Fu nell’oc- casione del ritrovamento di questo nucleo di disegni che i partecipanti al progetto si proposero di applicare il metodo impiegato nel predisporre il materiale raccolto nel libro FIAT, storie di innovazione tecnologica nelle automobili, anche per preparare un libro analogo dedicato alle automobili Lancia. Questo secondo libro, attraverso l’esame dei disegni tecnici, del materiale d’archivio e delle fotografie di automobili sopravvissute, illustra l’evoluzione delle vetture Lancia e i loro contenuti innovativi, spesso caratterizzati da elementi di assoluta originalità. Il reperimento del materiale si è mostrato, tuttavia, più arduo rispetto al lavoro sulle vetture FIAT, almeno per le automobili più anziane, poiché l’archivio dei disegni Lancia era organizzato senza impiegare una struttura logica di supporto, per distinguere agevolmente i diversi gruppi funzionali dai particolari di puro dettaglio.

  • 2014 Padova BORRANI ENG
    Ruote Borrani helps owners of classic cars and motorbikes preserve authenticity as market values keep steadily rising. PADOVA, 23rd October 2014. • At Auto e Moto d’Epoca, Borrani focuses on the wire wheel kit for the highly demanded Alfa Romeo 2000 Spyder Touring • A striking set of Rudge Sport with tubular steel rim equips one of the sportiest pre- war Alfas, the 6C2300 MM Touring • The aggressive Triumph Trident 750 Koelliker benefits from Ruote Borrani Record/11 with reinforced rim for racing. At the 31st Auto e Moto d'Epoca show in Padua from 23rd to 26th October the wire wheel manufacturer Ruote Borrani showcases its range of classic wheels for cars and motorbikes. Wheels are made by hand strictly following the 8000+ original blueprints guarded in the company archives since 1923. Many of the valuable cars and motorbikes exhibited at the Padua show were fitted with Ruote Borrani as original equipment when first produced. Now that classic car values reach top heights, with HAGI © Top Index at all time high in September listing a staggering +163% growth in the last 6 years, owners find out that authentic refurbishment or replacement of their Borranis generates premium value in transactions, whilst inappropriate wheels cost precious points in Concours d'Elégance. As usual, Borrani wire wheels on show are fitted on extraordinary cars and bikes. Borrani RW3906 1959 Alfa Romeo 2000 spyder Touring The "Record" RW3906 on booth are fitted on the Alfa Romeo 2000 Spyder with Touring Superleggera coachwork: the last production Alfa to specify Borrani wire wheels as manufacturer’s option.

  • The Legend Returns Gran Turismo Alleggerita the History of a Legend
    THE LEGEND RETURNS GRAN TURISMO ALLEGGERITA THE HISTORY OF A LEGEND It all began in 1965, with the presentation of the Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GTA. Steel turned into aluminium, glass windows and rear window into Based on the GT with bodywork by Bertone, launched two years earlier, the plexiglass, interiors stripped of everything superfluous... and weight GTA was inspired by two key ambitions: more power and, above all, less weight. passing from the Sprint GT’s 900kg to the GTA’s 745kg. The 1570 cc engine generated 115 HP, and a maximum speed of 185 Km/h. The Giulia GTA became one of the fastest and most successful cars on the racetracks. In 1968 Alfa Romeo decides to extend GTA options, also creating a lower displacement version. This led to the birth of the Giulia GTA 1300 Junior, derived from the GT 1300 Junior, sharing the same four- cylinder 1290 cc engine. It borrowed several sporting solutions from the GTA 1600, such as the double-barrel carburettor and twin-spark ignition. The GTA 1300 Junior experienced years of sporting triumphs at national and international levels, before concluding its competitive career in the mid-1970s. In 1970 the Giulia GTA project evolved still further, to respond to increasingly fierce competition and to continue winning the Tourism Championship. So Alfa Romeo created the Giulia GT Am, featuring a Spica indirect injection system. Roughly 40 exemplars of this fierce racing car were produced. Thanks to its aluminium doors, super lightweight interiors and a 2-litre engine delivering up to 240 HP, the Giulia GT Am dominated the 1971 European Tourism Championship, in addition to conquering numerous triumphs in Italy and worldwide.

  • Alfa Romeo Racing ORLEN Unveils
    Contact: Ariel Gavilan Ron Kiino Alfa Romeo Racing ORLEN Formula One Team Unveils the New C41 February 22, 2021, Auburn Hills, Mich. - A ceremony in the Grand Theatre in Warsaw, Poland, saw the attendance of a limited number of senior personnel from the Alfa Romeo Racing ORLEN Formula One team – with media, fans and employees being invited to watch virtually in respect of the local COVID-19 regulations. Team drivers Kimi Räikkönen and Antonio Giovinazzi and reserve driver Robert Kubica entered the stage as the C41, in a striking new livery, was shown for the first time. Featuring a new color scheme designed by Alfa Romeo’s Centro Stile and featuring the now traditional red and white colors of the team, the car, designed under the coordination of Technical Director Jan Monchaux, represents an evolution of the C39 that competed in the 2020 season. Owing to the restrictions imposed by the regulations, the car carries over many of the components of its predecessor, while still standing out with its renewed appearance, in particular in regard to the nosecone, an area on which the team chose to focus its development tokens. Under the bodywork lies a new Ferrari engine, ready to rev in less than a week when the team embarks on a new season with the C41’s shakedown in Barcelona on Friday. The Alfa Romeo logo is flanked by the Quadrifoglio (four-leaf clover) traditionally associated with Alfa Romeo’s racing efforts, and the logo of Autodelta, the brand’s legendary racing team. These logos adorn the bodywork, contributing to the creation of one of the standout cars on the grid – a classic design that embodies the passion and tradition of the marques it represents.

  • Some Interesting Facts About Borrani Wheels for You
    Some interesting facts about Borrani Wheels for you. Carlo Borrani was actually born in Calfornia but started up a new company with a partner in Milan using the patented Rudge-Whitworth design of a tapered splined hub to which a tapered wheel's centre could swiftly be fitted and locked into position by means of a single wheel nut or a knockoff. As you know, one uses a suitable hammer to tighten or loosen the knock-off. Over the years Borrani made spoke wheels for bicycles, motorcycles and cars. Magnesium alloy wheels were added to their portfolio to remain competitive. During the dictatorship of Mussolini, it was decreed that all names of companies bearing an English name be purged and the company obliged giving the name: Ruota Borrani - Milano. (Ruota is Italian for wheel). For a brief spell the company was required to make aircraft wheels, shock absorbers, brakes and fuel pumps during the war up to the time they signed the Armistice with the Allies in 1943. Borrani built up an impressive customer base. Ferrari, Maserati, Alfa Romeo, Aston Martin, Lamborghini and Ford. Interestingly, Carlo never drove a car, preferring to be chauffeured. I wonder if there any Triumphs out there kitted out with Borrani wheels? Well, in fact you can buy them, I have searched their website and for a set of four TR6 wire wheels, expect to pay 6604.80 Pound plus 835.20 for a set of four spinners!!! In case you were wondering about the red hand on the badge, that is a salute to Rudge-Whitworth's origins; look out for the headstock on one of their early bicycles and the chain ring for that matter - The Red Hand of Ulster, Northern Ireland.

  • The Ex Adrea De Cesaris 1982 Alfa Romeo
    ! The Ex-Adrea de Cesaris 1982 Alfa Romeo 182 Chassis No. N182/1 • A genuine Works ‘ground effect’ Alfa Romeo Grand Prix car, carrying arguably the most iconic of all racing liveries. • One of the first Formula 1 cars to utilise the strength advantages of a fully carbon fibre tub. • Driven to pole position at the 1982 Long Beach Grand Prix by Andrea de Cesaris. • In its current ownership for the last 15 years and the previous for 10 years before that. • Wonderfully original and a highly desirable and blue chip entry to the popular world of Historic F1. Alfa Romeo returned to Formula 1 in 1979 after a 28 year sabbatical with the 177 which was designed and built under Carlo Chiti at Autodelta. Soon the 177 was replaced with the much improved 179 which gained the backing of cigarette giant Marlboro. The 179 was developed over a period of three seasons, which included flashes of promise such as a pair of pole positions and Bruno Giacomelli and 2nd at the 1980 Australian Grand Prix. Hungry to push forward and in a bid to do better, Alfa Romeo gained the services of Ligier designer Gérard Ducarouge in 1981 and the 182 was bourn. T. + 44 (0)1285 831 488 E. [email protected] www.williamianson.com ! Ducarouge persuaded the Turinese team to embrace carbon fibre technology in the production of its 1982 chassis, the 182 and at the beginning of the 1982 season only Alfa Romeo and McLaren were capitalising on the advantages of using carbon fibre. The monocoque’s design was largely similar to the aluminium 179, but instead was constructed entirely in carbon fibre by Advanced Composites in Derby, England.
