Brèves de passion - NEW
Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones made a name for himself with his 1965 Bentley S3 Continental Flying Spur, nicknamed “Blue Lena” in tribute to jazz singer Lena Horne. In his autobiography, Keith Richards recalls the role of the car in their “acid trips” (the car has a secret compartment for drugs) and its importance as a symbol of challenge to society. This fully restored Bentley was purchased at the Bonhams sale at the Goodwood Revival in 2015 for €1,044,483.
Some cars are not made to go fast. They are made to stand the test of time. Classic cars don't have to be owned: they respect each other. We welcome them as we welcome a heritage. Because what they represent goes far beyond their silhouette or their mechanics: they are works of art in motion, witnesses of an era, living fragments of our automotive heritage.
There are engines that you don't forget. Mechanics whose melody resonates far beyond the road. At Lamborghini, the naturally aspirated V10 is one of them. Born with the Gallardo in 2003, extended by the Audi R8 in 2009, then enhanced with the Huracan in 2014, this iconic block has accompanied more than twenty years of automotive passion. Today is the end of a cycle. And for its last dance, Huracan is bowing out with an ultimate version: the STJ.
It all starts with a simple trip. We are in 2004. At the age of nine, Samuel Lelarge took a seat in an exceptional car. At his side, Frédéric Lasnier, a passionate collector. A moment that seems trivial, but which will become a founder. The sound of the engine, the sculpted lines of the body, the unique aura of this car... A revelation. That day, a passion was born. And with it, an idea: to make the car much more than a business of engines. Make it an art of living.
