Brèves de passion - NEW
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.
Since April 25, 1931, when the company Porsche GmbH was founded by Ferdinand Porsche, the German brand has been at the forefront of the global automotive scene. Its ability to produce models at the cutting edge of technology allows it to remain among the leaders. Between the 911, Boxster, Cayman ranges and the models entered in racing, the know-how of the German firm is well established. Over the years, the race for power and exclusivity has raged among manufacturers. Thus, in the early 2000s, the German firm launched the production of a new model: the Carrera GT, a real supercar.
