Brèves de passion - NEW
Appearing in 1969, the Nissan GT-R was created under the name Skyline GT-R. Designed for performance, it quickly established itself as a reference on Japanese circuits and earned the nickname “Godzilla” in its R32 version. Generations follow one another, from the legendary RB26DETT engine to the explosive R34, before the R35 broke with the bloodline in 2007 and democratized it at the same time. V6 twin-turbo, dual-clutch gearbox: the GT-R abandons the Skyline name and enters a new dimension. Even today, it embodies the Japanese obsession with mechanical perfection.

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.
