The Cars of Kavinsky: A Tribute to Vincent Belorgey [zLzE5q7ASUg]
On July 28, 2026, French synthwave lost its founding voice. Vincent Belorgey, known worldwide as Kavinsky, passed away, and with him went the man who put a Ferrari Testarossa on the OutRun album cover, put an 80s zombie DJ backstory into the lore of a music genre, and put Nightcall into the opening credits of Drive. In this tribute, drivvly walks through the cars that defined his sound — the machines behind the music, the Testarossa he built his aesthetic around car by car, and the real cars of Vincent Belorgey. We cover the Ferrari Testarossa's 4.9-liter flat-12, its side strakes, and why Ferrari built more than 7,000 of them. We trace Nightcall from a 2010 single to the opening credits of Nicolas Winding Refn's Drive, and the primer-gray 1973 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu that Ryan Gosling drove in that film. We look at the 1986 Sega OutRun arcade game that named his debut album, the neon-and-palm-tree world he created, and what he actually drove in real life. This is a warm, respectful legacy piece about an artist who gave car people a soundtrack and gave music people a Ferrari. Share your favorite Kavinsky track and the car it brings to mind in the comments. Rest easy, Vincent. Sources : 1. CNN — 2. Rolling Stone — 1235600260/ 3. Variety — 1236823180/ 4.
