  • ADESA Partners with Fiat Chrysler Automobiles to Pilot Next Evolution of Simulcast Sale
    PRESS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE ADESA Partners with Fiat Chrysler Automobiles to Pilot Next Evolution of Simulcast Sale Hosts Exclusive Livestreaming Sale from Four Locations as Part of FCA Inaugural CPOV Meeting CARMEL, Ind. – September 19, 2019 – ADESA, a business unit of global automotive remarketing and technology solutions provider KAR Auction Services Inc. (NYSE: KAR), partnered with Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) to pilot an ADESA Simulcast sale outside of the physical auction sale-day environment. As part of FCA’s inaugural national CPOV (certified preowned vehicle) dealer meeting, vehicles were launched into auction from four ADESA auction locations — ADESA Golden Gate, ADESA Indianapolis, ADESA Kansas City and ADESA Las Vegas. FCA CPO dealers attending the event were able to participate in fast, live bidding action. “We were extremely pleased to work with our strong partners at FCA to demonstrate the powerful potential of ADESA Simulcast to this sophisticated and tech savvy group of dealers,” said John Hammer, ADESA president. “ADESA Simulcast allows us to bring the auction right to our dealers — exposing sellers to a broader buyer base and helping buyers access the hard-to- find inventory they need. We were honored to pilot this with FCA and to add to the excitement and energy of their annual meeting.” Launched earlier this year, ADESA Simulcast is a cloud-based auction solution that allows dealers to participate virtually in multiple in-lane sales occurring in any location. As part of ADESA Simulcast, participating dealers can easily access detailed condition reports, photos, valuation tools and transportation options for purchased vehicles. The FCA sale was the first use of the technology to launch from multiple sites in a non-sale-day environment to a defined, exclusive group of dealers.

    .PRESTIGE .ENERGY .ELEGANCE .HERITAGE .PASSION the Idea Zagato’s Tribute to IsoRivolta is dedicated to the glorious model Grifo A3 Corsa and intends to reawaken this track car that was successful in the races in the 60’s, matching perfectly with the centenary Zagato DNA. the History In the early 1950s Iso had already an established strong reputation in lightweight motorcycles and motorscooters. Then founder Renzo Rivolta decided to enter into the GT cars world. After incredible success at Italy’s famed 1000-mile Mille Miglia race with Isetta winning the trophy from 1953 to 1955, IsoRivolta returned to competition in the 1960s to promote its GT cars. The most famous racer was the Grifo A3 Corsa. Its coachwork was much more radical than its street counterparts, with an engine set so far back in the bay that it was a true front mid-engine design. This model participated in races all over the world including Sebring, Reims, Montlhery, Monza, Spa and the Austrian Grand Prix, among others and won in its class at Le Mans in 1964 and 1965. In 1965 the street legal version of A3/C was designed and made by IsoRivolta having Johnny Hallyday as a very special Client. the Inspirational design The Grifo A3/C is a bare bones racecar, with a highly sensuous form language, subsequently used on other famous cars.

  • CORROZZERIA ZAGATO: CARS of the "LIGHTNING Z" HONORED at the 19TH ANNUAL AMELIA CONCOURS D'elegance"
    Event Information Tickets Visitors Guide Charity Sponsors News & Media Gall ery CORROZZERIA ZAGATO: CARS OF THE "LIGHTNING Z" HONORED AT THE 19TH ANNUAL AMELIA CONCOURS d'ELEGANCE" Photo by Michael Furman The cars wearing Zagato's "lightning Z" badge have become classics and icons. On March 9, 2014 the 19th annual Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance will honor the brilliance and creativity of Ugo Zagato and his heirs with a class of Zagato-bodied cars from the likes of Ferrari, Maserati, Bugatti, Alfa Romeo, Abarth, Hispano-Suiza, FIAT, Rolls-Royce, Lancia, Lamborghini, MG, Bentley, Porsche, Spyker and even British supercar builder Aston Martin, for whom Zagato created their masterpiece, the landmark DB4 GT Zagato. "The most beautiful car is the one that wins," said Enzo Ferrari. As leader of Alfa Romeo's racing department during the 1930s, Enzo Ferrari saw fleets of Alfa Romeo racers wearing Zagato's functional and beautiful coachwork win scores of legendary road races. Sons Elio and Gianni Zagato instantly grasped their father's elegant and simple philosophy; "When we design and build something functional, it is always beautiful." Ugo Zagato signed his work with justifiable pride. His "lightning Z" badge still rides on the flanks of many of the world's most exotic, desirable, successful, beautiful and fast cars. Zagato coachwork cloaked the first Formula 1 World Champions in 1950. They wore the winners' laurels in Enzo Ferrari's favorite race, the brutal and grueling Mille Miglia, where Zagato-bodied cars earned their global reputation from the very first "1000 miles" in 1927. It began in 1919 when founder Ugo Zagato applied aircraft construction techniques to the design and creation of automobile bodies.

  • FCA-PSA Merger
    Alert FCA-PSA Merger 1 November 2019 Executive Summary • Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) and Groupe PSA have announced that they are working together towards creating one of the world’s largest automotive groups, with the aim of reaching a binding agreement in coming weeks. • The new entity would see global scale and resources owned 50% by Groupe PSA shareholders and 50% by FCA shareholders, with Carlos Tavares the merged group’s CEO. • This news follows on from the breakdown in merger discussions between FCA and Renault earlier this year. • LMC Automotive believes that there is a strong business case for such a consolidation; this latest merger announcement once again highlighting the cost pressures faced by the industry. • The high R&D expenditure relating to platform development, electrification, and other technologies, is expected to remain a drag on industry profitability over the course of the next decade, and further consolidation is likely. • A combined FCA-PSA group would become the fourth-largest OEM globally, with an annual production volume exceeding 8 million Light Vehicles per year. On that basis, it would surpass Hyundai Group, General Motors, Ford and Honda. • In Europe, the new group would challenge Volkswagen Group as the region’s number one OEM in sales volumes terms; however, in the world’s single largest vehicle market, China, FCA and PSA have both struggled to gain a footing, which this tie-up would not readily resolve. • Assuming a binding agreement is reached to create a new automotive giant, there remain significant execution risks associated with combining two sizeable entities. © 2019 LMC Automotive Limited, All Rights Reserved.
