Designing a convertible that is as pleasant when open as it is closed is not an easy task. In 2004, Ferrari offered a unique and original solution with the 575 Superamerica based on the 575M Maranello. An electrochromic glass roof pivots 180° backwards until it rests on the flat surface of the trunk. The rear window acts as an anti-fog. This elegant system was patented by Leonardo Fioravanti, a major designer at Pininfarina from 1964 to 1986. This clever system remained as rare as the 559 examples of Ferrari 575 Superamerica built.
Since its creation by Jean Rédélé in June 1955, in the streets of Dieppe, the brand with the “A” arrow has never stopped fighting to become a reference in French cars on a global scale. Although its history has not always been linear, Alpine is now celebrating its 70th anniversary with festivities worthy of the event. A look back at the history of the brand.
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.
