About Bruno Maia
Bruno started at Top Speed in 2022 and now serves as Senior Editor for ICE while also training writers across CarBuzz, HotCars, and TopSpeed. A car and motorcycle enthusiast, he enjoys writing about and following what’s happening in the industry. With a Master’s degree in Business, Bruno found fulfillment in creating and editing…
He's excited about the electrified future, but if given a choice, he'd still prefer to burn things such as Diesel, Gas, or Ethanol. Bruno is easy and friendly, and known to drop the bass on occasion.
Favorite Car
There are a few, but back in the day, Bruno owned a RWD Opel Omega with a 3.0-liter inline-six that was smooth as butter and had an intoxicating exhaust note. The engine was happy to rev high, and Bruno would oblige as often as possible.
With a five-speed manual transmission, the car was simply perfect for his needs at the time. This one left a long-lasting mark in Bruno's heart.
Industry Focus
Anything automotive draws Bruno's attention, but mainstream models have a more practical appeal. Old is gold, and some muscle cars of ages past get his juices flowing. But as Bruno got older, now a proud family man, he tends to prefer the practicality and safety of modern vehicles.
And since following up with the latest news in the industry is one of his passions, it's only natural he'd be a little biased toward all the new, good stuff.
Author Details
Bruno started working as a content writer for TopSpeed in 2022 and hasn't stopped since. Over time, he's been lucky and privileged enough to work in different areas of the business. Today, he's tasked with helping train new writers for Valnet's auto brands, namely CarBuzz, HotCars, and TopSpeed, as well as being the editor for ICE projects (Internal Combustion Engines) within TopSpeed.
