We’re only weeks away from the start of the 2024 Formula 1 season, as all the teams have presented their new cars (mainly liveries) over the past fortnight or so. But this time around, it wasn’t the new cars that were the talk of the town, but rather the shock announcement that Lewis Hamilton has […]
The Petrolhead Corner is going offroading today, but not for the sake of competition, thrills or entertainment, but for the sake of saving lives. While that might sound like a very dramatic intro, it’s very much true that in an emergency situation every second counts. Especially when you’re stuck in hard-to-reach places like a barren […]
It’s no secret Porsche is extremely capable of building race-winning cars in all forms of racing. From Formula 1 to Rallying, the brand has conquered it all. But its biggest legacy perhaps, is in endurance racing, with a record-setting 19 overall wins at Le Mans and 18 overall wins at the Daytona 24 Hours race. […]
Supercars and hypercars all have one thing in common; it’s a constant battle of power versus weight. The all-electric Pininfarina Battista hypercar we wrote about in our Petrolhead Corner a while ago, for instance, is no different and puts up 1,900 horsepower against 2,063 kg.

And despite that, one of the oldest car companies in the world actually originates from Prague, […]
Legends are created whenever something is achieved that was deemed impossible before that point in time. It happens through sheer determination, or the perfect coming together of all variable circumstances to allow someone, or something, to make a statement that lasts on for years, decades even. Throughout racing history, there are countless legendary events, drivers […]
Back in 2019, we inaugurated the Petrolhead Corner as a way to provide a break from all the watch-related news we bring you and to share another passion that runs deep for several members of MONOCHROME’s Editorial Team. Our love for cars has since grown into a weekly column full of amazing car stories from […]
The small but very interesting industry for high-end restored and bespoke vehicles doesn’t seem to be slowing down. We’re regularly treated to new and exciting projects where a small but extremely skilful workshop or engineering firm aims to build an enhanced version of a prolific vintage car. Often referred to as a restomod, a combination […]
Imagine this; you’ve enjoyed a leisurely afternoon with your significant other in the French Riviera. You’ve had a small bite to eat, a lovely refreshing drink and enjoyed life in the moment. The drive up to your house takes about 30 minutes but takes you along the shore for a bit before heading inland and […]
