The Museo Lamborghini is situated to the right of the main
entrance of the factory in Sant’Agata Bolognese, which is a
historic small town in the countryside, approximately mid way
between Bologna and Modena. A bonus of its location right on
the factory premises is that one will see cars being taken out on
test, and maybe even spot the odd prototype. The factory is on
the main SP 255, Via Modena, on the outskirts of the town, but
within walking distance of the historic centre, and is still the site
on which Ferruccio Lamborghini established the original factory in
1963. |

In the roaring twenties and the flamboyant years before WWII
there were a lot of marques in the top market and international
racing scene that did not make it into the times of mass
production after the war. Some of them disappeared into the
history books, others did leave such an impression that their
name was revitalized some time later so when looking at today´s
Bugatti Chiron as the status symbol of the Volkswagen group
one is reminded at the glorious history of the cars from
Molsheim. |
The Blancpain race series for GT3 cars was at the Paul Ricard
circuit in the South of France, for the 1000kms race on the
Saturday evening running from 18.00 into darkness, finishing
around midnight. The main race was supported by two races
each for the GT Sports Club series for gentlemen drivers, two
rounds of the Lamborghini Super Trofeo series, together with four
demonstration periods for the Ultracar & GT1 Sports Club
members, whose cars were on display in the paddock. |
The Ferrari Owners’ Club of Great Britain celebrated their 50th
anniversary, along with Ferrari’s 70th anniversary, with their
National Event featuring the EFG Concours, at Danesfield House
on the western outskirts of the picturesque Thames-side town of
Marlow in Buckinghamshire. The national event has historically
been held on a Sunday, but the decision was made to feature it
on a Saturday this year so that it could run later into the evening
with no pressing work commitments the following day. |
Great Britain is very well known both for traditionalism and
sportsmanship and few things combine these two key virtues just
as vintage motorsport. Like Silverstone became the home of
British Motorsport over the last decades it is undoubtedly
Goodwood for historics. With the two major events in early
summer and autumn both the hill climb in front of Goodwood
house as well as the races at the motor circuit attract more
people than any other classic event and might be only second to
the actual British GP. |
For its summer exhibition, Autoworld has set its sights on
celebrating 70 years of Ferrari! More than 45 mythical, sports
and luxury cars will recall the fabulous history of the marque
boasting the Prancing Horse on the mezzanine, the museum’s
first floor. Created by the driver Enzo Ferrari at the ripe age of 49,
Ferrari was to become, within a few years the greatest
automotive myth. Belgium (after the United States) became the
second importer thanks to the passion of one of Enzo Ferrari’s
close drivers, Jacques Swaters. |
Once again it is the time in the year when the classic car world is
looking towards the Monterey Peninsula for the Monterey Car
Week. In the calm before the storm the first cars arrived at
Laguna Seca this weekend for the annual Pre-Reunion races
where the early arrivals can enjoy the famous Corkscrew before
the masses invade the scene. With numerous Auctions,
Concours and meetings the racing plays an important role and a
lot of drivers took the chance to either test their cars before the
actual races next weekend or simply extend their visit before
joining the Concours next Sunday. |
After visiting the Laguna Seca Pre-Reunion the weekend the
Monterey Classic Car Week finally is here with a slow start as
Monday still is the only day nobody set up a show. So the first
visitors and cars arrived in Monterey to set up their base in the
various hotels or rented houses and cars are stored and prepared
for the week to come. This is the day to visit the open house at
Canepa Motorsports a few miles north. |
The star of Friday’s auction, the 1970 Porsche 917K, became the
most valuable Porsche ever sold at auction with a realized price
of $14,080,000. The price achieved broke the previous Porsche
record held by Gooding & Company for the sale of a 1982
Porsche 956 (sold for $10,120,000 in 2015). The star of
Saturday’s auction, the 1966 Ferrari 275 GTB/C, also set a new
world auction record for the model when it garnered $14,520,000 -
the highest price achieved for the celebrated marque across all
auction houses this week. One of only 12 ever built, this unrivaled
offering is the ultimate evolution of the single-cam Ferrari
Berlinetta and its world record price illustrated the car’s historical
significance. |
The Ferrari Portofino is the new V8 GT set to dominate its
segment thanks to a perfect combination of sportiness, elegance
and on board comfort. Ferrari has chosen a particularly evocative
moniker for this exceptionally versatile drop-top car, referencing
one of Italy’s most beautiful towns. Portofino is renowned for its
charming tourist port and, over the years, has become
internationally synonymous with elegance, sportiness and
understated luxury. The launch colour of the new Ferrari has also
been dedicated to this marvellous town: Rosso Portofino. |
With so many exemplary cars on offer, the 1995 McLaren F1
nonetheless took center stage and attracted people from around
the world who came to make and witness history. With the
auction tent filled to capacity and the audience spilling onto the
lawns, spectators, journalists and bidders alike applauded as the
single owner supercar zoomed onto the stage. After a brisk start
in bidding between four bidders that quickly rose to $14-million. |
It is September and the classic car calendar is reaching its
autumn highlights. All the weekends of the first proper autumn
month will be flooded with events in Europe ranging from several
concours to the last race meetings or hill climbs using the last
snow free days in the mountains. Snow certainly never was a
theme when the Salon Privé opened its doors on the first
September weekend to start a busy month with that British
Contours marathon around London. |
Welcome to part two of the early September Concours marathon
in London. After visiting the Salon Privé yesterday we joined the
entrants of the 6th British Concours of Elegance for the “owner’s
day”. After the inaugural Concours for the Queens 60th crown
jubilee in her summer house in Windsor Castle the concours did
a round trip through the British kings palace followed by St.
James, Hampton Court, the Scottish Holyrood Palace and again
for her 90th anniversary in Windsor. This year the concours
returned to Hampton Court south-west of London located at the
river Themse. |
The top lot of the night was a unique 2004 Ferrari Enzo, finished
in stunning Blu Tour de France paintwork. Originally delivered in
another unique colour of Matt Titanio Extra Campionario, the
Classiche certified car changed hands in 2008 and was refinished
in its current colour. The Enzo is the iconic hypercar of its era,
highly sought after by collectors. With only 8,884 km on the
clock and benefitting from a full main dealer service history from
new, the car truly deserved its £1,805,000 price tag. |
Tonight in Maranello, Italy, at the historic Pista di Fiorano during
the Ferrari's 70th anniversary celebrations, a 2017 LaFerrari
Aperta, the Italian marque’s ultimate hypercar, set a record for a
21st Century car when it sold for €8.3 million at the RM
Sotheby’s Leggenda E Passione sale. The price, double the high
estimate, was realised after as many as 12 collectors vied for the
car. |
RM Sotheby’s is delighted to announce that it has achieved a
remarkable 92.5 percent sell-through rate and €63,068,110 in
sales at its single-marque Ferrari – Leggenda e Passione
auction, in partnership with Ferrari. Held 9 September at the
legendary Pista di Fiorano, the mouthwatering group of
automobiles saw collectors bid via telephones, online, and from
the trackside stadium seating that had been set up for the
outdoor sale, eager to secure some exquisite cars. The success
of the sale is a fitting tribute to help celebrate Ferrari’s 70th
anniversary year. |

just returned, and are now gathering all of our best images for the
second edition of Nine Over Nine-2017. |

Chantilly establishes itself as one of the top concours events in

Best-of-Show (Classic and Concept) where divided. For the
concepts winners are Renault Trezor and Citroen Cxperience. |
