Si è conclusa ieri l'edizione 2018 del Concorso d'Eleganza di Villa d'Este patrocinato da BMW. 

Assegnato in tarda serata dalla Giuria, il Trofeo BMW Group ha premiato la sportività e lo stile della Ferrari 335 Sport.

Ferrari 335 Sport (1958)
Motore V12, 4.023 cc, 430 hp @ 8.000 rpm
Carrozzeria: Spider, Scaglietti
Concorrente: Andreas Mohringer (Austria)

Senza alcuna esagerazione, si può affermare che la 335 Sport rappresenta l’apice di tutte le auto da corsa Ferrari dell’epoca dei motori anteriori. Tra le auto più costose mai battute all’asta, esistono ancora solo tre vetture di questo tipo. Con la quarta il pilota e viveur Alfonso Marquis de Portago rimase coinvolto nel gravissimo incidente di Guidizzolo alla Mille Miglia del 1957 che segnò il destino di questa leggendaria corsa.

Ringraziando per l'attenzione che vorrai dare a questa notizia, Ti inviamo in allegato tre immagini della Ferrari 335 Sport e le liste di tutte le vetture e delle motociclette premiate in questa edizione del Concorso. Ricordiamo che questa e altre informazioni sul nostro Gruppo saranno presto disponibili anche sui media website dedicati alla stampa: www.press.bmwgroup.com (comunicati e foto) e http://bmw.lulop.com (filmati) e ti segnaliamo che una più ampia selezione di immagini (libere da diritti per esclusivo uso stampa) del Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este 2018 è disponibile collegandosi al seguente indirizzo:

Press Release 27th May 2018

 

Ferrari 335 Sport wins the Trofeo BMW Group as “Best of Show” at the Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este 2018.

 

The international Jury of experts selects the front-engine sports racing car from 1958 as this year’s overall winner of the most exclusive beauty contest for historic cars with a rich heritage tradition +++ Illustrious award goes to an automobile manufactured in Italy for the fifth time in succession +++ Glittering finish to the Festival of Elegance held under the motto “Hollywood on the Lake”.

 

Munich/Cernobbio. And the Trofeo BMW Group goes to: the Ferrari 335 Sport manufactured in 1958. The Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este 2018 in Cernobbio, Northern Italy, was today crowned with the presentation of the “Best of Show”, awarded to the front-engine sports racing car owned by Andreas Mohringer from Austria. The presentation of the award provided the magnificent culmination of the beauty contest for historic vehicles staged jointly by the BMW Group and the Grand Hotel Villa d’Este under the motto “Hollywood on the Lake”. The beauty pageant focuses the limelight on outstanding rare treasures from the world of automobiles and motorcycles.

 

The international Jury of experts led by its President Lorenzo Ramaciotti selected a vehicle made in Italy for the fifth time in succession. “This is a genuine racing car but it is absolutely fine for driving on the roads,” recounted the proud owner of the winning automobile and added: “However, you need a strong hand to do that.” Mohringer has taken part in the Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este a number of times and he expressed his enthusiasm about the magnificent atmosphere at the Grand Hotel Villa d’Este. He is not of course alone in being

 

impressed by the illustrious venue. “I well remember when I came here for the first time with my daughter – she announced to me that she wanted to get married here.”

 

The winning automobile of the Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este 2018 is the youngest of only four cars of this type ever built. The tubular steel frame is styled with an outer skin produced in aluminium by coachbuilder Carrozzeria Scaglietti. The Ferrari 335 Sport made its sports racing debut in 1957 powered by a four-litre V12 engine generating 390 hp. Spanish driver Alfonso Marquis de Portago suffered a fatal accident in one of the cars at the Mille Miglia in 1957. The accident caused the death of eleven people, including the driver, his co-driver and nine spectators, and the legendary endurance race was permanently banned from the roads of Northern Italy as a result. The car shown here on the shores of Lake Como was produced in 1958 and an advanced V12 engine was installed with power enhanced to 430 hp and capable of achieving a top speed of more than 300 km/h. The Ferrari 335 Sport is regarded as the pinnacle of the front-engine era in the brand’s motor-sport history.

 

“It is always difficult to select the Best of Show from the winners in eight award classes because the difference between a Formula 1 automobile and a vehicle from 1913 is very great,” mused Jury President Lorenzo Ramaciotti. “In this case, the rare nature and the outstanding engineering were the deciding factors. The Ferrari 335 Sport was the most powerful sports car from this marque, and for a long time also the fastest. Then there was the fact that the recently completed restoration had been carried out to the very highest standards.”

 

The specialist international Jury had already announced the winners and placings in the eight classes for historic cars. They were selected from a distinguished field of 50 automobiles that lined up at the start of the contest with the aim of enthusing the Jury and the public with their outstanding condition and fascinating history. The list below presents the “Best of Show” and all the class winners alongside those vehicles bestowed with a Mention of Honour.
