zOMG: Koenigsegg comes back to its sense, won't buy Saab!

Quick update on the situation of Koenigsegg and Saab, words from the official press release from General Motors:

DETROIT -- General Motors confirmed today that the proposed sale of its Saab subsidiary to Koenigsegg Group AB was terminated at the discretion of the buyer.

"We're obviously very disappointed with the decision to pull out of the Saab purchase," said GM President and CEO, Fritz Henderson. "Many have worked tirelessly over the past several months to create a sustainable plan for the future of Saab by selling the brand and its manufacturing interests to Koenigsegg Group AB. Given the sudden change in direction, we will take the next several days to assess the situation and will advise on the next steps next week."

I honestly always liked the idea, K's madness married to Saab's quirky cars and fwd layout, backing to the origins somehow. On the other hand I was also skeptical and I was wondering how would K come to have the capacity and sources to run such a larger company when there are even detractor wondering how K itself manages to stay on business (I guess that has something to do with Mr K original business).

Regardless, the deal is over and Saab is now facing some tough days, it has a larger heritage and image than Pontiac, but it never sold enough cars in first place too. For the record, Pontiac as well as Saturn faced the end of their days.
Pontiac wasn't working in the only market where it had some sort of backing (USA), while Saab was struggling world wide, despite being praised by many as an old-fashion brand.
So old fashion that the yet to be released 9-5 was the first new model in some 8 years.


Now what appears to be a solid and interesting car risks to die before of even seeing the light of the day.


Pretty sad I'd say.

10.0 Time is running, but not on my watch

First things first, this isn't an automotive related post. Even if it's a prelude to my 2 Italian cents on the Bugatti 16C Galibier Concept, it's rather about how I create a post, how I write, and possibly why, to some extent.
Dedicated to all of those who don't care how many visitors they have everyday on their websites, to those who don't follow everyone who is followed by his/her friends on Twitter or Facebook, to all of those who have a personal opinion based on their own thinking. To all of those who live to please themselves, and to be eventually happy.
Oh, and to my lonely Mongolian visitor.

Oh my...

Make the jump, it's a safe one.

It has been a while since Bugatti unveiled its new concept car, the massive 16C Galibier, and the dust raised by the initial buzz has already settled.
Every now and then I happened to have a look at it, its pictures to be honest. The more I was looking at it, the more I wanted to review it. I wanted to review it in the usual way though, with a bit of background on the car, on the brand and the people who created the brand in first place.

While I was trying to extricate myself between lacking info and writing inaccurate stories about the Bugatti family members, it so happened that rumors of a upcoming second exhibition of the car surfaced, this time in Los Angeles.
It actually happened, and a first review was posted, courtesy of Autoblog.com.
You can read it here.

Honestly I was hugely disappointed.
I'm not a fan or active member of the autoblog.com community, but I enjoy it as a sort of Automotive Daily News. Some articles/posts are brilliant, others are pretty ordinary.
Regardless, when the time to meet the new Bugatti came, the result was a bit poor, I think.
First of all, no live pictures, a real shame and it isn't even explained why. Second, the review itself was, well, descriptive, that's it.
When I read it I thought it was something I could have done myself without even looking much at the images and at the video released. Not only it is merely describing the car, but it doesn't express emotions, feelings, ideas, even if that seems the intent of the writer.
Too bad, but I'm not here to judge a much more renowned and capable "colleague".
What I'm here to write is what happened to me.

It did, however, raised one emotion. I was so disappointed by the review I thought I had to hurry up and write mine, as now the lights were again on on the car, and people would have just been distracted by such sterile reviews, while I thought my much more passionate approach would have just been better.

Then I thought, "why?!"
I don't write for a living, first of all, and I don't get a single dollar out of it, I don't even have ads and the likes over here, not even Google's. I'm not a major player in the virtual automotive world. Yes, I had my 15 minutes of glory when Jason Castriota and Bradley Farrell catapulted me straight into il Paese dei Balocchi, or the Land of Toys, for you non Italian speakers.
Well, it was actually Balocco, VC, Italy, but you can't get it all right, can you?!

So, the point now is basically, why I write, and for who.
As for the why, it didn't change through this first 8 months, I still write to express what I feel and think, to re-read my thoughts and see that they actually make sense, every now and then. It's a sort of waste gate, but also an intake valve.
It's useful to lower the pressure, when I need a distraction and something else to do rather than pointlessly study something for the sake of it and for a future career I don't really "feel"as mine sometimes. It's also useful to keep the pressure up, or rather to keep the passion burning when things are not getting into the right direction and I need a way to remember myself what I'm doing here and why I'm pointlessly studying these things...
What a conflict.

But it's a nice one, and it's what makes me even proud of what I'm doing. I'm not saving the world, but I'm happy with how The Italian Junkyard evolved. It reflects myself, the way I think and they way I'd do everything else, with my own method. I'm expressing myself, something I think a lot of people isn't really capable of, being lack of communication or lack of something of their own to actually express.
So thinking about this, there was no hurry anymore, no need to let the world know what I think about the Galibier, the Bugatti family or their artistic heritage. No need to beat the next big guy on the clock with my rants.

Exactly looking at the whole Bugatti family tree I was sketching, I remembered myself the most important thing is being yourself, following your own path your own way.
There might be things we can't always do our way, that's life, but we can still try to put our signature on everything we do, so to be proud of them, to some extent, or to feel them as ours.
My way of writing and posting is to be genuine. I don't want to post something if I'm not into it, and I won't write if in that moment I'm not in the mood, otherwise the result wouldn't be fluid** and homogeneous. It especially wouldn't have my personal touch throughout the main subject of the story.
All this because at the end of the day, what I write is barely exclusive even in the best cases, it isn't something you can't find somewhere else or that no one knows. But no one, I suppose, writes the way I do, because, I hope, no one it's like me.

At the end of the day I write for myself and no one else, and about myself. As you all know the world around you, looking at it trough the eyes of someone else is giving you more information about this person, rather than about the world itself.
Yes, I post a link on Twitter every time I write a new post, looking for some new readers, or to let old readers know something new has been added. Yes, I do post links to my blog here and there, on forums I'm a member of or on websites I comments, perhaps sporadically. I think it's kinda obvious, as if I was really just talking only to myself, then writing all of this on a notepad would have been sufficient, or I could have just thought it, even better.
Yes, I "like" the fact that other people can read what I write, and I'm of course pleased, very pleased, if they likes it, it's like a confirmation from the outside that the gears are still working fine.

So, if you're one of them, one of my readers who like what they found here, being Mongolian, Italian or Japanese, I'm sure you'll understand if and why I'll take my time between each post or if my schedule is a bit "independent" from what's going on in the real world of the almighty internet.

That's it. Does it make sense? Didn't check that to be honest...let me know.

Cheers,

Damiano.

Those wacky Tool guys...

Spotted in the City - 1959 Rolls Royce Silver Cloud II

This white wedding car was spotted at the end of September, in Padua, my hometown.

Even if using a Rolls Royce as a wedding car may seem a bit banal, it doesn't happen to see one of them everyday, right?
This specific model is a 1959 Rolls Royce Silver Cloud II. To be completely honest, I'm not sure if it's a Silver Cloud II or I, as I'm no expert of classic RR cars, but I did my homework, and this is what I came out with...

This is one of only 2418 short wheelbase (SWB) units ever made. It's actually 2311 as 107 of those cars were bodied with the H.J. Mulliner drophead coupe variants. Then you should 299 long wheelbase (LWB) models, with 41 of them being bodied by H.J Mulliner, 38 by James Young, one by Chapron and another one by Hooper. All in all we have 2717 Silver Cloud II.

The main differences between a mark I and a mark II is the engine, now an aluminum 6.23 V8 engine, which lasted until the nineties albeit obviously updated, instead of the older straight six. The gearbox was a 4 speed automatic unit, while drum brakes were in charge of stopping the car.

What could makes this very car even more exclusive is something the driver, or the chauffeur should I say, told me. This, according to him, is the only one in the world equipped with a soft top.
Believe it or not, the car is excellently kept, and was running and sounding as new.

I don't think this would be my favorite car for my big day, I'd rather go for something more “specific”, more personal. As I said, it's pretty obvious to think about a Rolls Royce car, and that only means you have more money than those renting an S-Klasse.
I suppose I'd be happier in a Maserati Quattroporte mk1, even if honestly I don't care about the generation, I like them all.
I just can't deny my soft spot for the big Maserati...

A little bit of glory for that black New Beetle too:

9.3 How do they say...car porn? God's in the details? I say Pagani Zonda R

Please welcome my new wallpaper.
This was going to be a purely illustrative, jaw-dropping, drool instigating post, and it still is.

These shots are about the exhausts manifolds and the front bonnet of the Pagani Zonda R. Technically, the ceramic superficial layer on the exhaust reduces the temperature in the engine bay of about 15 °C. Impressive I'd say.
I'd have like to now how light the bonnet was, but I was barely allow to get close enough to it for some shots, let alone touch it and try to lift it.
There is more than that in these shots though...

As Pagani itself underlined with the official press shots of this car, one of the main and strongest point of the Zonda and its bloodline is the attention to details, and their perfection.

There have been and will be a lot of car as fast or faster then all the Zondas made up to date. Some of the will have more power, or more speed, they will be lighter, more comfortable, more luxurious, or even more exclusive.
Even if you don't consider the Zonda to be best out of there in the world of uber-exclusive supercars, you have to admit it is among the best for sure.
Probably the key to its success was the ability to grant astonishing performance, with high quality craftsmanship and elegance, without forgetting a bit of futuristic style.
It's a great mixture of all of this and much more. Surely the Koenigsegg CCX is faster ona straight line, and has those hypnotizing doors, but once you're in, the interior is pretty...cheap. It isn't badly assembled, or made out of second hand fabrics, but it isn't exclusive, the design isn't enough peculiar and sophisticated, and it isn't straight simple and essential either. That something I never like in the CC family, which is a bit of a shame as the car is damn expensive and I'm sure really involving to drive, but as I'm going to seat in the car and not in front of it while driving, I'd like to have something to drool all over in on the inside of it.

Then we could consider the Gumpert Apollo. We all know how fast that thing is, but the problem si exactly this, it appears more of a thing, a tool, rather than a car, or better, an exotic car. Its form after function approach is excellent, but pretty uninspiring too. It's mean, aggressive, raw and brutal as much as its performance are, but even if it's somehow cheap to buy being a pure race car, it's pretty down in my list.

Then there is the Ascari KZ1. No, it isn't as fast or powerful as those just listed, but it's another handcrafted car in low volumes. Its problem though isn't the high price, or it's anonymous look, with strong hints of Ferrari 360 Modena all around, the use of components from other cars even in the cockpit, or its lack of a strong and defined personality, something different from being just fast. It's all of that, all together. It's the feeling you're buying something that is already out there, just more expensive, with less identity. It is a great car, well assembled and plenty of potential (see its sportier sister the A10), and the Ascari family looks like a nice one to belong to, especially because of those Ascari Race Resort...

These are just a few of all the cars with a certain high image, and why do I prefer the Zonda over them?
It isn't something directly explainable, it's like a childish feeling you grow up with. I knew the Zonda since its beginning, more than 10 years ago, and I always liked it. Every now and then I found some new details to think about, I didn't like some of them at first, but in the end what that I love about this car is its cohesive essence, made out of thousands of perfect smaller parts, like a galaxy with its stars and planets around them.
Everything from the nose on the bonnet to the wing at the rear is perfect, a wonderful object you'd show off in your living room even if didn't know a thing about cars or the Zonda itself. All these small bits create something marvelous, dynamic yet elegant, aggressive yet classy, wrapping a top notch engineering masterpiece.
That's why I like it, it's attention to details to the nth degree, without being a purely artistic object, but a terrific supercar.
It's a bit like Spyker, which I love as well, just with more power and performance.
You know, if you have to play, play big...

Finally, a few correction to what is generally and wrongly wrote on the internet and magazines.
The Zonda R has nothing to do with the other cars from Pagani. 90% of the components is brand new, and the main point are the chassis, the drivetrain (engine and gearbox) and suspensions.
A lot fo people, journalists and bloggers believe the Cinque is its road going counterpart, but it isn't so. The Cinque is the last evolution of the Zonda family, while the Zonda R, despite carrying over the same name, is a completely different car. It is also sporting some componets that will be used on the upcoming (spring 2010) Pagani C9, the Zonda's replacement.

The main carbon fiber monocoque adopted on the Cinque has the same design of the first 1999 Zonda C12, albeit modified relatively to the adoption of th carbo-titanium composite material and few other things. From the 1999 C12 to the 2009 Cinque, every time the chassis has been updated, to reduce the weight or enhance its specs, but the main dimensions have always been the same.
Oh really? Yeah, really.
The second Zonda ever made, with the first unit being used for the development and crash tested in 1998, is still used by Pagani and it was used until now to test each new generation. It was photographed in the official photoshoot of th Zonda F, carrying the "Prototipo 2" sticker on the doors, and a silver painted roof, instead of the usual carbon fiber treatment.
This is a shot I took myself back at the end of August 2009, where you can see this car in full Cinque Specs. Of course its chassis is still the old one, but it shows you how it can adopt different mechanics. I know the car is barely recognizable, but trust me, it's still the good old #76002.

There are at least a Zonda S 7.3 being update to F specs, another Zonda C12 updated to S 7.0, and a Zonda S Roadster updated to Zonda F Roadster, and many S 7.0 lately became an S 7.3.
It's a pretty lively family, you know...

BONUS SHOTS, CARBON FIBER GALORE!!!

Hope you won't mind the quality of the last shot, it's an uber zoom, a la C.S.I. I'd say, to show you how much awesomeness is going on there. There is much more than a dark edge sketches in a carbon fiber bodywork.

Getting older, still rocking

If you really are an enthusiast, if you do care about cars, how they works, how they are made, what they are, what they mean, then there is a good chance we could be friends, and you can make the jump to read my latest rant.
If you're into nitpicking, knowing everything just for the sake of it, pretending to know more than others and even more, you're into let it know to other folks around you, THEN JUST STOP READING THIS BLOG.

Why this? what does it have to do with the picture above?

It may be unrelated to the image, sure, but it's very tied to its subject.
Ins't that aluminum body sexy? Looking at pictures like this makes me want to own a certain car even more. Actually, more and more often, I want to own the factory.
Even better, my own factory

I love cars, deeply. When I look at the stupidest and most diffused compact car, I start thinking if it's fulfilling its purposes, why it has that sharp line on the bonnet line, why the engine is that large, why that girl bought it. When I meet a supercar, I wonder how could it be to pass 30 minutes in the garage, late in the night, looking at it, lonely, appreciating every detail, and waiting to let that mighty engine roar the next morning, and how many times I'd visit the factory during its building.
In the ideal world, everything has a function and a style. It isn't actually so, most objects are just designed, produced and advertised, with the latter unfortunately being the most important part. Cars are no exceptions, but they are by far the object which excite me the most. Hence, I know a lot cars, brands, iconic personalities from the automotive world. I also know quite some technical things behind them. I'm no expert probably, but that still gives me a better hint of the automotive environment than what I know about say radios.

This sort of knowledge would be better referred to as passion. If you are still reading you perfectly know what that I'm talking about, as you suffer from the same disease.
So like me, you know there are a lot of examples where the car isn't an object anymore, it's a form of art, it's a jewel, a dream come true for someone, and a dream to fulfill for many others. It's a form of expression. There will be persons proud of what they created, others willing to own it, and others willing to make something of their own, to show the same subject but filtered trough their own ideas, feeling, emotions.

I suppose I fill into the last category, or I'd like to.

For this reason I entered this university in Modena, aiming at the specialization in automotive engineering.
At first I was disappointed by the lack of organization, by uninspiring teachers and subjects studied only in the theoretical aspects without a bit of practicing.
It took me a while to understand the main issue was a different one, the lack of passion. More than interest, knowledge, practice and study, the most important thing about what you're doing is loving it.
There is no way you will really succeed in something tough and complicated if you don't love it. That's good even if we are talking about relationships between two persons, obviously.

While I questioned many times if what I call passion isn't actually just a hobby, a mere pastime, or if simply I wasn't good enough for this sort of university, I think none except just a handful of my teachers ever questioned themselves.
I don't know if they really like their specific field, I think some of them like it, but do they really like, or rather love, to teach, to share, to instill some interest and passion in students?
If I had to look at the average student, I honestly think I wouldn't be so prone to help him getting more out of that brain. The average is pretty low on quality, and I'm not talking about smart and intelligent guys versus dumb ones.
On the other hand, too many times I saw teachers looking at students, talking to them as if they were the worst aspect of their job, you know, the part that sucks but that you still had to do. I can see a professor being more into labs and research, but teaching is an intrinsic part of working into university, I thought that was pretty obvious.

Why am I writing this?
Because I fell like this university, even if I believe it isn't a matter of where you're studying in Italy, isn't made to teach students, or to create new creative minds. I talking about creating, not being stylish and fanciful.
What I see is just a bunch of old and young men, imposing the fact they got a degree before of us, and therefore we must learn what they say and how they say it.
There is no room for actually understand the subject, let alone their useful and practical sides.

It's disappointing, no, actually, it sucks.
I came here specifically to follow my passion and give it a technical background. It turned out I had to feed my passion everyday to keep it alive, and that this place all about standardization, bureaucratic technicalities and selfish persons is just trying to kill it.
When I hear of people enthusiastic about theor degrees, I just don't get it, I don't know if they are either childish or their degree is a joke. It isn't about them, it's an eventuality I'd love to face, but that I can't foresee right now.

My 2 Italian cents?
If you are considering studying in Modena, and more specifically the automotive engineering degree, just don't. Keep out, it's for the better.
If you're considering to follow your own attitude and passion, DO IT, for real, and be ready to face an hostile world.

Getting older, still rocking
Happy Birthday To Me

Spotted in the City - Pagani Zonda F Coupe

Here we go once again.
No, I am not working at Pagani and no, I don't get payed to post all this stuff about the Zonda.
But that's a good idea...
More after the jump.

Saturday evening, while I was at home because of injured foot, my girlfriend and some friends headed to Modena's downtown, but that's not the point.
The point is that when they walked trough the main square accessible to cars, Piazza Roma, right in front of the Accademia Militare, they spotted this almighty beauty.
This is a famous Pagani Zonda F coupe, not because of it's another Zonza, but rather because it's a special one.

Despite being officially owned by an Argentinian customer, Jorge Gòmez, the car received various plates, but never an Argentinian one.
That shouldn't surprise as the same customer also owned, officially, another silver Zonda, precisely a Zonda S 7.0 which has been the first car to be updated to S 7.3 specs. It actually was used for the first press shots of the S 7.3 model, together with the blue Zonda S #76021 featured here.
So you're smelling something now...
While his first car was used to test and showcase the new drivetrain, both the engine and the new gearbox, together with their respective electronics, his second car, this orange Zonda F was used to test some parts for the last update of the Zonda family, the Zonda Cinque.

You can find quite some images around the internet where the car is sporting testing equipments to recover data. More important, the car is basically always in San Cesario sul Panaro, Pagani's town. It was seen in Argentina only for s short period during summer 2008. It has exhibited in many occasions on an official Pagani stand, like Geneva 2008, Top Marques 2008 and obviously at the Modena Terra di Motori 2008, as you may remember.
The weirdest part has been when the car was sporting Slovakian plates.
My own theory on that is the car was like "rented" to another owner, while he was waiting for his own car, but that's just a guess.

As you can see in these shots, the car is bare bone stock. It isn't even the first time it has been seen in Modena's downtown. A couple of weeks ago (or was it before?) another friend of mine spotted an orange Zonda on a Friday night I think.
Probably the car is used by Pagani or one of his sons, who knows.

Featured chassis is #76091, while the other Zonda S once owned by Gòmez is #76018. That car is also the very one to set the Nurburgiring lap time of 7 minutes and 44 seconds in 2002.
It is now for sale at ...one million euro.
Sweet, isn't it?

2009 FIA GT - Zolder, race. This is it, LIVE streaming of the last race of the FIA GT Championship as we know it.

We'll talk later about what's going to change and what that will mean.
What you have to focus on now is the last race of the season, last time you'll see these rockets thundering on the track. Yes all of them received the green light to race even next year, but with their performance highly affected by the new rules.

Never mind, this is how the qualifying ended.
We have GT1championship leaders, Michael Bartels and Andrea Bertolini in 6th position on the starting grid in their #1 Vitaphone Maserati MC12, a bit disappointing. Right in from of them there is the #19 Luc Alphand Adventures Corvette Z06 driven by Xavier Maassen and Thomas Biagi. The #8 Sangari Corvette Z06 driven by last race winning Bernoldi and Streit couple is 4th.
Third spot is owned by #33 Vitaphone DHL Maserati MC12 driven by Alex Pier Guidi and car mate Matteo Bobbi. Second place has been take by the #2 MC12 driven my Ramos and Muller, while the title contenders of Pekaracing, Anthony Kumpen and Mike Hezemans, took the pole position in their #4 Corvette Z06.

That's not how the race is going to start thoug, as Pole-setter Anthony Kumpen and second-fastest qualifying man Alex Müller both received grid penalities due to setting their best times under yellow flags during yesterday's qualifying session.
So the new starting grid now is: the nr 33 Vitaphone Racing Team DHL Maserati MC 12 starting from first position, alongside the nr 8 Sangari Team Brazil Corvette. The second row will be the nr 19 Luc Alphand Aventures Corvette, alongside Championship leader nr 1 Vitaphone Maserati MC 12. The third row will be Longin and Ruffier in the nr 3 SRT Corvette, alongside Championship contenders Hezemans and Kumpen, with the nr 2 Vitaphone Maserati on the fourth row alongside the nr 35 Nissan GT-R.
The #1 MC12 is leading by a tight 4 points gap over the #4 Corvette.

In GT2, #50 AF Corse Ferrari F430 GT2 driven by Gianmaria "Jimmy" Bruni took the pole position, ahead of Bergmeister in his Porsche 997 GT3 RSR. Championship contender Richard Westbrook is third in once another Porsche 911, while former his team mate and now opponent Emanuel Collard is 9th in his new #97 Porsche 911 GT3 RSR, albeit qualifie by his new car mate Ragginger.

On a final note, next year GT1 cars, the Matech Ford GT1 and the Nismo GT-R R35, barely managed to qualify ahead of GT2 cars. I'd have expected some better results by the end of this experimental season. I'm more interested in good action and motorsports rather than pure speed and performance, so we'll next year how it'll be.
