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.

  • 2017 Pebble Beach Concours D'elegance Poster
    Event Calendar | Shop Tickets | Visitor's Guide We're excited to unveil the posters for the 2017 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, as well as the Tour d'Elegance and RetroAuto. Ferrari celebrates its 70th Anniversary at Pebble Beach this year, so not one but two of our posters feature prancing horses. The third poster focuses on our prewar featured marque, Isotta Fraschini. Below we share the history of the magnificent automobiles that our talented artists have depicted. We thank Barry Rowe & Tim Layzell for their fantastic work. 2017 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance Poster Artist: Barry Rowe Car: 1951 Ferrari 212 Export Touring Barchetta Initial Sketch Poster Art Final Poster The 2017 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance poster, painted by distinguished automotive artist Barry Rowe, portrays a car that is quintessentially Ferrari— offering the best of both road and race capabilities. Illustrated on the poster, a 1951 Ferrari 212 Export Touring Barchetta (chassis 0102 E) graces the competition field early one significant Sunday morning in August. The car’s first owner, Pietro Palmieri, raced it in the Giro Delle Calabrie and the Coppa Adriatica finishing first in class and a 2nd and 4th overall. It was later loaned to and raced by Bobby Baird, leading to another class win at the RAC’s famed Tourist Trophy race in Dundrod, Ireland. The Barchetta is perhaps most­known for its appearance in the movie “The Racers,” produced by Twentieth Century­Fox in 1955 and starring Kirk Douglas. It is said that the movie’s producer, Henry Hathaway, approached Enzo Ferrari for the loan of some cars for the movie, but Enzo said “no.” Fox studios then approached Phil Hill, who helped to broker the sale of three Ferraris.

    NEWS RELEASE Aston Martin Vantage V12 Zagato Heritage TWINS by R-Reforged confirms specification and UK production Full details and specification revealed for limited production thoroughbred celebrating Zagato’s centenary Licenced by Aston Martin, production of the Aston Martin Vantage V12 Zagato Heritage TWINS by R-Reforged will now take place at R-Reforged’s new UK facility in Warwick Download image gallery here Bespoke automotive manufacturer R-Reforged has announced plans to produce its Aston Martin Vantage V12 Zagato Heritage TWINS by R-Reforged in-house at its new facility in Warwick. R-Reforged will now hand build the 38 Coupé and Speedster TWINS that celebrate the centenary of the Zagato Atelier (1919-2019) and 60-year long partnership between the Milanese ‘Signature’ and British sports car manufacturer. Offered solely in pairs to just 19 customers (with the majority already sold), the sculpted Aston Martin Vantage V12 Zagato Heritage TWINS by R-Reforged were created by Zagato and R-Reforged to combine the best of two automotive worlds: a sporting Speedster in its purest form and a timeless Coupé, redefining the 2011 Aston Martin Vantage V12 Zagato. Each features iconic Zagato design cues synonymous with the Carrozzeria, notably the ‘double bubble’ roof on the Coupé and, exclusively, the 100th anniversary gold Z badging. Now derived from the later V12 Vantage S, the 19 Coupés and 19 Speedsters feature a reworked version of its 5.9 litre 48 valve, naturally aspirated engine to produce 600bhp (85bhp more than the original). Clothed in an all-carbon fibre body, both incorporate an active aero and deployable rear wing to improve stability at high speeds whilst maintaining the clean surfaces and pure lines of the Zagato design.

  • Date: 29 July 2014 Maserati Centennial Exhibition Open Throughout
    Date: 29 July 2014 Maserati centennial exhibition open throughout the summer A unique exhibition in terms of the quality of the models on show, like the only remaining V4 16 cylinder and the A6 1500 of 1947, Maserati’s first road-going car. It’s held at the MEF, the Museo Enzo Ferrari, which “looks at” the Maserati headquarters in Viale Ciro Menotti, Modena and which also exhibits extraordinary Ferraris and Alfa Romeos. A month on from the opening of the exhibition dedicated to the Maserati centennial, MASERATI 100 - A Century of Pure Italian Luxury Sports Cars , the initial response from the public has been highly positive, with nearly 20,000 visitors. The celebration of a century of history for a car manufacturer allows the public to relive the story of an epoch and thrill, as they observe the course of events and unfolding of technological progress both through the cars on display and a film that stirs the passion of visitors with no fewer than 19 different projectors. Through anecdotes, curiosities, stories of exceptional men, rare and prestigious vehicles, also due to their current financial value. Visitors have the opportunity – unique, rather than rare – to admire the only Maserati Tipo V4 Sport 16 cylinderstill remaining in the world. In 1929 Alfieri Maserati twinned two 2-litre engines from the Tipo 26 in a single crankcase, with the two crankshafts linked by gears. On 28th September of the same year in Cremona, Baconin Borzacchini set the World Record for the Flying 10 Kilometres with the Tipo V4, at an average speed of 246.069 km/h.

The SDE, or Stylistic Design Engineering, is a structured engineering method for carrying out automotive design projects. The SDE method consists of six different phases: (1) Analysis of stylistic trends; (2) Sketches; (3) 2D Computer Aided Design (CAD) drawings; (4) 3D CAD models; (5) Rendering; (6) Solid stylistic model (also called style maquette). This project deals with the external redesign of the Fiat 600 multiple, a small minivan which was very successful in the 1950s and 1960s. SDE is a methodology consisting of various technologies and design methodologies that will be further explained in detail, such as the Pininfarina method, the Quality Function Deployment (QFD) method, Benchmarking (BM), and Top Flop Analysis (TPA). The work was organized according to the different phases. Initially, the Fiat style was studied, in particular the style of the FIAT 600 MULTI PURPOUSE VEHICLE (MPV).

  • Abarth Record Monza
    ABARTH RECORD MONZA History Carlo Abarth always demonstrated an acute understanding of the preferences of the enthusiastic, predominantly younger, Italian motorist. On March 12, 1955, the Fiat Group had launched its 600 utility saloon car model at the Geneva Salon. The model became a key to the Turin company's burgeoning postwar success. The 600 had been conceived by designer Dante Giacosa – an old associate of Carlo Abarth's from the Cisitalia days – and it had been intended to replace the little Fiat Cinque-Cento (500) as a four-seat, rear-engined economy saloon car, assembled around an integral bodyshell that was compact and light yet spacious. Fiat would produce almost 2.7-million of them over the following 15 years, and the Abarth company grew upon its remarkable capability to develop and market a highly-successful series of 'go faster' modifications for the model. Abarth enlarged the basic Fiat engine's bore from 60mm to 61mm, and its stroke from 56mm to 64. Crankshaft, camshaft, pistons, valves and valve-springs were replaced and uprated, as was the sump. Under such attention the engine grew from 633cc displacement to 747cc. A Weber carburettor and manifolding improved the little power unit's breathing. An Abarth free-flow exhaust system enhanced output – and (always an important consideration to the youthful Italian male) the noise the engine made. The new Fiat Abarth 750 engine suddenly offered 41.5bhp at 5,500rpm against the Fiat original's modest 21.5bhp at a busier 4,600rpm. Initially the standard integral body was retained and within Italy the Fiat Abarth became as iconic a go-faster car as the Mini-Cooper would become in the UK.

  • Pininfarina Extra
    LUISS TEACHING CASES Brand Development through Brand Extension and Licensing: Pininfarina Extra Marco Francesco Mazzù Luiss Guido Carli In collaboration with Pininfarina Management TEACHING CASES 2020 ISBN 978-88-6105-533-9 Introduction Year 2012 started as a key defining moment for Pininfarina Group and its future. In the eyes of the management team, the last five years have been full of hitches. A lot of personal energies have been dedicated to guide the organization through a set of diverse and serious challenges: years between 2007 and 2011 were characterized by the Global crisis of the Automotive sector, main historical focus of the group; some investments in partnership with major OEM did not reach the expected pay-off; the group has been forced to rethink its historical focus of activities, and, even more important, the dramatic death of Andrea in 2008, CEO of the Group at that time, forced an unexpected and unplanned change in leadership an internal governance, including the entrance of the first external members to Pininfarina’s family in top management position. Despite con- tinuing to succeed with its image in the market, as testified by winning several international “best designer” awards1, a strong bank intervention has been needed to guarantee company con- tinuity, and sales were not coping up with the expected level to support future growth. In addition, some of the core activities have been divested. It has been clear to the management, that the historical company focus, and the Automotive mar- ket was not anymore enough to support a healthy outlook. Something more should also be done to develop other “internal jewels” of the company as Pininfarina Extra (PFE), founded in 1986, and focused on bringing the company’s design culture and comprehension of modern life, culture and social paradigms to other categories of industrial design.
