Crossed Excellence - At the crossroads of German precision and Italian flair, the Porsche 356 Carrera GTL Abarth emerged as a small but formidable marvel of automotive history. In the late 1950s, the Porsche 356 Carrera was feeling the heat from nimble competitors like Alfa Romeo and Lotus, whose smaller engines were proving surprisingly competitive. The solution? Transform the Carrera into a lightweight, aerodynamically sharper contender—one that could dominate racetracks without losing the brand’s hallmark engineering integrity. This mission gave birth to a vehicle that would become one of the rarest and most captivating sports-racing cars of its era, with construction beginning in 1960.

The project began with Porsche’s decision to take advantage of a new FIA regulation allowing special bodywork as long as the car retained at least 95 percent of its original weight. The sturdy 1.6-liter Fuhrmann flat-four engine was already a potent powerhouse, but reducing weight and refining aerodynamics promised to turnthe Carrerainto a genuine “giant-killer.” To achieve this, Porsche entrusted the Italian tuning legend Carlo Abarth, whose reputation for lightweight Fiat-based racers was already flourishing, with the task of creating just 20 specialized bodies for the 356B chassis. A shared Austrian heritage likely made the collaboration smoother, bridging the cultural gap between Stuttgart and Turin.

Abarth enlisted Franco Scaglione, an audacious designer renowned for his work with Zagato, to craft the car’s new aesthetic. While the original plan involved Zagato’s hands-on involvement, the first few bodies were actually built by a smaller Turinese firm, Viarenzo & Filliponi, before Rocco Motto took over the remaining units. Motto’s craftsmanship earned praise from Porsche engineers, cementing the Carrera GTL’s reputation as a meticulously constructed machine, despite the small batch and hand-built nature of the series.

The resulting car was a triumph of design and engineering. Scaglione’s aluminum bodywork lowered the car by roughly five inches, narrowing and shortening it to reduce drag from 0.398 to 0.365. Ingenious details like inlaid door handles and an adjustable rear scoop enhanced both form and function, while careful reinforcement of the chassis kept the weight around 780 kilograms—just enough to comply with FIA standards. Every aspect of the exterior spoke of purpose: sleek fenders, vents, and a lowered profile combined to create a silhouette that was as aerodynamic as it was seductive.

The Carrera GTL’s interior mirrored its exterior’s uncompromising approach. Early prototypes challenged even the tallest engineers with low roofs and a spartan cabin designed more for racing than comfort. Ventilation and practical adjustments were added over time, culminating in a cockpit that was functional yet unmistakably stylish. These details reinforced the car’s dual identity: a breathtaking design statement and a competitive race car capable of performing at the highest level.

Under the hood, the 1.6-liter flat-four engine delivered around 135 horsepower, allowing the lightweight Carrera GTL to punch well above its weight. Its nimble handling and impressive speed were validated on some of the world’s toughest tracks. Notably, the car claimed its class at the 1962 24 Hours of Le Mans, proving that its engineering prowess could translate into real-world success. Production of these cars was extremely limited, spanning roughly 1960 to 1963, with only about 20 units ever built, many of which have been lost or destroyed over the decades. | YcyON_teCGE | U_muzLZJ3pc |
Today, the Porsche 356 Carrera GTL Abarthstands as a symbol of intercultural collaboration, technical ingenuity, and timeless design. Its story captures a moment when Porsche’s methodical German engineering met Abarth’s fiery Italian creativity, resulting in a car that could both captivate the eye and conquer the track.

Aerodynamic Rarity - There is something universally captivating about machines that dared to imagine the future long before society caught up. Long before wind-tunnel simulations became a standard step in automotive development, a handful of designers were already trying to bend the air to their will. Their experiments often resulted in shapes that looked eccentric by today’s norms yet courageous for their time. One such bold creation emerged from Czechoslovakia in the mid-1930s: the Praga Super Piccolo “Vorvaň,”a car that stood out not because it was loud or extravagant, but because it quietly reshaped what a mid-range vehicle could be.

Praga, already known for building reliable everyday cars, unveiledthe Super Piccolo at the Prague Motor Show in 1934. It was intended to bridge a gap betweenthe compact Piccolo and the larger Alfa, targeting drivers who wanted something practical but not imposing. At first glance, the car followed a fairly standard sedan formula—front engine, rear-wheel drive, four doors—and yet it carried ambitions far beyond convention. The second series of the model introduced an aerodynamic body style that would earn it the nickname “Vorvaň,” a nod to its rounded, almost whale-like profile. Only a minority of the vehicles received this pontoon-shaped exterior, and an even smaller number were built with all four wheels fully enclosed. For the 1930s, that level of aerodynamic experimentation was nothing short of audacious.

Praga equipped the car with a liquid-cooled 1,661 cc inline-four engine using side-valve timing and a Zenith carburetor, producing a modest 35 horsepower at 3,200 rpm. It wasn’t built for speed records, but for its purpose—efficient, everyday mobility—it was well judged. The company reported fuel consumption figures between 11 and 13 liters per 100 kilometers, respectable for its era. Depending on the confiaaaaaaguration, the Super Piccolocould reach between 100 and 110 km/h. The chassis and suspension differed slightly across versions: some retained a traditional solid front axle with leaf springs, while others benefited from a newer setup with double wishbones and coil springs. Drum brakes completed the mechanical package, keeping the design grounded in the realities of 1930s engineering.

Size-wise, the car offered genuine practicality. With an overall length of 4.65 meters and a wheelbase of 2.7 meters, it provided enough cabin space for four or five occupants depending on the variant. The interior was not lavish, but it delivered what drivers of the time valued most—functionality and comfort. Visibility, seating position, and cabin layout reflected Praga’s reputation for sensible design rather than extravagance. The aerodynamic versions, however, altered the character of the car completely. Their smooth, flowing surface made the Super Piccolo look like a forward-thinking experiment lifted from an industrial design sketchbook. It wasn’t simply another sedan; it was a statement about where automotive styling might go.

The “Vorvaň” versions, produced only in tiny numbers, have since gained near-mythical status. Contemporary accounts suggest that fewer than ten survived into modern times, with one owner in the Czech Republic reporting seven known domestically and one abroad. Even more unusual are the fully aerodynamic limousines—possibly only two or three remain today in unrestored condition. One documented unit, carrying serial number 40 346, was delivered on June 18, 1935, to a customer named Josef Novák from the town of Louny. It resurfaced decades later in museum exhibitions under the care of Automuzeum Praga in Zbuzany, offering modern viewers a rare opportunity to stand before one of the brand’s most distinctive creations.

Althoughthe Super Piccolowas produced only from 1934 to 1936, with total output across all variants reaching 640 units, its historical value reaches far beyond production numbers. At a time when European automakers were still experimenting hesitantly with aerodynamics, Praga committed to a body shape that looked radical for an affordable mid-range car. It reflected a period in which designers were starting to recognize that form and airflow could reshape efficiency, stability, and even identity. The Super Piccolo “Vorvaň” was an early sign that everyday cars could adopt futuristic design philosophies without losing their practicality. | cnqbvgFG5NU |
Today, encountering one of these cars—whether in a museum or in the rare photographs that surface from exhibitions—feels a bit like time travel. The flowing contours, the covered wheels, the surprisingly restrained mechanics beneath the shell all tell the story of a manufacturer that wasn’t afraid to explore beyond the predictable. In a modern world overflowing with wind-tunnel-shaped vehicles, the “Vorvaň” stands as a quiet reminder that innovation often begins with small, bold steps, taken by those willing to imagine something different when no one asked them to. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | PRAGAGLOBAL | AUTA5P.EU | FORUMS.FORZA.NET | ROLLING ART IN FACEBOOK | WORLD CARS FROM THE 1930S TO 1980S IN FACEBOOK | THINGIES IN FACEBOOK | THOMAS T IN FLICKR | QUIRKYRIDES IN X ]

Technical Outlier - Endurance racing in the early 1960s functioned as a laboratory for ideas too radical for road cars. At Le Mans, efficiency, balance, and aerodynamics often mattered more than raw power, especially for small constructors. René Bonnet embraced this challenge in 1962 with an early mid-engined prototype, setting the conceptual foundation for a more extreme evolution that would emerge the following year as the Aérodjet LM.
The René Bonnet Aérodjet LM competed at the 1963 24 Hours of Le Mans under Bonnet’s own banner with Matra-built fiberglass bodywork, appearing in at least four entries—numbers 41, 51, 52, and 53—while its total production remains unknown. (Picture from: RMStyle-24lm)
The Aérodjet LM of 1963was not a direct carryover from the 1962 car, but it was shaped decisively by the lessons learned there. Experience on the long straights of Le Mans highlighted the limitations of drag and high-speed stability, prompting Bonnet to pursue a far more aerodynamic solution. The result was a long-tail body designed to slice through the air efficiently, with some units featuring enclosed rear wheels to further reduce drag.
The René Bonnet Aérodjet LM appeared in two configurations, LM5 and LM6, with LM6 distinguished by its more extreme long-tail body and occasional rear-wheel covers for greater high-speed stability. (Picture from: WorldCarFromThe1930sTo1980s in Facebook)
René Bonnet entered the 1963 24 Hours of Le Mans under his own banner, with support from Matra for the fiberglass bodywork. Racing documentation showsat least four Aérodjet LM entries, numbered 41, 51, 52, and 53, though the exact total number of cars ever built remains unknown. None were intended for production; they served as rolling testbeds for aerodynamic and mid-engined concepts that would later influence the Djetand shape Matra’s future sports cars.

Within the Aérodjet LM family, two main configurations are recognized: LM5 and LM6. LM5retained a more conventional aerodynamic profile, whileLM6featured the more extreme long-tail design and, in some cases, rear-wheel covers to enhance high-speed stability. Both variants shared a lightweight tubular chassis and Renault-based four-cylinder engines tuned by Gordini for endurance performance.

Visually, the cars were striking: elongated bodies with a low, aggressive stance, designed to maximize airflow efficiency. The LM6 in particular demonstrated Bonnet’s willingness to experiment beyond conventional racing norms, pushing aerodynamics to extremes while maintaining the mid-engined layout pioneered in 1962.

Mechanically, all Aérodjet LM carsused modest-displacement Renault engines optimized for endurance rather than outright speed. Gordini cylinder heads improved breathing and durability, allowing the cars to sustain competitive average speeds across 24 hours of racing. The engineering philosophy mirrored the aerodynamic one: precision, efficiency, and purpose-built experimentation. | eKcbKMgk8EI |
Today, the Aérodjet LMremains a rare and often overlooked milestone. Its multiple configurations, small numbers, and experimental design reflect a brief moment when innovation was driven by necessity, experimentation, and belief rather than scale or fame, and it continues to be recognized as a direct precursor to the production Djet and the future sports car programs that Matra would later develop. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | INVALUABLE | CLUBDJET | LAAUTOMOBILEANCIENNE | RMSTYLE-24LM | WORLD CAR FROM THE 1930S TO 1980S IN FACEBOOK ]

Purposeful Dissent - Automotive history often remembers the cars that succeeded, yet the ones that dared to be different frequently tell richer stories about their time. In the early 1960s, Italy’s design scene was alive with experimentation, where industrial designers moved fluidly between architecture, furniture, and automobiles. Within this creative climate, The Lancia Flaminia Amalfi emerged not as a mass-market ambition, but as a thoughtful design statement—one that reflected both the optimism and the uncertainty of a rapidly changing automotive world.
The Lancia Flaminia Amalfi was shaped by the vision of Rodolfo Bonetto, a Milan-based industrial designer whose influence reached far beyond automotive body design. (Picture from Carrozzieri-Italiani)
The mind behind the Flaminia Amalfi was Rodolfo Bonetto, a Milan-based industrial designer whose career extended far beyond car bodies. Bonetto had already built a formidable reputation designing everyday objects as well as automobiles, earning six Compasso d’Oro awards and teaching design at Ulm in Germany. His work for coachbuilders such as Vignale, Viotti, and especially Boneschi revealed a designer with a rare sense of proportion and technical clarity. By the time he turned his attention to the Lancia Flaminia platform, Bonetto was already shaping some of the most intriguing Italian designs of the era, including the Flaminia Spider and several distinctive grand tourers.
The Lancia Flaminia Amalfi made its public debut at the 1961 Turin Motor Show in Italy as a one-off design study by Rodolfo Bonetto in collaboration with Carrozzeria Boneschi. (Picture from Carstyling.ru)
The Flaminia Amalfi was developed through a collaboration with Carrozzeria Boneschi, a firm known for its precision craftsmanship and willingness to support unconventional ideas. In 1962, Boneschi created a convertible body on a Flaminia chassis originally intended for Touring, identified as chassis number 824.04. Beneath its sculptural skin sat Lancia’s 2.5-liter engine producing 119 horsepower, grounding the experimental bodywork in proven mechanical substance. This pairing of reliable engineering and avant-garde design made the Amalfi an intriguing hybrid of tradition and bold exploration.
The Lancia Flaminia Amalfi is believed to have featured an interior guided by rational design principles, favoring clarity of form over decorative excess despite limited surviving documentation. (Picture from Carrozzieri-Italiani)
Visually, the Lancia Flaminia Amalfi stood apart from its contemporaries. Bonetto employed what became known as the “Linea Tesa” approach—sharp, angular, and almost architectural in presence. The exterior appeared deliberate and monumental rather than flowing, challenging the softer curves that dominated Italian design at the time. While detailed records of the interior are scarce, it is widely understood that the cabin followed the same rational philosophy, prioritizing clarity and form over ornamentation. Every surface seemed intended to feel intentional, reinforcing Bonetto’s belief that good design should look “right” through balance rather than excess.

Reactions to the Amalfi were predictably divided. Admirers praised its courage and modernity, seeing it as a glimpse into a possible future of automotive design. Critics, however, felt it strayed too far from convention, making it difficult to imagine widespread acceptance. Ultimately, the Flaminia Amalfi remained a one-off creation. By the early 1960s, the automotive industry was shifting toward large-scale production, efficiency, and standardization—conditions that left little room for singular, handcrafted experiments, no matter how intellectually compelling they were.

Today, The Lancia Flaminia Amalfi occupies a quiet but meaningful place in design history. It may not have reshaped the market or inspired a production lineage, yet it captures the spirit of an era when designers were free to test boundaries without guarantees of success. Seen through a modern lens, the Amalfi feels less like a failed experiment and more like a reminder that progress often depends on ideas that challenge comfort zones. Its value lies not in numbers built, but in the courage it represents—a snapshot of creative freedom before the industry learned to play it safe. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | CARROZZIERI-ITALIANI | CARSTYLING.RU ]
