"With little in the range of much performance intent, out of nowhere Alfa Romeo showed something called the ES30 design study at the 1987 Geneva motor show. The Alfa Romeo SZ was born. Those of a younger disposition might know Alfa Romeo products to be attractive, but underwhelming to drive. Well, the SZ was the other way around. Affectionately nicknamed 'Il Mostro', Alfa Romeo's Frankenstein shocked for many reasons, not least its brutalist styling." – evo magazine.
Reviving its tradition of building special-bodied Alfa Romeos, including the original SZ (Sprint Zagato) competition coupé of the late 1950s and early 1960s, Carrozzeria Zagato unveiled the outrageous new SZ at the Geneva Salon in March 1989. Under development for the preceding 19 months, the SZ was a joint project that also involved the styling departments of both Alfa Romeo and its parent company, FIAT, whose Robert Opron, formerly with Citroën, was responsible for the initial sketches. There are examples of other Opron-inspired masterpieces – the Citroën SM and Citroën CX – in this very sale. Opron's colleague Antonio Castellana was largely responsible for the final styling details and interior. The SZ lacked Zagato's characteristic 'double bubble' roof, while it has been suggested that its controversial styling resulted from early experiments with CAD/CAM (computer-aided) design. The SZ was built at Zagato's factory at Terrazano di Rho.
Originally typed 'ES 30' (Experimental Sports 3.0-litre) but known popularly as 'Il Mostro' (The Monster) the aggressive-looking two-seater coupé eschewed the rounded styling and aluminium-alloy coachwork hitherto associated with Zagato's high-performance Alfas in favour of an angular bodyshell crafted in lightweight moulded plastic - alloy roof excepted - which was bonded to the floor pan of the existing Alfa 75. Nowadays, smaller multiple light sources are relatively commonplace, which makes the controversial SZ, with its two clusters of three small headlights, recessed into the wide front grille, a design was ahead of its time.
Lessons learned from the latter's IMSA racing programme influenced the SZ's suspension, which endowed the car with superlative handling and roadholding, some drivers recording lateral cornering forces of up to 1.4G during testing. Suspension development was overseen by engineer Giorgio Pianta, formerly team manager of the FIAT and Lancia works rallying teams. There were Koni adjustable hydraulic dampers all round and power assisted steering, but no ABS.
Powering the SZ to its highly respectable 245km/h top speed was a 210bhp version of Alfa's superb 3.0-litre four-cam V6. Designed by Giuseppe Busso, Alfa's V6 is widely recognised as one of the finest power plants of recent times, and it is certainly one of the most glorious sounding sixes ever.
The SZ's excellent performance was achieved thanks partly to the body's exceptionally low drag coefficient of 0.30 Cd, the product of many hours spent in FIAT's wind tunnel. The engine was mounted longitudinally and drove the rear wheels via five-speed manual transaxle transmission.
Demand for the 1,000-or-so SZs scheduled for series production greatly exceeded supply. There was also an even rarer open spyder version: the RZ. By the time production ceased, Zagato had built only 1,036 SZ coupés, and today this rare and highly individual supercar is much sought after
The limited edition Alfa Romeo SZ was only manufactured in left-hand drive form, and this pristine example was delivered new in its native Italy and first registered in 1994. It has covered fewer than 1,300 kilometres from new. As such, it is presented in wonderful condition both inside and out. Importantly, it is accompanied by a set of original owner's manuals, car cover and Italian registration papers. A wonderful opportunity to acquire one of these ultra-rare Zagato-built Alfa Romeos that can only become increasingly collectible.

The Ducati Monster (called Il Mostro in Italian) is a motorcycle designed by Miguel Angel Galluzzi and produced by Ducati in Bologna, Italy since 1993. It is a naked bike, characterized by an exposed engine and frame. The deliberate use of the trellis frame in the Ducati Monster is an integral part of the motorcycle's design allowing for both aesthetic appeal and for structural efficiency.
In November 2010, Ducati announced the Monster 1100 Evo, replacing the Monster 1100 and 1100s. The exhaust was moved to the side as opposed to underneath the seat, and the dry clutch changed for a wet clutch. Also, there was a change in the paint schemes. Another major change is the inclusion of Ducati Safety Package (DSP) which is standard with the motorcycle. This DSP consists of ABS and Ducati Traction Control.

The Monster (informally called Il Mostro in Italian) is a motorcycle designed by Miguel Angel Galluzzi and produced by Ducati Motor Holding in Bologna, Italy since 1993. It is a naked bike, characterized by an exposed engine and frame. The deliberate use of the trellis frame in the Ducati monster as an integral part of the motorcycle's design allowing for both aesthetic appeal and for structural efficiency. In 2005, Monster sales accounted for over half of Ducati's worldwide sales. Ducati motorcycles use almost exclusively 90° V-Twin engines, which they call L-twins, with desmodromic valves, and tubular steel trellis frame, features designed by Fabio Taglioni (1920–2001).
The Monster line has had numerous variations over the years, from entry level 400 cc (24 cu in) bikes up to top of the line 130 hp (97 kW) multivalve, water-cooled superbike-engined versions, with as many as nine different Monster versions in a single model year. The Monster's elemental simplicity has also made it a favorite platform for custom motorcycle builders, showcased at competitions like the Monster Challenge. Monsters eventually accounted for two-thirds or more of Ducati's output.
"...and of course Casey found the energy to get naked again!!! On the bow, waves crashing over him with a Cape Horn sign (picture to follow). Dear lord. Welcome to my world. Never a dull moment around here."
-Ken Read on rounding Cape Horn
"Casey made good on his promise to get nude at the Horn! It was absolutely hilarious watching him come out of the hatch in his birthday suit, accompanied by Sid in tights, before together running to the bow and hanging onto the headstay for a photo-op where they got drenched by a freezing Southern Ocean wave before running back and driving the boat for a minute. "
- Rick Deppe on rounding Cape Horn
"By the way, our team (family) celebration went off without a hitch. You will all see Ricky's photos and movies later. But a quick sneak preview...more Cuban cigars made their way on deck, a dash of
"sailmakers oil" (rum), a spot of english whisky, and of course Casey found the energy to get naked again!!! On the bow, waves crashing over him with a Cape Horn sign (picture to follow). Dear lord. Welcome to my world. Never a dull moment around here."

Ecco spuntare da un mondo lontano l'ultimo mostro peloso e gigante
l'unico esempio rimasto di mostro a sei zampe
Quanto mi piace vederlo passare, cosa farei per poterlo toccare
io cosa farei...
Dicono che sia capace di uccidere un uomo
non per difendersi, solo perché non è buono
Dicono loro che sono scienziati affermati
classe di uomini scelti e di gente sicura
Ma l'unica cosa evidente è che il mostro ha paura
il mostro ha paura...
E' alla ricerca di un posto lontano dal male
certo una grotta in un bosco sarebbe ideale
ma l'unico posto tranquillo è quel vecchio cortile
l'unico spazio che c'è per un grande animale
Dicono "Siamo in diretta..." lo scoop è servito
"...questa è la tana del mostro, l'abbiamo seguito"
Dicono loro che sono cronisti d'assalto
classe di uomini scelti di gente sicura
Ma l'unica cosa evidente
l'unica cosa evidente è che il mostro ha paura
il mostro ha paura...
Basta passare la voce che il mostro è cattivo
poi aspettare un minuto e un esercito arriva
bombe e fucili ci siamo, l'attacco è totale
gruppi speciali circondano il vecchio cortile
Dicono che sono pronti a sparare sul mostro
"Lo prenderemo sia vivo che morto sul posto !"
Dicono loro che sono soldati d'azione
classe di uomini scelti e di gente sicura
ma l'unica cosa evidente è che il mostro ha paura
il mostro ha paura...
Vorrebbe farsi un letargo e prova a chiudere gli occhi
ma lui sa che il letargo viene solo d'inverno
riapre gli occhi sul mondo, questo mondo di mostri
che hanno solo due zampe ma sono molto più mostri
Gli resta solo una cosa
chiamare il suo mondo lontano
lo fa con tutto il suo fiato, ma sempre più piano...
Vorrei poterlo salvare, portarlo via con un treno
lasciarlo dopo la pioggia, là sotto l'arcobaleno...
