Brèves de passion - NEW
€135 million! World record for a car, obtained by RM Sotheby's for a Mercedes 300 SLR Coupé Uhlenhaut in May 2022. This result places it in the top 10 of the most expensive items sold at auction. It is true that only 2 copies of this legendary car, derived from the W196 racing car, have always remained the property of the factory. A first hand made, and one of the rarest cars in the world! The revenue is intended to create a “Mercedes-Benz Fund” to finance scholarships in environmental sciences.
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.
