5 new cars added
Honda RA272 ’65
The F1 machine that gave Honda its first victory.
With its innovative ideas and cutting-edge engineering skills, Honda has achieved a number of technological revolutions. A great example of this is their early efforts in F1 in 1964 when they were still relatively unknown as a car manufacturer. The machine they developed was the RA271 which used an aluminum shell over a spaceframe body, with a 1.5L V12 engine in an unusual transverse position amidships. However, his uniqueness would be his downfall and he failed to achieve any success in his debut year. In 1965, Honda subjected the machine to a radical overhaul that resulted in the RA272. The RA272E engine was a more efficient version of the previous V12 with lighter components. The rear suspension construction was changed from an inboard to an outboard configuration, reducing weight from 525kg to 498kg, a significant improvement. At the wheel were Ronnie Bucknum in his second year, as well as new driver Richie Ginther.
Italdesign Exeneo Vision Gran Turismo Street and Off Road Mode
A high-performance luxury car prepared as a ‘well-wrapped gift’.
Founded in 1968 in Turin, Italy, Italdesign has designed and engineered more than 300 production cars and debuted more than 100 concept cars at the world’s leading motor shows. Many of his pieces have been presented in Gran Turisme. Some of the cars designed by Italdesign have become true movie stars, such as the De Lorean DMC 12, which starred in the ‘Back to the Future’ trilogy, or the Lotus Esprit, which was driven by Roger Moore in ‘The Spy that he loved me’. The Italdesign Exeneo Vision Gran Turismo continues the long Italian tradition of Gran Turismo cars, albeit updated with cutting-edge technology. Inspired by the 2013 all-road, mid-rear engine, compact GT Italdesign Parcour, this concept car features four different chassis configurations (track, snow, off-road and urban) and was designed to be driven both on and off-road. road tracks A powerful central V10 engine, together with two 200 kW (268.2 hp) electric motors, ensures a total output of 910 kW (1,219.9 hp), allowing the Exeneo VGT to reach a top speed of 236.1 mph , with acceleration from 0. to 62.1 mph in 2.5 seconds. A 7-speed gearbox, individual wheel drive (IWD) and KERS recovery system complete the power train. To ensure maximum stability, the intelligent suspension automatically adapts to different types of terrain.
Citroën DS 21 Pallas ’70
A historical vision of the future from France.
Citroën opted for front-wheel drive, and this DS is its masterpiece, made with all the cutting-edge technologies of the time. It first appeared at the 1955 Salon de l’Automobile. While many other manufacturers were still producing cars in the pre-war style, the DS was an impressive vision of the future. With its avant-garde aerodynamic body and revolutionary hydropneumatic suspension system, it was nicknamed the ‘flying saucer’. Development was led by Andre Lefebvre, while the relatively large 4.8m long bodywork was designed by Italian Flaminio Bertoni, who had also worked on the classic 2CV. With such an avant-garde design, the popularity of the DS did not wane for some time. Including various equipment and engine upgrades, the car continued to be produced for 20 years. In 1964, the ‘Pallas’ grade was added with luxury interior and exterior fittings. Then in 1967, the car received a more modern look with the 2 round headlights replaced by 4 headlights in covered units.
Porsche 911 Race RS (901) ’73
A first in the history of the Porsche 911, the elusive RennSport.
Appearing in 1973, the 911 Carrera RS 2.7 was the first model in the long history of the Porsche 911 to bear the RS badge. RS stands for ‘Rennsport’ or simply ‘racing sport’ in English and, as the name suggests, was developed as a homologation model for the FIA Group 4 category. The 2.4 liter engine in the base model 1973 911 S has been enlarged to 2.7 liters, now producing 207.1 hp. The front end includes an air intake that allows for the addition of an oil cooler. The rear of the car features the iconic ducktail spoiler as standard, with rear fenders stretched to accommodate the new, wider rear tires. The Carrera RS 2.7 was available in 3 grades: Touring, Sport and Racing, although even the luxury Touring model weighed less than 1,100kg.
