What a great nation of petrolheads and engineers Italy once was ... from Abarth to Zagato, from Alfa to Ducati to Morini to Laverda to Lamborghini to Lancia to Renzo Rivolta's Iso and Carlo Riva's boatyard (I could go on and on for a while) .... And what a bland bunch of badge engineering bodgers they became with the mixed "Stellantis" and evenly mixed "Piaggio" corporate crookeries these days. Italy never should have given up the Lira and taken on the bloody Euro instead.
I loved my little Fiat 850 Sport Coupe! It had little power but it was a blast to drive. A note on the beginning of this clip. The street scene shown is San Francisco, California where I live, not anywhere in Italy. This old film was made just days before the 1906 earthquake. The woman narrator at the beginning of the video is an terrible example of CGI graphics, or AI or whatever. Other than that the video is interesting and informative. Give us some more!
Admittedly yes, that was San Francisco at the begining of the clip before the Great Earthquake, as I couldn't find any footage of old Italy. The presenter is AI since it makes the job a tad easier to finish, though it is just a representation of the topic ahead. I try to make the topics a bit interesting without spending for voice actors or premium video footages, not to fool viewers, but to visualize the point of the topic. With all honesty, the story is what I really spend on time weaving as refined as possible, not like most AI created UA-cam videos that are as dull as a rusted butter knife. Thank you for the comment, much appreciated your input and will make the topics a notch more interesting. 😊
I had a 1988 Alfa 75 2.0 TS. Great car at a sensible price. Eventually mine needed an expensive rear break rebuild So I sold it as a doner car to a guy who was restoring a Lancia Stratos. They share a lot of parts.
That makes sense, since both car brands were a part of of the same company, Stilantis FCA thought it would be more economic tho "standardize" parts, allowing them to be "interchangeable". Since your ALFA Romeo was an italian import, finding parts for it and having the brakes rebuilt would be an expenssive endeavour.
I had a Fiat 850 Sport Coupe (the ferrari For the simple people) in the 1960s. Italy has always produced cars with great design. The only disadvantage was that until the 1980s they only really lasted in the Italian climate. In the North German climate they were usually so rusted after just 5 years that they were almost impossible to save.
Yes, I remember those small rear engine mounted models of Fiat, they were nimble as they could be, they were really wonderful at handling those coastal drives around Italy, especially on the coast of Amalfi. Yes, I do agree that The 850 Sports Coupe was at home in the Italian climate, unfortunately, they weren't as lucky when you import them to the upper Northern portions of Europe, particularly where there is more moisture and longer winters.
@@DreamTraveller1970 Yes, I actually had to give the 850 to someone after 5 years who could stop the rust and extend the life of the car by another 2 years of TÜV, but then it was really over, even though the engine and other technical parts were still in perfect condition. It was such a shame about the little Italian speedster. Well, in the 50s to 80s rust was a problem with all cars, but it was particularly bad with Italian cars. There was a nasty saying here in northern Germany that Italian cars rusted even in the catalog.
@@callsigndd9ls897 there used to be a time way back then when manufacturers used 22 gauge metal sheets, and that is all, not galvanized and they relied on the zinc content hoping that the metal would last. Today every car brand uses thinner sheet gauges but with the addition of hot dipped galvanization, that is why modern cars rust lesser than old ones, but imagined if the technology existed way back then, maybe we can still see those classic beauties still roaming roads and highways.
@@DreamTraveller1970 Yes, thanks to the better metal alloys and the cathodic dip painting of the sheet metal, cars hardly rust anymore. My first car with a galvanized floor panel and lower body was a Ford Taunus 17M (P5). You still see this model on the road now and then. Strangely enough, you never see the successor model (P7). With this model, the expensive galvanization was dispensed with and the alloy with a higher zinc content was thought to be sufficient. That was a fallacy. Most cars at that time rusted from the inside out.
you totally forgot to mention the Autobianchi A112 Abarth, my first car a lighter cheaper but thrilling little car compared to the recent 500. it was back in the early 80's. N.B. AI wasn't born back then I guess 😎.
Yes, about Autobianchi, though it was founded back in 1955, it was not a part nor did it come solely from Abarth because it was a cooperative effort between Bianchi, Pirelli and Fiat in 1955. Autobianchi produced only a handful of models during its lifetime, which were almost exclusively small cars, with the biggest being the short-lived Autobianchi A111, a small family car. Autobianchis were priced higher than Fiat models of similar size and the brand was used by Fiat to test innovative concepts which later found their way into mainstream Fiat vehicles; these concepts included fibreglass bodies and front-wheel drive. Consequently, among the famous Autobianchi models was the A112 released in 1969, a small hatchback very popular in Italy for racing, and which ceased production in 1986; as well as the Y10, which was the first car to use Fiat's new FIRE (Fully Integrated Robotised Engine). With the Primula model, Fiat was able to introduce and prove an innovative front-engine, front-drive layout, which enabled an especially large interior volume and ultimately became the predominant front engine/drive layout, worldwide. Autobianchi was subsequently purchased by the Fiat group and integrated into the operations of Lancia. The Autobianchi marque survived in Italy until 1995, when Y10 production ended.
Testament of what? Not sure what you mean? Testament is a vague word. It's like two words put together, like "testicles" and "lament" put together, resulting in the word "testament".
Thanks, while you're out there in the real world, please come back and tell us if its still burning or already in cinders. I heard mutants called "woke people" have already taken over.
Oh...I get it you were dissapointed by the chick weren't you? Well, sorry to dissapoint. It's the content we're trying to make good with, not chicks...
Nobody...which categorically makes between deep fake and not deepfake at the same time since deep fake emphasizes " Deepfakes are images generated that tries to mimic "real" person, places or things and since "Sophia" is nobody, even if you reverse search for Google images, it make her a "legal" internet entity.
Shame what became of Lancia and much of the Italian car industry. Badge engineering rather than innovation and proper engineering. Almost as bad as the AI voices,music? and mispronunciations.😡
There are far more worse AI content in UA-cam than this, believe you me...at least this one makes sense at a logical level...rather than channels than have no videos despite being on for 5 years...agree? hehehehehehehehehe....
the images and the commentary don't match, most of the time they speak about a model and they show a different one, if they show it at all (in example abarth 1000 and 595 are never shown). i was skeptical to start a 20 min video talking about 3 very rich brands, and i was right, it is very poor, terribly lacking. also, the horrible AI speaks with strong french accent, unbearable and borderline insulting.
The AI does not speak in a French accent if you think its insulting...ITS AN ITALIAN ACCENT... if you are French you should of all French speakers would have heard the roll of the tognue...does the name "Sophia Antonelli" sound French to you? ... Is Ettore Bugatti sound French to you? Bugatti had no choice but to stay French, even though he was Italian by name.
@DreamTraveller1970 this answer doesn't make any sense. most probably it has been wrote by an AI, or a bot. i'll get to the point anyway, even if i feel like talking to a toy. i'm italian and the accent of that fake girl is 100% not italian, she can't even say "arrivederci" properly, i have no idea where you assumed i was french. the name of that girl is not important, she is fiction, it could be anything even Enzina Ferrari for what matters. why did you bring up ettore bugatti? what does he matters here? are you answering to my message or to something else? are you drunk? can a AI be asked to answer as a drunk person?
@bicello As an existentialist, I humbly decline in going forward to any more debates with regard to your comments. Seeing your channel has one video since it was first made 11 years ago, I assume this is just a cheap shot to start some sort of rant. AI makes it more easier to make content I admit though the quality is appaling, but every one is doing it nowadays as it is the way to go. And why should it matter to you so much that the pronounciations get you off so much, that even details of flaws demand my attention? The world is not perfect, people arent perfect either, but to think that you can improve anything to the video by stating its flaws wont change my perspective on how you want some personal opinion of yours to affect the way I make videos, when you yourself cant make heads or tails from yours.
@@DreamTraveller1970 again, no sense whatsoever, definitely an AI. record this for future interactions, not every person on youtube is a content creator, there is people like me that made a youtube account only to log in, just to watch videos, during a time where it was not owned by google, a time when entities like you didn't exist. also, browsing the web to check life and activities of somebody in order to shame and look down on him is amoral, record this too. see? i'm making you a favor, thank me.
I'm pretty sure you were not looking for cars when you found this video because UA-cam placed this between: "Italian Beauties" and "Top 20 Italian P*rn Stars", so either way, glad you found this video, but this wasn't what you were really searching for, right? hehehe....

I agree that Italy should have kept their economic and technical standards instead of selling out to the E.U.

how many times can you use the word testament?

Is the shoddily animated AI narrator absolutely necessary here?
Absolutely, but she'll get better as time passes by, eventually replacing real humans that run UA-cam...
Nice use of AI - you can see how it will take over the YT business. I'm going out to check on the real world ;-)
