include the Drivers’ and Manufacturers’ World Championship
titles in the FIA World Endurance Championship with the 488

The BR20 is a two-seater V12 coupé developed on the
GTC4Lusso platform, which in terms of its philosophy and
styling approach, cleverly references the magnificent Ferrari
coupés of the 1950s and 60s, without the slightest hint of
nostalgia. Instead, it pulls off the challenging feat of marrying
timeless elegance with muscular sportiness, effortlessly
incorporating styling themes typical of some of the most iconic
12-cylinders in Ferrari history, including the 410 SA and 500
Superfast. |

“Who do you think you are? Stirling Moss?” This, so the story
goes, is what a policeman asked the legendary British racing
driver following a particularly ‘daring’ overtaking manoeuvre on the
streets of London. “Yes sir, I am” was the honest reply. There’s a
nod to this legendary tale – and a number of other aspects of
Moss’s life and career – in “The Last Blast”, a new short film by
Mercedes-Benz Classic. A police motorcycle outrider
admonishes the over-enthusiastic driver of the very
Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR made famous by Moss’s win in the
1955 Mille Miglia race. |

Starting from Maserati’s roots to plan its future: the values of
exclusivity, unique design and 100% Italian DNA of cars of the
past are renewed today in the models that mark the Brand’s
New Era. It is in this spirit that Maserati celebrates the 70th
anniversary of the A6G 2000. The first A6G 2000, a car
representative of the A6 series, built by Maserati from 1947 to
1956 and named in homage to Alfieri Maserati (hence the letter
A) with a 6 indicating the engine type (straight 6) was delivered
exactly 70 years ago, in February 1951.. |
The Ferrari SF90 Stradale Assetto Fiorano has set the fastest
lap recorded by a production car at the 2.439-mile Indianapolis
Motor Speedway road course, lapping the circuit at an
impressive 1:29.625 seconds at a maximum speed of 174.6
mph to set this time. “It was a great moment to witness, seeing
how the impressive performance of the Ferrari SF90 Stradale
put down this lap record on July 15,” says Mark Raffauf, Senior
Director of Race Operations at International Motor Sports
Association (IMSA), which oversaw the test. |
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. |
The Ristorante Cavallino has officially begun a new era, hosting a

champions and other people who played their part in the history
of the Maranello marque, from the management side, team
partners and journalists who have chronicled the team’s journey
in print and on television. |
Ferrari opens its first Tailor Made Center in the United States

Tailor Made Center in 2011, followed by the Shanghai Tailor Made
Center in 2014. |

Ferrari’s future on the GT racing scene takes shape and develops
around the volumes of the 296 GTB, redefining it according to
track and performance requirements and giving life to the 296
GT3. This model takes up the legacy of the 488 GT3 which, in its
standard and Evo 2020 configurations, has picked up 107 titles
from its debut race to date, with 429 wins from 770 starts. These
extraordinary figures make it the most successful car in Prancing
Horse history. |
On 12 March 1947, Enzo Ferrari started up the Ferrari 125 S, the
first car to bear his name. The Ferrari that crossed the Maranello
gates in 1947 was more than a new car, it was a declaration of
intent, and the beginning of a 75-year culture of excellence built
on craftsmanship, dedication, tradition and innovation. It is a
culture that has created a stream of automotive masterpieces,
each destined to transcend time. |

victory on Saturday. Represented in this case by only the Triarsi

Over the last two years a lot of events were cancelled and they
had to find a way to keep their sponsors and getting set up the
event this year. Some of them struggled more than others but the
Classic Days even had more challenges to master as they lost
their original event location, the Castle Dyck near Neuss. For
many years the picturesque water castle was a perfect backdrop
for the German garden party with the Orangery for the concours,
an alley for a recognizable round course and the gardens for the
camping and pick-nick. When we went to the first Classic Days
the garden were just refurbished for the Bundesgartenschau but
the castle was still in a sorry state. |
The weekend has finally arrived and the car week goes into its
final days. After the Jet Center Party on Wednesday, it was time

astronomic ticket prices that give one access to the best food
and drinks in the atmosphere of an exclusive garden party,
surrounded by the good things in life. |
