Devo ammettere che negli ultimi mesi la voglia di aggiornare il blog è mancata parecchio, ma vorrei rifarmi con un bel post che, come da tradizione, abbassa la scure sulle auto che più mi hanno colpito in questo 2009 ormai agli sgoccioli. Per questa terza edizione ho deciso anche di elencare le vetture in ordine di preferenza,stilando insomma una sorta di mini-classifica. Non sarà prestigioso come l' Ecoty di Evo, ma spero che la (lunga) lettura non vi annoi troppo. Saluti e buon 2010 a tutti!
15)Pagani Zonda R ( fuori classifica )
If it was a road car would end up at the top of my personal list, because I am more than convinced that the Zonda R has instantly earned a place among the best car of all time. The photo above is not chosen at random is that without the slightest doubt, better understand how pasta is made R: high-art engineering and style come together in shaping a masterpiece on wheels. After all just look at the exhaust ceramic quad-terminal surrounded by the ocean carbon to understand what is really great version of the most extraordinary creature by Horacio Pagani. The Zonda R is BROUGHT OUT OF CLASS . It would be a victory troppo facile.
14) Aston Martin Cygnet Concept
Teoricamente la Cygnet sarebbe una delle tre Aston presenti in questa classifica. “Sarebbe” e non “è”, visto che mi rifiuto di considerarla un prodotto della stessa casa che sforna capolavori del calibro di DBS e Vantage. Anche perchè a dirla tutta sotto la goffa carrozzeria non lo è nemmeno, essendo essenzialmente una ben meno nobile Toyota iQ. La domanda che mi salta in mente è una sola: perchè diavolo a Gaydon hanno sentito la necessità di partorire un simile aborto, un vero e proprio insulto al resto della gamma? La Cygnet è bruttissima e maledettamente insensata; in un’unica word, an abomination. REJECTED.
13) BMW 5 GT
I thought after that horrible X6 in Monaco would not be able to shape something uglier and more useless, but I am promptly denied. The GT Series 5 is neither a sedan nor an SUV nor a SW, but a PAS: an acronym coined by the marketing wizards to define a new BMW, "exciting" niche market. The mixture is that it came out of immeasurable ugliness, so horrible that I can hardly believe that anyone in their right mind would throw away mountains of € on such a disgrace. The 5 GT he gets the coveted prize of "the ugliest car of 2009, according to the undersigned." Bad and useless, can only be REJECTED.
12) Porsche Boxster Spyder
rating could be summed up in "Porsche plays the Lotus but fails as well." In fact, in Stuttgart have decided to follow the straight path of light and hard and pure sports car, but the result is not exactly exciting. They took a Boxster, depriving it of the folding roof, climate control, radio and even door handles (stuff that even the earliest dated spartan Elise '96 ...) and save around eighty pounds. Not exactly a staggering figure, given that the Boxster Spyder (as he calls it, a clear reference to the superb 550 of '55) of pounds it still weighs less than 1300, or nearly half a ton more than an Elise with current radio , air conditioning, door handles and a roof that is not comparable to tissue paper. Needless to say the Spyder is more expensive than the more well-equipped standard Boxster S, and even more useless to point out that at a price of over € 65 thousand in the garage you can take a Lotus Exige with full optional performance package, a far cry compared with an excellent hairdresser's car while trying to pose as uncompromising sports. BOCCIATA .
11) Lexus LFA
Dopo anni di concept, aspettative e proroghe è finalmente arrivata la supercar by Lexus. Il suo tecnologico cuore V10, già osannato dai tester di tutto il mondo, permette di raggiungere le eccezionali prestazioni che erano state promesse con una facilità sconcertante. La linea non si è discostata molto da quella della prima concept, e per fortuna: la LFA non ha solo le prestazioni da supercar, ma anche il look. L’unico problema è il prezzo: decisamente troppo alto per una Lexus, anche se unica ed estrema come questa. I quasi 400mila euro che bisogna sborsare per portarsela a casa la collocano in una fascia dove la concorrenza is too fierce. The LFA is a successful experiment, but went to position themselves in the wrong place. REJECTED.
10) Lotus Exige S MY2010
After exactly five years into the beast of giving small house Hethel renews the look. Plastic surgery that does not seem to be completely successful: the large rear wing borrowed from the GT3 Concept of 2007 makes it most certainly bad, but the front splitter is false and the new features of the air intake is plain. The changes will also be functional, but aesthetically as a whole has lost a large part of sportsmanship is not vulgar spurted by the lines drawn by the pen of Steve Crijns back in 2004. In version Cup 260 (picture) the lifting seems more digestible, perhaps due to conflicting details in carbon finish. The unmistakable silhouette, almost perfect and the now immortal Exige really needed a refresher? Personally I doubt it ...
The model year of 2010 Lotus Exige S is PALATE.
9) Mercedes AMG SLS
no getting around it, I say it now: I do not like the SLS. Has little of the charm of the legendary ancestor of the 50s and doors apart, even from the stylistic point of view I find it far from exceptional. The curves the rear are by no means contemptible, but the front is ugly and awkward, the interior resemble those of the usual monotonous and dull, boring Mercedes. However, the first test drive seems to be much more valid and that the mechanism is undoubtedly first-rate, as well as performance guarantees. Ultimately, despite leaving me rather chilly, I must acknowledge that the SLS is probably the only interesting model of the range Mercedes and has certain objective qualities that can not be ignored. The new Gullwing is PROMOTED , although personally with that money (a lot) I would take much more ...
8) Jaguar XJ
operation is comparable only to reshape the silhouette of the legendary Porsche 911, this is a challenge that was launched in the Jaguar lay plans for the new generation of the flagship XJ. A revolution after decades of almost invisible facelift: the old jaguar is shaking off the classic and austere leather for entering a totally new, modern and more dynamic. Now, the XJ is not only the vice of anzianotti golfers across the Channel, is a true sports sedan one step (if not two) ahead of any opponent. The icing on the cake, I think that there are more beautiful than the internal ammaraglia by new Jaguar. PROMOTED.
7) Ford Focus RS
Cavalry front-wheel drive and have never gone very well. At least until the first of the new Focus RS. Three hundred, three hundred horse and say grounded at only two wheels (and not the rear). I would scream for understeer bias incredible, but somehow Ford has succeeded in miracles, because, according to the opinions of those who sat behind the wheel, the RS is extraordinary and represents a revolution for sports front-wheel drive. E 'tacky, sure, but it looks like a real rally car and is not a style like the horrid abortion (but unfortunately invalid) rival Megane RS. PROMOTED.
6) Aston Martin Rapide
Her pregnancy was not as long as that of the Panamera, but close enough. But now it is finally submitted the final version of the sedan Aston Martin the differences with the concept a few years ago can be counted on the fingers of one hand. The Rapide is beautiful, a true four-door coupe, infinitely more beautiful than the awkward by rival Porsche, Quattroporte has more of a class, more charm than the new XJ and the right cards to be the best in its class. Reveals that the price tag is not cheap: Do not complain, is a real Aston Martin in this ... PROMOTED.
5) Lamborghini Gallardo LP550 "V. Balboni "
What better way to honor a test so exceptional as out of his mind? The Lambo thank Valentino Balboni for his decades of militia with a very special version of the little house: a return to the (beastly) sources with manual transmission and rear wheel drive strictly. A gem for the chosen few dangerous and costly double-edged sword, this is the Gallardo LP550. PROMOTED.
4) Porsche 997 GT3 MkII
911 GT3: Two words that would be enough to express what you might say about the best of Porsche. The latest version is even more powerful, more and more bad racing: the true DNA of Mercedes-Benz is all here, and has little in common with that of hybrids such as the botched Panamera (rejected last year, for those who points) or with the cars coming out of the devil as the marketing base Cayenne. Luckily someone in Zuffenhausen have my head straight and remember that small number of enthusiasts who expect only the latest incarnation of the competitive spirit that depopulated (and depopulated again) on tracks all over the world. The GT3 is "the" Porsche, point, for me, the rest of the range could also disappear. PROMOTED.
3) Aston Martin V12 Vantage
The small house of a beautiful Aston undergoes transplant and finds herself in the trunk of the huge V12 DBS big sister. The nature of anything but hardcore V8 comes out unrecognizable with the V12 Vantage is voted to become a beast bad driving thrills. Very nice, though a little less than the bigger (and expensive) DBS, has charisma and class to spare. And then there is the voice talent flow from the new engine, so powerful and exquisite vintage to remember the prototypes darting between Mulsanne e Maison Blanche negli anni ’70. La V12 Vantage non ha l’accuratezza teutonica di una Porsche o la lieve strafottenza di una supercar emiliana, non è esente da difetti e non è certamente il mezzo più veloce e coinvolgente che con quella somma vi potreste comprare. La verità? Probabilmente non è altro che pura arte su ruote. PROMOSSA .
2) Ferrari 458 Italia
Dopo cinque anni va in pensione la F430 e la berlinetta V8 Ferrari si evolve alzando la posta in gioco. Fra le novità tecniche figurano il motore V8 da 570 cavalli in grado di spingere fino a 9000 giri e il nuovo cambio a doppia frizione. Il design è una rivoluzione: addio alle linee più classiche delle progenitrici, sulla 458 il taglio con passato è più che netto. Abbiamo un posteriore volgarotto, una fiancata superba e un anteriore ancora da digerire, ma nel complesso, sia tecnicamente che stilisticamente, la 458 Italia va a rappresentare il nuovo punto di riferimento nel mercato delle supercar: PROMOSSA .
1) Lamborghini Murcielago LP670-4 SV
Siamo arrivati al punto più alto della classifica: il gradino più alto del podio è regno dell’ultima evoluzione, la versione definitiva, la più estrema della leggendaria stirpe Murcielago nata nel 2001. È un triste addio dopo otto anni, ma si può senza certainly say that the SV is the swan song of the most exciting I've ever plowed the streets of this land. Fast, brutal, savage, an exhibitionist and a bit 'Tamarra: the LP670 embodies everything that has to be a true Hypercar, including the staggering price tag. E 'car so exceptional that I doubt that his successor can do better. And then there's the roar of that V12 pushing behind him, so powerful, ethereal and energetic to rival the trumpets of the Apocalypse. The super-fast and super to the original recipe of Modena without any additive, the image that springs to mind when you think of the generic concept supercar, the car that even the most fierce opponent of secretly wants to have four wheels, is the dream of every child.
The Murcielago SV won the title of the second car of the humble opinion of myself. PROMOTED.
15)Pagani Zonda R ( fuori classifica )
If it was a road car would end up at the top of my personal list, because I am more than convinced that the Zonda R has instantly earned a place among the best car of all time.
