Hoje, 09 de junho de 2026, comemoramos 128 anos de Luigi Fagioli. Membro dos lendários "Três Fs" da Alfa Romeo (ao lado de Fangio e Farina), Fagioli não era apenas um piloto talentoso; ele era uma bomba relógio sobre rodas. Hoje mergulhamos na vida desse titã do pré-guerra, que sobreviveu à era de perigo dos anos 30 e ainda deixou seu nome marcado na F1 com um recorde que, por causa das idades atuais dos pilotos, provavelmente nunca será quebrado: o de vencedor mais velho da história (53 anos). Conheça a história da vitória compartilhada no GP da França de 1951, o motivo " que o fez abandonar a categoria no auge, e o trágico desfecho em Mônaco.

Die aktuellen Automobilkurznachrichten mit Michael Weyland Thema heute:Der Buch-Tipp: Ferrari in der FORMEL 1 Foto: Cover (c) Geramond Verlag Es sind nur sieben Buchstaben, aber sie ergeben zusammen einen Mythos! Das Wort, dass sich daraus zusammensetzt heißt schlicht und einfach Ferrari! Es gibt mit Sicherheit fast keinen jungen Menschen, der nicht davon träumt, irgendwann mal in einem Ferrari zu sitzen, ich gebe zu, das gilt natürlich auch für ältere Menschen. Mit zunehmendem Alter lässt allerdings der Wunsch nach, auch mal in einem Formel 1 Auto von Ferrari zu sitzen.  Foto: Buchseite S. 20 (c) Geramond Verlag - Motorsport Images und James Mann Das hat mehrere Gründe:Erstens kommen die meisten von uns gar nicht mehr in ein solches Fahrzeug hinein, geschweige denn, heraus und vermutlich wären wir auch nicht in der Lage, mit diesem Fahrzeug auch nur 100 Meter weit unfallfrei zu fahren. Immerhin würden wir es vermutlich schaffen, das Auto in Bewegung zu setzen, den Automatikgetrieben neuerer Generation sei Dank. Das war früher völlig anders, wie man in dem im Verlag GeraMond erschienenen Buch „Ferrari in der FORMEL 1“ von Stuart Codling nachlesen kann.Codling stellt in diesem Buch auf 224 Seiten alle Rennfahrzeuge von Ferrari vor, die seit 1950 bis 2020 in der Formel 1 eingesetzt wurden. Zwar gab es schon vor der Formel 1 Automobilweltmeisterschaften, aber das Buch von Codling listet eben die Fahrzeuge auf, die seit 1950 von Ferrari in der Formel eins eingesetzt wurden. Dieses erste Formel 1 Fahrzeug trug übrigens die Typenbezeichnung 125 F1. In den ersten beiden Jahren der Formel 1, also 1950 und 1951, dominierten aber noch die von Kompressor-Motoren angetriebenen Alfetta von Alfa Romeo. Foto: Buchseite S. 148 (c) Geramond Verlag - Motorsport Images und Ja-mes Mann 1952 war es dann soweit: Alberto Ascari wurde auf dem 170 PS starken Ferrari 500 F1 Weltmeister. Es war der erste Formel 1 Fahrerweltmeistertitel, es sollten im Laufe der Jahrzehnte 14 weitere folgen.  Konstrukteursweltmeister wurde man erstmals 1961, insgesamt kamen hier 16 Titel zusammen. An dieser Stelle einen Überblick über die Fahrzeuge im Buch zu machen ist schon aufgrund der Menge unmöglich. Der letzte vorgestellte Rennwagen im Buch ist der SF 1000 von 2020 – die Zahl 1000 dürfte für seine PS-Leistung stehen. Sie haben jetzt sicher Lust auf mehr bekommen? Kein Problem. Das Buch „Ferrari in der FORMEL 1“ ist im Buchhandel und online für 49,99 Euro erhältlich!    Diesen Beitrag können Sie nachhören oder downloaden unter:

Mario Esposito e Carlo Emilio Zummocuratori della mostra "Lucio Dalla e Roberto Roversi. Automobili. Un disco"MAUTO Museo Nazionale dell'Automobile di TorinoFino al 20 settembre 2026A cinquant'anni dalla pubblicazione, il progetto espositivo invita a riascoltare un album e a ripensare il nostro rapporto con una delle invenzioni che più hanno segnato – e continuano a segnare – la nostra storia.Installation view. Ph. PerottinoIl Museo Nazionale dell'Automobile presenta il progetto espositivo LUCIO DALLA & ROBERTO ROVERSI. AUTOMOBILI. UN DISCO. In esposizione da mercoledì 13 maggio a domenica 20 settembre - nella project room al primo piano - materiali d'archivio, illustrazioni e automobili che accompagnano il visitatore in un percorso in cui le canzoni dell'album prendono forma nello spazio espositivo, intrecciando memoria storica, immaginario collettivo e riflessione contemporanea sul ruolo dell'automobile nella società.“Il Museo Nazionale dell'Automobile rappresenta il contesto ideale per accogliere e amplificare il progetto Lucio Dalla & Roberto Roversi. Automobili. Un disco. Da luogo tradizionalmente deputato alla conservazione e valorizzazione dell'oggetto automobile, il Museo si configura oggi come uno spazio di riflessione culturale più ampio, in linea con una strategia che privilegia approcci trasversali e intersezionali. Portare questa mostra al MAUTO significa spostare lo sguardo - da oggetto tecnico a fenomeno culturale complesso - e interrogare le narrazioni che hanno costruito il mito dell'auto, metterle in discussione e aprire nuove prospettive di lettura che coinvolgono musica, letteratura, arte e società. La mostra si inserisce così pienamente nella nuova visione del Museo: un'istituzione capace di raccontare l'automobile come lente privilegiata per comprendere le trasformazioni del Novecento e le sfide del contemporaneo. Automobili diventa allora un archivio vivo, un racconto aperto, uno strumento critico”. Lorenza Bravetta, Direttore MAUTONel 1976 la casa discografica RCA pubblica Automobili, il concept album di Lucio Dalla e Roberto Roversi dedicato al simbolo per eccellenza della modernità e delle trasformazioni del Novecento. Il cantautore e il poeta, entrambi bolognesi, avevano originariamente composto undici brani destinati alla scena teatrale. La scelta di ridurli a soli sei per la pubblicazione su LP segna, al tempo stesso, il culmine e la rottura della loro collaborazione. Una decisione che rende oggi necessario riscoprire anche le cinque canzoni escluse, fondamentali per comprendere appieno la portata sociale e politica della loro visione del rapporto tra l'uomo e l'automobile.Quando uscì, l'album fu accolto come un'opera anomala, difficile, profondamente politica. Lontano dalle logiche commerciali della discografia dell'epoca, il disco si configurava come un affresco critico della società industriale italiana, in cui l'automobile non era semplice oggetto di desiderio o simbolo di progresso, ma dispositivo culturale, sociale e ideologico. Le recensioni dell'epoca ne sottolineavano la natura spiazzante: un concept album che smontava il mito dell'automobile proprio mentre questo raggiungeva la sua massima espansione. Nelle parole di Roversi e nelle musiche di Dalla, l'automobile è teatro di contraddizioni: promessa di libertà e insieme strumento di alienazione, icona di modernità e al tempo stesso segno di crisi industriale, simbolo di potere e oggetto destinato al declino. A distanza di cinquant'anni, Automobili si rivela un'opera sorprendentemente attuale. In un presente segnato dalla transizione ecologica, dalla ridefinizione dei modelli di mobilità e da un ripensamento radicale del rapporto tra uomo, tecnologia e ambiente, il “futuro incompleto” evocato dal disco appare come una chiave di lettura potente per interpretare il nostro tempo. La mostra nasce dunque come un dispositivo interpretativo: non una celebrazione nostalgica, ma un campo di tensione tra passato e presente. Le canzoni diventano matrici narrative che attivano una pluralità di linguaggi – automobili, materiali d'archivio, immagini, suoni, illustrazioni – per costruire un racconto stratificato, capace di attraversare storia, cultura pop, industria, immaginario e critica sociale.Installation view. Ph. PerottinoIn esposizione materiali originali provenienti dall'archivio di Antonio Bagnoli - nipote di Roberto Roversi - e dedicati all'universo di Automobili e alla collaborazione tra Lucio Dalla e il poeta: programmi di sala e locandine dello spettacolo teatrale Il futuro dell'automobile (1976), taccuini manoscritti di Roberto Roversi con testi e scalette preparatorie, lettere autografe tra Dalla e Roversi, documenti legati alla richiesta dello pseudonimo “Norisso” presso la SIAE, articoli e interviste pubblicate sulla stampa dell'epoca, oltre a testi originali delle canzoni e materiali audiovisivi tratti dal programma televisivo Automobili andato in onda nel 1977. Un corpus eterogeneo che restituisce il clima culturale, artistico e politico in cui nacque uno dei progetti più radicali e visionari della canzone italiana degli anni Settanta. Accanto ai documenti, due vetture - la Alfa Romeo tipo B P3 del 1932 e la Autobianchi Bianchina 4 posti del 1967 - che, accostate, restituiscono la parabola culturale dell'automobile italiana: da simbolo eroico e visionario a presenza diffusa e contraddittoria della modernità contemporanea. La prima rimanda direttamente alla dimensione epica evocata nel brano Nuvolari e, più in generale, al racconto della velocità come mito moderno. È l'automobile delle corse, dell'eroismo individuale, delle Mille Miglia e dei grandi piloti celebrati nel disco: una macchina estrema, simbolo di un'Italia che costruisce il proprio immaginario tecnologico e sportivo attraverso figure leggendarie e imprese collettive. La Bianchina rappresenta invece l'altra faccia del racconto: l'automobile popolare, accessibile, entrata nella vita quotidiana degli italiani durante il boom economico. È la vettura delle famiglie, delle periferie, delle vacanze e della motorizzazione di massa che Dalla e Roversi osservano criticamente in Automobili, tra alienazione urbana, ingorghi, consumi e trasformazioni del paesaggio sociale.Con il patrocinio diMinistero della CulturaRegione PiemonteCittà di TorinoFondazione Lucio DallaDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarehttps://ilpostodelleparole.it/

En la actualidad, el automóvil parece tener fecha de caducidad: baterías que pierden capacidad, sistemas de AdBlue que se bloquean y electrónica diseñada para durar lo justo. Sin embargo, existió una "Edad del Hierro" —entre mediados de los 80 y principios de los 2000— donde el objetivo de la ingeniería era la durabilidad extrema. Estos son los 10 motores diésel que, con un mantenimiento básico, pueden sobrevivir a varios dueños. ¿Por qué ya no se fabrican así? La clave está en el estrés mecánico. Antiguamente, un bloque de 2.5 litros entregaba unos conservadores 90 CV. Hoy, motores de 1.5 litros deben entregar 150 CV para cumplir con las normativas, lo que triplica el esfuerzo térmico de los materiales. Además, se ha sustituido la robusta fundición de hierro por aleaciones de aluminio para ahorrar peso, sacrificando la estabilidad térmica a largo plazo. Listado de los 10 motores "Inmortales": Mercedes-Benz OM602 (1984-2002): El cinco cilindros atmosférico que convirtió al W124 en leyenda. Su bomba inyectora mecánica Bosch, lubricada por el propio aceite del motor, lo hace inmune a fallos electrónicos. Nissan TD27 (1985-2007): Famoso por equipar al Terrano II. Su gran hito técnico es la distribución por cascada de piñones; no hay correas ni cadenas que cambiar, lo que elimina el mantenimiento crítico. Volkswagen 1.9 TDI (AFN/AVG) (1991-2010): El motor que redefinió el diésel. Con inyección directa y bloque de fundición, demostró en el sector del taxi que superar el millón de kilómetros era una meta alcanzable. Fiat 1.9 JTD (8 válvulas) (1997-2012): El pionero del Common Rail. Su culata de 8 válvulas es térmicamente más estable que las versiones modernas, ofreciendo una fiabilidad que le permitió sobrevivir en marcas como Opel, Saab o Alfa Romeo. Toyota 1HD-FTE (1998-2007): Un bloque de seis cilindros y 4.2 litros con componentes sobredimensionados. Es una mecánica de camión adaptada al Land Cruiser, capaz de entregar un par motor inmenso con un desgaste mínimo. PSA 2.0 HDi (DW10) (1998-2015): La cima de Peugeot y Citroën antes de la complejidad de los sistemas anticontaminación modernos. Un motor de gestión conservadora, famoso por su suavidad y su bajísimo consumo. BMW M57 (1998-2013): Un seis cilindros en línea que combinó rendimiento deportivo con longevidad. Salvo por el mantenimiento preventivo de las mariposas de admisión, es un motor capaz de devorar la Autobahn durante décadas. Volvo D5 2.4 (2001-2015): De diseño 100% sueco, este cinco cilindros destaca por su robustez ante climas extremos y una arquitectura diseñada para aguantar altas presiones sin fatiga. Honda 2.2 i-CTDI (2003-2009): Un prodigio de refinamiento japonés. Sin correas y fabricado con aluminio de alta presión, demostró que un diésel podía ser tan silencioso y equilibrado como un motor de gasolina. Mercedes-Benz OM642 V6 (2005-2021): El último gran V6 de la marca. Un motor diseñado para el confort de marcha y los trayectos infinitos, capaz de superar los 800.000 kilómetros manteniendo un estándar de lujo. Consejos para mantener un diésel eterno Para que estos motores alcancen su máximo potencial, es vital vigilar la acumulación de carbonilla mediante trayectos largos por carretera, no escatimar en la calidad del aceite y revisar el estado de los manguitos de caucho, que son los únicos componentes que envejecen antes que el metal del bloque. Conclusión Apostar por estas mecánicas es, en definitiva, una apuesta por la ingeniería que respetaba al propietario y se rebelaba contra la obsolescencia programada.

A menudo nos cuentan que las grandes marcas de lujo desaparecieron por las secuelas de la Segunda Guerra Mundial o la falta de materiales. Si bien algo de eso es cierto, el verdadero "tiro de gracia" no vino de las bombas, sino de las calculadoras de los inspectores de la hacienda pública. En la Europa de finales de los años 40, países como Francia, Italia o España necesitaban dinero urgente para la reconstrucción. Los gobiernos decidieron que el automóvil de alta gama era un símbolo de estatus que debía pagar la factura. Se crearon sistemas fiscales tan agresivos contra la cilindrada y el lujo que fabricar o poseer un coche de este tipo se convirtió en una imposibilidad económica. Fue una criba selectiva donde el Estado decidió quién vivía y quién moría. El dirigismo francés y el Plan Pons En 1945, Francia diseñó el Plan Pons. El Estado decidió qué fabricaba cada marca para evitar la competencia "inútil". A gigantes como Renault o Citroën se les asignaron los utilitarios, pero a las marcas de lujo simplemente se les negó el acceso a materias primas como el acero o el caucho. Si un motor superaba los dos litros de cilindrada, no había materiales para él. El lujo fue tachado de "antipatriótico". El fin de los mitos: Bugatti, Delahaye y Talbot-Lago Ettore Bugatti intentó revivir su marca tras la guerra, pero se topó con los "caballos fiscales asesinos". La fórmula francesa para pagar impuestos penalizaba brutalmente el diámetro de los cilindros. Poseer un Bugatti te ponía automáticamente en la lista negra de Hacienda. Delahaye, por su parte, sufrió un impuesto al lujo que alcanzaba el 60% del valor del vehículo. Los clientes, por muy acaudalados que fueran, no estaban dispuestos a pagar tres coches para llevarse uno solo. Por otro lado, Talbot-Lago, a pesar de ganar en Le Mans en 1950, no pudo sobrevivir a una ley que obligaba a pagar fortunas anuales solo por el derecho a circular con motores de alta cilindrada. El caso español: De Hispano-Suiza a Pegaso En España, el régimen decidió que el país necesitaba camiones y no deportivos para la aristocracia. Hispano-Suiza, que competía de tú a tú con Rolls-Royce, sufrió una fiscalidad asfixiante y trabas a la importación hasta que fue nacionalizada forzosamente en 1946 para crear ENASA. Los ingenieros que diseñaban los mejores motores del mundo terminaron fabricando los camiones Pegaso. Incluso el Pegaso Z-102, una joya técnica española, nació herido. Aunque era un coche estatal usado como propaganda, Hacienda le aplicaba impuestos de importación de lujo, haciendo que cada unidad vendida fuera una pérdida de dinero y una pesadilla burocrática para el comprador. La democratización forzosa en Italia En Italia, Alfa Romeo e Isotta Fraschini sufrieron destinos similares bajo el control estatal. El gobierno italiano obligó a Alfa Romeo a abandonar sus modelos artesanales "fuoriserie" para centrarse en la producción en cadena con el modelo 1900, buscando cobrar impuestos por volumen de ventas en lugar de por exclusividad. Isotta Fraschini, el máximo símbolo del prestigio italiano, vio cómo se le negaban créditos y se le imponían tasas de exportación imposibles, liquidando su división de automóviles en 1949. Conclusión La desaparición de estas marcas supuso el fin de una era donde el automóvil era considerado un arte artesanal. Las decisiones políticas priorizaron la motorización masiva y la recaudación rápida, enterrando nombres que hoy son leyendas de museo. Al olvidar estas lecciones del pasado, corremos el riesgo de repetir los mismos errores en el presente, donde la fiscalidad vuelve a ser la herramienta principal para moldear —o destruir— la industria automotriz.

Indbegrebet af Alfa Romeo - Hvilken model fortæller præcist, hvad Alfa Romeo er og står for?Det er ikke nødvendigvis den dyreste, hurtigste eller mest kendte Alfa, men den model, der stiller med mest milanesisk DNA.Dette auto-eksistentialistiske spørgsmål giver tre inkarnerede bilsnobber deres bud på i denne udgave af Bilsnobberne. Hele panelet har naturligvis kørt Alfa Romeo, dog ligger Adams sidste Alfa Romeo vist nok tilbage i tiden, en gang før både VM i Mexico, Kartoffelkuren og TV2. Hvilket dog ikke holder ham tilbage fra at mene noget. Altså det han selv kalder en bedre tid, vi andre fortid.Tilgangen og analysen er forskellig, valgene delvist varierende, men de tre – Mikkel Brodin, Adam Estrup og Stefan Kaas – er dog helt enige om tre ting: Farvevalg: Rosso Alfa Fælge: Standard Campagnolo Fremtid: No futureDe starter fra starten, dvs. i 1910, og Adam får, som Bilsnobbernes Piet van Deurs, nøjagtig tre minutter til at bringe historien op i nærheden af mands minde. Det lykkes nogenlunde og med kun ganske få tilråb fra Mikkel og Stefan.Vi kommer i udsendelsen desuden gennem tekniske lyksaligheder som Twin Spark og transaksler, en kortere diskussion om velour kontra fløjl samt spørgsmålet om, der vitterlig er flere kurver på et skakbræt end på en Alfa 75?Lyt med og find derudover ud af, hvilken bilsnobs model, der vinder. Og lad os høre hvad dit bud på den mest rigtige Alfa Romeo er? Kan den have anden farve end Rosso Alfa?Tak fordi I lytter med, liker og skriver.

Néhány olyan márkával ellentétben, amelyek elsősorban a kényelemre, a dizájnra vagy a technológiára összpontosítanak, az Alfa Romeo továbbra is a sokkal érzelmesebb megközelítést fogja előnyben részesíteni. Gilles Vidal, a Stellantis új formatervezési igazgatója szerint a DNS egyértelmű: egy Alfa Romeót mindenekelőtt érezni kell.

De contouren van het nieuwe strategische plan van Stellantis zijn gelekt. Stellantis gaat investeringen toespitsen op vier kernmerken: Jeep, Ram, Peugeot en Fiat. Dat zeggen meerdere bronnen tegen persbureau Reuters. Het zou gaan om een 'aanzienlijke verhoging' van de financiering voor deze merken. De andere merken binnen het concern, denk aan Citroën, Opel, Alfa Romeo, krijgen geld om modellen te bouwen met behulp van technologie van de vier kernmerken en gaan zich regionaal of nationaal oriënteren, of alleen in specifieke markten opereren. Stellantis presenteert het strategisch plan op 21 mei. Bloomberg meldde gisteren dat vier Europese fabrieken in de etalage staan.

En este vídeo analizamos a fondo lo que he decidido titular como "la estafa de los nuevos Premium". Un fenómeno que se ha vuelto descaradamente evidente tras la crisis de los microchips y la pandemia de 2020. Los fabricantes han aprendido una lección peligrosa para el bolsillo del consumidor: es mucho más rentable vender menos unidades, pero a un precio mucho más alto. Mucho más alto. Históricamente, las marcas generalistas como Citroën, Fiat, Hyundai o Seat vivían de la economía de escala: fabricar millones de coches con un margen de beneficio pequeño por unidad. Sin embargo, el paradigma ha cambiado radicalmente en 2024 y 2025. Grupos como Stellantis o Mercedes-Benz reportan beneficios récord a pesar de vender menos volumen. El "truco" consiste en disfrazar modelos básicos como vehículos de alta gama mediante equipamiento superficial y estrategias de marketing "aspiracional". El triunfo del maquillaje sobre la ingeniería El concepto de lujo ha mutado de forma preocupante. Ya no se busca la sofisticación técnica, el ajuste milimétrico o la durabilidad mecánica, sino el impacto visual inmediato. Las marcas están sustituyendo a los ingenieros de chasis por expertos en "estilo de vida". Te venden una "experiencia vital conectada" para que dejes de preguntar por el tipo de motor o si el eje trasero es multibrazo. Hoy, el lujo se mide en pulgadas de pantalla y en la cantidad de colores disponibles para la luz ambiental. Genealogía de plataformas: El esqueleto compartido Uno de los puntos clave de este ahorro de costes invisible es el uso de las plataformas modulares. Son, básicamente, un mecano gigante. Tomemos como ejemplo la plataforma MQB del Grupo Volkswagen: es la base tanto para un Skoda Fabia de precio contenido como para un Audi TT o un VW Arteon que triplican su coste. Pagas un sobreprecio enorme por la "piel", pero el esqueleto es exactamente el mismo que el del coche de tu vecino. Lo mismo ocurre con la plataforma CMP / STLA Small de Stellantis. Es la base del Peugeot 208, el Opel Corsa, el Jeep Avenger y el nuevo Lancia Ypsilon. Si quitamos la carrocería, serían indistinguibles. Cinco marcas, cinco precios distintos, pero una sola alma técnica. Incluso marcas como BMW han sacrificado su ADN, abandonando la propulsión trasera en sus modelos de acceso para compartir la plataforma UKL con Mini. El resultado es que un Serie 1 actual tiene más en común con un Mini Countryman que con las legendarias "máquinas de conducir" que forjaron la leyenda de la marca bávara. El "truco" de lo aspiracional y los motores compartidos Las marcas han popularizado el término "aspiracional" como un sustituto descafeinado de "Premium". Analizamos casos flagrantes donde el maquillaje intenta justificar precios desorbitados: -Cupra: Un éxito de marketing que logra que pagues miles de euros extra por un Seat León con pintura mate y detalles en color cobre. Mecánicamente, es el mismo coche con más "postureo". -DS Automobiles: Bajo el cuero con costuras de diamante de un DS 7, a menudo late un motor 1.2 PureTech de tres cilindros que podrías encontrar en una furgoneta de reparto. -Alpine: El espectacular A110 utiliza mandos de luces y satélites de audio de un Renault Clio IV en un coche que ronda los 75.000 euros. La pérdida de identidad llega hasta el corazón del vehículo. Hoy, el emblema en el capó no garantiza una mecánica exclusiva. El polémico motor 1.3 de gasolina desarrollado entre Mercedes y Renault (bloque M282) lo monta desde un humilde Dacia Duster hasta un Mercedes Clase A. Mercedes afirma que ellos "lo ponen a punto", pero el bloque de hierro es el mismo. ¿Pagarías por un reloj suizo de lujo si supieras que su maquinaria es un cuarzo básico? China y la obsolescencia digital La irrupción de los fabricantes chinos ha terminado de poner en evidencia a las marcas tradicionales. Marcas como Zeekr u Omoda ofrecen interiores con doble acristalamiento y procesadores de última generación a precio de generalista europeo. Han entendido que el cliente actual valora más un "gadget" que un motor. Un ejemplo brillante de marketing es llamar "piel vegana" a la polipiel sintética de toda la vida para que parezca un avance ecológico y exclusivo. Precedentes históricos: El pecado original Aunque aprovechar piezas viene de lejos, antes era una anécdota de ingeniería. Desde el De Tomaso Pantera con pilotos de Alfa Romeo hasta el Lamborghini Diablo, que usaba los faros de un Nissan 300ZX tapados con una moldura de carbono. Incluso el Jaguar XJ220, el coche más rápido de su época, utilizaba los retrovisores de un Citroën CX por pura eficiencia aerodinámica. La diferencia es que antes se hacía para mejorar el rendimiento o por economía de escala en piezas secundarias; hoy se hace para maximizar el beneficio disfrazando la mediocridad.

Spike and Zuckerman hold down the garage, while Jonny is lost somewhere in Austin. Zuckerman rolls in a pristine 1968 Alfa Romeo GT Junior (factory plastic still on the seats) and Brian Finster from Sotheby's Motorsport stops by to talk high-end online car auctions. Also on the docket: California's Montana car registration tax evasion crackdown, the new Porsche 911 Turbo S putting GT3 buyers in an existential crisis, and somehow... funeral home horror stories. ______________________________________________

This week on America on the Road, roomy SUVs go under the microscope. Host Jack Nerad tests the family-focused 2026 Hyundai Ioniq 9 SEL AWD, Hyundai’s newest three-row electric SUV. And co-host Chris Teague details his week-long experience in the luxurious 2026 Lincoln Navigator. The hosts also discuss key industry developments, including Honda’s reverse exports and federal oversight of autonomous vehicles. Plus, Jack sits down with Cameron Creighton, an expert on the 2026 Toyota C-HR and bZ Woodland, to explore Toyota’s latest compact crossover and electric SUV offerings.

La temporada de 1982 se mantiene en la memoria de los aficionados como un ecosistema irrepetible, un momento fugaz donde la creatividad de los ingenieros no tenía más límite que el horizonte de su propia imaginación. Fue el año de la "Anarquía Mecánica", una época en la que convivían motores de 4, 6, 8 y 12 cilindros, de 1,5 o 3,0 litros, con o sin turbo. Hoy, la Fórmula 1 está encorsetada por reglamentos que definen hasta la última aleación de los tornillos, pero a principios de los 80, el reglamento permitía una diversidad que hoy nos parece ciencia ficción. El Contexto: El Salvaje Oeste de la FIA y la FOCA Para entender por qué 1982 fue tan especial, hay que comprender el caos político de la época. La FIA representaba el poder político y la tradición, mientras que la FOCA, la asociación de constructores liderada por Bernie Ecclestone, luchaba por el control comercial y técnico. El campo de batalla era el reglamento, donde chocaban dos conceptos irreconciliables: la "Vieja Guardia", que defendía los motores atmosféricos de 3.000 cm³, y la "Revolución", que apostaba por los pequeños motores turbo de 1.500 cm³. La norma de equivalencia de 2 a 1 (un motor turbo de la mitad de cilindrada que un atmosférico) databa de 1966, pero durante años nadie se atrevió a usarla porque los turbos eran pesados y poco fiables. Todo cambió cuando Renault, en 1977, decidió que el futuro pasaba por la sobrealimentación. En 1982, esa apuesta explotó en una diversidad de arquitecturas que nunca hemos vuelto a ver en una misma línea de meta. Los 4 Cilindros: De la calle a la gloria Comenzamos por lo que parece más contraintuitivo: ¿un motor de 4 cilindros en la cima del automovilismo? Aunque hoy nos suene a coche de calle, en 1982 los "cuatros" eran las bestias más violentas de la historia. El genio Paul Rosche creó una leyenda con el equipo Brabham: el BMW M12/13. Lo más increíble es que no diseñó un bloque desde cero. Utilizó el bloque de hierro fundido del motor M10 que montaban los BMW 1500 de calle. La leyenda cuenta que los ingenieros buscaban bloques usados con más de 100.000 kilómetros porque, si un bloque de fundición aguanta esa distancia, las tensiones internas del metal ya se han liberado y es prácticamente irrompible. En 1982, este motor entregaba unos 640 CV en carrera, pero su entrega de potencia era como un interruptor. Debido al enorme turbo lag, no había nada de empuje en bajas revoluciones, y de repente llegaba todo el soplido del turbo KKK. Años más tarde, en configuración de clasificación, estos bloques llegaron a superar los 1.000 CV. Una locura extraída de un motor de "taxi". No era el único; Brian Hart, un preparador artesanal, logró con un presupuesto minúsculo crear un motor monobloque de aluminio que permitió a un joven Ayrton Senna demostrar su talento bajo la lluvia. 6 Cilindros: El equilibrio de los Gigantes Si los 4 cilindros eran la apuesta radical, los V6 Turbo se convirtieron en la opción lógica para los grandes fabricantes. Eran más cortos que los V8, lo que permitía a los diseñadores de chasis optimizar los túneles Venturi para el "efecto suelo". Renault fue la pionera con su V6 a 90º, una obra de arte que, sin embargo, seguía arrastrando fama de fragilidad. Los llamaban "las teteras amarillas" porque solían terminar las carreras envueltos en vapor. Ferrari respondió con el 126C2 y un V6 con una apertura de 120º. Era un motor extremadamente plano que bajaba el centro de gravedad al máximo. Con más de 600 CV y un chasis sublime, era probablemente el mejor coche de la parrilla, aunque la tragedia de Gilles Villeneuve y las lesiones de Didier Pironi impidieron que este motor dominara como merecía. Los 8 y 12 Cilindros: Tradición y Melodía Mientras los gigantes gastaban millones en turbos, los equipos británicos confiaban en el Ford Cosworth DFV. Este V8 atmosférico de 3 litros databa de 1967 y solo entregaba unos 520 CV, cien menos que los turbos. Sin embargo, era ligero, barato y fiable. Finalmente, estaban los románticos con los V12 atmosféricos de Alfa Romeo y Matra. Eran motores exquisitos por su suavidad y producían el sonido más bello de la historia del automovilismo, un aullido metálico que ponía los pelos de punta. Pero tenían un problema físico: eran demasiado largos. El Legado de una Época Irrepetible La temporada de 1982 fue única porque fue el punto exacto donde dos eras se cruzaron. Nunca más hemos vuelto a ver tal disparidad de soluciones bajo una misma bandera a cuadros. Fue una época de inventos locos, como los combustibles basados en tolueno similares a los de los cazas de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, o la inyección de agua de Ferrari para enfriar los pistones.

1. El Milagro de la AutarquíaContexto: En una España de posguerra, hambrienta y aislada, el régimen funda ENASA (1946) sobre los restos de Hispano-Suiza.Misión: Mientras la fábrica debía hacer camiones para reconstruir el país, Wifredo Ricart convenció al Estado de crear un "laboratorio volante" para formar ingenieros y ganar prestigio internacional.La Rivalidad: Forjada en Alfa Romeo, donde Enzo Ferrari despreciaba el academicismo de Ricart.La Tesis: El Z-102 nació para demostrar que Ricart podía superar a Ferrari en tecnología: un V8 de aleación ligera frente a los V12 clásicos de Enzo.Motor V8: Construido en Silumin, con cuatro árboles de levas (DOHC) accionados por engranajes y válvulas rellenas de sodio líquido.Arquitectura: Fue pionero en la disposición transaxle (caja de cambios trasera) para un reparto de pesos perfecto, y el eje De Dion con una curiosa rueda de guiado lateral.Complejidad: Era tan compacto que, para un simple ajuste de válvulas, a veces había que extraer el motor completo.Touring (Milán): Suspendió el peso a 990 kg usando el método Superleggera (aluminio sobre tubos de acero).Saoutchik (París): Representó el barroco francés con diseños extravagantes como el de piel de leopardo y mandos de oro.ENASA: Creó el icónico "Cúpula", basado en bocetos de estudiantes sobre el coche del futuro.Le Mans (1952-1953): Marcado por el sobrecalentamiento crítico de los frenos (fading). En 1953, Juan Jover se estrelló a más de 200 km/h, lo que provocó la retirada del equipo.Jabbeke (1953): Redención en Bélgica, donde alcanzó los 243 km/h, convirtiéndose brevemente en el coche de producción más rápido del mundo.Carrera Panamericana (1954): Joaquín Palacio rodaba tercero hasta que un accidente e incendio terminaron con la aventura mexicana.Final: En 1958, ante la falta de rentabilidad y la jubilación de Ricart, la nueva dirección de ENASA ordenó la destrucción de planos, moldes y recambios.Cifra: Solo se fabricaron entre 84 y 86 unidades. Hoy sobreviven unas 30, convertidas en piezas de museo de valor incalculable.2. Ricart vs. Ferrari: Un Duelo de Egos3. Ingeniería de Vanguardia ("Relojería")4. Carroceros: Arte y Peso5.

Making an immediate impact in Formula 1 can be extremely tough. As Cadillac and Audi – one a new entity, the other having taken over Sauber – prepare for their debuts, we highlight the best performances by new teams in the history of the championship. In the latest of Autosport's Top 10s, host Kevin Turner selects the 10 best world championship debuts by teams, while renowned F1 journalist and author Maurice Hamilton decides whether or not he agrees with the ranking. For this list, we have focused on the very first grand prix for each team, rather than the whole season. We have excluded constructors that were well established when the world championship began in 1950, so no Alfa Romeo (1-2-3 on its debut) or Ferrari (second at Monaco).

Sweat Every DetailWelcome to Everyone Racers Episode 425 - It's Hhhhyyydromatic, it's the podcast for grassroots racing, low-dollar builds, endurance racing, and oddball car culture.In this episode, we sit down with Goeff Gates of Driven Garage; builder, fabricator, Lemons judge, and the guy behind a shop that proves you don't need a million-dollar budget to build something incredible.We dive into:

Der findes gode bilreklamer, nogle der er ligegyldige og dem, der er virkelig sløje.Fire Bilsnobber sat hinanden stævne for at finde de bedste og den værste.Nils Hartmann, panelets Methusalem med både Weekendavis og automotiv mancave i Måløv, får for en sjælden ros for at tage en MGB med – der så, for første gang, heller ikke er hans egen. Som gammel reklamemand kan han imidlertid ikke udholde tidernes forfald og fik forstyrret julefreden af en Audi-reklame i sin (papir udgaven naturligvis) Weekendavis, som panelets øvrige deltagere er enige med ham i, kun taler til de nærige og andre Tesla-ejere.Nicolai Richter-Friis, der til daglig frister en kummerlig arkitekttilværelse og derudover er lidt af en Porsche-fanboy, har til alles store overraskelse en Volvo-reklame med. Der er dog også en Lamborghini med i samme reklame (da Nicolai bor i Rungsted er han lovlig undskyldt, de elsker nemlig den slags deroppe). Nicolai har selvfølgelig også en 911 reklame med. Ligesom en lidt kønnet käfer-reklame, der i dag nok ville afstedkomme en mindre shitstorm.Adam Estrup, autoriseret podcast-medvært og skønlitterær forfatter med seriøst begrænset kommerciel succes, stiller også med noget fra Porsche, og som alle, til hans overraskelse, faktisk er enige i er en god reklame. Han rykker dog over i det hækmotoriserede med en fantasifuld, men lettere usandsynlig Skoda-reklame fra det skotske højland.Stefan Kaas, podcastens ungdommelige, men (endog meget) reaktionære vært, lægger trumf på bordet fra starten med en Alfa Romeo-reklame lavet af ingen ringere end Magritte (ham med piben, der ikke er en pibe). Fra da af går det dog lettere ned af bakke, ikke mindst da Stefan skal præsentere den måske mest prætentiøse BMW-reklame nogensinde – hvor forhjulstræk, Berlingo-opbygning og lav pris bliver præsenteret som Münchener-DNA.Lyt med og hør også om det virkelig er rigtigt, at Adam kan se, hvor meget jord folk ejer på baggrund af deres påklædning, eller om det virkelig er rigtigt, at Audi egenhændigt har ødelagt både rallysporten og Le Mans.  Tak fordi I lytter med, liker, skriver, og abonnerer.

2025 has come to a close - and it's another year-end episode reflecting on the best and worst cars Jason and Derek have encountered this year. Maximum Carmudgeonation is achieved today, so hold onto your hats - and we guarantee, you've never listened to another podcast where the Vinfast VF8 and McLaren F1 are both mentioned. === Visit http://JasonSentMe.com to get a Hagerty Guaranteed Value (TM) collector-car insurance quote! === Before getting into the thick of it, Jason updates us on his MK3 Volkswagen Cabrio VR6 swap - with the 2.slow and the rest of the front + rear subframes out, we learn one other MK3 (Jetta GLX) has been sacrificed in the name of top-down VR6 burnouts. A myth is busted - Harbor Freight plastic carts don't appear to be makeshift engine stands after all. But they do explode catastrophically! Derek also goes over some highlights of another year dealing cars at OTS - with sales and consignments including the likes of the Ferrari F50, Porsche Carrera GT, and an array of modern Ferrari Challenge cars (360 Challenge Stradale, F430 Scuderia, and 458 Speciale to name a few). He also reflects on a changing market - moving away from 60s Ferraris like 250 Lusso and 330 GTC. Jason begins with his first wave highlights - including but not limited to: Lancia Stratos, Lancia Thema 8.32, Cizeta-Moroder V16T, Saab 9000 Aero, Alfa Romeo 164 Quadrifoglio, E34 BMW M5 with an S70B56 swap, the Kwiek Classics Mercedes-Benz CLK63 AMG Black Series 6-Speed, Ford Sierra Cosworth, Merkur XR4Ti, Jeep Cherokee, and of course Derek's recently acquired Mk1 Jaguar. Derek follows with the Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint Speciale, RUF Tribute, Kimera EVO37, the Toyota 2000GT, and more recently the Porsche 911 IROC RSR (to be further explored on a future episode…) Jason remarks on many of the the other great cars he's driven for various Revelations, Ultimate Drag Race, and Ultimate Lap Battle episodes, including the Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 (C8 and C4), Porsche 992 GT3 RS, Ford Mustang GTD, Ford GT (both generations), W204 Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG (including the Anderzen manual swap), Alpine A110, Audi RS6 Avant, and the Porsche Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid (the BMW M5 Touring was unfortunately not so good). But not to worry- plenty of Carmudgeonation goes down - with roasts of the automatic Porsche 996 Turbo, BMW i3 and i8, the ND2 Mazda Miata, and even Jason's own MK3 Cabrio (while it still had its 2.slow). All this and more, on this week's end-of-2025 finale of The Carmudgeon Show. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Nel 1964 un camion carico di dischi freno inglesi destinati ad Alfa Romeo si ribalta lungo la strada. Lì vicino, un'officina fondata da Emilio Bombassei con i figli Sergio e Alberto e il cognato Italo Breda, è pronta ad aiutarli. Non solo li riparano rimettendoli in sesto ma li fanno funzionare meglio di prima: è da qui che nasce la storia di Brembo, oggi leader del settore nello sviluppo e nella produzione di impianti frenanti. Brembo è la prima impresa che raccontiamo in questo nuovo spin off di Actually, realizzato in collaborazione con BCG, in cui ripercorriamo le storia delle aziende italiane che hanno fatto la Storia industriale del nostro Paese.

Spike and the crew clarify the confusion around the state of Jaguar, discuss the most expensive cars of 2025, and share a bizarre story of a man found in the back of a Waymo vehicle. The highlight? Discovering random pliers in Zuckerman's 1951 Porsche 356 engine bay. ______________________________________________

Le terme peut surprendre à l'ère des moteurs hybrides, des simulateurs et des millions de données analysées en temps réel. Pourtant, son origine est profondément liée à l'histoire du sport automobile.À l'origine, une écurie est tout simplement un lieu où l'on abrite, nourrit et entretient des chevaux. Or, lorsque l'automobile fait ses premiers pas à la fin du XIXᵉ siècle, elle ne remplace pas brutalement le cheval : elle s'inscrit dans sa continuité. Les premières courses automobiles sont organisées par des passionnés issus du monde équestre, et le vocabulaire suit naturellement.Au début du XXᵉ siècle, les voitures de course sont souvent financées, entretenues et engagées par de riches industriels ou aristocrates, à la manière des propriétaires de chevaux de course. Ces mécènes disposent d'ateliers, de mécaniciens et de pilotes, exactement comme un propriétaire possède des chevaux, des palefreniers et des jockeys. On parle alors d'écuries automobiles, par analogie directe avec les écuries hippiques.Le parallèle va encore plus loin. Dans les courses de chevaux, une écurie peut aligner plusieurs chevaux dans une même compétition, tout en poursuivant une stratégie globale. En Formule 1, une écurie engage plusieurs voitures, gère ses pilotes, définit des tactiques de course et cherche à maximiser ses chances de victoire. Le terme s'impose donc naturellement pour désigner une structure organisée, bien plus qu'un simple véhicule.Lorsque la Formule 1 est officiellement créée en 1950, le vocabulaire est déjà bien installé. Des noms mythiques apparaissent : Ferrari, Maserati, Alfa Romeo. Ferrari, d'ailleurs, adopte comme emblème le cheval cabré, directement hérité de l'aviation militaire italienne, mais parfaitement cohérent avec cet imaginaire équestre déjà omniprésent.Avec le temps, les écuries deviennent de véritables entreprises industrielles et technologiques. Elles emploient des centaines, parfois des milliers de personnes, développent leurs propres moteurs, châssis et logiciels. Pourtant, le mot écurie reste. Pourquoi ? Parce qu'il ne désigne plus un lieu physique, mais une identité sportive, un collectif uni autour d'un objectif commun : gagner.Aujourd'hui encore, parler d'écurie permet de rappeler que la Formule 1 n'est pas qu'une affaire de pilotes stars. C'est un sport d'équipe, où la coordination, la stratégie et la préparation sont essentielles — comme dans une écurie de course hippique.En somme, si l'on parle d'écuries en Formule 1, c'est parce que ce sport moderne garde, dans ses mots, la mémoire de ses origines. Une preuve que même à 300 km/h, l'histoire n'est jamais bien loin. Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.

This week's episode topic comes from a listener-submitted AMA request - one worthy of its own episode. They ask - what single metric about a car's driving experience tells you the most before you drive it? === Visit http://JasonSentMe.com to get a Hagerty Guaranteed Value (TM) collector-car insurance quote!  === At first, you may think there's one straightforward answer. But you'd be wrong. Discussion begins with Jason's MK1 Volkswagen Cabriolet - a car he claims is the most fun he's ever driven. Derek roughly agrees - but counters with the Peugeot 205 Rallye, and much more substantially - the McLaren F1. But how can a nearly 40 year old subcompact convertible be as rewarding to drive as a hypercar? Mass seems like the obvious answer - but a 4000 lb car from today can often out-dance a 2000 lb car from 35 years ago. Take a Lotus Elise (perhaps, with a small cow in it) and a Rivian R1T - both will dance around a race track in a much more similarly than differently vs. any car and truck combination from even 10 years ago. Having covered that base, Jason and Derek explore other possibilities - including peak horsepower per RPM and engine configuration. Derek recalls a time when Alfa Romeo stuffed their Twin Cam four cylinder in everything from GTVs to large Ambulances - simply because it was a such a good engine despite whatever weight it was tasked to pull around. Jason decides to ask AI what it thinks, answering (oddly) with the Toyota Matrix, Honda Fit, and Nissan Versa. On theme with the MK1 Cabriolet, the boys discuss structural rigidity - which leads to another exploration of convertibles ranging from 996 Porsche 911 Cabriolet, to BMW Z3M, Mercedes-Benz SLK, and of course- the Nissan Murano Cross-Cabriolet. There's an answer for everyone out there - and more on this episode of The Carmudgeon Show. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Did you know a single Formula 1 car produces 1.1 million data points every second from hundreds of sensors? That number alone sets the tone for this conversation with Ruth Buscombe, an F1 strategist, analyst, and F1TV presenter whose work sits at the meeting point of engineering precision and real time storytelling. We met at AWS re:Invent in Las Vegas, and her insights into how much pressure, judgment, and creativity are wrapped inside each decision brought the sport to life in a fresh way for anyone who has ever stared at a dashboard of metrics and wondered what really matters. This discussion goes far deeper than split times and tyre choices. Ruth explains how AWS and F1 are rethinking race strategy through real time insights and cloud compute, from TrackPulse and root-cause analysis all the way to predictive graphics that let commentary teams spot a race-defining moment before it happens. She also reflects on the sport's changing culture, the growth of new fan communities, and the shift from old telemetry to modern systems that process millions of data points every second. Her stories from the paddock at Ferrari, Alfa Romeo, and F1TV help frame just how intense the job can be when 12,000ths of a second separate pole from second place. There are moments in this conversation that remind us that F1 strategy is as much about human pattern recognition as it is about machine intelligence, and that the strongest engineers find ways to absorb pressure without losing their instinct. What stood out most was how clearly Ruth links F1 to decision making in every industry. Whether she is talking about marginal gains, pattern detection, or the discipline needed to separate noise from signal, her examples make perfect sense to both race fans and tech leaders. She shares how AWS tools allow broadcasters and engineers to interpret scenarios instantly, why the sport needed to move past manual diagnosis, and how new tools even help verify whether a driver's mistake came from a small steering slide or a split-second shift error. Her passion is infectious and her explanations cut straight to the heart of what makes the blend of live racing and cloud computing work so well. As you listen, think about how your own team makes choices under pressure and ask yourself one last question. If you were in the garage making a call with the whole world watching, which signals would you trust and how fast could you act?

LUKE BROWNING TO HIT THE TRACK IN ABU DHABI FP1 AND YOUNG DRIVER TEST Atlassian Williams Racing is pleased to share that Williams Racing Academy Driver Luke Browning will drive Alex Albon's FW47 in the first free practice session at the 2025 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, and will participate in the end-of-season Young Driver Test. Luke joined the Williams Racing Driver Academy in April 2023 following his stand-out 2022 season where he secured the GB3 Championship and won the 2022 Autosport BRDC Young Driver of the Year Award. Since joining the Academy he has continued this upward trajectory, winning the Macau Grand Prix in 2023, also taking pole position and the fastest lap, and finishing the 2024 FIA Formula 3 season in third with two race wins and a podium in Monaco. As part of the Williams Racing Driver Academy's proud tradition of giving young talent a path into F1, Luke has regularly driven in the Testing of Previous Cars (TPC) and simulator programmes with the aim of preparing him for the future. He has balanced this with a successful FIA Formula 2 campaign, currently occupying third position in the standings and going into the final two races of the season in a fierce battle for the title. Luke Browning: “It's going to be an unforgettable weekend in Abu Dhabi fighting for the Formula 2 title while getting back behind the wheel of the FW47, and it's a challenge I'm going to relish. The Young Driver Test will give me a final opportunity to help the team prepare for 2026 and I'm looking forward to being part of a Formula 1 weekend for the last time this season. Thank you to everyone at the Driver Academy and Williams for the trust once again.” Sven Smeets, Sporting Director, Atlassian Williams Racing: “Luke's development continues to impress us, and we are looking forward to closing the season with him behind the wheel of the FW47. We have an incredibly talented group of drivers in the Williams Racing Driver Academy, and it is important for us to give them the opportunity to progress as they move up the ladder. These final sessions of the season will give Luke another valuable chance to learn from Alex and Carlos, the wider team, and further embed with our trackside operation as he looks towards a bright future.” Mighty Sunbeam 1000 HP to Make Post-Restoration Debut at 75th Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance  Harry Segrave beside the Sunbeam 1000 HP. (Photo: Courtesy of the National Motor. Museum) PEBBLE BEACH, CALIFORNIA (November 12, 2025)­­­­ — The mighty Sunbeam 1000 HP, the first car to achieve a land speed record of 200 mph, has been asleep for over 90 years. But a team of restorers at the National Motor Museum in Beaulieu, England, is now in the process of gently waking this giant—and if all goes as planned, the restored beast will make its US debut at the 2026 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance before attempting a centennial run at Daytona the following spring.    “The process of restoring a one-off car like this takes real dedication,” noted Concours Chairman Sandra Button. “There is no pattern to be followed. It takes time and research, effort and expertise. We are thrilled to know that the National Motor Museum intends to send the restored car to Pebble Beach, to share with enthusiasts here.”   The Sunbeam 1000 HP was built to compete in the race for speed. The 100 mph barrier was first broken in 1904, and then it took more than two decades to reach 150 mph—a record Malcolm Campbell achieved in July of 1925 at the wheel of a Sunbeam 350 HP. The Sunbeam 1000 HP, crafted around two of the marque's powerful 22.4-liter Matabele aero engines placed to the fore and aft of the vehicle, came into being less than two years later and proved to be revolutionary. Driving it on the smooth sands of Daytona Beach on March 29, 1927, Harry Segrave recorded a speed of 203.79 mph.   “This car has been at Beaulieu since before I was born and feels like a member of the family, but one I never expected to run again,” said Ralph, Lord Montagu of Beaulieu. “Watching the restoration take place has been fascinating as it has revealed so much I never knew about the car. It will be quite a thrill to have the car at Pebble Beach and is a great opportunity for us to wave the flag for the National Motor Museum!” The car's restoration is now well underway. The rear engine has already been disassembled, re-machined, restored, and refitted into the frame—and it was first fired up before an adoring crowd at the Beaulieu International Autojumble in early September. The museum team is now focused on restoring the front engine. When that, too, is back together and in place, the bodywork, which has already been restored, will be reinstalled.   “Over the last three and a half years, the Museum's team have worked tirelessly to make the mighty Sunbeam 1000 HP roar again, with help from a wide range of supporters, stakeholders and heritage engineering specialists,” said Jon Murden, Chief Executive of the National Motor Museum. “Having experienced the first of the car's remarkable engines running once more, we are all now thrilled at the prospect of the Sunbeam returning to the United States for the first time in a century.”   John, the second Baron Montagu of Beaulieu, was a motoring pioneer, who campaigned for the rights of early motorists. In the 1950s, his son Edward founded what is now the National Motor Museum to honor him, and that museum shares a long history with the Pebble Beach Concours. Edward first showed a car—his 1913 Alfonso Hispano-Suiza—at Pebble Beach in 1981, and the following year, he donated the Montagu of Beaulieu Trophy, which the Concours presents annually to the best British car shown on its competition field. Ralph, the current Lord Montagu, was in attendance at the Concours this year.   To learn more about the National Motor Museum and its efforts to restore the Sunbeam 1000 HP, go to www.nationalmotormuseum.org.uk/USA.

Nella seconda giornata di audizioni sulla Manovra si sono confrontati sindacati, associazioni d'impresa e organizzazioni agricole. La Cgil parla di "ritorno dell'austerità", mentre la Cisl valuta positivamente il risanamento dei conti ma critica rottamazione e pensioni. Confindustria sottolinea come le vere urgenze siano l'attuazione del Pnrr e il costo dell'energia, temi chiave per la competitività. Dal fronte sanità, Nino Cartabellotta (Fondazione Gimbe) denuncia un definanziamento strutturale del Servizio sanitario nazionale, con un gap cumulato di 17,5 miliardi nel 2023-26. Sul fronte sociale, il Forum del Terzo Settore apprezza alcune misure ma denuncia risorse ancora insufficienti per combattere la povertà assoluta. Lo Svimez richiama la necessità di superare il criterio della spesa storica e finanziare adeguatamente i Lep per ridurre i divari territoriali. Il commento è di Alberto Orioli, Il Sole 24 Ore.Green economy, per l'Italia una foto in bianco e neroLa Relazione sullo Stato della Green Economy 2025, presentata a Ecomondo, mostra un'Italia in bilico tra luci e ombre: emissioni di gas serra in calo troppo lento, consumi energetici in aumento, forte dipendenza dall'estero e consumo di suolo ancora elevato. L'Italia scivola dal terzo al quinto posto nella classifica europea, mentre Danimarca, Austria e Olanda guidano la transizione verde. Restano punti di forza la produzione di energia da rinnovabili (49% del totale) e il primato europeo nell'economia circolare, con un sistema di riciclo e riuso tra i migliori d'Europa. Tuttavia, la tendenza generale è di rallentamento, con progressi tra i più bassi d'Europa negli ultimi dieci anni. Ne parliamo con Gianni Silvestrini, Direttore scientifico di Kyoto Club e QualEnergia.Mercato dell'auto in stallo, la componentistica cerca alternative a StellantisIl mercato auto italiano resta debole: a ottobre le immatricolazioni calano dello 0,6% e nel periodo gennaio-ottobre segnano -2,7% rispetto al 2024, con volumi ancora inferiori del 20% rispetto al pre-Covid. Le proiezioni indicano 1,5 milioni di immatricolazioni nel 2025 (-3,6% sul 2024). Gli incentivi elettrici, esauriti in poche ore, potranno dare solo un contributo limitato. Stellantis va in controtendenza e recupera volumi grazie a Fiat, Citroën, Lancia e Alfa Romeo, ma la produzione in Italia resta in forte calo: sotto il mezzo milione di veicoli nel 2024 (-36,8%) e in ulteriore discesa nel 2025. La componentistica italiana - 2.100 imprese, 55,5 miliardi di ricavi e 168mila addetti - teme per il futuro e chiede garanzie sugli impegni industriali del gruppo e nuove strategie per sostenere la filiera nazionale. Approfondiamo il tema con Edoardo Pavesio, Presidente di Sila Group.

We recently lost Claudio Lombardi, one of the most brilliant and innovative engineers of all time. Today's episode discusses the legacy of rally-winning engines in his wake, as well as the origins of those engines in their various forms going all the way back to the early 1950s. === This episode is sponsored by Battery Tender.

We begin with a recent trip to England, where Jason & his dream team walked away with several notable awards from the International Motor Film Awards, including Best Journalism Film for the fourth time in a row! While across the pond, Jason also makes an appearance at Gordon Murray Automotive to tour the factory and meet Gordon Murray himself, who gives a nut-and-bolt rundown of the latest and greatest, including the GMA T.50, T.50s, T.33, and T.33 Spider. Jason and crew then a detour over to Gordon's personal car and motorcycle collection, including a Mercedes-Benz McLaren SLR XP and, familiarly, a Ferrari 308 GT4. Interestingly, however, most of his favorites are manual transmission, twin-cam four cylinders - which segues into this episode's main topic at hand. Derek leads us along a history of Italian twin-cam engines, in both Fiat Lampredi and Alfa Busso forms - beginning in the 1950s and continuing for nearly 50 years. The basic architecture of these engines powered everything from the Alfa Romeo Giulia to V12-powered Ferrari 275 GTB. The evolution of these engines brought both turbocharging and supercharging into the mix, and took Lancia to win many rally championships in cars like the Lancia 037 and Delta Integrale - while also ushering along many eras of notable passenger cars including but not limited to to the Alfa Romeo 164.
