Carroll Shelby

This is one of those characters that make automotive history, of those who say there has been a “before and after” from its appearance in the ever competitive world of motor. Someone starting from a very humble origins was able to establish itself as a benchmark for the fans, for his passion and his easygoing nature, nothing to do with those “gentleman drivers” so fashionable, but do not appear in the “Cauche role”.

Here it is worth repeating that trite axiom of “self-made man”, the restless mind could not stop even for a moment, the entrepreneur’s falling over and over again, to learn the lesson and get back up immediately. Since his failure as a “chicken farmer” in his native Texas to its legendary fighting in the courts with “Il Commendatore” Ferrari Enzo. Continue reading →

lancia thema diesel

The Lancia Thema 3.0 V6 CRD rescues a name already known and becomes the new model representation of the mark. Cousin of the Chrysler 300C, the question that arises is whether it can replace the thesis. The new Lancia Thema 3.0 V6 CRD is the same vehicle as the Chrysler 300 C with a few cosmetic changes there and some mechanical tweaks there. I have to admit that I find it rare to see such as Lancia, a brand purely Italian names a quite American model where you look. That size XXL, that design … This car was born in a playground of New York.

It’s a shame, as this remains a brand identity and, specifically, to a new Lancia Thema with a certain tradition. In fact, if compared with a German sedan in this test, its image is groundbreaking. There is nothing boring in their design. And that’s good because it will take to street to customers looking to get out of the norm. On the other hand, a car is quite comfortable, thanks to a chassis set-up really good to roll on highway at cruising speed. Continue reading →

Interior of higher quality

Already the first test of the driving of the A3 post shows the high quality of the interior – and at least the air exits are parallel to the Mercedes class: designers have chosen both here and there round departures of classic style jet.
