Thus the Reventón has become an item of automobile design 'haute couture’, as well as standing out for its absolute dynamism and suitability for daily use. The case history of the Reventón confirms the ability of Lamborghini to exploit the design experience that lies at the foundations of the company's history. Since its establishment, the Lamborghini trademark has been internationally recognised as a symbol of design and Italian style throughout the world. “Creativity and exceptional performance is Lamborghini’s expression of the perfect synthesis between stylistic art and technical engineering, that continues to characterise the company’s success and highlights the power of its 'Made in Italy’ design,” commented Stephan Winkelmann. “Lamborghini is privileged to take part in the Turin World Design Capital event,” continued Winkelmann. “On one hand there is the satisfaction that the automotive world is called to compare with the new parameters we have been able to set ourselves: on the other we are honoured to be here today, at the Turin Lingotto, part of the industrial history of our country and now one of the greatest symbols of Italian design.” Automobili Lamborghini continues to pursue innovation, backed by a stringent Research and Development investment policy, committing an average annual investment equivalent to 8.5% of its turnover from the 2004-2007 period. The event forms part of the calendar for the Torino 2008 World Design Capital In the 2008, Torino is also the first World Design Capital.

  • Alfa Romeo Giulia Brochure
    Giulia Ti Sport shown in Montecarlo Blue Metallic. 2014 1965 1932 1910 1967 1938 1929 Drawing on a very rich history It is a badge born over 100 years ago that still stands for something original today: a passion for motoring unlike any other. The DNA of one of the world’s most highly regarded brands runs deeper than the enamel of its badge. With each racetrack win, and each milestone along the way, its reverence has only grown. In 1962, the legendary Alfa Romeo Giulia sedan dared to bring track-worthy technology to the street. By combining an ultra-powerful engine with a lightweight body, it forever revolutionized the sports sedan. Alfa Romeo has always taken a unique and innovative approach to designing automobiles; it is the point of convergence between design and passion, between a love for the most cutting-edge technology and a strong instinct to inspire emotions. With Giulia, Alfa Romeo writes another chapter in its history where, once again, the driver is at the center of the design. The stopwatch doesn’t lie It is a 12.9-mile-long serpent that has broken the hearts of even the most courageous racers. With a 1,000-foot elevation change from its lowest to highest point, the deceptively picturesque Nürburgring in Germany’s Eifel Mountains has long served as the ultimate test for the spirit of man and machine alike. A track record here takes more than an extended right leg — it takes everything an engineer, designer and dreamer can incorporate into the art of motoring itself.
