The Pagani Zonda R has finally stretched its legs on track – lapping it up at Monza in the rain. Cheers to any pilot who’s got the goods to muscle a 750 horse rear driver around one of the quickest tracks on the boot in the rain. There’s no word on what kind of time [...]
With all this talk of Lamborghini Gallardos I figured we might as well declare today Raging Bull Day and just have it. As such, I declare the above pic to be five kinds of awesome. That’s a Lambo 400GT, living the life and the dream. In fact, you should check out the full-size image. It’s [...]

Whoops-a-daisy! Earlier we posted a picture of the yellow Dino seen above and I said, “I think it’s a 330 P4, or based on that design, but the snout is wrong, as is the badge and well I just don’t know. But I like it.” At least I had the good sense to like it. [...]
You know I must say, this Chrysler-Fiat deal is looking better all the time. Long story real short, through platform swappage and localized manufacturing, Chrysler’s relationship with Fiat should yield seven — count ‘em – seven new cars for us Yanks here in America. Most importantly (to me) is Fiat’s scrappy little 500. If you dig [...]
We love good news. Especially good Italian news. And when that good Italian news is not only affordable but possibly coming to America, we smile double. You’ve heard rumors of the Alfa MiTo GTA and it’s turbocharged 230 hp 1.75-liter mill for some time. And now we can happily report it’s all true! Coming in [...]
Fiat’s planning to bring a topless Fiat 500 to the Geneva Auto Show. The rag-top 500 was all that was missing from Fiat’s arsenal to properly assault the MINI. The company managed to work in the top mechanism without encroaching too much on the already slim interior room, allowing for a four-seat configuration. Still, we’d [...]
Usually when my RSS reader starts beeping and flashing I contemplate why it is that I don’t pour bourbon in my coffee. But, once or twice a day we get an item like this from Jalop’s Wes Siler. Someone on FerrariChat told Captain Siler that they’ve seen the next big bull and knows all the stats. [...]
I know, I know. One mention of the word “Dino” and I’m off making POTDs about the Fiat Dinos. I know! I’m sick. I need help. I can’t help myself. But I mean, come on! Look at this Bertone designed beauty. You love it. Admit it — for me — you guys totally love it. [...]
Today’s POTD is inspired by the intriguing Alfa van from earlier in the day. You can’t just mention Alfa Romeo and then not show some hot metal. With that in mind, I present you with three Breras. Actually not any old Brera, but the very rare, Brit-only Brera S tuned by ProDrive. I call dibs on [...]
Talk to any Alfa owner and you’ll quickly learn that half the fun of ownership is the monthly 200 mile parts run. Transmission boot, starter motor, short circuits — essentially anything that touches fluids or electrons. They’re all temporary and need to be replaced. Often. And how sweet would it be if you had an Alfa [...]
