Enzo Ferrari Ende Der 1930Er Jahre Selbstständig Machen Wollte, Suchte Er Einen Kreditgeber
Interview mit Piero Ferrari ______________________ Als sich Enzo Ferrari Ende der 1930er Jahre selbstständig machen wollte, suchte er einen Kreditgeber. Er fand ihn im italienischen Reifenhersteller PIRELLI. Piero Pirelli, um genau zu sein. Aus Dankbarkeit für diesen 15 Milliarden Lire-Kredit, der das solide Fundament für die Entwicklung, Konstruktion und Fertigung des ersten 12-Zylinder-Ferrari-Motors unter Ingenieur Colombo und die Zukunft des Unternehmens FERRARI sein sollte, gab Enzo Ferrari wohl seinem zweitgeborenen Sohn den Namen Piero. Zweitgeborener Sohn deshalb, weil der Erstgeborene namens Alfredino - abgekürzt Dino - trotz engagierter Bemühungen seiner Mutter Laura und seines die Krankheit akribisch schriftlich dokumentierenden Vaters Enzo im Jahre 1956 an Multipler Sklerose verstarb. Beide Söhne zeigten sich dem Erbe ihres Vaters würdig. Beide waren und sind begnadete Techniker und Ingenieure, die durch ihre Konstruktion von Motoren dem Unternehmen Ferrari, Piero aber auch für das mit 42.000 verkauften Motorrädern der italienischen Marke DUCATI im Jahre 2010, dem bisher erfolgreichsten Jahr in der Firmengeschichte, für Anerkennung, mehr noch: für Furore gesorgt haben. Der Markenname DINO, für die in den 1960er Jahren gebauten Sportwagen mit dem von Dino Ferrari gezeichneten 6-Zylinder-Motoren in hoher Mindest-Stückzahl für die rennsportliche Registrierung als Formel 2-Motor, gilt als zuverlässiges und erfolgreiches Bindeglied für die seit 1969 praktizierte Erfolgsehe mit dem Unternehmen FIAT des Avocato Gianni Agnelli und seiner Ehefrau, der Marquesa Carraciolo, in Turin-Italien. Hinter vorgehaltener Hand geben Mitarbeiter von Ferrari sogar preis, Piero sei nicht nur für die Konstruktion und den Einsatz des überaus erfolgreichen Ferrari-Sportwagens 333 verantwortlich gewesen, sondern habe auch die technische Zuständigkeit in Sachen Weltmeister-Motoren von Michael Schumacher in der Formel 1 der Jahre 2000 bis 2004 zu verantworten gehabt. -

1979 Porsche 924 Turbo Classic Rally Car PRICE £50,000
1979 Porsche 924 Turbo Classic Rally Car PRICE £50,000 ABOUT THIS CAR Rally Preparation Services is delighted to offer an extremely rare opportunity to own this stunning Porsche 924 Turbo. Porsche originally introduced the 924 to its model line-up in dealer showrooms in 1976, Being the first ever front engine rear wheel drive car offered by the manufacturer. Having a transaxle gearbox at the rear giving a 48/52 weight distribution gave unprecedented balance and handling, easily outperforming its rivals in the market. This new project and build was a joint venture with Volkswagen, and it was a totally new approach, Porsche designed the car and VW built it but directly overseen by Porsche. The early 924’s were heavily criticized for their lack of outright power (around 110BHP – 120BHP depending on market) so Porsche re-energized the model in 1978 by installing a KKK Turbocharger giving 170BHP which instantly gave the car that much awaited power – well deserved praise followed for the engineers after finally finding some proper speed to match its excellent handling characteristics. This was the birth of the 924 Turbo. This car offers a particularly limited opportunity to purchase a very capable rally car that is not just striking to look at, but brilliant fun to drive and has a history that absolutely no other Porsche 924 Turbo can offer. The build was completed over a five-year period as a no cost restriction exercise and as a replica of an original works prepared car. When finished this Porsche 924 Turbo was shown at a Porsche Concours show in Switzerland, one of the panel of judges on the day was none other than former Porsche engineer and race and rally driver Jürgen Barth. -
Tilman Brodbeck Remembers
www.porscheroadandrace.com Tilman Brodbeck remembers Published: 12th January 2018 By: Kieron Fennelly Online version: https://www.porscheroadandrace.com/tilman-brodbeck-remembers/ Tilman Brodbeck poses with a 1973 911 Carrera RS 2.7 Coupé (left) and a 911 Sport Classic (right) – 21 September 2009 To be able to write on your résumé that you worked for one of Porsche’s CEOs would be quite an achievement. Tilman Brodbeck can however do a little better than that, for in a 40- year career, he was assistant to no fewer than five successive Porsche presidents. But, as he tells us, he held other posts too. When he started at Zuffenhausen, the company was still ruled by Ferry Porsche, whose nephew and Technical Director Ferdinand Piëch, was literally snapping at his heels. www.porscheroadandrace.com Ferry Porsche www.porscheroadandrace.com Unlike many of his contemporaries who went to Stuttgart University to complete their education, Tilman Brodbeck went further afield, to Darmstadt 100 miles to the north, for his engineering studies: “I wanted to get away from home,” he smiles revealing the slightly nonconformist streak that runs through much of his thinking. His speciality at Darmstadt was in airflow techniques, a subject then very little developed. Tilman’s background meant that after he joined Porsche he was promoted to body project engineer. “One of my tasks was on the 924 (Porsche’s first front engined model) where getting sufficient cooling air to the engine was quite a challenge within the overall shape we wanted for the car.” Prior to this though and before even being assigned a title, Brodbeck had had to prove himself: he was handed the daunting responsibility of resolving the 911’s tendency to lift its front end at high speed. -

John Elkann: Sergio Marchionne "Will not Return" Published on iItaly.org (http://www.iitaly.org) John Elkann: Sergio Marchionne "Will not Return" Judith Harris (July 24, 2018) Sergio Marchionne's condition is "irreversible," according to the hospital in Zurich where he is in intensive care. And on July 21 Fiat Chrysler chairman, John Elkann, 42, wrote a wistful semi-obituary letter to the company's 236,000 employees, reminding them that it was Marchionne's "intellect, perseverance and leadership that saved Fiat." ROME -- The Italian component of Fiat-Chrysler [2] cars was already in crisis when Sergio Marchionne, 66, was in a university hospital in Zurich, Switzerland, on June 28, supposedly for an operation on his shoulder. But then Marchionne took a "sudden and sharp" turn for the worse, and is now unconscious on life-support; some here whisper the real cause is cancer, but no official statement has yet come. He last appeared in public on June 26 in Italy, two days before hospitalization. Although TV news footage from that day shows Marchionne weak and with apparent trouble Page 1 of 3 John Elkann: Sergio Marchionne "Will not Return" Published on iItaly.org (http://www.iitaly.org) breathing, some Italian press accounts say that the situation "precipitated almost without warning" while others spoke of an "unspecified aggressively infectious disease" only recently diagnosed. Whatever the cause, no improvement will come, for his condition is "irreversible," according to the hospital; and on July 21 Fiat Chrysler chairman, John Elkann, 42, wrote a wistful semi-obituary letter to the company's 236,000 employees, reminding them that it was Marchionne's "intellect, perseverance and leadership that saved Fiat." Marchionne, born in Italy but raised in Canada, took over the then failing 119-year-old Fiat company [3] in 2004. -

Porsche Club Südtirol 06/02/1973 1973 — On 06/02/1973, the Porsche Club Südtirol is founded in Bolzano. As South Tyrol is situ- ated in the border region between the Italian low- lands and the Alps, it offers perfect terrain for ex- cursions and international gatherings, and in the 1970s, this alone ensured that the South Tyrol Club became very famous indeed. The most powerful racing car of its day, the Porsche 917/30 Spyder, enjoys its motor racing premiere in May, driven by Mark Donohue. -

Iniezioneiniezione the Newsletter of the Northwest Alfa Romeo Club
IniezioneIniezione The newsletter of the Northwest Alfa Romeo Club “Barn Find” at Alfa of Tacoma It was about a week before the Half-fast Lap last September when my friend, Steve Anderson (now a new club member) called, so excited about a “barn find” he had heard about that he couldn’t even wait for me to finish my shower. An uncle, Steve Bates, had been to his house for dinner the night before, and had told of a 1957 Alfa spider that his brother-in-law had taken to Alfa of Tacoma for repairs in 1977 and never picked up. Steve B’s brother-in-law, Phil George, had lived in Richland and acquired the car in about 1967. Steve remembers that Phil drove the car actively, and on one particular “hold on tight” ride, Phil told him that he and the Alfa “became one” when he drove. Steve had his doubts. When the engine began to show problems, Phil brought it to Alfa of Tacoma. Carlo ended up rebuilding the top and bottom ends, the front suspension, the brakes, and replaced the steering box. Carlo knew the car and said Phil had always taken good care of it, but when it came time to pick it up, he couldn’t pay for it. He stopped by often to see it, though. Phil remarried, but his new wife thought he really didn’t need that car, so there it sat, in the second bay from the window, on jack stands and under a cover. Phil died about five years ago and Lino had no idea how to contact any of the family. -
