Brèves de passion - NEW
A graduate of HEC, Jean Rédélé was the youngest Renault dealer in 1946, at the age of 24, when he took over his father's business in Dieppe. At the weekend, he competes with his 4 CV to promote it: Sunday victories make Monday sales! In order to improve performance, Jean Rédélé had a first 4CV with a special body made in 1953, designed by Michellotti. In 1955, a new special was made of polyester. Deciding to produce this A106, he founded his brand giving it the name Alpine, in memory of the pleasure he had in traveling the roads of the Alps.
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.
