The once famous Italian company, the Castagna, has created a retro-look concept, the Imperial Landaulet, inspired by the great grand touring cars of the ’20s.
The Imperial Landaulet concept, recalls an Isotta Fraschini model of the same name, created by the original Milanese coachbuilder. Over the years, Castagna created a series of stunning one-off bodies for Isotta Fraschini, Lancia and other Italian luxury brands before falling on hard times.
Here’s a little bit of the Castagna’s history: In the mid-1990s, there was a brief attempt to revive the Castagna name on an ugly Alfa-Romeo based design, which disappeared quickly. Recently, following a second revival, the new Carrozzeria Castagna has created a smaller car, similar to the Mini woody that shown last year, before attempting to recreate one of the classics.
The Imperial Landaulet is a non-running concept, but an 800-hp V12 engine is mounted in a 100% functioning prototype to be unveiled at this year’s Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance.
The Castagna Imperial Landaulet is inspired by a custom-bodied Isotta Fraschini from the 1920s.

At the incoming Geneva Motor Show Mercedes-benz will show the new SL-Class.
There were only few changes in this car: a redesigned front section, new tailamp units and new light-alloy wheels, that give the SL-Class a more dynamic character.
A V8 engine that producing 388 hp and 530 Nm of torque enables the SL500 to accelerate from 0 to 62 mph in 5.4 seconds. The V12 Biturbo engine mounted on the SL600 also upgraded: the output and maximum torque have been increased to 517 hp and 830 Nm, and the 0-100 km/h acceleration has been reduced 4.5 seconds. In the powertrain area, the Active Body Control(ABC) was upgraded also and a new steering set-up with a more direct ratio was equipped. The brake systems of the SL 350 and SL 500 have been optimised for the increased horsepower.
