Brivio. Italy. Four Cylinders. Eight Valves. 72 Horsepower. 3 Speed column shift manual. These are the ingredients used to make the latest Brivio Roma.
“Good day to you all, my name is David Bloxham of the Brivio UK marketing department and I am here to introduce this brand new family saloon car. I am standing in front of the ‘Roma Aniene 2000’, this model has a 1998cc Single Overhead Cam 8 Valve Four Cylinder engine from the ‘CAM Serie’, the Roma is capable of reaching 92 miles per hour and produces a rather spiffing 72 break horse power.”
“Strip away at the beautifully styled saloon car and you will find the automobile utilises a macpherson strut and semi trailing arm suspension setup, you will also find that the motor has front single piston disc brakes, this is a whole new idea for Brivio but we hope to utilise the all round disc brake concept we are using in the all new Imola which will be shown pretty soon.”
“Inside the cabin you will find 5 comfortable vinyl leather seats, you will also find a central arm rest that folds down between the driver and front passenger seat for maximum comfort, the automobile also comes with real wood trim located on the inside of the doors and along the face of the dashboard, you will find a generously sized glove compartment on the passenger side which can easily hold your driving gloves and A to Z map of Great Britain.”
“The audio system is a rather basic two speaker setup with a radio unit made by Becker in Germany, the sound quality is miles ahead of similar cars thus meaning you can enjoy listening to Cliff Richard on those long family road trips to the beach.”
“The 1960 Roma also provides a central locking feature, this means when you lock the drivers door, the other doors also lock.”
“The all new 1960 Roma is not a fast car, but it also isn’t a slow car, the Roma will carry you up to 62 miles per hour in almost 16 second and will continue on to 92 miles per hour. the car itself only weighs in at 922 kilograms, this low weight allows the car to achieve almost 30 miles to the gallon, obviously a higher MPG could be achieved but we did not want to make a painfully slow car.”
“The most important part of buying a new car is weather it is good value for money, well, we are glad to say the new Roma is only £7,200.00, this automobile should appeal to all of those middle class families who cannot wait to get hold of something Italian.”
“Feel free to stroll around the car and have a seat inside and get a feel for that Italian quality.”

Just the stock light fixtures 
Edit: Fine I’ll tell… You know the stock round ones which you can also find in the indicators tab. I just stretched it and made them overlap 
Okay

When I looked at your company’s name on this thread I couldn’t help but notice the irony, since Adagio is a musical term for a slow tempo, whereas the Leggiero, with its potent all-alloy V12, is anything but (for its time, anyway).

Not for long! I’m trying to practice my design skills in pre-2010 because that’s pretty much everything I can’t do so well. What I’ll do is make cars which are just designs and not much more. All this is for prep when I relaunch Cavallera. I can’t guarantee that it’ll be any good or if it’s going to resemble what’ll come out later

Ahh, but you see, while adagio means slow tempo, Leggiero is another musical term which means light and graceful, things that the Adagio Leggiero are (Light and graceful that is)
EDIT: Besides, Adagio is more of a luxury car manufacturer so speed isnt their main selling point

#Summary 1
Greetings folks! It’s your dashing correspondant for all things automobiles, Gordon Anderson! Splendind Auto Monthly have given me the great pleasure of covering this year’s Earls Court Auto Show, the ever glamorous London-based motor vehicle convention set in the heart of the city’s glorious district of Kensington.
Already, the great display halls of this world-renowned exhibition centre have been showcasing the finest examples of modern automobile design, really showing off the ‘cutting edge’ work of the industry.
Let us see what’s been going down during these opening days!
Today’s music of choice is the bluesy Boom Boom by John Lee Hooker!
WMD debuted their sleek mid-range sports coupe the CB6 today, revealing both a coupe and cabriolet variant. The styling is concice and focused, and features a very advanced light-fixture that the company has called “pop-up headlights”. They’re ever so fancy, popping out of the front of the car whenever you turn the lights on. We’re not sure whether it’ll catch on though, seems a little gimmicky to us.
On the streets of London, The CB6 is refined and calm. Not particularly sharp or electrifying, but there’s something quite reassuring about that. The 2.6l i6 is joyous, and better still, it’s a double cam unit, making it silky smooth and delivering good amounts of power with ease. Certainly one to consider if you’re looking for a tamer sports car with uncomplicated looks and sweet style.
Petoskey’s display features a myriad of intriguing vehicles. Once again, they’re showing off their futuristing Rapier sedan, which still looks just as groundbreaking as it did last year upon its release. A brand new mid-size sedan called the Cortino was also introduced, with a range of variants to suit needs. Its plain styling should not put you off; the car is very good when it comes to running costs, practicality and efficiency. However, something tells us that another American brand might have some problems with its name in a few years time.
An incredible American import was also on show in the form of the incredible Ventor Sovereign. They describe it as their “luxury flagship”, and it isn’t far off from actually being classed as a ship. Of particular note is its phonograph sound system, a technology that is only just starting to see application in the home, let alone automobiles. Sat beside it was there Stag off-roader, which should certainly look good along Britain’s very own Land Rover, whilst a new concept version of the replacement for the Meteor sports car was also revealed, featuring a strange object called a “wing” on the boot.
Plucky car maker Cornaldie revealled a strange looking van called the Bonwagon yesterday, which features an incredible futuristic looking grill that we’re sure could be quite contemporary in the coming decades. Powered by a tiny inline 6, this cutesy van is far from what you would call “something with finesse”, but it is fun to drive, and appears to have been made to excellent standards, meaning it should be both practical and reliable to run.
Italian luxury car maker showed us the Adagio Leggiero today, a V12 powered GT cruiser that looks beautiful. Gently curved, detailed with tasteful chrome and sporting the gorgeous rumble of a 3.2 V12, the Leggiero is gorgeous, to say the least. That said, we can’t help feel that it could be more powerful but perhaps we’re being picky.
We’re still undecided as to whether the Ragno variant or the Berlientta variant is better looking; both would fit in perfectly parked on a Mayfair side street or on the French Riviera.
The latest version of Brivio’s family car, the Roma, was revealled yesterday, and looks to be one of the most smartly designed cars in its sector. Italian styling meets modern advances like the disc brakes and central locking system. The inside is spacious and practical, meaning the Roma is both classy and usable as well, a perfect combination.
Astranti, yet another Italian maker, unveiled the beautiful 3400GT…wait, 3500GT? We’re not sure, but it’s one of those two. This 232 hp sports coupe is incredibly fast, capable of a claimed 148 mph. Few other details have been given, but we can tell you that this SS trim is certainly the most exciting car we’ve driven so far at this year’s show. The styling is pure Italy, the power is borderline race car and the price is the opposite of both of these; at $12800, we believe this to be some serious value for money!
That rounds up today’s Summary. I’m off to a special journalists event being hosted on Park Lane at The Dorchester. True jet-set stuff! Bye for now!

Monolith is a name that most people have not yet heard of but it is one to keep an eye on in the near future. The brand has only existed for five years but like their parent company IMP they have quickly established themselves on the continent as a manufacturer of high-quality automobiles with highly sophisticated engineering. Their latest offering is an intriguing new concept that combines a four-wheel drive chassis similar to that of a Land Rover with a refined and powerful six cylinder engine and an elegant estate car body. The chassis features coil springs for unprecedented ride quality in a four-wheel drive automobile. The cross-flow 3.8L engine comes in two configurations, with overhead valves and 130bhp or OHC with 175bhp. Both engines have a four-speed full syncromesh transmission. The M110 3.8 Litre Standard will cost £2326 when it arrives in britain later this year. The 3.8 Litre Super features a luxuriously appointed interior and power steering not unlike a Rover 3 Litre and costs £2884. The vehicle appears promising, although we are not yet convinced that there is a market for a luxurious four-wheel drive estate car.
