Spring is coming, the temperatures are rising, and the asphalt is already calling you: it's the ideal time to get your classic or sports car out of the winter! But before regaining the pleasure of driving, a ritual is essential. Because beautiful mechanics do not wake up lightly, a successful restart requires care and attention.
Preparing for the spring restart of your car means maintaining its performance, aesthetics and value. For us at Carsup, it's also one of the most precious moments of the year: when passion comes back to life.
Winter immobilization, while it helped protect your car from the vagaries of the weather, is not without consequences on its mechanical condition. Time acts in silence: fluids that degrade, battery that discharges or tires that deform.
Even before the key is inserted, each component deserves meticulous attention.
If it has not been replaced before wintering, its properties may be impaired. An oil change is necessary to ensure optimal lubrication from the first start.
As a guarantor of thermal stability, it must be carefully controlled to prevent overheating.
The discs may have a thin layer of corrosion, and brake fluid can absorb moisture, impairing its effectiveness. A gentle road test will assess the behavior of the system.
Pressure loss is common, as is the appearance of flats or microcracks. A visual inspection and a pressure check are essential.
The battery is often the first victim of inactivity in the absence of maintaining a charge. A voltage of less than 12.4V requires immediate recharging or even replacement.
It's these details, which are often invisible, that make all the difference. Effective foresight is essential for the proper functioning of your sports or vintage vehicle.
Spring is also the time to regain the brilliance of paint, the softness of leather and the brilliance of chromes. Since wintering often leaves some traces, an aesthetic repair is essential to preserve the value of your vehicle.
Dust residues, stagnant humidity, micro-scratches... professional hand washing, followed by polishing, restores shine to the original shade. For the most demanding, the application of a ceramic treatment or a PPF film ensures lasting protection.
The leathers may have dried out, the carpets may have caught the humidity. Cleaning, nourishing and specific treatments: each material regains its original brilliance.
Checking the joints, cleaning and polishing the headlights guarantee comfort and safety.
More than a cleaning, it is a beauty treatment. Your car is revealed again, ready to hit the road, and in perfect condition.

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.
It all starts with a simple trip. We are in 2004. At the age of nine, Samuel Lelarge took a seat in an exceptional car. At his side, Frédéric Lasnier, a passionate collector. A moment that seems trivial, but which will become a founder. The sound of the engine, the sculpted lines of the body, the unique aura of this car... A revelation. That day, a passion was born. And with it, an idea: to make the car much more than a business of engines. Make it an art of living.
For 20 years, the Swedish brand whose name we can't pronounce has continued to impress us with its innovations. Led by Christian von Koenigsegg, it is now part of the very limited circle of manufacturers capable of producing the most advanced hypercars in the world.
