The Audi TT was not just an original and compact sports car when it came out but also a design icon that the german brand knew how to update it since the early model back in 1998.; more than 20 years ago.

The car is very well balanced and is an instant fit for those we love driving. Ergonomics are excellent even for someone over 6 ft 4 in tall. Definitely I look cooler in a bigger cabrio but is just the look, … as I said, the ergonomics are excellent. I also love…

Bugatti Bolide Uncomparably fast, light, extreme. With its Bugatti Bolide presented a few weeks ago, the French luxury brand is once again pushing the boundaries of what is physically possible. Never before has Bugatti designed such an uncompromising vehicle, focused solely on the race track.

They simulated maximum loads, acceleration times and lap times in the virtual environment. “With the Bolide we have dared to pursue an experiment of extremes. In our history that dates more than 110-years, there has…

Porsche has had its Development Centre here since 1971, in the middle of idyllic countryside and just 25 kilometres from the main factory in Zuffenhausen. All new series production models are created in Weissach – from the first sketch, through scale models up to development of new engines, chassis and near-production prototypes, which are evaluated on test rigs, in wind tunnels and on the in-house…

Ferrari SF90 Spider As the Prancing Horse’s first production plug-in hybrid spider, the SF90 Spider sets new performance and innovation benchmarks not only for the marque’s range, but for the entire sports car sector.
