Over ten years ago Simonini introduced the first engine for light aircraft market in Italy. The company was already a legend in the motorcycle industry in Europe. Enzo Simonini, founder of the company, was born and still lives very closed to the town of Maranello. Like no other place in the world, this area is famous for the great passion of its people: motors and great sports cars. Personal friend of Enzo Ferrari, Enzo Simonini grew up with the same passion and devoted all his life to the creation of engines for the motorcycle industry. Over ten years ago, convinced that another market was a future success, he started to apply his engineering expertise toward the light aircraft market. His direction was to design and manufacture very simple, yet very reliable engines that could outperform everything that was on the market. Since then his philosophy has not changed and his Research & Development never stop, continuously creating new engines for this market.
