When, back in the 1950s, a mechanic from the French region of Dieppe named Jean Rédélé was driving along the Alpine roads, he came up with the idea of building a sports car that could give its owner the same feeling as driving his Renault 4CV along mountain roads. Thus was born a French sports […]

Seguramente, como buen amante de BMW, sabrás que el BMW M8 es básicamente un ejercicio realizado por la división deportiva de la marca alemana que lamentablemente nunca llegó a los concesionarios, quizás por sus terribles prestaciones para un vehículo de la época, algo que los directivos de BMW se negaron a fabricar. Precisamente aprovechando la […]

The passing of time is inexorable, but at BMW research and development never stop either. We leave behind the 1970s and 1980s (see part I) and dive fully into the 1990s to continue up to the present day. Let’s see how the story goes on. Third generation (E36), 1990 to 2000 This is the first […]

Perhaps the Honda NSX doesn’t come across as a true thoroughbred sports car, but it has been one of the most iconic models of Honda and one of the most missed since it left the production line in 2005. While we keep waiting for a decision from Honda regarding a new generation, let’s take a […]

The 3 Series is one of the models most representative of the spirit of BMW. It embodies the values of a sports saloon like no other and has done so since its debut in 1975. Now, after 36 years and more than 12 million units sold worldwide, it is set to be reinvented with a […]

Perhaps the Lamborghini Miura is one of the most coveted dreams of any car collector worth their salt, as well as one of the most sought-after vehicles of the moment, since, without a doubt, it could be one of those timeless cars that all manufacturers look to when designing their new models. Even so, history […]

For some time I have wanted to tell you something about the Alfa Romeo Montreal, one of the most radical sports cars that the authentic Alfa Romeo (unlike today’s) put on sale. The Montreal was produced over a relatively long period, although curiously it was never redesigned and kept the same design and mechanics from […]

De Tomaso es una marca que nos ha dado dos modelos espectaculares, el Pantera y el Mangusta, pero que signada por la mala suerte de haber vivido un hecho histórico que afectó a millones de automovilistas y fabricantes a principios de la década de los años 70, justamente cuándo la vida le sonreía a la […]

As a lover of classic cars, I frequently visit a few websites on the Internet with information and details that are hard to find almost anywhere else. Not that I have any particular restoration project in mind, but there are some cars that are not easily forgotten. I’ve just spent a very pleasant while looking […]
