Cizeta Moroder V16T
Have you ever heard a Cizeta Moroder V16 T revving to more than 7,000/min ? Most of us never have even seen such
a car in reality. But at the Concorso they could have had the possibility to watch a bright red example of only 6
supposed to be built with an the owner who wasn’t afraid to turn the V16 on and to rev it ”a little bit”.
This spectacular car was designed by Marcello Gandini in order of Claudio Zampolli and well-known Giorgio
Moroder. In the mid-80’s, Moroder wanted to have a truly unique, super-performance car with more than 12 Cylinder.
The result was shown at the Geneva Auto Salon in 1988 for the first time and attracted huge attention. Two V8 were
combined to form a V16 mounted transversal behind the cabin like a Lamborghini Miura. It delivers 540 hp and if
someone is brave enough it can run 204 mph……
”Production” started in 1991 but the time had changed since 1988. There was no market anymore for such
supercars and so only approx. 6 cars were built, at least one for the Sultan of Brunei and two for Giorgio.
Ferrari display
50 years of Ferrari & Pininfarina
This year, the main theme was ”50 years of Ferrari and Pininfarina” and therefore 7 Pininfarina masterpieces and
Prototypes were shipped from Italy to the States including the latest Pininfarina Rossa, based on a F550 Maranello.
In 1967 Pininfarina created the Dino Competizione, based on a Dino 206 S with s/n 034. The car has gullwing-doors
and is fitted with two very prominent adjustable wings – one over the nose at the front and a big rear-wing.
The reason for Pininfarina to built the Sigma Grand Prix in 1969, was to use a racing car as a mobile laboratory for
research into new ideas for all-round car safety. The Prototype is equipped with complete F1 mechanicals and was
shown to the International Sports Committee in Zandvoort to review regulations.
Two award-winning Ferrari Mythos were built in 1989, one went to Japan and the other stayed in the Pininfarina
Museum. Up to this day this design layout has nothing lost from its sheer beauty and aggression since the Tokyo
Motor Show in 1989, where the car appeared for the first time.
Besides all the Pininfarina-designed cars, in the Pininfarina tent the Concorso organizers had also gathered other
Pininfarina-designed stuff like kitchen equipment, shower handles etc..
A white Ferrari 166 MM Touring Barchetta ?
Right parked before the FCA tent a small white Ferrari Touring Barchetta attracted tremendous attraction. Looking in
the engine compartment one could get confused: ”0049S” is clearly stamped on the cross member as well as on
the engine….0049S ? – this should be a 166 Inter Ghia Coupe and not a Touring Barchetta !
The truth is, this car is owned by Charles Betz and Fred Peters who built it up with Touring Barchetta body-parts on a
166 Inter chassis in the 90’s.
Not a real one – but this was obviously no disadvantage because the majority elected it as ”Best of Show”.
Particular Ferrari 250 GT - list
A lot of different Ferrari 250 GT were displayed as well. Oldest car was a 1956 Boano Coupe s/n 0429GT, followed
by another Boano – chassis 0625GT.
