  .it that deepens the topics discussed on the
• 0:59
  portal. I am with the journalist Enzo Mauri who
• 1:02
  introduces the current topic. Good morning, today
• 1:04
  I tell you about a car from the 60s. In 1965,
• 1:09
  in the middle of an economic boom, the Opel Diplomat
• 1:14
  Coupé, the model from which the Bitter CD came
• 1:17
  down years later, was launched on the German
• 1:17
  automotive market, destined to have even more
• 1:18
  success. The Opel Diplomat Coupé, made for a
• 1:22
  high -level, was produced between 1965 and 1967
• 1:26
  in just 304 models plus the cabriolet version
• 1:30
  at the price of 25 ,500 marks. The future Bittercd
• 1:34
  had a 5 .4 -liter engine, 5 ,354 cubic centimeters,
• 1:39
  the larger version of the berline. With a speed
• 1:42
  of 206 kilometers per hour in the mid -sixties,
• 1:45
  it was the fastest German car. The car was also
• 1:47
  equipped with a two -speed automatic power -glide
• 1:51
  innovative for the European market, despite the
• 1:54
  exquisite number of reports. Yet, despite the
• 1:56
  ambitious proposals, the Opel Diplomat Coupé
• 1:58
  turned out to be a half -flop. Waiting for the
• 2:01
  next Bitter in 1969, at the Frankfurt Motor Show,
• 2:05
  the Opel exposed the CD prototype, or Diplomat
• 2:08
  Coupé, designed by Charles M. Jordan. The car,
• 2:11
  in fact, shared the engine of the model that
• 2:13
  came out in 1965. In 1970, Italian entrepreneur
• 2:17
  and designer Pietro Frua presented a customized
• 2:20
  model of the CD. The touch of Italianity acquired
• 2:23
  by the model did not go unnoticed. The former
• 2:26
  rally driver Eric Bitter, owner since 1971 of
• 2:30
  the homonymous automotive company, acquired the
• 2:32
  rights. With its slanted line, 1 .1 meters high
• 2:35
  and a maximum speed of 210 km per hour, the Bitter
• 2:39
  CD became reality. Between 1973 and 1979, the
• 2:44
  end of production year, La carrozzeria 20 di
• 2:47
  Stoccarda sfornò 395 Bitter CD vendute attraverso
• 2:51
  la rete Opel al prezzo di 52 .000 marchi. Nonostante
• 2:54
  il prezzo più che doppio la crisi petrolifera
• 2:57
  e i vari sommovimenti politici del periodo, la
• 2:59
  fuori serie Bitter CD ebbe maggiore successo
• 3:02
  della sorella di casa Opel. Apprezzata dai collezionisti
• 3:05
  di auto d 'epoca, al giorno d 'oggi un modello
• 3:07
  in buone condizioni sfiora il valore di 100 .000
• 3:10
  euro. Grazie a Denzo Mauri per il tema odierno.
