  • Date: 3 December 2008 Maserati at the Bologna Motorshow Under The
    Date: 3 December 2008 Maserati at the Bologna Motorshow under the flag of its sporty DNA The MC Sport Line customization program focuses on the racing vocation of the Maserati, fresh from its latest international triumph in the FIA GT championship with the duo Bertolini-Bartels in the land of Juan Manuel Fangio. Modena - December 3, 2008. Maserati has developed a special series of new options named "MC Sport Line", which makes its worldwide debut at the Bologna Motor Show, with new contents that add to Maserati's already extensive range of personalized features on offer. The MC Sport Line is designed to enhance the sporty DNA of Maserati vehicles for those customers who like to display their passion for racing through a dynamic look and a choice of technical solutions that increase the driving fun without compromises. The name "MC Sport Line" sums up the experience acquired on the track by the Maserati Corse department, whose contribution to the design of the functional components has been invaluable. The world of motor racing also inspired Maserati's designers when it came to styling, hence the extensive use of carbon fiber, very popular among racing enthusiasts thanks to its direct connection with racing competitions. The GranTurismo S, the ultimate expression of Maserati performance on roads, was the model chosen to present to the public the first proposals of the "MC Sport Line" catalogue, which will be extended in the GranTurismo range and then cover the entire Maserati line-up during the course of 2009. From early 2009, GranTurismo S customers will not only be able to enhance the sporty look of their vehicle's exterior and interior - but even offer mechanical solutions.

  • Ferrari70.Com 1997 / 2006
    1997 / 2006 Launch of the 355 F1, the first GT with electrohydraulic gearbox with 1997 F1-type steering wheel control Some cars, more than others, mark a great technological leap forward, drawing liberally from the best possible research and performance lab: Formula 1. This was the case with the Ferrari 355 F1 Berlinetta. The car, unveiled at the 1997 Frankfurt Motor Show, was directly derived from the F355 Berlinetta, a small sedan - introduced in 1994 - driven by an 8-cylinder rear longitudinal engine and marked by a soft and compact line, continuing the tradition that had garnered so much success with the previous 308, 328 and 348 models. However, the technological content of the 355 F1 was vastly more advanced than its predecessors, having been tried and tested in Formula 1. We only have to consider the aerodynamics, the subject of detailed studies by Pininfarina, which not only determined the style and shape of the aluminium and steel body, but also the design of the flat bottom to achieve a perfect balance of vertical loads. Indeed, the F355 Berlinetta was the first car with a shape that optimised the disposal and control of the air flows in the underbody, ensuring a constant interaction between the vehicle and the ground to the advantage of road holding. The engine itself was the subject of study and transfer of technology from the track, providing the F355 with extremely high performance: 109 hp/litre. Specific power and torque were the result of the adoption of a head with five valves per cylinder and electronic fuel injection.

  • FIAT the 1999 Marks a Significant Anniversary: Fiat's Centenary. to Celebrate the Anniversary Pininfarina Played an Active Part
    FIAT The 1999 marks a significant anniversary: Fiat's Centenary. To celebrate the anniversary Pininfarina played an active part in the project organized by Italian Coachbuilders, displaying 70 of the cars that best represent the historic relationship with the Fiat Company on two of Turin's most beautiful squares, in July 1999. Pininfarina also intended to pay homage to Fiat realizing Wish a research prototype built on the mechanical of the new Fiat Punto. In the life of people and companies stories often intertwine to form a tightly woven fabric that is only strengthened by the passage of time and that shared work and mutual respect help to keep unaltered from generation to generation. That is the case of Fiat and Pininfarina, that have been travelling companions in realizing cars thought as aesthetic and industrial objects result of creativity and technology. The little company FIAT, set up in 1899 thanks to an act of faith towards the future by Giovanni Agnelli and a small group of pioneers, has developed into a significant international presence. For its part Pininfarina, which was established by Battista Farina, known as Pinin, in 1930 as a craftsman coachbuilder, has been transformed over the years into a diversified complex which stands at the cutting edge of design, technology, and engineering. The relationship between Pininfarina and Fiat actually started long before the foundation in 1930 of Carrozzeria Anonima Pinin Farina. Born in 1893, Pinin started working as a boy in the Stabilimenti Farina owned by his brother Giovanni, who was called in to co-operate with the Fiat, managed by Senator Giovanni Agnelli, when the was working on a new car, the Zero, the progenitor of all the utility cars.
