THE LATEST NEWS FROM FERRARI CONCERNING TECHNOLOGICAL PROGRESS IS COMPARABLE TO THE ROARING SIXTIES AND RETRO.
AS I READ IN EVO FROM SEPTEMBER 2007 THAT FERRARI " NOW " IS CONCERNED ABOUT C02 EMISSIONS AND IS PROJECTING NEW FERRARI'S MOST OF ALL TO BE SMALLER AND LIGHTER.
IN THIS INTERESTING ARTICLE IT IS SAID THAT THE LAUNCH OF THE RECENT BUGATTI VEYRON COULD BE SEEN AS THE END OF A LINE BY PUTTING A I. 000 BHP IN A 2 TON SUPERCAR.
CLEAR THINKING NOW (AGAIN) SUGGESTS IT WILL BE BETTER TO PUT A 500 BHP- MOTOR INTO A I.000 KOS. CAR.
EXCELLENT THINKING BUT AT THE SAME TIME IT IS NOTHING NEW.
THE FERRARI GTO I962-I964 WEIGHS 900 KOS. RESPONDING AT SOME 340 BHP.
SO DOES THE 1964 SHELBY COBRA IN RACE ATTIRE OFFERING SOME 400 BHP. TOTALLY DRESSED IN ALUMINIUM.
CLEVER THINKING, AND KEEPING IT SIMPLE.
THE QUALITIES OF IL COMMENDATORE ENZO AND OF THE
EX LE MANS WINNER CARROLL SHELBY REMAIN HOT NEWS.
MY SHELBY COBRA I964 IN 2000 AT THE MONT VENTOUX HILLCLIMB. LIGHT AND BRIGHT IN THE SUNLIGHT.
LOTS OF C02 INCLUDING ALL EXCESS.
