After ten years of victories on the racing track and off
the road, after selling a million pieces, the OZ family
masterpiece is rightfully celebrated by careful restyling
according to the new fashion dictates of the racing world,
a perfect synthesis of design and technology respecting its
glorious position as founder of a family. The new wheel, baptised
Superturismo GT, immediately proved to be more aggressive
and refined in style and in detail, undoubtedly re-affirming
its provenance from the racing world and its talent for exceptional
performance. This new monobloc stands out from the rest with
its deep softened central attachment, from which the 16 tapering
spokes extend. The spoke ends extend as far as the wheel edge
creating a beautiful optical effect that makes the wheel look
larger. It comes in the prestigious Race Silver finish, developed
in collaboration with BASF and applied in three successive
coats to guarantee impregnability and resistance of the surface.
The carbon fibre hub cover further emphasises its vocation
as a sports wheel, with the OZ logo reproduced at
the centre using Tuner Silver tampography and on the border
in relief.
Developed to carry on the sports tradition of the famous
founder of the family, Superturismo GT gives a gutsy look
to highly responsive compacts such as the Peugeot 206, Golf
IV, Ford Focus, Citroën Saxo and C2, Fiat Stilo and Alfa
147, and gives the right degree of aggressiveness to important
saloon cars, such as the Audi A4, Passat and BMW Series 3.
Its aristocratic sister, a veteran of the most important car
racing championships, fits out the Bentley and Audi in the
Le Mans 24 Hours, the Alfa Romeo in the European Touring Car
Championships and Mercedes-Benz in the German Touring Car
Championships, international competitions which in 2003 have
added another three victories to the already lavish collection
of OZ medals.
Submitted to strict quality controls throughout the manufacturing
cycle and rigorous final tests, Superturismo GT meets the
rigorous requirements imposed by the German TÜV and Japanese
JWL VIA approval boards.
