Tribute to a Porsche Classic

11/27/2007, Stuttgart -- Dr. Ing. h. c. F. Porsche AG, Stuttgart, is presenting a new version of the mid-engine Boxster sports car at the Bologna Motor Show in early December. In its colour, design, features and philosophy, the Boxster RS 60 Spyder brings back Porsche’s motorsport era of the ‘60s: After countless class wins, the Porsche Type 718 RS 60 Spyder was able to take on and beat its competitors also in the larger engine categories, scoring its first overall victory in 1960 in one of the most prestigious long-distance races for the Manufacturers’ World Championship in the important US market, Hans Herrmann/Olivier Gendebien winning the 12 Hours of Sebring in Florida.

28/11/2007 -- The 2007 Bologna Motor Show will be held from 7-16 December, and on the strength of its commercial successes and the critical acclaim received this year, Fiat Professional will also be attending this international event. The undisputed stars of the show will be the Fiat Scudo and Fiat Fiorino models: the first was recently named “International Van of the Year 2008”, while the recent launch of the second model attracted great interest from press and public alike.

26/11/2007 -- The critical acclaim surrounding the Fiat 500 shows no sign of fading: so far, the international awards garnered by the new model have included the Car of the Year 2008, EuroCarBody 2007, European Car 2008 and Auto più Bella del Mondo 2008 titles.

26/11/2007 -- A stand all in black and white is the perfect backdrop for the dynamic design of Lancia’s two latest models: the New Musa and the Ypsilon Sport MomoDesign. Here, in essence, is the “spirit” that pervades the whole Lancia exhibit in Bologna, inspired by “Lancia Fashion”, the original concept which will be applied at all forthcoming international motor shows as well as in the brand’s new showrooms around the world, the first of which was inaugurated last September in Torino.

28/11/2007 -- For the first time at the Bologna Motor Show, the reborn Fiat Abarth marque makes a comeback with its own dedicated stand of powerful visual impact which, in line with its relaunch philosophy, was designed to highlight innovation using a fresh, up-to-date language, with leading-edge technology and refinement in the smallest details.

The galvanized steel floor and the ‘naked’ technology of the monitors provide an effective contrast to the luxurious shiny white environment, the mirrorlike effect of the large illuminated sign and the special chromed guardrails, evocative technical details delimiting the area of the boutique and the boundary of the stand.

28/11/2007 -- At the 32nd Bologna Motor Show, Fiat Group Automobiles has dedicated a stand to its Autonomy Programme. The company has been operating this initiative since 1995 and through it provides services and individual and community vehicles to the physically challenged, always keeping pace with product novelties as they appear and making cars as user-friendly as possible to the disabled.
