Brèves de passion - NEW

Modern supercars push the boundaries of physics. While Bugatti and Koenigsegg battle fiercely to break the 500 km/h barrier, a certain Mercedes-Benz W125 Rekordwagen had already reached 432.7 km/h… back in 1938! With a drag coefficient of just 0.170, a supercharged 5.576L V12 producing 765 horsepower, and a weight of around 1,000 kg, the Rekordwagen was the pinnacle of efficiency. It held its record for an astonishing 79 years before finally being dethroned by the Agera RS and its monstrous 1,360 horsepower. Simply breathtaking.
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.
