Brèves de passion - NEW
What is the link between the De Lorean, the Golf 1, the 1966 Maserati Ghibli, the 1966 Maserati Ghibli, the Fiat Panda or the Lotus Esprit or the BMW M1? Only one. They all stem from the creative genius of one man: Giorgetto Giugiaro, who has just died at the age of 85. Joining Fiat at a young age, he forged his style at Bertone (Alfa Giulia GT, Iso Grifo) then at Ghia (De Tomaso Mangusta) before founding Ital Design in 1968. His ability to create cars of great diversity, from the most modest to the most extravagant, remains astonishing to say the least!
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.
