THE MARMON WASP

The Marmon Wasp Engineers

Discover their involvement in the Marmon Wasp replica build.

Building the Team.

Meet the Marmon Wasp Engineers — a first-of-its-kind group that is committed to exemplifying the spirit of innovation that defines Marmon.

Handpicked from over 30,000 employees, the Marmon Wasp Engineers were assembled to reconstruct a replica Marmon Wasp, the car that won the first Indianapolis 500 in 1911. The team, which represents five of Marmon’s eleven industry groups, embodies our competitive spirit and innovative mindset.

Partnering with Experts.

While the original Marmon Wasp resides safely in the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum, a meticulously crafted replica was constructed in 2011, by Corky Coker, renowned vintage car expert and historical automotive enthusiast.

Upon learning about this historically accurate replica, an idea ignited within us—to create our own version of the iconic Marmon Wasp and revive the triumph of this champion for the newest generation of Marmon engineers.

Recreating an Icon.

In 2023, the Marmon Wasp Engineers visited the Honest Charley Garage in Chattanooga, Tennessee, where the existing replica Marmon Wasp resides. Under the guidance of Corky and his team, the Marmon Wasp Engineers contributed to the build of our new replica.

This Marmon Wasp is set to be completed in the Summer of 2024, and we have big plans to put it to use.
