Fiat Punto - Italian Car common

  Solidly built hatch looks good but its performing is just about average.Like the Linea, it looks great, Its built is good and it comes with superb ride and handling. But it doesn’t take the game as forward in the hatchback segment as the Linea has done  in the saloon class. Performing, gas efficiency and other things are not the very good and even the interior is disappointing. The Grande Punto makes up with the its price. With...

The Fiat Panda - Cute Italian car

  The phrase “little cars, little profits” is the blunt retort credited to Edsel Ford when presented with the the primary proposals for the Fiesta. Within the even more Lilliputian world of sub-B cars like the Panda, or its new rivals Volkswagen’s Up or Kia’s Picanto, you need to get the production right or otherwise you can lose money on every car you sell. Perhaps that explains why some early products in this sector were so lacklustre...

The Ferrari Enzo - Italian car legend

You expect an Enzo to be fast; a "slow supercar" is really an oxymoron. You also expect an Enzo to be fiery; Ferrari actually admits that post-delivery mechanical malfunctions are an integral part of the development process. But most of all, you expect it to be pretty. Think of it this way: if the $650k Enzo wasn't pretty, everyone who saw one would consider its owner an idiot. Benny Caiola Jr. is no idiot. Saying that, would you lend your Enzo...

The Lamborghini Countach - Italian car beauty

The first issue making Countach so exotic was its look. The wedge-shape style combined with sharp edges and distinctive features like scissors doors, NACA ducts and sq. pop-up headlamps, not only caught eyes but additionally looked futuristic.Whenever a Countach flashed pass a viewer, it'd immediately give a pair of impressions. The primary was that it was extremely low, lower than any other car in the world. In fact, standing at forty two inches...

The Fiat 500 - Retro modern flashback

If you think that you understand the Italians, think about the take of Roberto Giolito, the director of Fiat design. He compares the first 500 with the Michelin logo, in his words, The Fiat 500 is “a fat man made from tires.” He says this without a touch of irony and without the slightest thought that a fat man made from tires may not be the perfect design goal for any car. And it is not just about the old Fiat 500. He sees the identical thing in...

The Ferrari GTO 250 - Sold for only $31,856,726

If there is a car that looks absolutely perfect in every way it's the Ferrari GTO 250 . The plunging valley between those humpy front wings, the little mouth pouting at the tip of its hood, the subtle flip-up on the boot. Don't care that the nose is a bit long and the tail too short and don't care that there are vents and slots everywhere to break up the flow and smoothness of the car's body. The GtTO still looks balanced in every aspect. Two things...

The lamborghini Murcielago Lp640 - Italian car bully

There exist only a number of vehicles that will stop streets like a Murcielago . Supercars like the Murcielago are now getting rare so we should enjoy in the insanity while we can. Even though the seating position of the LP640 has come a long way from the ‘long arms, short legs' Old Lambo's , the Murcielago is still a big, noisy, tiring supercar. The performance can be described in one in a word: mind-blowing . Four-wheel drive and 630bhp,...

The Lancia Stratos - Italian car blast from the past

Wearing a Italian Lancia Stratos is like wearing a bell helmet – as Stig Blomqvist noted a few years back : ‘The car is like my clotheses,’ he said, ‘it’s got smaller.’ The men behind its rising to stardom were Cesare Fiorio, Lancia’s team manager, Italian designers Gianpaolo Dallara, Marcello Gandini, Danielle Audetto and ace driver Sandro Munari. The Lancia Stratos was so small that the two crew members almost didn't fit inside , but it soon...

The Ferrari 308 GTB - Italian car classic

If the world of Italian carmaker Ferrari was turned upside down when Bertone’s angular Ferrari 308 GT4 in 1973 appeared, things were righted when Pininfarina’s beautiful two-seat Ferrari 308 GTB made its debut couple years later. “Based on the 308 Dino GT4 with only two seats is regarded by many as the more natural successor to the much-loved Dino 246,” England’s Motor summed up for many. “The styling is the best to come out of Ferrari for...

The Maserati Bora - Icon, Legend, Superstar

The mid-engined Maserati Bora was the absolute epitomy of Modena exotic, a rare animal, a production car in which the stylist was given absolute freedom to design anything he wanted, and he ended up designing one of the most iconic car of all time. The shape of the Bora is as good as it can get when talking about passenger car aerodynamics, a maximum speed of more than 170 mph combined with grip and handling ensured there was hardly an equal...

The Ferrari 458 Italia - Italian menace

If there’s anything better than a gorgeous Ferrari 458 Italia, it’s that same gorgeous Ferrari 458 Italia with its roof taken off.A few months age we received confirmation that Ferrari was planning on producing a Spider version of one of their highly successful new models back in 2009 from none other than Luca di Montezemolo himself and now the covers have finally been pulled off. While most of the Ferrari’s appearance looks pretty much the same...

Lambo Sesto Elemento - It's out of this world

Lamborghini has confirmed that the new Sesto Elemento will be headed to the production line, albeit in a very limited run. The task of purchasing an Lambo Elemento got even harder as a high-end dealership in La Jolla confirmed that Lamborghini was already accepting orders for the Sesto and that only three units were headed over to the U.S. The Lamborghini Sesto Elemento will be offered at a princely sum and rumors suggest that payment will be...

Maserati GranCabrio - Elegance is all

Imagine the billionaire scene of a luxury convertible and a sun-drenched road winding to a chic Mediterranean hotel... The film rolling in your mind will probably involve you and a loving partner, or maybe you alone, and almost certainly won't feature anyone on your fantasy wheels' back bench. But the reality is that many of us need the convenience of multiple seats, even when living the dream, which is why Maserati's strategy is always selling...

The Ferrari 458 Spider - It's just a Prancing horse

Besides shaving the 458’s head, Ferrari changed it's throttle mapping, suspension tuning, and “engine soundtrack”. The Spider’s soundtrack should be very pleasing, produced as it's by the same 562- bhp engine as is used in the Ferrari 458 Italia. That power is routed through exactly the same seven-speed dual-clutch automatic as is used in the coupe to the same torque-vectoring differential. Ferrari claims the Spider will run to 62 mph from a standstill...

The Fiat 500 Abarth - A zinger with a stinger

 The Italian Abarth 500 is small, so the back seats are also in the same way. But up front you will be fine, although a bit bounced to death thanks to stiff suspension. You can get away with the Fiat most of the time though - especially in town where you can scoot about like a maniac. It's a relatively small 1.4-litre turbo but with a decent 135bhp and 133lb ft of torque. A ‘Sport' button slightly raises the torque available, but not by a...

The Pagani Huayra - Roaring god of wind

In 2012 we are are expecting an exotic Pagani with an even more exotic name - Huayra .The name comes from a god of wind in the Andes, an appropriate calling for a car boosted by a twin-turbo V12 and meant to fly along the ground at 230 mph. The 2012 Pagani Huayra is more than just an evolution of the Zonda. It starts with the engine, for the Zonda's racing-specification, normally aspirated 7.0-liter Mercedes V12 has been replaced by an AMG-tuned...

The Ferrari F12 Berlinetta - Smoothness from Italy

Four words:The. Fastest. Ferrari. Period. While the F12 Berlinetta may have a name seemingly created to drive English teachers crazy, the 740 BHP V12 is just demenziale. Genrating 509 lb-ft of torque, it is enough to propel the 3,362-pound car from 0-62 mph in just 3.1 seconds and 0-104 mph in 8.5 seconds, taking it from Ferrari. Of course, the true measure of any Ferrari is a lap around Fiorano course, which the Italian carmaker says can be...

The Lamborghini Aventador J - a car from the future

It is one thing to make a convertible version of the beautiful Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4, it is a different thing to take the roof and the windscreen off, fitting two tiny wind deflectors in front of the driver and passenger compartments. Climate control? None. Navigation system? Don't even think about it. What you do get is what Lambo calls "an utterly indescribable experience of power and dynamics." The Italian Lamborghini Aventador ...

The Alfa Romeo 159 - The Italian cop

For the 2011 model year, the Alfa Romeo 159 - both sedan and station wagon models- have been renewed in vogue and interior; it additionally gets optional packages that offer customers a more competitive bid.

The Alfa 159 gets a brand new combination of leather offered in black or beige and an ...

Lamborghini Superleggera LP570 - Might from Italy

Bright green and brutal – it can only be the Italian car beast-Lamborghini. And it’s a rather hardcore one. Meet the Gallardo LP570-4 Superleggera, Lambo’s super lightweight new model. Needless to say, it’s the wildest Gallardo yet. It has got four-wheel drive and there’s more power. An extra 10 bhp takes the 5.2-litre V10’s total output to 562 bhp, the most an Italian Lambo Gallardo has yet offered and not far short of the bhp served up by...

Italian car beauty - Alfa Romeo Spider

There's a good dollop of charisma to be found under the hood of any Italian Alfa Spider. Engines include a 2.2-litre four-cylinder, a 3.2-litre V6 and a 2.4-litre five-pot turbodiesel; this refined unit is the best engine in the current line-up. But the Spider's heavy kerbweight does not help performance. The petrol engines struggle; the extra torque of the big diesel engine means maintaining progress is not as hard work. The extra kilos...

Pagani Zonda R- Italian car \ Art

Introduced a year ago in Vienna, the Italian super cars soon found their owners. The Pagani is valued at 1500000 euros, while the weight value is only 1000 kg without the driver and fuel. That is because of the titanium and carbon fiber materials installed in the car. Chassis rigidity is doubled, and the weight reduced by one third compared to a standard Zonda F. Almost everything on the car, starting from the front spoiler to the massive...

Ferrari California- Fast Italian car

Ferrari FF in the Dolomites

Cars made by "Ferrari" somehow always, in the logic of things, are linked with sunshine, wind in your hair, beautiful women and the sea. The fact that the Italian car maker held the "FF" model presentation in the Dolomites, on snow and ice, may look strange at first. The answer to the question why hides in the second letter F. Long ago did the president of "Ferrari" Luca di Montezemolo announce that the new car will be like nothing that "Ferrari"...
