Linkage #022 — Displacement

The 22nd edition of Linkage is now complete and off to press. It will be mailing out to subscribers soon in both print and digital formats. In the meantime, here’s a sneak peek of some of what you’ll find inside:

Donald Osborne finds the true meaning of momentum in one of the world’s smallest vintage racing cars — and then looks at some of Italy’s best small-displacement giant killers.

Jay Leno dives into some of the largest — and smallest — engines in his garage, from tank-powered beasts to chain-driven Hondas.

Jim Pickering explores how new tradition displaces old via an EV-swapped Cord 810 at the SEMA show — and how that displacement looks when you see it.

Colin Comer talks about his blue-chip V12 Ferraris that have come and gone, and why a little Blue Sera Dino — the counterculture Ferrari that changed everything — has remained.

Flames light the night sky in Howard Koby’s coverage of the Nitro Revival at Irwindale, where blown Hemi diggers shake the ground in an homage to the greatest days of drag racing.

Who needs cubic inches? Rich Taylor takes us along at 160 mph in a 50-hp, 16,000-rpm FKE go-cart — A shrieking speed experience that fits like a too-small jacket.

Sara Ryan takes us to Luftgekühlt 10 — a Porsche event that’s disrupting long-held traditions and setting some new ones of its own.

And in our market section, we look at how displacement is the heart of the classic car auction scene, and we dive into RM Sotheby’s sale of the long-hidden and much anticipated Rudi Klein Collection, a special 300F Chrysler sold by Broad Arrow Auctions at its inaugural Chattanooga event, and Bonhams’ top finish with modern supercars at the Zoute Sale in October.

Linkage #022 has all this and a lot more, and subscribers will see it in both print and digital formats soon.
