Why St. Moritz is much more than just a photo backdrop for ASPHALTKIND
St. Moritz is the perfect match for supercars.
Snow. Mountains. Passes. Hotels. An international car culture.
Naturally, it yields striking imagery.
However, St. Moritz has since become significant for ASPHALTKIND for another reason.
We actually drive the vehicles there.
With Lamborghinis.
With Ferraris.
With McLarens.
And with a roof box.
For this exact reason, this location explains our concept of travel performance better than almost any product description.
Ferrari 296 GTB in the snow
A Ferrari 296 GTB in wintery St. Moritz is already unusual.
With an ASPHALTKIND performance roof box, the combination becomes even more striking.
However, the decisive factor for us was not how good the car looks in a photo.
The roof box was actively used during the trip.
It was opened.
Luggage was transported.
And the Ferrari was part of genuine winter road traffic.
This exact utilization is proof to us that a performance roof box can be more than just a showpiece.
McLaren Artura: Vacuum mounts, luggage, and the Swiss Alps
The McLaren Artura highlights another facet of our work.
The vehicle does not feature conventional roof rails.
Therefore, we utilize an alternative mounting solution.
A vacuum carrier system was deployed on the Artura.
Mount the system, attach the roof box, stow the luggage, and hit the road.
After the trip, the system can be removed again.
Additional storage space when needed – and a clean McLaren when it is not.
Lamborghini Aventador: From Como into the Alps
The Aventador bridges two ASPHALTKIND worlds particularly well.
On the one hand, the Italian road trip ethos around Lake Como.
On the other hand, the snow-covered alpine environment of St. Moritz.
A V12 Lamborghini is hardly the most sensible choice for either journey.
Yet that is precisely what makes it the more compelling one.
When the luggage finds its place on the roof, the SUV loses one of its strongest arguments.
The journey becomes part of the vacation.
Lamborghini Huracán: Supercar instead of winter SUV
The Huracán has also taken to the snow equipped with an ASPHALTKIND roof box.
At first glance, the combination appears contradictory.
That is precisely what makes it so powerful.
A low-slung V10 supercar on snow-covered alpine roads demonstrates that travel performance does not mean turning a car into something sensible.
It means eliminating a practical reason against driving the car.
Insufficient storage capacity.
What all these vehicles have in common
Ferrari 296 GTB, McLaren Artura, Lamborghini Aventador, and Huracán differ significantly from a technical standpoint.
However, the challenge when traveling remains similar.
Two occupants.
Several days.
Winter apparel.
Bags.
Perhaps skis or additional equipment.
In such cases, the factory luggage capacity is quickly exhausted.
Our performance roof box provides approximately 400 liters of additional volume.
This doesn't change the car. It changes how often you can use it for traveling.
St. Moritz as a real-world testing ground
For us, the alpine environment is therefore of practical relevance.
Temperature fluctuations, winter conditions, extended transit times, and varied road surfaces reveal more than any studio ever could.
Naturally, such trips do not replace formal technical inspections.
However, they provide us with real-world experience.
How quickly can a system be mounted?
How convenient is the loading process?
What details become cumbersome in daily use?
And which configuration truly complements the vehicle's aesthetics?
It is precisely from trips like these that the next product improvements emerge.
Travel Performance means taking the right car.
ASPHALTKIND does not sell the illusion that a supercar suddenly becomes sensible.
That would be boring.
We simply aim to eliminate one more reason why people choose not to take their special car on a trip.
When the luggage fits, the Ferrari can go.
The Lamborghini.
The McLaren.
Or the GT3 RS.
St. Moritz does not begin in front of the hotel, but on the first great stretch of road leading there.
