If the ideal garage for every motor enthusiast (V12 or otherwise) could have a shape and an address, for this 2024 I would say that an excellent candidate would be the Motor1.com and Motorsport.com stand at Vintage Motorcycle Car 2024at the Bologna Fair.
In fact, between 24 and 27 October, in pavilion 31 dedicated to the Motor Valley, the best of the “Land of Motors” will be exhibited at our stand with the common denominator being “THE ART OF THE V12” and amazing cars such as: Maserati MC12 Versione Corse, Bugatti EB110, Lamborghini LM002, Pagani Zonda S 7.0, Dallara F192 F1 and Ferrari F312B F1 protagonist of the famous docu-film. There will also be a W12that of the Bentley Continental GT, but this is another story that I will tell you soon in “Why Buy it Classic”. But it didn’t end here.
Motorsport.com Italia in pole-position
At our stand you will also see one Ducati 851 Superbike. No, we weren’t wrong. The Borgo Panigale manufacturer certainly couldn’t miss the stand dedicated to the best of the Motor Valley and the “851” was not chosen by chance.
On the thirty-year anniversary of the passing of Ayrton Sennahis favorite motorbike accompanies the words of Franco Nugnes, Director of Motorsport.com Italy and author of the wonderful volume – “Senna. The truths” – dedicated to the Brazilian champion, who tragically passed away in Imola in that terrible 1994 GP.
Anecdotes and memories will then be enriched in a very personal and genuine way also by the presence of Senna’s friend, Angelo Orsi (Saturday 26th), while Giorgio Ascanelli will share the stage with Nugnes on Sunday 27th October. The timetable details in the program below.
V12 (and W12) dream
Okay, the Bentley Continental GT is not a V12, but a W12, but since it is also the space dedicated to the “Classic” of Motor1.com, I thought I would offer a preview of the next “Why Buy it Classic” which you will soon find on our channel YouTube.
So, “W the 12 cylinder, always, even when it’s a V6x2”. But now let’s move on to the V12s at Auto e Moto d’Epoca 2024 and here ladies and gentlemen, you need to make yourself comfortable. Ready?
The Maserati MC12 Versione Corse is the racing version of the Maserati MC12 (12-cylinder Maserati Corse), which debuted in 2004 at the Imola 500 km. Compared to the GT1 “Short Nose” from which it derives, the “Corse Version” brings with it various technical and equipment changes.
In “Blu Victory” color, the MC12 Versione Corse was produced in 3 prototypes + 12 units. Franco Nugnes and Giorgio Ascanelli will talk about these incredible cars, a true synthesis of the Motor Valley (thanks to the collaboration with Ferrari and Dallara), on Sunday 27 October.
The Bugatti EB110 takes its name from the 110th anniversary of the birth of Ettore Bugatti (born 15 September 1881). Designed by Bugatti Automobili of Campogalliano (MO), at the time owned by the Mantuan entrepreneur Romano Artioli, thanks also to Paolo Stanzani, it anticipated the concept of the “hypercar” with its quad-turbo V12 engine, highly technological for the time.
I will talk about her at our stand on Sunday 27 October, together with those who saw this hypercar born and grow, Federico Canovi and Daniele Golinelli.
