There are many special cars in the history of Porsche, but few that reach the level of the Porsche 356. We are talking about the first production vehicle that the German firm made in series, a sports car that laid the foundations of sportsmanship and that was really important for its development. It is precisely now that it is celebrating 75 years of its launch, so a celebration to match was mandatory. And they have achieved it with the Porsche Vision 357, which is a prototype that serves as a reinterpretation of said model in a modern key. In the brand they have tried to project what the sports car that Ferry Porsche would have dreamed of in the case of being in current times. To give it life they have taken one of their most powerful bases, that of the 718 Cayman GT4 RS. It is what makes...

This year, The ban on manufacturing gasoline and diesel cars comes into force in the Old Continent, Thus, the brands are preparing, with high investments, for complete electric mobility.

Fossil fuels are almost doomed to disappear, taking into account the strict European emission regulations. Full electrification seems like the long-term solution, although efforts are also being made to develop environmentally friendly biofuels. Although its future is not yet clear, it seems quite clear that traditional gasoline and diesel will gradually be withdrawn. And users will have to get used to it, as it is said that the fuel price will rise 70% between now and 2030. It is an estimate taken from a recent study by Deloitte, which is based on the new energy taxation that the European Union will apply to transport. From 2026 it will be included in the ETS system and that will translate into increases in fuel prices ranging from 20 to 70%. This is a distance tax rate that currently has...
Carlos Sainz The 2023 preseason has already started aboard a single-seater. He did it in Fiorano with the SF21, the car he used Ferrari for the 2021 season, completing a total of 119 laps. Those 119 laps are equivalent to 354 kilometers filming for the Spaniard, in a day that has not been as long as expected from the Scuderia because of the rain. Despite running dry for half of the session, Sainz used the wet tires both at the beginning of the morning and at the end of the session. It should be remembered that Formula 1 has prohibited pilots from driving with the new car before the initial tests, so Ferrari organized this training session with the 2021 car, one that Sainz knows very well as it was from his first season with the Italians. Despite this inability to use the new car (which at ...

There is a question that many Alonsistas continue to ask themselves despite the fact that, as the months go by, the answers take shape despite not yet having solid arguments: in July 2022, seeing a Alpine up and a Aston Martin stagnant, why did Fernando Alonso decide to change Enstone for Silverstone? At first there was a lot of talk about the conditions and duration of the contract, but the two-time world champion in Formula 1 he never stitches without a thread and the hard work of the team was able to decide his decision. This is how he has revealed it Mike Krackhead of Aston Martin, when asked in an interview in ‘Ace’ what differentiates the green team from the blue. “You should ask Fernando. The green team stands out because we are expanding, we are very serious about...

If the first Codalunga showed a combination of a blue exterior with a brown leather interior and light blue details, This second example combines a bronze exterior with an almost orange light br...
Finished the 2022 season of Formula 1 and digested the output of Fernando Alonso of Alpine Course to Aston Martin, Esteban Ocon he sharpened his knives and directly attacked the one who had been his partner for two seasons. “98% of the work fell on my back and 2% on yours. He was overworked. He did all the development of the simulator, the marketing…”, said the Frenchman, affirming what his boss would later confirm: the Asturian does not like the simulator. “This year, with a new car, there was a lot of work to do and Fernando is not someone who likes to do –simulator work. But that doesn’t change what an incredible driver he is,” Laurent Rossi, the team’s CEO, said days later. Well, that mentality of a two-time champion like Alonso is the antithes...
Last year, BMW brought back the initials CSL to dress the M4 in its most radical version. Of course, with the 50 years of the M division, it was the best occasion. Now many of those cheats will be available in the new bmw M3 CS 2023which perpetuates in part, the spirit of the M3 CS of 2018only with a much more extroverted look. Why not call it CSL? Surely BMW wanted to reserve those acronyms exclusively for the coupe model (M4) but also because by not being able to sacrifice the rear seats, this CS is not entirely the lightest experience of the brand. Still, BMW subjected the CS to its traditional CFRP (carbon fiber reinforced plastic) diet, including the roof, hood, front splitter, front air intakes, exterior mirror housings, diffuser and the rear wing....
