Introduced at the Salone dell’Automobile di Torino in November 1964, the Super Sport would be produced in only 150 units. It came as the successor to the Flaminia Sport and was the final iteration of the Flaminia model.

The Super Sport featured the kamm-tail, a more elegant front grille, “teardrop” headlights, and a lowered front bonnet. Its 2.8-liter V6 engine was the legacy of Vittorio Jano, and it delivered 152 horsepower.

For the bodywork, several light alloys were used, totaling about 25% of the total weight of the car, which made it the the production car with the highest use of these materials at the time. Thanks to these characteristics, the Super Sport was the first non-racing Lancia to break the 200km/h top speed, with a declared 210km/h.

The conserved status of this Flaminia Super Sport makes it the perfect candidate to compete in world-class concours d’élégance, particularly in preservation categories, where it would undoubtedly stand out for its authenticity and historical integrity.

Alfa Romeo positioned the 1900 as “The family car that wins races,” emphasizing both its practicality and sporting potential.

The car’s success in motorsport reinforced this dual-purpose identity. It competed in legendary events such as the 1000 Miglia, the Targa Florio, and various touring car championships, proving its capabilities on both road and track.

In 1989, Porsche revived the Speedster name with the introduction of the 911 Speedster. This model was based on the 911 Carrera 3.2, which was part of the G-body series produced from 1984 to 1989.

The 1989 Speedster was designed as a tribute to the original 356 Speedster, combining some of its classic design cues with the 911 body. The 911 Speedster featured a low-cut windshield, a double-bubble rear hump, and a manually operated soft top. These design elements were inspired by the 356 Speedster and gave the car a distinctive look.

The interior was also simplified, with the rear seats removed to save weight.

Delivered new to Porsche distributor Raffay in Hamburg on October 21, 1970, this Porsche 911 2.2 S has enjoyed a well-documented history across several distinguished German cities, including Stuttgart, Ludwigsburg, and Traunstein, before landing in the hands of Staffan Wittmark, founder of Gant.

Thanks to a meticulous restoration performed a decade ago, every element of the car adheres strictly to its original factory specifications. The bodywork wears its rare, factory-correct ‘Grünmetallic’ (code 8383).

Inside, the cabin has been fully restored with seats upholstered in black leatherette and the rare Pepita cloth. Mechanically, every component was carefully examined, with the 2,195cc air-cooled flat-six engine and dog-leg 5-speed gearbox rebuilt to offer reliability. The Fuchs wheels, designed in collaboration with Otto Fuchs KG, remain a defining feature, contributing to the car’s lightweight handling dynamics. Further enhancing its period-correct authenticity, the car retains its original jack, tool kit, and is Porsche Classic certified.

Everything shifted for the 911 from 1969 to 1971 with the 2.2 S.

With the larger 2.2-liter flat-six and mechanical fuel injection (MFI), the 2.2 S delivered 180 horsepower, about 20 horsepower more than its predecessor (2.0 S). This gave the car a top speed of 230 km/h. It wasn’t just fast, it was precise and agile thanks to chassis and suspension improvements.

This adjustment not only improved weight distribution but also increased the vehicle’s overall stability and handling.

If Steve McQueen, ‘The King of Cool,’ chose to open his racing film ‘Le Mans (1971)’ behind the wheel of his slate gray Porsche 2.2 S, driving through the French countryside to the circuit, there was a reason.

The Teutonic house of Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen had forged, once and for all, the icon of the ultimate sports car: the 911 as we know it today. From the banker to the pl***oy, the 2.2 S was at home.

Perfect for going to the office, on a Sunday drive, or on the track, or even to park it in front of the club before going in. From the tailored Italian suit to the leather jacket and Persol sunglasses, and from the racing overalls to the linen shirt.
