Carlos Carlotta is the latest in a long line of car enthusiasts. Both his grandfather and his father were into cars, so he says it was obvious he would end up following in their footsteps. With a love for show cars and custom setups, his 2016 Infiniti Q50S Red Sport has been outfitted with a one-of-a-kind trunk setup, and the rest of the car has been treated to numerous modifications as he chases his dream build.
