pic of wild Swiss 928 on Italian autostrada

Just got back from Italy, which I drove from south to north, every mile of which I wished to be in the 928!
Anyway, here's a quick in-motion pic of an S model shark with a pretty wild paint job. Sorry for the sole snapshot, but I was struggling to get close enough to it in the tiny 1.2L Lancia diesel I was driving! |
Coool pic.
Nicely done paint job. Wonder what the colors signify. Like how they echoed the B-pillar swoop. Guess you're flogging that 1.2 liter diesel. 3500 redline? Drove a 1.1 liter Fiat ages ago in Europe. Engine displacement the size of a soda pop bottle. What a hoot. Ernest (NYC) |

3500 redline? Ernest (NYC) Yeah, that sucker took a beating, alright! I knocked out about 2400K in two weeks, and was always flat out (just about!). I was surprised that peak torque seemed to be around 3500rpm as you say, but that it would rev up to about 4500rpm pretty easily. Here's another pic of the pursuit; though blurry, it does show the speedo in the Lancia at 150... okay, kph! I could squeeze her on the flats for 160kph, but that's it!! |
Hmmm... I don't like this at all... I neither like the colors chosen, nor the way the stripes flow, as they do not really follow the B pillar very closely. I think this is a clear example of more is not always better.

LHD in Itay?

I'm guessing center console.

Stripes don't bother me a whole lot...guess when you're in Rome (as you were)... However, is that side skirt normal? Can't tell if this is an S or S4, but it looks "added on" to me. Could the stripes be part of a racing color, perhaps? |
Is that Starski or Hutchski?
The german Torino! thats the first thing i thought of when i saw it. Looks in great shape though :thumbup: A unique find, thats for sure! Whats the scrolling/lettering on the corner of the red stripe? |

Definitely an S, not S4. Check out the painted front spoiler.
