'''Aurelio Lampredi''' was an [[automobile]] and [[aircraft]] [[engine]] designer. He began his career at [[Piaggio]], makers of the [[Vespa]] scooter, but quickly moved up to larger engines. He worked at [[Isotta-Fraschini]] before [[World War II]], and then joined [[Reggiane]] to design aircraft engines.

Lampredi's fame brought him to [[Ferrari]] in [[1946]] where he designed a large 4.5 L V12 (the "[[Ferrari Lampredi engine|Lampredi engine]]") which first saw use in [[1950]]'s [[Ferrari 275|257S]]. Lampredi returned to Isotta-Fraschini in March of [[1947]] but returned to Ferrari at the beginning of [[1948]]. Lampredi's engines were used as large [[naturally-aspirated]] alternatives to the diminutive [[Gioacchino Colombo]]-designed V12s used in most Ferrari cars until that time. Especially after the failure of Colombo's supercharged engine in [[Formula 1]], Lampredi's design began to find favor in the company. Lampredi oversaw Ferrari's racing effort during its early success in [[1952]] and [[1953]].

Lampredi's work at Ferrari ended permanently in [[1955]] when Ferrari bought [[Lancia]]'s racing team and famed engine designer [[Vittorio Jano]], formerly of [[Alfa Romeo]]. Though Lampredi's engine designs lived on in Ferrari road cars, Jano's V6 and V8 engines quickly replaced Lampredi's large V12s for racing use.

After Ferrari, Lampredi went to [[Fiat]], where he oversaw that company's engine design efforts until [[1977]]. It was at Fiat where he designed the Fiat Twin-Cam engine, which was the staple engine of the carmaker for over 32 years. He was also made manager of Fiat's [[Abarth]] factory racing group from [[1973]] through [[1982]].

Riding the scooter is definitely fun. Things I like about it are- Its easy, when riding down the street, to stop and chat. Somehow on a bicycle or a regular scooter, its a huge nuisance to stop. But on this scooter, it seems very natural to pull up and chat while standing on it.Its pretty easy to drive around inside the office. The low-speed maneuverability makes it easy to go through doors.
