I think the only reason I remember the Modena is because of the weird, almost futuristic looking sidepods that seemed like they'd been mounted upside down.
Fun fact: the reason why those sidepods looked so funky was because they were the first team to place their radiators at an angle to improve the aerodynamics of the car. Other teams saw this and thought "hmm, that's not a bad idea" and copied it and to this day all F1 teams mount their radiators at an angle in the sidepods to improve their car's aerodynamics.
If you wanna know something else mad about the whole "Chrysler, Fiat-Chrysler-Ferrari, Stellantis" thing. Ferrari's chairman, John Elkann.....is also the chairman of Stellantis.
Chrysler/Stellantis created the first generation Viper which had some technical input from Lamborghini during this time, and the current last generation Viper had technical input from Ferrari, so it was worked on by both Italian masters...
The most forgotten iconic Italian sports car manufacturer in F1 has to be Lancia. Which is surprising given how successful they were - Juan Manuel Fangio won his 4th drivers title in 1956 driving a Lancia! Most histories just say Ferrari, as he was racing for Scuderia Ferrari. But the car was a Lancia D50 with a Lancia V8 engine. Unfortunately Lancia didn't receive the recognition they deserve, the constructors championship wasn't introduced until 1958 and their achievement overshadowed by the name Ferrari.
Lancia withdrew from the sport following the death of Alberto Ascari. Later they became hugely successiful in rally with the Stratos, the 037 and the Delta.
Chrysler and Lamborghini being on the same F1 engine at the same time my family was cruising around in a Chrysler Town & Country minivan is so funny to me
Now imagine James Hunt's reaction if Murray did trip over his own commentary, probably just a "you're right there Murray...", before Brundle made that line famous.
Great video 😅 but it would have been good to see more video or pics of the Lamborghini engines and or cars, have some good footage of this on a cheap DVD, especially showing close ups of the slant radiators, blown defuser and engines, cheers Author 💙
Suzuki's drive in Suzuka was brilliant, and a very rare occurrence of an all non-European podium. Aguri was actually fired by Yamaha for performance reasons for his atrocious 1989 (after breaking the Mugen stranglehold in Japanese F3000 by winning that championship for them in 1988). While he was very erratic I don't think he was the main problem. Solid qualifier.
When I saw the Modena with the angled side pods I thought of the Brabham BT-44 which also had the angled sides. It would race from 1974 - 1976. I miss those days when cars were unique.
I'm not a pheasant plucker, I'm a pheasant plucker's son, But I'll keep on plucking pheasants till the pheasant plucker comes. ....as Murray might have had some trouble with.
Technically they did catch on: they were the first team to place their radiators at an angle to improve the aerodynamics of the car. Other teams saw this and thought "hmm, that's not a bad idea" and copied it and to this day all F1 teams mount their radiators at an angle in the sidepods to improve their car's aerodynamics.
Ferrari had something for me to keep an eye when they still frequented naturally aspirated V8s. Now though? Not much is gonna fill the void for me when the world stops seeing V10 engines.
I remember Stefano Modena was the worst driver in Nigel Mansell’s 92 world championship. And then you hear there was a team called Modena and you think the team was named after Stefano when you’re a young child!
3:16 Your mispronounciation of Iococca hurts my soul. My dude, he was a character IN Ford vs. Ferrari, and in real life, the father of the Ford Mustang and savior of Chrysler. Man was a legend. Aye-ah-coke-ah
To make the Chrysler/Stellantis thing even more funny, Stellantis owns both Maserati and Alfa. Also Lancia... Pretty much anything fast and Italian has been owned by them at some point.
I often think Lambos are too wide, especially for UK roads. And I think you can say Team Lotus/Caterham, Virgin/Manor Marussia, & HRT were similar to those under-funded teams from the early 90s.
Now tha Lamborghini is part of the Volkswagen Audi Group, and could in theory being some serious financial firepower to a renewed F1 entry, this could make life interesting. Isn't Audi thinking of taking over the Sauber F1 team? Audi also runs things over at Lamborghini's road going car operations, so ... possibilities arise. A rebadged Sauber as Audi F1 team with a new Lambo engine developed in secret could [1] happen in real life, and [2] generate interesting headlines, keeping this channel supplied with some juicy material in the process. Even better if the resulting outfit brings to the design table the same Battlestar Galactica fantasy spaceship look that Lambo brings to its road cars. Delta wings over the sidepods? Thunderbird 2 style forward swept wings at the front? Heh, if the F1 rule book hadn't thrown a hissy fit over 6 wheel cars, a 6 wheel Lambo F1 car would fit with the company's road car craziness. :)
2:30 ahhhhh that Clarksonism brought back the nostalgia of series 18 episode 1 of TopGear. Why an Aventador? Why not. It's a big daft orange dog and blue stuffs came out of the back. Pity that the new Revuelto felt staid and sterile compared with Aventador and Murcielago (my absolute favourite). Also, Lee Iacocca was also instrumental in convincing Henry Ford II to go to Le Mans and beat Ferrari's arse after getting battered during the failed takeover.
Everything I’ve heard about this subject over the years is that the engine was really starting to become competitive, and most of all reliable, when the plug was pulled. I believe they suffered from oil distribution problems but it’s been said that a little bit of developmental cash could have sorted it out. A lot like GM bringing out a car that’s a dog, working the kinks out over a few years, then binning it once it becomes good 🤷♂️.
@@robertstone9988 it’s cos they’ve gone all electric and need a logo to fit. It’s not Peugeot levels of bad redesign but it still looks like something for a cosmetics emporium.

Johanssen and Barbazza could not qualify it for whatever reason. Might be worth going through the Wiki stat sheets(tm) and seeing how far off they were.
Sounds like one of Iacocca's harebrained ideas alright... Lamborghini needs F1 even less than Porsche (albeit for somewhat different reasons). Some brands are head and shoulders above this "nonsense". 😉

I'd be happy if we got 24 cars on the grid again like 2010-2012.
Seems like Subaru with their Flat 12 F1 engine also went through the Italian ringer with Coloni and Minardi.
That Modena looks a lot like the zero-pod concept Mercedes butchered a couple of years ago, at first glance.
The podium achieved by Aguri Suzuki
is something that can talk about
