Ruote Borrani in Padova with Aston Martin Continuation • Aston Martin Works DB4 G.T. Continuation equipped with Ruote Borrani like the Touring version. • Alfa Romeo 1750 GS Touring equipped with Ruote Borrani. PADOVA, October 24th 2019. Ruote Borrani strengthens its collaboration with Aston Martin Continuation. Ruote Borrani confirms its role as a key player in the classic cars’ universe, by both capturing the connoisseur’s interest through projects and custom built initiatives, and by developing collaborations with other key players in the market. The Aston Martin DB4 G.T. is probably the brand’s most iconic and celebrated model. A timeless piece mixing perfectly performance, agility and aerodynamics. The Aston Martin DB4 G.T. represents a class of purebred racing cars, where the technological and design solutions were aimed at consolidating the brand’s leading position in the GT realm. After the Aston Martin Continuation with DB4 G.T. designed by Touring Superleggera success, Aston Martin Works are at it again with the Zagato version of the car. A very small, 19 pieces series, built in Newport Pagnell, and only sold alongside the Aston Martin DBS GT Zagato. Ruote Borrani RW3442 5.00x16” were fitted onto the first Aston Martin BD4 G.T. models. The wheels had two sets of wires and a forged central hub, a version known as Tipo 42 RDB (where DB stood for David Brown). The RW3511 wheel was the same except for a pressed central piece. In January 1961 the first wheel with standard central hub and three rows of wires was produced, and Aston Martin requested a wheel with forged central hub for its racing cars. This new racing version, known as the RW3696, was put into production the 20th April 1961 and supplied to Aston Martin. Both improvements, the extra row of wires and the forged central hub, contributed to improving the car’s driveability, making cornering easier and more precise when driving at high speeds. Both these aspects became essential for racing cars. After the new RW3696 wheel was presented, many previous wheels (the RW3442 model) were returned to Borrani with a request to modify the backspace from 100 to 83mm, to allow the usage of the new Girling calipers. This new version, which only kept two rows of wires, was named RW3442/61. In June 1961 a new wheel designed for Aston Martin DB4GT Zagato was presented. The RW3701 with 5.50x400 rim, with three rows of wires and forged hub. The collaboration between Borrani e Aston Martin DB4 continues with the RW3725 5.50 x 16”, designed to adapt to the fifth Aston Martin DB4GT series, which became by far the car’s most loved version. Aston Martin DB4 G.T. Continuation carries on the tradition and is equipped with Borrani RW3725, in either the varnished or chromed version. Ruote Borrani’s stand at Padova: Alfa Romeo 1750 GS Touring. Ruote Borrani’s Heritage program started in 2016 and continues to offer an ever-increasing range of very technologically advanced yet perfectly compliant wheels for classic cars, allowing collectors to equip their cars with wheels which fit both classic and modern needs.

As early as 1928, Mr. Bianchi Anderloni was fine tuning shapes and details necessary to achieve the lightness required for racing cars. He designed the new 6C 1750, with its distinctively long chassis and short bonnet. Touring Superleggera is at its finest with the SS, GS and GTC with compressor versions. The unusual low bonnet’s elongated proportions and the inclined radiator are the perfect technical solution to enhance the engine’s performance and make Alfa Romeo a winner in speed and reliability, elegance and comfort. The showcased car with its original MILANO car plate, represents the pinnacle of the Touring Superleggera and Alfa Romeo partnership.
