CEO/Owner
About Anthony L. Crudup Jr.
Founder & CEO, 215 Racing Inc.
Anthony L. Crudup Jr. is a visionary automotive entrepreneur with a three-decade career in aviation, holding prominent roles as a Certified Aircraft Technician, Chief Inspector, QA and QC Manager, and Maintenance Manager. His extensive experience in precision engineering and quality assurance laid the foundation for his transition into the world of high-performance automobiles.
In 2011, Anthony founded 215 Racing Inc. with a clear mission: to solve a common problem in the sports car and supercar market—the lack of cabin space for taller drivers. Determined to redefine comfort and performance, he partnered with designer Daniel Chinchilla to create the Mostro Di Potenza, which translates to "Monster of Power." This bold and innovative supercar combined breathtaking design with exceptional power and spaciousness, making a lasting impression on the industry.
As an active member of SEMA since the company's inception, Anthony's work quickly captured the attention of Joan Ferci of Lamborghini LatinoAmerica. This led to him becoming CEO of the company’s US arm, where he played a key role in expanding the brand’s presence. During this time, he was personally mentored by Robert Branner, an ex-executive of Lamborghini S.A., gaining invaluable insights into the supercar industry.
Now, Anthony is taking 215 Racing Inc. into the EV market with an innovative new venture. Inspired by two stunning designs from Angelo Granata, the company is developing the Mostro GTE—a cutting-edge electric supercar that stays true to 215 Racing’s signature goal: offering enough cabin space to accommodate drivers up to 6'8".
MY HONEST OPINION ON WHERE ARE WITH FLYING CARS
In my opinion, personal flying vehicles are still at least two or three decades away from becoming a practical reality. Here’s why.
IS TESLA GONNA MAKE IT?
In the coming months, I predict Tesla will be forced into a massive fire sale to offload their bloated inventory. The warning signs are everywhere: missed delivery targets, price cuts that have slashed margins to the bone, brand damage from an increasingly controversial CEO, and a tidal wave of competition—especially from China—that offers similar or better EVs at a fraction of the cost.
