don’t mass-produce. We curate.
Each Alessio Studio car begins with a detailed discovery — how you drive, where you drive, what moves you.
Then our multidisciplinary team — designers, mechanics, and engineers — translate that into a coherent build brief.
From teardown to test-drive, you’ll receive documentation, photography, and video updates along the way.
We complete roughly 10 to 15 builds per year, ensuring every detail meets the standard we’d demand for our own cars.
Our Philosophy
At Alessio Studio we believe in coherence: when all systems — engine, transmission, chassis, electronics, aesthetics — are treated as parts of a unified work, the result transcends mere build. You don’t just drive it. You experience it.
We believe in precision: no guesswork, no “bolt-on” mentality. Every component is chosen for its fit, finish, durability and how it supports the character of the car.
We believe in story: your car is not an off-the-shelf proposition. It’s a custom narrative, shaped by your intent, materialised by our craft, and destined for the road.
What makes us different
Low volume, high craft: With just 10–15 builds per year, we don’t rush. Every car earns its place in the Alessio Studio collection.
Deep mechanical partnerships: Our engine and powertrain work is anchored by our exclusive alignment with Slakker Racing — the only U.S. rebuilder affiliated with Hartech Racing UK. This means race-hardened durability meets street-usable refinement.
Integrated creative & technical leadership: With a creative director at the helm of brand identity, livery, interior design and visual storytelling, each build is not only engineered but also composed.
Documentation & transparency: From the moment we teardown the donor vehicle to final delivery, you’ll receive process photography, build timelines, and a full briefing — because we believe the journey is as meaningful as the outcome.
Our commitment to you
When you partner with Alessio Studio you’re not selecting “a 997 build option.” You’re commissioning a bespoke machine. We commit to aligning with you: your driving style, your aesthetic leanings, your mechanical expectations.
From first consultation to delivery, we ensure the final car feels like an extended part of you — capable of trackday drama, weekend canyon sweeps or refined grand-touring. And above all, it inherits the legacy of the 997 generation — but re-imagined for today, crafted for tomorrow.
