Everyone knew the Butch Cassidy star was a car enthusiast, but this? In 1988, Paul Newman bought a Volvo 740 Turbo—only to swap out its modest four-cylinder engine for a 3.8L turbocharged V6 from a Buick Regal GNX. The result? A power jump from 154 to 300 horsepower. But Newman didn’t stop there—he replaced the stock transmission with a five-speed Borg-Warner manual and added an “Aero” style body kit. This one-of-a-kind Volvo, built to his exact taste, recently sold for $80,000—not an unreasonable price when you consider the legend behind it.
Participating in a rally or an automotive event is much more than just a trip. It is a commitment, a demanding organization, and often a complex logistics. At Carsup, we support each owner of exceptional vehicles with a clear approach: transforming constraints into comfort, and every moment spent around the car into a fluid experience.
To succeed the Bugatti Chiron, the Alsatian brand has a lot to do. Produced since 2016 and a true automotive flagship, the Chiron marks the end of its production in May 2024 with the Ultimate, which celebrates the model's journey. To replace the Chiron and its 1500 to 1600 horsepower W16, Bugatti, and its new director Mate Rimac, are unveiling a completely new engine. The chosen one is a unique naturally aspirated V16 engine, marking a new era for the manufacturer. This novelty will not be the only one, as the model unveiled on June 20, 2024 and scheduled for production in 2026 is designed from scratch. Here is the Bugatti Tourbillon and its V16 hybrid, developing a whopping 1,800 horsepower.
Owning an exceptional car is much more than just driving pleasure. While performances are fascinating, aesthetics are often what amazes at first sight. However, even if pampered, a car undergoes the invisible assaults of its environment over time: gravel thrown at high speed, insects embedded on a radiator grill heated by summer bitumen, or acid rain that dulls the brilliance of a deep color. At Carsup, we consider cosmetic maintenance to be an essential approach, a preservation ritual in the service of the beauty, value and longevity of your vehicle. Much more than simple cleaning, it is know-how, a requirement.
