Brèves de passion - NEW
In the early 1970s, producer Robert S. Baker secured an Aston Martin DBS for Roger Moore’s character in the series The Persuaders!. Initially, Aston Martin had promised a DBS V8, but since it wasn’t available at the time, a Bahama Yellow DBS Vantage with a six-cylinder engine was used instead—disguised as a V8 with the correct wheels and front spoiler.
For the show, the car was registered BS1 (Brett Sinclair 1), though in one episode (The Gold Napoleon), the mechanics forgot to swap the plates, revealing its original registration.
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.
