Understated: The Opel Astra Oct 09, 2019

Show notes

Tatra 87 Oct 09, 2019

Show notes

Based in what’s now the Czech Republic, Tatra ranks among the world’s oldest automakers. Launched in 1936, the Tatra 87 was one of the fastest series-production vehicles of its day. And when it comes to style, it’s still a standout.

Retro: Fiat 124 Spider Oct 09, 2019

Even the technical data takes your breath away: 467 kW, from zero to 100 km/h in 3.8 seconds, 333 km/h top speed. Plus exclusive luxury including diamond-knurled rotary knobs and a triple-rotating display instrument in the dashboard.

Maserati Quattroporte - heated discussion about hot car Sep 25, 2019

Quattroporte means four-door - a boring name for a luxury car. But back in 1963, four doors were extraordinary for Maserati. This DW test was also extraordinary - with two experts trying out the new version of Italy's answer to the Mercedes S-Class.
