Since April 25, 1931, when the company Porsche GmbH was founded by Ferdinand Porsche, the German brand has been at the forefront of the global automotive scene. Its ability to produce models at the cutting edge of technology allows it to remain among the leaders. Between the 911, Boxster, Cayman ranges and the models entered in racing, the know-how of the German firm is well established. Over the years, the race for power and exclusivity has raged among manufacturers. Thus, in the early 2000s, the German firm launched the production of a new model: the Carrera GT, a real supercar.

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.

The maintenance of an exceptional car cannot be left to chance. Every component, every fluid, and every setting plays a critical role in maintaining vehicle performance and reliability. The Carsup maintenance program is based on a methodical and progressive approach, guaranteeing complete coverage of mechanical needs over the years.

While some predicted the disappearance of the V12 Ferrari in 2012, the brand with the prancing horse managed to maintain its hegemony for many more years. After the F12 Berlinetta and the 812 Superfast, Ferrari is reiterating and unveiling the 12 Cilindri (pronounced “Dodici Cilindri”), with an air of homage to its historic engine. We need to take advantage of this potential latest V12 that offers 830 horsepower and a red zone perched at no less than 9,500 rpm!

While Renault and Alpine continue their close collaboration, the two French manufacturers simultaneously unveil the new generation Renault 5 and the Alpine A290. Rather similar, these two cousins nevertheless offer two very different worlds. The Alpine spirit and sportiness are undeniably present in this A290, the brand's first 100% electric.

The 911 will have kept its internal combustion engine intact for many years. This time, evolution takes precedence over tradition and offers us the first hybrid 911 in history. This new engine appeared during the restyling of the 992 generation, and this in only one version, the GTS.

The Porsche 911 is the archetype of the sports car and its 60-year history is a novel. The first serial 911 left the assembly line in Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen on September 14, 1964. It is an entirely new car, propelled by a new 6-cylinder flat 6-cylinder air-cooled by air, with dry sump lubrication, of 2 liters and 130 hp allowing 210 km/h at a peak. It does not use any elements from its big sister, the 356. The 911 Turbo series, type 930, was presented at the 1974 Paris Motor Show...

So beautiful, to the point of being considered a milestone in automotive design, and to have integrated the collections of one of the largest museums of contemporary art in the world. So daring, that Enzo Ferrari himself, although usually so quiet, would have made a rave comment about it when it was released. So desirable, that those who did not have the chance to drive it invent faults. So rare, and yet 77,000 copies were produced in its various versions.

Presented in October 1984 at the Paris Motor Show where it caused a sensation, the Ferrari Testarossa is now a “classic”. It is clear that despite its age, it is still a very impressive car.
