In the old days, cars were designed pretty much on paper or on the floor of the garage with no wind tunnels. The stock Cobra could not achieve the top speed on straights of the Ferrari GTO because it had a large frontal area and was sort of like a brick. so, at tracks like LeMans, Daytona, and spa the GTO could outrun the Cobra because its terminal velocity was about 20 percent better than that of the Cobra. Carroll shelby asked Pete Brock to design an aerodynamic coupe body, which he did freehand on paper. It came out as a beautiful coupe with incredible aerodynamic properties due to its long hood and rear spoiler.

  • 15 Questions to Matthias Hinz and Michael Maasmeier of SCUDERIA AZZURRA
    15 questions to Matthias Hinz and Michael Maasmeier of SCUDERIA AZZURRA Please introduce yourselves and your company. What is your company’s field of expertise? Maasmeier: My partners Matthias Hinz and Lukas Mühlemann are passionate classic car lovers – just like me. We have been collecting classic cars for decades. This passion for classic cars has brought us together, regardless of national borders. We have long been looking for the perfect restoration, but our expectations remained unfulfilled. Eventually, we decided to take matters into our own hands and founded SCUDERIA AZZURRA. We are offering classic Maserati, Alfa Romeo and Lancia on the international market. All cars have been restored in top condition exclusively by us in our own workshop. Using original components, we restore the cars completely, from car body, engine and gearboxes to technology. When did you fall for classic automobiles? Was there a key experience in your childhood/youth that turned you into a classic car lover? Hinz: I bought my first classic car, then a rather modern classic, at the age of 18. It was a 1968 VW Beetle Convertible. With the help of an alleged expert, I gained a first insight into car restoration. I discovered my passion for Italian sports cars in the early 90s. I read an article on a Lancia Flaminia Touring Coupé in a magazine for classic cars and it was love at first sight. I was so excited that I took the next opportunity and bought one in the US, without even looking at it beforehand. Maasmeier: My father was a true sports car fan and owned a Jaguar.

SPECTRE is out and Free Car Mag has seen it. The film is brilliant, not least because there are some excellent chase sequences. This is also one of the few films where you really want the baddies' car. I mean, a Jaguar C-X75 is very sexy and so incredibly rare and all those black bad boy Land Rover Defenders Just in case you don’t know the plot, a cryptic message from Bond’s past sends him on a trail to uncover a sinister organisation. While M battles political forces to keep the secret service alive, Bond peels back the layers of deceit to reveal the terrible truth behind SPECTRE. Then all hell breaks loose. Gunfire, tyre squeals, snappy dialogue, stunning set pieces and beautiful people. 4 Bond News Events Celebs My copy of 007 James Bond In Focus cost 3/6 in 1964 was a big 6 Daniel Craig and Sam Mendes disappointment when I read it many years later.

The company name is derived from the name of one of the company's founders, Lionel Martin, and from the Aston Hill speed hillclimb near Aston Clinton in Buckinghamshire From 1994 until 2007 Aston Martin was part of the Ford Motor Company, becoming part of the company's Premier Automotive Group in 2000. On 12 March 2007, it was purchased for £479 million (US$848 million) by a joint venture company, co-owned by Investment Dar and Adeem Investment of Kuwait and English businessman John Sinders.Ford retained a US$77 million stake in Aston Martin, valuing the company at US$925 million.

The two had joined forces as Bamford & Martin the previous year to sell cars made by Singer from premises in Callow Street, London where they also serviced GWK and Calthorpe vehicles. Martin raced specials at Aston Hill near Aston Clinton, and the pair decided to make their own vehicles. The first car to be named Aston Martin was created by Martin by fitting a four-cylinder Coventry-Simplex engine to the chassis of a 1908 Isotta-Fraschini.They acquired premises at Henniker Place in Kensington and produced their first car in March 1915.
