PORSCHE 911 - THE EARLY YEARS ( Post 2 of 2 ) There’s no other car like the Porsche 911. Since 1963 it stays faithful to its layout and its overall shape: one of the purest, most balanced, beautiful design in car history. All this with that odd choice to put the engine ( a flat six even if in the early years you could buy also the four cylinders 912) in the back that, coupled with the rear wheel drive, built the myth of a car that’s difficult to mate because of its impredictable handling. Originally named “901” (brochures were already printed) Porsche had to switch to 911 because Peugeot claimed the right to use car names with the “0” in the middle. All along the years the car evolved and there are models that are particulary appreciated or, on the contrary, considered worse than others. The switch to water-cooling – with the codenamend 996 of 1997 – from air-cooling was judged a betrayal by hardcore aficionados. Most venerated model is maybe the 1972 Carrera Rs. 1975 was the year of the first 911 turbo. I like all 911s. I’ve a weakness for the ’80s models and of course, for the early years: when the 911 was not so a fast and powerful car ( excpet maybe the S versions) but sure one of the coolest cars ever. #porsche911

Lamborghini Countach (1974 - 1990 ). Designed by Marcello Gandini ( then at Bertone ) this car had the role of Miura’s substitute in Lamborghini lineup. The company usually choosed fight bulls names as model moniker. Countach, instead (truth or legend) came from Piedmont dialect: it seems that a guy working in the Bertone design studio when he saw the car for the first time exclaimed “Countach!” ( literally “plague or Infection”) meaning something like “WTF!”. #lamborghinicountach
