Thomas Limatola, the CEO of AUTOcouture Motoring, exemplifies this synthesis. A certified BMW Senior Master Technician, Tom’s journey is a testament to the profound impact of integrating personal passion with professional excellence.
Tom’s immersion in the automotive world is deeply rooted in his lineage.

These foundational principles have been the cornerstone of his leadership at AUTOcouture Motoring.

First starting as a 2nd Mechanic for Rebel Rock’s 4 car IMSA GS and ST team in 2014, quickly graduating to Lead Mechanic, Pit Crew, Assistant Engineer, Manager, and Strategist throughout the GS, GTD, and SuperTrofeo paddocks. For the past four years, he has been an integral part of Precision Performance Motorsports (PPM), a distinguished American racing team with a decorated history, including four championships and two world titles in the Lamborghini Super Trofeo North America series. In his capacity as Car Chief, Tom is instrumental in orchestrating the team’s technical operations with an amazing core of professionals from diverse areas of motorsports, ensuring that each vehicle is primed for peak performance.
The Lamborghini Super Trofeo series, a prestigious one-make championship, showcases the prowess of the Huracán Super Trofeo Evo2 across iconic circuits worldwide. The 2025 season promises to be particularly exhilarating, with events slated at renowned venues such as Sebring International Raceway and WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca.
