The Delange DI12, a unique masterpiece of automotive design, is a symbol of elegance and sophistication, made even more extraordinary by the bespoke body crafted by Allemano. This one-of-a-kind creation left an indelible mark at the prestigious 1935 Concorso d’Eleganza di Torino, where it was presented with grace and precision. Behind the wheel was Mr. Mario Dogliotti, who skillfully navigated the Delange DI12, distinguished by the number 4, onto the illustrious stage of the concours.

The Delange DI12’s distinctive lines and refined contours made it a standout at the event, captivating both the audience and judges. Its design, a harmonious blend of form and function, represented the pinnacle of craftsmanship and innovation. The meticulous attention to detail in the vehicle’s construction by Allemano ensured that it was not just another entrant but a true icon of style and luxury. Despite facing fierce competition from other finely crafted automobiles, the Delange DI12 Allemano earned the esteemed 2nd prize in its category. This accolade was a testament to its exquisite design and the impeccable execution that set it apart from its peers. As it graced the grounds of the Concorso d’Eleganza di Torino, the Delange DI12 left an unforgettable impression, reinforcing its status as a shining example of automotive excellence. The recognition it received affirmed its place in the annals of history, celebrated not only for its beauty but also for its embodiment of the highest standards of automotive engineering and design.
