When you pour Italian passion in cars.....

avatar November 24, 2011 08:49AM
When people call me a bit of a petrolhead I can only plead guilty. But of course there are cars and cars. Last summer I visited an Italian car festival at the Dutch racetrack of Zandvoort. Very special about this racetrack is that it is build in the sand dunes that seperate the sea and beach from the mainland. It was a wonderful day with lots of sun, cars and there for......pictures!

Of course no Italian car festival without Ferrari!

Photobucket

Ferrari old style

Photobucket

Ferrari Enzo; most certainly impressive but to call it beautiful?

Photobucket

High performance engines like the Enzo need a lot of air

Photobucket

The engine that needs the tons of air

Photobucket

The Enzo's taillights that fortunately also made it to some of the other models

Photobucket

I was very surprised to see a lot of cars in other colors then expected (read Rosso Corsa)

Photobucket

The rims looked amazing on a Ferrari this color

Photobucket

So 70's! Ferrari 412 and one of my favorites because it has a understatement not common to Ferrari and is a true GT

Photobucket

Big fan of Maserati and although I prefer the coupe is this GranCabrio a beauty!

Photobucket

Mean...beautiful....both?

Photobucket

Impressive is also that is can comfortably hold 4 people!

Photobucket

Three Maserati's from three different times

Photobucket

Dated? Perhaps, but nothing less impressive

Photobucket

Old cars have delightfully old engines!

Photobucket

The older the better?

Photobucket

DeTomaso Pantera.....no words needed!

Photobucket

Even the parking lot was a lot of fun!

Photobucket

Lamborghini Jarama; a bull of a car you don't see often

Photobucket

Loved the color of this Maserati 3200 GT

Photobucket

Also Alfa Romeo was there with something new...

Photobucket

And something a little older......this one was designed by Zagato!

Photobucket

Italian passion doesn't always mean big cars; a Fiat 500 Abarth

Photobucket

The rims of the modern version of the Fiat 500 Abarth....

A beautiful day
