While it might not be as influential as its predecessor the Countach, the Lamborghini Diablo is probably second when it comes to emblematic cars coming from Sant’Agata Bolognese. Brutal, bold, extreme in design and performance, it was the last car produced by the Italian firm before it was placed under the control of Audi and the […]
There’s a saying that I’ve always appreciated, “They don’t make them like they used to”. I mentioned in a recent Petrolhead Corner on V4 Motorcycles that we’re truly in a golden age of motorcycles. They’ve never been better as far as power, performance, technology and reliability, but sometimes things can be “too good” and stray […]
In the world of restomods, one name surely stands out, and that’s Singer. And admittedly, it feels a bit off to call the cars made by Singer Vehicle Design a restomod – despite the fact they are. The insane quality and attention to detail on display feel like it’s much more than ‘just’ a restomod. […]
Considering the fact we’re smack-bang in the middle of the summer season, it’s time to take a refreshing drive down to the beach. And what better type of car to do that, than with a Beach Car? We’ve touched upon the topic once before when we showed you the Meyers Manx, Renault 4CV Jolly, the […]
As a biker myself for a little over a year now, and having recently purchased my very first motorcycle, my interest is not purely focused on cars anymore. Admittedly, next to watches cars are my biggest passion, but the love affair with two-wheeled motorized fun is growing stronger and stronger with every ride I take. […]
Birthdays are to be celebrated, whether it’s a personal one or one related to a company or product. Just as in watchmaking, where this year we celebrate anniversaries of the Rolex Daytona, TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph, Blancpain Fifty Fathoms and many others, there’s plenty of partying going on in the car industry. Iconic cars like […]
If you have been watching the 24 Hours of Le Mans last weekend, you have been witnessing something spectacular. People sometimes say something was history in the making, and although everything that we do is literally just that, the saying does sum up the centennial edition of the famous endurance race (which ended up being […]
Who doesn’t like a good collaboration, especially when it involves watches and motorcycles. Dutch watch enthusiast Tom van Wijlick recently revived the Lebois & Co. watch brand and has collaborated with Indian Motorcycle for a special edition of the Heritage Chronograph. Both brands are known for reviving classics and this is a perfect marriage of […]
After roughly four years of sharing car-related content under the moniker of The Petrolhead Corner, to provide a bit of a break from the horological content we serve up every week, you’d think we’ve just about seen it all. But you’d be wrong, and even we are surprised from time to time by discovering cool […]
It is said the first-ever motor race happened right after the second-ever car was built. And as difficult as it is to constitute that claim, it does paint a pretty good picture of how far back motor racing goes. Sources mention several different events as the first official race in history, but the original one […]
