Ferrari “12 Cylinders”, 830 horsepower maximum power

Redazione
ferrari 12Cilindri

There is an inextricable link between Ferrari and 12-cylinder engines. The V12 mechanical architecture represents the founding act of the Maranello company and has symbolized its motoring DNA for 77 years. Precisely for this reason, “12Cilindri” today becomes the name of a new two-seater sedan created to pay homage to the history of the Cavallino, giving the fashions and trends currently in vogue in the super sports car segment. Contrary to what is proposed by all the most prestigious brands, Ferrari has deliberately avoided any form of electrification to maintain…

On or fff road: the Mv Agusta “Lxp Enduro Veloce”

Mv Agusta Lxp Enduro Veloce

In 2023, street enduro motorcycles have proven to be the best-selling models on the market. So much so that, out of the ten best-selling motorcycles, eight are enduros. In fact, it’s eight and a half, as in third place, behind the Benelli “Trk 502” and Honda “Africa Twin,” is the Yamaha “Tracer 9,” which straddles between street enduro and touring bike. This trend makes it inevitable for major manufacturers to maintain a presence in this segment with at least one model, and has even prompted MV Agusta, a brand traditionally…

Ford “Mustang Gtd Carbon”: limited edition

Redazione

The 2025 “Gtd” version of Ford’s iconic “Mustang” was presented in a limited edition mid-last year, but deliveries have yet to begin, as they are expected between the end of this year and the beginning of 2025. This supercar is decidedly testosterone-fueled, a term justified by its strong technical and aesthetic content aimed at combining racing car performance with street muscle car design. For instance, the main design constraint given by Ford to its engineers when they started developing the “Mustang Gtd” was to create a car capable of lapping…

Audi “S3” model year 2024

Redazione

In an increasingly globalized automotive market where manufacturers seem almost exclusively focused on electrification processes, Audi reminds the entire industry that cars are also about passion and driving pleasure. This reminder comes with the restyling intervention that the German brand has decided to apply to the “A3” series, refreshed in both exterior and interior design details, along with the announcement of the revamped “S3” sports version. In this case, however, calling it a restyling is quite an understatement, as the Ingolstadt brand has profoundly renewed one of the most appreciated…

Opel “Frontera” is back

Redazione

“Frontera” returns, the historic name of the automotive industry which was the successful protagonist of the market between 1991 and 2003. It’s a shame, however, that Opel has decided to distort its legacy, delegating the comeback of an acronym synonymous with off-road vehicles to a crossover that has nothing to do with what to share with the original version. The choice, perhaps the result of the desire to resort to emotional names from the past to relaunch sales or the result of Opel’s entry into a universe, Stellantis, which had…

Jeep by Mopar

Redazione

Every year in the state of Utah, particularly in the town of Moab, one of the most important off-road enthusiasts’ gatherings takes place, an event that attracts thousands of cars, each more or less elaborately modified depending on their intended uses, as well as the owners’ economic means and fantasies. These modifications have over time turned the gathering into a sort of tuning showcase, featuring the top brands in the industry. Among these is Mopar, a brand belonging to the Stellantis group, especially under the Jeep brand, which has been…
