Mai toata lumea ar crede ca sursa de inspiratie pentru seria 916 a fost conceptul Proteo. Nimic mai fals!

Povestea incepe in 1980, cand, cu prilejul aniversarii a 75 de ani pentru revista Automobil Revue, Sergio Pininfarina se decide sa-i faca un cadou cu totul si cu totul special: un concept car sub forma unui coupe ce avea sa fie complet functional. Totul coincide cu lansarea noului Audi Quattro Coupe la salonul international de la Geneva din acelasi an, masina care ii atrage atentia constructorului italian ca putand fi o baza potentiala pentru viitorul sau automobil. Cei de la Audi raspund pozitiv si in scurt timp doneaza celor de la Pininfarina o astfel de masina.
Sub conducerea lui Leonardo Fioravanti, directorului de cercetare/dezvoltare al Pininfarina S.p.a, Enrico Fumia construieste o caroserie complet noua pe platforma celor de la Audi, cu 30cm mai scurta, 8cm mai joasa, 90kg mai usoara si cu un coeficient aerodinamic de 0.45. Ia astfel nastere Audi Quartz. Testat de catre cei de la Automobil Revue in 1986, prototipul produce o viteza de top de 217kmh, o acceleratie 0-100kmh in doar 7.1s si 0-180kmh in 18.7s.
La sfarsitul proiectului, Audi decide sa cumpere prototipul si il prezinta in 1981 la Salonul Auto de la Geneva.

Cativa ani mai tarziu, in 1986, Pininfarina primeste sarcina de a desena conceptul unui nou coupe, urmasul lui GTV6. Acelasi Enrico Fumia vine cu primele schite care sunt repede acceptate de catre managementul Alfa Romeo. Primele modelari iau nastere in primavara lui 1988, urmand ca la sfarsitul lui 1989 modelul final la scara 1:1 sa fie predat catre Centro Stile, unde Walter de'Silva avea sarcina de a sa se ocupe de partea de detalii.
In 1991 Alfa Romeo prezinta la salonul auto de la Geneva conceptul Proteo, considerat de mai toata lumea sursa de inspiratie pentru seria 916. In realitate, conceptul realizat de Walter de'Silva si Alberto Bertelli preia o serie de elemente stilistice destinate viitoarei serii 916 pentru a testa reactia publicului.
Ce mi se pare curios este ca, desi seria 916 a fost construita pe platforma lui 155, Proteo a fost realizat pe platforma lui 164.

Asemanarile dintre Quartz, Proteo si mai tarziu GTV/Spider sunt evidente: capota fata "dintr-o bucata", farurile rotunde ascunse sub capota, design-ul partii inferioare a spoilerului fata, linia laterala "taiata" inca de la inceputul spoilerului fata, stopurile sub forma unei benzi lungi de-a lungul intregii parti spate, ba chiar si culoarea distincta a partii inferioare a masinii - spoiler fata&praguri (Quartz vs. GTV/Spider Ph1).

Interesant este ca solutiile tehnice gandite initial pentru GTV si-au avut inspiratia tot in conceptul Quartz, sau, mai precis, in Audi Quattro, astfel incat GTVul a fost initial imaginat cu posibilitatea unui sistem de tractiune integrala..

La final, in martie 1995, tot la salonul auto de la Geneva, sunt prezentate noile GTV si Spider, pe care le indragim si astazi!

Pe aceeasi tema: http://www.bozhdynsky.com/alfa-romeo-gt ... r-history/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Si un scurt interviu cu Enrico Fumia:
Yaroslav Bozhdynsky Quote:
“Well, about Spider/Gtv interior, it was designed by Centro Stile Alfa Romeo under Mr.De Silva direction. [...] On the contrary, the Pininfarina’s proposal was absolutely innovative …if it had been developed.”
- Enrico Fumia, interview, 2012

“I did my original renderings on Sept.’87. The final model was approved by Mr.Ghidella (CEO Fiat) on July ’88. Since that time, Centro Stile Alfa Romeo (leaded by Mr.De Silva) got the model for designing the interior. So, the show car Proteo (at Geneve ’91) was influenced by my design and not viceversa as everybody think [...] Anyway, the Spider-Gtv design is my 100% own idea. [...] Fiat commissioned proposals for Spider/Gtv. Also to Bertone. At that time Fiat CEO was Mr. [Vittorio] Ghidella. ”
- Enrico Fumia, interview, 2012

“[...] the 164 is my own design. On the contrary, its design comes from a previous project called 154. I designed 154 in 1981, one year before 164 and it arrived at the 1:1 model stage. It liked so much to AR management (not yet Fiat!) that in 1982 it was asked to shift its shape onto the 164, based on Tipo4 chassis (common to Fuiat Croma, Lancia Thema amd SAAB 9000, all designed by Mr.Giugiaro). I really like Testarossa (designed by Mr.[Diego] Ottina). Honestly I don’t see any connection between it and 164.”
- Enrico Fumia, interview, 2012

“My most favourite car-design is (and I think it’ll be forever) the Citroen DS. It represents the only sample of what Innovation must be. Its shape (in and out) is a sort of visible advertising of the real innovation was inside and outside the body. Scaglione’s SS and 33 are a nice cars, of course. But nothing compared with DS. I think that every True Designer should like to have imagined DS.”
- Enrico Fumia, interview, 2012

“My deep regret is F90 is still a mysterious car. So, I’ll do my best in the future to fully unveil that – let me say – wonderful car. I hope F90 will finally appear soon in one of the Concours d’Elegance in the world. But …it depends on the Sultan of Brunei! In the book I am preparing all my cars will be explained. So …wait for it!”
- Enrico Fumia, interview, 2012
Si un alt "rumor" interesant:
"there is also a roumor (have to confirm it) that Alfa 156 was not styled by De Silva but by Giugiaro"
