La Dolce Veloce

Well, yes, but it’s not quite what you think. I just received word that the Lamborghini Concept S show car will be appearing at the Concorso Italiano show August 19th. The featured marque will be Alfa Romeo; it’s tough to know exactly which Alfas will be there, as that company has little presence in this country. However, with Alfa intending to return to the US sometime this decade, it’s a safe bet that Alfa will bring some beauties to this world-reknown show. Their Brera concept car was at last year’s show, so I’d count on that appearing at this one as well. In the Corral section will be the usual assortment of non-Italian automobiles, including a Lotus Elise with full carbon fiber body, a Vector, Vipers, Porsches, BMWs, Jaguars, Bentleys, NSXs, Mercedes, and the always-plentiful gaggle of Miatas. That’ll keep you busy if you get bored looking over the main show of Italian cars (Abarth, Alfa Romeo, DeTomaso, Ferrari, Fiat, Iso, Lamborghini, Lancia, Maserati, even some Italian motorcycles by Ducati and others). This is a can’t-miss show, I look forward to it every year (can ya tell?).
