Photos by the author. Just two months ago, I was walking the vast halls of Retromobile in Paris, unaware that the world as we know it, was about to change dramatically. No one worried about social distancing. People crowded the booths, inspecting everything closely. The mood was friendly, festive, and you heard a multitude of languages. Flip the calendar back eight weeks and come look at it with me… As they have for decades, enthusiasts from all over the world gathered at the sprawling Paris Expo Center at Porte Versailles for an enormous indoor swap meet inside three action-packed exhibi ..read more

The V-12 will continue: Lamborghini’s chief engineer on the history and future of a dozen cylinders
Hemmings Daily – Hemmings Sports & Exotic Car
by Brett Berk
4y ago
Maurizio Reggiani, Lamborghini’s chief technical officer is smitten with the V-12 engine. “The V-12 represents, the peak of excellence,” he says. Though he’s an engine engineer by training—he was the lead engine designer for Maserati in the Eighties and for Bugatti during the quad-turbo V-12 EB110 era in the Nineties—his affection is more than career-oriented. It’s almost reverential. “A V-12 is born to be like a singer.” But his assessments also contain strong hints of professional pride. “V-12 is the top level of engineering you can imagine,” he says, delineating issues like the engine’s re ..read more

Chizar’s story may be one of the most remarkable in the latter-day history of the Testa Rossa, given that he bought 0718 for just $8,000, and Scott managed to sit him down for an intervie ..read more

Neal Bascomb’s new book, “Faster,” got the attention of the New York Times this week, which decided to look into which one of America’s premier collectors owns the Rene Dreyfus-driven Delahaye 145 that beat the Nazis in the years before World War II. The four Delahaye 145s are all in the United States, three in California owned by Peter Mullin, a premier collector of French cars. But the fourth, and possibly the Pau and Million Franc winner, is in Englewood, N.J., and owned by a similarly respected collector and frequent Pebble Beach and Amelia Island Concours d’Elegance winner, Sam Mann ..read more
