$27.5 million including fees! This is the sum paid by a Canadian collector in August 2013 at a sale in Monterey to acquire a Ferrari 275 GTB/4 Spider. With this budget, your garage would be equipped with 7 or 8 impeccable Ferrari 275 GTB/4 Berlinettes. Luigi Chinetti, Ferrari importer for the USA and boss of the N.A.R.T.*, asked Enzo Ferrari in 1967 for a spider version of the 275 for his market. Would Scaglietti's skilful poking of the knife on the roof explain this difference in ratings? In part, yes. And also because only 10 copies were made!
Certaines histoires paraissent parfois invraisemblables. Une chose est sûre, l’histoire de DeLorean en est un parfait exemple, à tel point que Martin Scorsese aurait pu la porter à l’écran. De ses débuts dans la vie active avec ses premiers postes chez General Motors, à la fermeture de son entreprise tout récemment créée, John Z. Delorean a brillé tant par son génie que par son étonnant caractère. Son histoire et celle de sa marque, peu connues dans leurs détails, méritent de s’y attarder quelque peu.

Even before it enters the concierge desk, your car has already found its place in the Carsup universe. Not only in one location, but at the heart of evolving knowledge: a knowledge base that connects mechanical passion to technical rigor, data to humans.
Passing the mythical 500 km/h mark is not just a question of speed. It is a challenge that involves the most advanced engineering, the most sophisticated aerodynamics and a detailed understanding of the physical forces that are exerted at these mechanical altitudes. For two decades, a handful of manufacturers have been competing on this extreme terrain: Bugatti, Koenigsegg, SSC, and more recently the Chinese giant BYD with its Yangwang division.
