#the Alfa Romeo Museum

[carsthatnevermadeitetc]

Alfa Romeo Scarabeo II, 1973. The first Scarabeo was an experimental mid-engined sports car built by OSI for Alfa Romeo but the project was abandoned when OSI went out of business is 1967. The Scarabeo II was engineered by Giuseppe Busso using the bodywork of the Ercole Spada-designed Junior Z but with a mid-mounted DOHC 2.0 litre 4 cylinder engine. Alfa Romeo's management were not interested in pursuing the mid-engined sports car and the project died. The project is also called the Junior Z 2000 Periscopio. It's now kept at the the Alfa Romeo Museum,

Monzarella, the smell of food (salamella), fuel and suntan cream. The sunrise, the emotional waiting vibe, breathing history and being part of it. It's like a dream you remember forever. Also the Best pizza in the world, @ secret ristorante where Ricciardo goes (record : 6 pizzas in a weekend ^^). The debut of Antonelli. I also drove some cars on the circuit, huge emotion. My advice is going to ex Just Cavalli on Thursday (or Friday) for a "happy hour" aperitivo at about 19:00 (elegant or they don't let you enter), there's a lot of good free food and beautiful women in a classy location. If you want to meet some drivers, Sunday night. In those days there’s also a fair in town, dedicated to Formula 1, and other special events with Ferrari drivers and @ Milan Alfa Romeo museum with also the car that won the first (and second) F1 championship

Over the past two weekends I watched the two big movies that society collectively forgot in the wake of Barbenheimer: Indiana Jones and Mission Impossible. And let me tell you:

Yeah society was right. You don’t need to watch either.

What I find interesting is how similar both of them are. I don’t just mean the superficial stuff, like similar multi-party car chases, the addition of an English thief who has way more charisma than the aging lead, or a train sequence where the exact same Scottish Museum railroad pretends to be the Austrian alps.

(Although talking about that: I like Haley Atwell's versioning the English thief more than Phoebe Waller-Bridge's. That may partly be leftover affection from Agent Carter, but she really is that great. Mission Impossible also has a lot of Alfa Romeos in its car chase through Italy involving a Fiat 500, which means it wins by default. Even though the heroes repeatedly eschew a perfectly good Alfa Romeo 159 there in favor of some boring BMW in an obvious bit of sponsoring. The trains are mostly similar; the paint scheme in MI is slightly better but the Pennsylvanian signals are weird. I could talk more about the train there but the important thing is that I got tired of watching train cars fall down a bridge after the third one.)

But the main thing that unites them is how tired they seem. They try desperately to woo us with ridiculous implausible MacGuffins, exorbitant stunts and returning old actors. But neither of them actually has much of a story to tell. They try to make things personal for their main heroes, but ultimately it’s just the same procedure as last year or last decade. Neither movie has anything to say, they only hope to woo you with their brand names. To be fair, that did work on me, but that doesn’t mean it was a good idea on my part.

There is arguably a wider discussion to be had here; I feel very similar things about John Wick 4, a movie where several characters repeatedly say, „this movie is pointless“, or the mess that was James Bond „No Time To Die“. Make no mistake, John Wick 4 is by far the best of them, but still.

Anyway, the family members I wanted to watch Barbie with have night shift this weekend, so I can’t see it yet, but I have no doubt that it’s more interesting. If you want you can wait for Indy and Mission to come out in streaming, but I can’t even really recommend that.

Alfa Romeo shows off special tweaked livery for Monza

Alfa Romeo shows off special, tweaked livery for Monza By Balazs Szabo on 31 Aug 2023, 10:02 Just a day before action gets underway at the Italian Grand Prix, the Sauber-run Alfa Romeo team has unveiled a special, tweaked one-off livery for the Monza F1 race to celebrate the Alfa 33 Stradale. The Hinwil-based outfit will run a striking livery at Monza, paying tribute to the launch of Alfa Romeo’s latest fuoriserie car, the new 33 Stradale. Featuring the gold accents of the new 33 Stradale – themselves a nod to its illustrious namesake, an icon of the 1960s and one of the most legendary cars of Alfa Romeo’s history – and the Italian flag’s tricolore on a field of black, the livery to be used in Monza will be one that will set fans’ hearts racing. The livery was unveiled by Alfa Romeo drivers Valtteri Bottas and Zhou Guanyu, during a special event at the Alfa Romeo Museum in Arese, near Milan, to mark the launch of the new 33 Stradale. The 33 Stradale will be the centre of attention in Monza as well, with the team's two drivers unveiling the car in the team’s garage at the Italian Grand Prix on Thursday, 56 years to the day since the unveiling of the original 33 Stradale in the same location. Team Representative Alessandro Alunni Bravi commented : “As we approach our home race in Monza, it’s a pleasure to unveil this incredible livery, a true tribute not only to the 33 Stradale, but to Alfa Romeo as a whole and to the country it hails from, Italy. This livery is probably one of the most beautiful we’ve ever had on a car, and to be able to showcase it in front of our home crowd – including hundreds of our team members from Hinwil on the grandstands – is an honour for all of us. "Personally, I am excited by the references to the 33 Stradale: the original model from 1967 was an iconic car that influenced style and design for a generation and beyond, and its latest incarnation embodies all this heritage while also setting the path to the future of Alfa Romeo.” Commenting on the new livery, Alfa Romeo CEO Jean Philippe Imparato added : “With the new 33 Stradale, we wanted to create something that lived up to our past, to serve the Alfa Romeo brand and to make the Alfisti fandom proud. Such a result could only have been achieved thanks to the expertise, hard work and passion of our team, with the support of management who have the clear ambition to contribute to writing chapters in the brand’s future, in full respect of its unique history. "This is the brand’s first fuoriserie (custom-built) car since 1969, and I promise it won’t be the last. Alfa Romeo F1 Team Stake’s tribute livery embodies the spirit, the passion and the vision we have put in the 33 Stradale: it is pure, classic sportiness, and it combines looks with performance. I cannot wait to see it on track this weekend.” via F1Technical.net . Motorsport news https://www.f1technical.net/news/

Concept Cars; How Car Manufacturers Flex Their Imaginations

Since at least the 1930s, concept cars of some form have existed. Most are promptly forgotten as soon as a new group appears, but many are remembered by the public for years. Car concepts could almost entirely remain behind closed doors, or they could be used to promote the brand at a global auto show, or it could be something else entirely.

Concept Cars, The 1940 Aston Martin Atom

Originally equipped with a 2.0-liter overhead-cam engine, the Atom was a compact and strikingly designed sedan. However, in 1944, it was replaced by a pushrod engine with a slightly bigger capacity. It must have impressed David Brown (1904-1993), who drove it just before he decided to purchase the business, but a production version was never made.

Concept Cars, The 1955 Chrysler Falcon

The Falcon, a fast two-seat roadster with a 4.5-liter Chrysler Hemi V8 engine, was principally designed by Virgil Exner (1909–1973) and constructed by Ghia. It may have been a rival for both the first-generation Ford Thunderbird and the original Chevrolet Corvette, but Chrysler chose not to proceed with its release. It was unveiled two years after the first Chevrolet Corvette.

The 1968 Alfa Romeo Carabo

When Marcello Gandini created the scissor doors and low wedge shape for the mid-engined Carabo, he must have been staring straight ahead into the future. The world may not have been prepared for anything like this in the 1960s, but Alfa Romeo prevented it from progressing past the concept stage. The Carabo, however, is very similar to another vehicle that Gandini created. In contrast to the previous concept, the Lamborghini Countach went on sale in 1974. READ ALSO: Xiaomi SU7 Ultra Vehicle: Redefining Speed

The 1970 Mazda RX-500

The RX-500 initially appeared to have been created for similar purposes as the Alfa Romeo Carabo. It had a mid-mounted engine (in this instance a twin-rotor), butterfly swing doors, gullwing engine covers, and a wedge shape—albeit not nearly as severe as the Carabo's. All of this shouted "supercar!" but the RX-500 was actually designed to highlight Mazda's safety studies. It included a row of lights at the back, among other things, to let oncoming vehicles know if the vehicle was closing down, accelerating, or maintaining speed.

Concept Cars, Nissan 126X

The 126X, another wedge-shaped idea from 1970 (a lot of that kind of stuff was going on at the time), shared the Mazda RX-500's changeable rear lights. It had a slightly less supercar-like form than the Alfa Carabo or Mazda, but it was still somewhat strange. Nissan outperformed the other manufacturers in one area: the roof, windshield, and front body panels were all part of a canopy that opened from the front to provide access to the cabin.

Concept Cars, The 1976 Alfa Romeo New York Taxi

Despite being only four meters (157 inches) long, Italdesign's solution to a challenge set by the New York Museum of Modern Art was able to accommodate five people and had room underneath the seats for folding wheelchairs. Sliding doors on both sides added to the practicality, which was rather unique for 1976. You don't now link Alfa Romeo with New York taxis because the project was abandoned after the car was constructed. Shame, because it's a fascinating idea.

Concept Cars, 1978, Lancia Sibilo

The Megagamma and the Sibilio are only related since they both wore Lancia badges and attended the 1978 Turin Motor Show. They were as dissimilar from one another as chalk and China, otherwise. In essence, the Bertone-designed Sibilo was an even longer and more bizarre-looking Stratos. A 2.4-liter Ferrari V6 engine powered both the idea and the final vehicle.

The 1986 Audi Sport Quattr RS 002

The RS 002 was never meant to be merely a theoretical idea. This mid-engined coupe was one of several vehicles constructed for the Group S international motorsport regulations, which were set to replace Group B in 1987. It used the same mechanics as the Quattro rally cars. Group S was dropped in favor of the more production-based Group A after a string of catastrophic crashes. Before the car participated in a single race, the project was canceled because the RS 002 could not have been produced in sufficient quantities to qualify.

The 1992 Renault Reinastella

The Reinastella, a purely fictional vehicle that was reportedly part of the company's lineup in the 2328 model year, was on display at Disneyland Paris. It was named after a real Renault that was temporarily manufactured about 1930. Since it's hard to choose the right tense in this situation, we'll assume we're talking from the middle of the 24th century and say that the Reinastella could fly up to 186 mph and fly 15 cm (6 in) over the road in town and 150 meters (492 ft) above it in the country. A prototype appears to have absorbed the remains of its two occupants when it crashed during desert testing. Renault employed a redesigned construction that was incompatible with animals for production models.

Concept Cars, 1999, Bugatti 18/3 Chiron

The 18/3 Chiron was first produced when Volkswagen first acquired Bugatti. A 6.3-liter, 555-bhp engine with 18 cylinders grouped in three banks—thus the 18/3 part of the car's name—powered the three designs that were created around the same time. The remainder alludes to Louis Chiron (1899–1979), a Monegasque driver who competed in a number of vehicle brands but is arguably best known for his exploits in Bugattis. Bugatti's hypercar, which debuted in 2016, was given the Chiron name.

Concept Cars, 2006 Saab Aero X

Saab claims that the company's background in aircraft design served as some inspiration for the Aero X. This was partially demonstrated by the need to raise the cockpit canopy in order to allow passengers to enter and exit, which may be troublesome if you were unlucky enough to land rubber side up. It was claimed that a bioethanol-fueled twin-turbo engine could generate 400 horsepower, and the style elements suggested a future design language. Unfortunately, this was not very successful, and Saab was discontinued less than ten years after the Aero X was introduced.

2010 Citroen Metropolis

The Metropolis, an extremely large sedan that was especially popular in China, was as wide as a Maybach and longer as an Audi A8L. Power was provided by a 2.0-liter V6 engine and an electric motor as part of a gasoline-electric hybrid drivetrain. According to reports, this has the same amount of muscle as a 4.0-liter V8 that isn't hybrid, but it emits a fifth as much CO2. In 2020, the comparable DS 9 made its debut in China, while the Metropolis was never launched on the market.

2012, Chevrolet Code 130R

A tiny, rear-wheel-drive Chevrolet with a 1.4-liter turbocharged gasoline engine that could generate about 150 horsepower was proposed as the Code 130R. There was a lot of support for a production version, and it was well received. One of the main reasons this never happened was because GM would have needed to create a new platform on which to build it. Read the full article

Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint Speciale Prototipo, 1965, by Bertone. Designed by Giugiaro while he was working at Bertone, but the continued success of the Giulia Sprint GT, also designed at Bertone, made its replacement redundant. The prototype is now housed at Alfa Romeo's museum

DOWNHILL

Do I need to remind myself that in the name FIAT the letter "f" stands for fabbrica and the letter "t" for Torino? So long has been the association between the two that it comes as a shock to learn that the vast Fiat fabbrica in Mirafiori, in the south of Turin, has been at a standstill for much of 2024.

Cars have (or had) been made in Mirafiori since it was inaugurated in 1939 (with Mussolini in attendance). But production has dwindled because Fiat cars aren't selling, not even the cute little cinquecento, the 500 which was revived in 2007 as a nostalgia item. It was the retro 500 that kept the Fiat brand afloat for all those years. Millions were sold - many of them built not in Italy but in cheaper Poland - but lately fashion has shifted and enthusiasm has waned.

Wooden production mockup for the original FIAT Cinquecento (1957) on display at the old Lingotto Fiat factory, now a museum, in Turin.

The trouble at Fiat is hardly new. It has been brewing for decades and has recently infected the other brands under the same corporate umbrella of (awkwardly named) Stellantis: Chrysler, Jeep, Citroën, Peugeot, Opel, Alfa Romeo, Maserati. How much hope can there be for any of them, long traditions and industrial pride notwithstanding? [See update below.]

Don't be surprised if the only Italian car maker to survive might be Ferrari. (The company was unhitched from Fiat back in 2015 with shares traded on the New York and Milan stock exchanges.)

All of this hurts on several levels. First for the business dynasty of the Agnelli family (who co-founded FIAT at the very end of the 19th century), so emblematic of Italy's industrious and industrial north. Stellantis may now be headquartered in a faceless business park near the Amsterdam airport, but it is still ruled by the Agnelli family via its EXOR holding company.

Secondly, more importantly, brands like Fiat, Citroën, Volkswagen or BMW are intertwined with European identity. Long before they started to build cars, Peugeot (founded in 1810) and Opel (founded in 1862) were family businesses with deep roots in the early industrial age. The brilliant engineering and quirkiness of Citroën's postwar models defined Frenchness. They were as Gallic as baguettes and camembert or Bordeaux wine. They also pushed the company to brink of bankruptcy - more than once.

To this day Mercedes-Benz and BMW embody German know-how and prestige around the world. For decade after decade an S-Class Mercedes limousine, in glossy black, has been a must-have of the global plutocratic order.

But the bad vibe in Europe's car industry has shifted to Germany where Volkswagen has announced plans to close factories and lay off workers. Even the glittering brands of BMW and Porsche are not doing as well as they did. They are being squeezed by China, by slowing sales, the high cost of manufacturing in Europe, sticker-shock prices and fluctuating demand for EVs.

In itself, having fewer cars around should not be a bad thing, but politics don't work that way, especially when thirteen million good European jobs hang in the balance. The spectre of industrial wipe-out - what happened when production of consumer electronics and appliances was offshored to Asia and then just abandoned - is now hanging over many European car makers.

Parked Audis outside a government office in Guanzhou, Guandong Province, China. (Undated)

As I remember it, in feverishly post-Maoist China, three or four decades ago, public rank and privilege came with a symbol: a dark blue Audi limo. It may not have been quite the pinnacle of hierarchical achievement, but it sent a clear message of success. You were a person of importance in the People's Republic. Like its corporate parent, Volkswagen, Audi had become part of everyday life in China. Volkswagen had been the partner of choice right from the beginning of China's modern car manufacturing. Its tentacular web of manufacturing arrangements started with FAW (First Automobile Works) which made the coveted Audis.

Later Volkswagen also partnered with Shanghai Automotive, becoming China's biggest car maker. They too made Audis. (In fact there are six factories producing Audis in China.) But those were pre-EV days.

By contrast, BYD never had anything to do with Volkswagen. Founded in 1995, it was a battery maker first, and a car manufacturer later. Build Your Dreams had attracted attention in 2008 because Warren Buffet had invested in the company, and also because BYD let it be known that it wanted to be become the biggest car maker in the world.

Eyebrows were no doubt raised, but little more.

The switch to EV changed the rules of the game. And that transition is happening far more quickly in China than elsewhere. With the thermal engines gone (an expensive legacy from the 19th century), designing and manufacturing cars has become cheaper and easier - batteries excepted. Overall, the engineering bar has been lowered. (*)

Today, BYD is the biggest plug-in EV maker anywhere and it is conquering the world with its cars and city buses. It isn't alone. Other Chinese brands, some owned by Shanghai Automotive (MG), Chery or Geely (Volvo's main owner) - are inundating European markets. And they are selling on price.

Get yours before the price goes up. (Málaga, November 2024)

There is a good reason for that. The Chinese car market, the biggest in the world, isn't doing so well either. With an annual combined production of around thirty million cars (in 2023), Chinese manufacturers now find themselves with a lot of cars on their hands.

The glut of unsold cars is the result of another glut: the millions of vacant or unfinished housing units that have plagued the Chinese economy for twenty years. When that speculative bubble finally started to pop three years ago, the entire economy, already hurt by Beijing's mismanagement of the pandemic, went into a stall.

As Chinese consumers bought fewer cars, a solution was urgently needed to keep the factories going: export more of them, taking advantage of China's lead in EV technology, or, if need be, sell at giveaway prices. Beijing simply could not afford to have another pillar of its modern economy crumble. After the real estate disaster, it was a serious case of too big to fail. While it may have been difficult to export housing construction, cars were a different story.

BYD seems to have figured all of this out and has ordered its own fleet of giant car carrying ships to export its vehicles.

They have arrived, at a dealership near you and at a price you can't ignore.

UPDATE: Things are moving rapidly. Only two weeks after I wrote this story, the CEO of Stellantis, Carlos Tavares, formerly the head of PSA (Peugeot Citroën), resigned or was pushed out on December 1, 2024.
