Victory by Design is a series of documentary films on the subject of famous racing automobile marques produced in the 1990s and 2000s. The series began as a single film focused on Porsche, directed by award winning film-maker Tony Maylam, executive produced by Clive Pullan and hosted by former racing driver, Alain de Cadenet. Commissioned by cable channel Speedvision, the US channel commissioned a follow up documentary on Ferrari.
More specials, focused on Maserati, Jaguar, Alfa Romeo, Aston Martin, Lotus, Corvette, “Ford Muscle” (primarily covering the Ford-powered Shelby Cobra, Shelby-built high-performance Mustangs, and the GT40), and “Grand Prix Greats” were ordered by Speedvision’s successor, the Fox-owned cable channel, Speed Channel. The “Grand Prix Greats” episode is notable in that instead of a single manufacturer, it covers various notable Formula One cars from 1908 to 1960, including Renault, Lancia, and the Cooper Car Company. The series has been consistently popular on the channel and also in the DVD market. Victory by Design announced that they will do a special on American Motors Corporation soon, featuring the Eagle SX/4, AMX, Rebel Machine, and many more.
