Brèves de passion - NEW
In 1948, Colin Chapman built his first car for trial racing, naming it the Lotus Mk1—unknowingly laying the foundation for what would become one of the most revered sports car brands. When the Lotus Seven debuted in 1957, it was simply the seventh Lotus model. Simple, lightweight, and minimalist, it embodied Chapman’s vision of an affordable yet exhilarating sports car.
Sixty-seven years later, this little icon, still produced by Caterham, is on the verge of breaking the longevity record previously held by the VW Beetle (1938-2003). A true testament to timeless engineering.
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.
