The 2024 season will go down as one of the most successful in Porsche's long-distance history: in just the second year with the Porsche 963, the sports car manufacturer from Stuttgart won seven of eight possible titles together with the works team Porsche Penske Motorsport. The basis for this result was the consistent improvement of the team structure as well as the work on the reliability and performance of the around 515 kW (700 PS) hybrid prototype.

The eponymous Pagani Automobili S.p.A was founded by Argentine-Italian Horacio Pagani in 1992, with the first production car, the Zonda C12, being presented at the 1999 Geneva Motor Show. This formed the backbone of production, with a number of bespoke variants, through to the introduction of the Huayra model in 2011, again at the Geneva Motor Show, with the production run also containing a number of bespoke examples.

Whereas the majority of museums feature a constant display theme, the pair of Ferrari museums in Maranello and Modena ring the changes with themed exhibitions through the course of the year. Thus, there is always a good reason for a return visit. The Ferrari Museum in Maranello also features its regular amphitheatre-style display of Formula One cars, with the entrance walls containing trophies and images of the drivers who have won them through the years.

Best Sports Car of all Time’s 70th: Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR

In 2025, the legendary Mille Miglia victory by Stirling Moss and Denis Jenkinson will celebrate its 70th anniversary! The two pilots were competing for Mercedes-Benz in a 300 SLR. At 7:22 a.m. they rolled off the starting ramp in Brescia (hence the race number 722) and after 10 hours, 7 minutes and 48 seconds they had made it all the way to Rome and back. 1,000 miles at an average speed of 157.651 km/h on public roads, an eternal record!

On 18 February 2024, the new “Ferrari One of a Kind” exhibition at the Museo Enzo Ferrari in Modena was officially inaugurated. The display celebrates the craftsmanship behind each unique masterpiece that emerges from the Ferrari factory gates thanks to the exclusive personalisation programme offered by the company’s three Tailor Made centres in Maranello, New York and Shanghai. Now open to the public, the exhibition reveals the exclusivity of these one-of-a-kind cars, each expressing the personality, taste and desires of individual Ferrari owners.

The new Exhibition "Supercars" Opens at the Enzo Ferrari Museum in Modena

The Museo Lamborghini is situated to the right of the main entrance of the factory in Sant’Agata Bolognese, which is a historic small town in the countryside, approximately mid way between Bologna and Modena. A bonus of its location right on the factory premises is that one will see cars being taken out on test, and maybe even spot the odd prototype. The factory is on the main SP 255, Via Modena, on the outskirts of the town, but within walking distance of the historic centre, and is still the site on which Ferruccio Lamborghini established the original factory in 1963.

Already more then 1.000.000+ images from the barchetta / anamera image archive were published, the images contain chassis numbers,

Similarly, the normally bright green lawns looked a rather sad yellow due to the particularly dry summer.
