Book Description
Lancia's Delta first appeared in 1979 and was a family-sized hatchback with equipment levels that marked it out as a pocket-sized luxury car. With sharp styling by Giugiaro of Ital Design, stood apart from other small cars. Its handling was typically Lancia sporting. There were several development changes but in 1986 the first HF 4WD appeared - which later became the Integrale. The Deltas soon dominated the international rally scene and many road going versions were soon available through the showrooms which offered exhilarating everyday motoring. 64 articles cover the Delta, HF Turbo, HF 4WD, integrale and Prisma. Included are road and comparison tests, new model introductions, updates and advice on buying a used example.

Book Description
The Lancia Delta Integrale is one of the best known and most successful rally cars there has ever been. Dominating the sport after the demise of Group B, the Integrale led the field from the mid-eighties to the early nineties. But these potent rally machines weren't just available to professional rally drivers. Because of the homologation rules that demanded that all Group A cars be taken from a production run of at least 1000 cars intended for sale to the general public, every new incarnation of the rally machine made another batch of road-going clones available. These cars - every bit as exciting as their off-road sisters - were and still are highly sought-after.

Alfa Romeo TZ-TZ2
Author: Vitto Witting da Prato
Publisher: Giorgio Nada Editore Srl
ISBN: 9788879116411
Category : Transportation
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Having left motor racing in the early 1950s - at least officially - Alfa Romeo returned to the sport once again at the start of the following decade due to the commitment and enthusiasm of Autodelta. This Alfa offshoot distinguished itself by preparing and racing about 30 of the manufacturer's different cars that really did make history. Among them, the Giulia TZ holds a place at the head of the crowd. It had a 1.5-litre, 113 hp engine from the Giulia SS, front and rear suspension of modern conception, disc brakes and an especially bold body shaped by Zagato on a modern tubular chassis. Those were the strong points of this car, which scored results of absolute prestige in its brief career at Sebring, in the Targa Florio, the 24 Hours of Le Mans and the Tour de France. Vito Witting da Prato, already the author of a meticulously written book on the Alfa Romeo SZ, covers the winning, human, technical and sporting factors of this unforgettable car in a monumental work. A book which, to the precise text and painstaking historical reconstruction, has been added illustrations of previously unpublished pictures and technical designs by Autodelta.

Il Cavallino Nel Cuore
Author: Leonardo Fioravanti
Publisher: Giorgio Nada Editore Srl
ISBN: 9788879116220
Category : Transportation
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
For the first time, one of the major names in Italian car design tells his story from the beginning; from when he made his first sketches on paper, unbeknown to his parents and not only of cars, to reaching a point at which his name became synonymous with some of the best known and most important cars on the international front. In his 23-year career at Pininfarina, Leonardo Fioravanti, who was first a designer and architect, then managing director and director general of 'Studi & Ricerche' department, created some of the most beautiful Ferraris of all time; they ranged from the 1965 250 LM sports coupe Speciale to the immortal 1968 Daytona through to the 1975 308 GTB and GTS and the 1984 288 GTO, as well as the P5 and P6 of 1968. While continuing his Ferrari essay during his Pininfarina career, Fioravanti also guided the creation of numerous other projects, among them the Dino road car, the 1980 Pinin four-door prototype and went on to the 1984 Testarossa and the 1987 F40. He worked for the Fiat Group from 1988 until 1991, during which time he took on the roles of deputy director general of Ferrari, later became responsible for advanced design CRF and then head of the Fiat Styling Centre. In 1987, he founded Fioravanti srl, an architectural studio, and in 1991 he extended his services to industry, in particular the design of means of transport. Images of an epoch, designs from his own personal archive never previously seen and, above all, a passionate first person account. Those are the key elements of this outstanding book which, through the creations of Leonardo Fioravanti, covers over 50 years of the history of automobile style and culture.
