Some cars, whether elegantly refined or radically innovative, have left an indelible mark. The Mercedes 300 SL is one of them. Derived from the 1952 Le Mans-winning 300 SL race car, the road version unveiled in 1954 retained its ultra-light tubular chassis, iconic gullwing doors, and independent suspension on all four wheels. It also introduced direct fuel injection, desmodromic valve timing, and dry sump lubrication—an impressive package of cutting-edge technology. With 215 horsepower and a top speed of 260 km/h in its long-axle version, it was the fastest production car of its time. In just three years, 1,400 units were sold—six times Ferrari’s sales over the same period.
There have been pivotal years in Formula 1. Seasons where you feel that something is changing, where certainties waver, where engineering is getting the better of habit. 2026 is one of those seasons.

F1 is about to write a chapter where anything is possible again. And that is undoubtedly what enthusiasts were waiting for: a discipline that reinvents its own future.

Sometimes stories seem unbelievable. One thing is certain, the DeLorean story is a perfect example, so much so that Martin Scorsese could have brought it to the screen. From his beginnings in working life with his first positions at General Motors, to the closure of his recently created company, John Z. Delorean has shone both in his genius and in his astonishing character. Its history and that of its brand, which are little known in their details, deserve some time. A look back is necessary to take stock of a story that is at least... out of the ordinary.
