Fu nell’oc- casione del ritrovamento di questo nucleo di disegni che i partecipanti al progetto si proposero di applicare il metodo impiegato nel predisporre il materiale raccolto nel libro FIAT, storie di innovazione tecnologica nelle automobili, anche per preparare un libro analogo dedicato alle automobili Lancia. Questo secondo libro, attraverso l’esame dei disegni tecnici, del materiale d’archivio e delle fotografie di automobili sopravvissute, illustra l’evoluzione delle vetture Lancia e i loro contenuti innovativi, spesso caratterizzati da elementi di assoluta originalità. Il reperimento del materiale si è mostrato, tuttavia, più arduo rispetto al lavoro sulle vetture FIAT, almeno per le automobili più anziane, poiché l’archivio dei disegni Lancia era organizzato senza impiegare una struttura logica di supporto, per distinguere agevolmente i diversi gruppi funzionali dai particolari di puro dettaglio.

  • 2014 Padova BORRANI ENG
    Ruote Borrani helps owners of classic cars and motorbikes preserve authenticity as market values keep steadily rising. PADOVA, 23rd October 2014. • At Auto e Moto d’Epoca, Borrani focuses on the wire wheel kit for the highly demanded Alfa Romeo 2000 Spyder Touring • A striking set of Rudge Sport with tubular steel rim equips one of the sportiest pre- war Alfas, the 6C2300 MM Touring • The aggressive Triumph Trident 750 Koelliker benefits from Ruote Borrani Record/11 with reinforced rim for racing. At the 31st Auto e Moto d'Epoca show in Padua from 23rd to 26th October the wire wheel manufacturer Ruote Borrani showcases its range of classic wheels for cars and motorbikes. Wheels are made by hand strictly following the 8000+ original blueprints guarded in the company archives since 1923. Many of the valuable cars and motorbikes exhibited at the Padua show were fitted with Ruote Borrani as original equipment when first produced. Now that classic car values reach top heights, with HAGI © Top Index at all time high in September listing a staggering +163% growth in the last 6 years, owners find out that authentic refurbishment or replacement of their Borranis generates premium value in transactions, whilst inappropriate wheels cost precious points in Concours d'Elégance. As usual, Borrani wire wheels on show are fitted on extraordinary cars and bikes. Borrani RW3906 1959 Alfa Romeo 2000 spyder Touring The "Record" RW3906 on booth are fitted on the Alfa Romeo 2000 Spyder with Touring Superleggera coachwork: the last production Alfa to specify Borrani wire wheels as manufacturer’s option.

  • Some Interesting Facts About Borrani Wheels for You
    Some interesting facts about Borrani Wheels for you. Carlo Borrani was actually born in Calfornia but started up a new company with a partner in Milan using the patented Rudge-Whitworth design of a tapered splined hub to which a tapered wheel's centre could swiftly be fitted and locked into position by means of a single wheel nut or a knockoff. As you know, one uses a suitable hammer to tighten or loosen the knock-off. Over the years Borrani made spoke wheels for bicycles, motorcycles and cars. Magnesium alloy wheels were added to their portfolio to remain competitive. During the dictatorship of Mussolini, it was decreed that all names of companies bearing an English name be purged and the company obliged giving the name: Ruota Borrani - Milano. (Ruota is Italian for wheel). For a brief spell the company was required to make aircraft wheels, shock absorbers, brakes and fuel pumps during the war up to the time they signed the Armistice with the Allies in 1943. Borrani built up an impressive customer base. Ferrari, Maserati, Alfa Romeo, Aston Martin, Lamborghini and Ford. Interestingly, Carlo never drove a car, preferring to be chauffeured. I wonder if there any Triumphs out there kitted out with Borrani wheels? Well, in fact you can buy them, I have searched their website and for a set of four TR6 wire wheels, expect to pay 6604.80 Pound plus 835.20 for a set of four spinners!!! In case you were wondering about the red hand on the badge, that is a salute to Rudge-Whitworth's origins; look out for the headstock on one of their early bicycles and the chain ring for that matter - The Red Hand of Ulster, Northern Ireland.

With a history dating back to 1922, RUOTE BORRANI is the only manufacturer of the “true” wire rim. These elegant wheels are state-of-the-art hand-made from the highest quality materials typically reserved for aeronautics and Formula 1. Movie stars, racecar drivers and car enthusiasts know BORRANI as an elitist rim. Mick Jagger BORRANI rims are the most famous and sophisticated rims in the market today. Within the walls of BORRANI’s workshop are skilled artisans who have undergone special training that allows them to assemble each rim by hand. These artisans pull blueprints from the shelves and begin to shape, mold and assemble each individual rim from bare metal to the final product. To ensure the integrity of each wheel BORRANI documents each rim in a ledger. A process that has been performed since 1922. Beyond the strength and resilience of the rims what draws people to BORRANI is...their elegance. This guide was developed to help you better understand the product lines offered by RUOTE BORRANI and provide you the most updated prices all in one easy to use booklet.

  • Ruote Borrani Showcases Two Previews in Padova: Aston Martin Continuation and Pirelli Stella Bianca
    Ruote Borrani showcases two previews in Padova: Aston Martin Continuation and Pirelli Stella Bianca • Aston Martin Works DB4 G.T. Continuation equipped with Ruote Borrani, a piece of history repeating. • Pirelli presents the second model from their “Collezione” catalogue. After the Cinturato model, comes the Stella Bianca Corsa tyre. • Ferrari 365 GTC/4 at Auto e Moto d’Epoca with Ruote Borrani. PADOVA, October 24th 2018. Ruote Borrani increases and strengthens its collaboration with Pirelli. Ruote Borrani confirms its role as a key player in the classic cars universe, by both capturing the connoisseurs interest through projects and custom built initiatives, and by developing collaborations with other key players in the market. Pirelli strengthens its classic image providing for the most prestigious brands, by continuing the development of products for vintage and classic cars through its “Collezione” catalogue. Alongside the “Cinturato” model, Pirelli previews at the Auto e Moto d’Epoca Padova, the reissued Stella Bianca Corsa tyre. Considering the favourable reactions to last year’s reissuing of the Cinturato Pirelli 175HR400 for cars such as the Ferrari 250 GT SWB, the Alfa Romeo 2600 and the Lancia Flaminia, the curiosity for the 2018 previews is sky-high. In Route Borrani’s stand will be two showcases coupling the prestigious rims to the Stella Bianca Corsa 6.00 x 16” which is just the beginning of a wider range of products which will be launched throughout the next year. The first showcase with a Borrani RW 2839 4.00 x 16” wheel, mounted with a Pirelli 600-16 Stella Bianca Corsa tyre, specifically for a Ferrari 250 Mille Miglia Berlinetta.

  • 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.

Neenah, Wis. (Nov. 10, 2010) – The initial introduction of the S-Ray series rims was done through the Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) Show Nov. 2-5, 2010 at the Las Vegas Convention Center in Las Vegas, Nevada. Borrani and Fiat have a history together that spans nearly 90 years. Borrani rims quickly became famous in the 1920s because of their strong but light alloy wire wheels. These wheels contributed to countless Ferrari and Maserati victories in races such as the Mille Miglia and Le Mans. Over the years Borrani has worked closely with Fiat to develop rims specific to their unique car models. “With the introduction of the Fiat 500 and Ruote Borrani Milano wire wheels to the American market this year – this was a partnership meant to be. We are excited to be the first to partner with Borrani Americas to resell these one-of-a-kind wheels. I know that once Fiat owners and enthusiasts see the uniqueness of these rims they will be as excited as I am.” said Boris Tilim, Principal at 500 MADNESS. The design of the S-Ray wheel is unique because of its individual mounting pattern, the number of spokes, dimpling and special center pieces. All Borrani rims are hand assembled by specially trained Italian artisans and available only in limited quantities in accordance to Borrani tradition.
