Alfa Romeo Brera Concept '2002

Alfa Romeo Brera

Alfa Romeo is a legendary Italian brand founded in Milan in 1910. Its history reflects the main stages in the development of the entire European car industry. In the early years, she specialized in the production of expensive cars with high dynamic performance.

The Alfa Romeo Brera concept car is a project by Italdesign, presented at the 2002 Geneva Motor Show. The design of its body, with some changes, passed to the production model, in contrast to the mechanics.

It is difficult to determine what dominates the design of the car - the "generic" signs of the brand or the fresh ideas of Giugiaro. In favor of the first one is evidenced by the "alpha" radiator grille in the form of a shield, dominating in the design of the front end, traditionally round headlights, round cutouts in 20-inch rims with different-sized tires, rounded contours. In favor of the second - solid air intakes in an integral bumper, windshield turning into a transparent roof, guillotine-type doors, an abundance of polished aluminum in the cabin, front and rear lighting technology of the same shape, a "formula" filler neck, double rectangular exhaust pipes. Purely arithmetically, there are more innovations, but they are so competently linked with the "classics" that, on the whole, a very successful and harmonious combination is formed. In general, the result of the "compilation" is beyond criticism. Had the design award of the year been awarded, Giugiaro would have won it "in view of a clear advantage."

The Brera has a 2 + 2 landing formula, despite its rather solid dimensions (4388x1894x1289 mm): in "Big Tourism" a 4-seater car is nonsense. Not enough for the GT category and the current maximum Alfa Romeo engines of 250 hp. The engine that meets these requirements (V8, 4.3 l, 390 hp, 451 Nm) is borrowed from the Maserati Coupe, and to improve weight distribution, it is slightly shifted back relative to the front axle.

For the same purpose, the Cambiocorsa 6-speed electro-hydraulic sequential gearbox with gearshift buttons on the steering wheel (Alfa Romeo calls it Selespeed, Ferrari F1) is interlocked with the main gear. The drive with such a "filling" is, of course, rear, but the official press release casually mentions the joint work of ItalDesign and the engineering firm Mantovani on an all-wheel drive transmission.

The use of Maserati units may serve as indirect confirmation of rumors that Fiat Auto S.p.A. intends to form an exclusive luxury car group with some unification, which will include Alfa Romeo, Ferrari and Maserati. Brera may become her firstborn. According to Giugiaro, "except for the doors, there is nothing utopian in it."

Rinspeed E-Go Rocket Concept (1998)

Rinspeed E-Go Rocket Concept

As many times before the Rinspeed Design company, led by Frank M. Rinderknecht, has come up with something very special: the small Swiss automobile specialist has created a vehicle that blends traditional beauty and forward-looking technology in a most impressive way - the Rinspeed E-Go Rocket. Inspired by one of the world famous record setting cars on the salt flats and developed in only six months time, his company's contribution to the Geneva "Salon de l'Auto", is an eye-catcher that could well generate active discussion among the visitors.

The high-performance tires come from Continental, which are mounted on specially developed wheels supplied by Antera. Running-gear technology comes from the Eibach company, which not only works for the leading international motor-sport teams but also for the McLaren Formula 1 Racing Team. For the Rinspeed E-Go Rocket, Eibach is exhibiting in Geneva competition shock absorbers with four-position adjustment which it has itself developed. The Remus company has produced an optimized-flow exhaust system for the Rinspeed E-Go Rocket.

The Swiss company Rieter Automotive Systems supplied the finest of all carpets for the interior, the acoustic foams and the heat-shields. The vehicle was built by TLC Carossiers Inc. in Florida and transported by the air-freight specialist Lufthansa Cargo to Europe. Burg Design created stunning interior and exterior elements by the use of a special high-tech process. Audio entertainment and flawless route planning are taken care of by a hi-fi radio and CD system and the first-class navigation equipment from Philips Car Systems. The custom luggage bag was made by the Swiss travel goods company De'Shama.

Frank M. Rinderknecht utilized the very latest techniques in his development work. The vehicle was drafted out by computerized (CAD/CAM) methods. Changes are scarcely ever needed when the full-scale model is made. As Rinderknecht explains: "Using CAD/CAM, we obtain unsurpassed processing quality and also an unbeatable development speed."

Under the hood E-Go Rocket

Under the wide engine cover, the supercharged aluminum-block V8 engine has a rated output of 410 horsepower. This compact and centrally located power-pack accelerates the single-seater to 100 km/h from a standstill in just 4.8 seconds (and on to a top speed of 260 km/h). The Rinspeed E-Go Rocket's composite body gives it outstanding strength and rigidity, but at the same time keeps its weight down to 1'050 kilograms. The inclination of the windshield is adjustable to the speed driven. The interior presents itself also in a new way: The seat is covered in washed blue denim. The 18-inch wheels are shod with 235/50 and 255/45 tires.

The Rinspeed E-Go Rocket, Frank M. Rinderknecht's latest automobile creation as its precessor the Rinspeed Mono Ego, is equally notable for the fact that it is a fully road-going car that complies with valid European Union legislation.

"We wanted to build an exclusive car, but one that could be taken out on the roads as well as acting as a pilot project at exhibitions." With these words, Rinderknecht emphasizes the ambitious objectives he put into effect when designing and building the Rinspeed E-Go Rocket.
