Joe, you're missing something. The guy was referring to the modern race cars of the day in contrast to the old world architecture where the Targa Florio was held (until 1973).

The latest creation from Latvian security vehicle company Dartz is a Mercedes-Benz GLS-Class that's been equipped with an outrageously-styled body that's the first civilian vehicle to use the company's proprietary, lightweight GBOL ballistic armor. How protective is it? That's so top secret it hasn't even filed a patent on it.
