Category: The Petrolhead Corner

Saturday means another kind of mechanics here, at MONOCHROME. As every week, we share with you our second passion: cars (like real cars, those that smell and make some noise). This week’s Petrolhead Corner is a “best of the web”, with some of the coolest stories we found. One of the most legendary engines explained, […]

There are countless classic-car related events around the world and throughout the year. However, when it comes to the highest quality and the most impressive cars, the list goes down to a handful… Goodwood, Chantilly, Le Mans, Villa d’Este and of course, Pebble Beach. Like for every edition of this “Concours d’élégance” (considered the most […]

Goodwood FoS “Festival of Speed”… If you’re into cars, you probably know that this event has become one of the major car-related events of the year. But on the contrary to the cold halls of the Paris “Mondial de l’Auto” or the Geneva International Motor Show, Goodwood FoS is all about smoking tyres, noise, action […]

Ferrari, the Prancing Horse, the “Rosso Corsa” bright red colour, the noise (music), the fame, the magic… The dream car for many of us.

In last week’s Petrolhead Corner we had a talk with Rob Dickinson, the man behind the coolest Porsche 911 restomods on the planet, and this week we’re continuing a bit on the same track. We all know that electrical vehicles are here and before you know it, we all will be driving these ‘things’. Like quartz watches, yes we know they are more precise, yes they require less service and are just better timekeepers for the money. But… they do not create the same emotions. Here at MONOCHROME, we’re maybe a bit nostalgic. We love the howling sound of a flat six that’s being pushed to maximum rpm’s and the smell of gasoline and oil. So, here we go for a next Petrolhead Corner installment.

Every Saturday MONOCHROME brings you a weekly fix of fuel-infused reading and viewing… Even though this week’s episode won’t be so much about burning petrol – one has to adapt to his times (apparently). So fasten your seatbelt and let’s look at some of the most entertaining car-related stories we found around the web. Volkswagen […]

No worries, MONOCHROME is still a magazine about watches and our love of beautiful horology. However, truth be told, watches aren’t our only passion… There are other kinds of wheels, pinions and engines that drive us crazy. Today, we’re introducing a new series on MONOCHROME, something that is still driven by passion, something that is […]
