Sometimes, more is just too much. The 1959 Cadillacs marked the peak—and the end—of an era of stylistic one-upmanship fueled by America’s fascination with aviation. Lavishly chromed and featuring aggressive front ends, 1950s American cars saw their tailfins grow to extravagant proportions. The ’59 Caddies were the ultimate expression of this trend. Considering they were aimed at a wealthy, mature, and rather serious clientele, the contrast between intent and execution is almost comical. By the following model year, designers had already begun drastically scaling back their metallic space-age excesses.
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.
It all starts with a simple trip. We are in 2004. At the age of nine, Samuel Lelarge took a seat in an exceptional car. At his side, Frédéric Lasnier, a passionate collector. A moment that seems trivial, but which will become a founder. The sound of the engine, the sculpted lines of the body, the unique aura of this car... A revelation. That day, a passion was born. And with it, an idea: to make the car much more than a business of engines. Make it an art of living.
