For decades, Ferrari stood for sound, emotion and combustion engines. Now Ferrari is entering the electric era. The upcoming Ferrari EV “Luce” marks the brand’s first fully electric car and a major turning point in automotive history. Ferrari has now revealed the first look at the interior, giving us a glimpse into how the brand is translating its driver-focused philosophy into an electric future. This isn’t classic car history, not yet.But it is a historic moment in the story of the automobile. For classic car lovers, this feels like one of those turning points we’ve seen before: carburetors to fuel injection, analog to digital, manual to automatic. Each change once felt like the end of an era. Now the question returns once again: Can an electric Ferrari still feel like a real Ferrari? We’re witnessing history in real time and perhaps future classics being born. What do you think?

The Ford Mustang isn’t just a car, it’s a cultural phenomenon. Here are three fun facts that show why the Mustang changed automotive history forever: 🔹 1. Instant success On its very first day, the Mustang was ordered over 22,000 times. Dealers even had to place dummy cars in their showrooms because real ones were sold out immediately. 🔹 2. Birth of the Pony Car The Mustang created an entirely new class of cars: the pony car, compact, sporty, affordable, with a long hood and short rear deck. 🔹 3. Pop culture icon Within just one year, the Mustang already appeared in James Bond: Goldfinger, cementing its legendary status. Without the Mustang, icons like the Camaro or Challenger might never have existed. 🔥🔥Small update & question for you I’ve just opened my very first course about the 1960s, focusing on design, culture, and the cars that defined the decade (including icons like the Mustang). I’m looking for a few people who’d like early (free) access and are willing to share some feedback. Let me know what you think, and of course: 👉 Which Mustang generation is your favorite, and why? 🐎

The Monte Carlo Rally has always been more than just a race. It’s one of the few events where you can literally see the evolution of the automobile in motion. When the first Monte Carlo Rally took place in 1911, cars weren’t yet trusted.They had to prove they could handle long distances, mountains, cold weather, and reliability.Winning a rally wasn’t just about speed, it was about showing the world that cars actually worked. More than 100 years later, that challenge hasn’t changed.The 2026 Monte Carlo Rally once again showed how unpredictable and demanding this event still is. Snow, ice and changing grip made it a true test of control, technology and driver confidence — just as it was in the early days. From pioneering vehicles to today’s advanced rally machines, Monte Carlo has always been a proving ground for innovation. Many technologies we now take for granted in everyday cars were first pushed to their limits in events like this. That’s what makes this rally so special: It connects the origin of the automobile with the cars we drive today. 💬 Question for the community: Do you follow rally or motorsport, or do you mainly love the stories and history behind cars?

On January 29, 1886, Karl Benz registered the patent for the Benz Patent-Motorwagen. This moment is widely recognized as the beginning of the automobile, not of a brand, but of motorized personal transport itself. Before this invention, mobility depended on horses, carriages, or fixed rail systems. Benz’s idea was revolutionary: a vehicle that could move independently, powered by an internal combustion engine. What makes this moment so important is not speed or comfort, but concept. The automobile introduced freedom of movement, individual mobility, and a completely new way of thinking about transportation. Many manufacturers followed later, but almost every car — classic or modern — traces its roots back to this technical breakthrough in 1886. Question for the community: Do you see the birth of the automobile mainly as a technical invention, or as a social turning point? And why?

At first glance, these cars seem completely unrelated. Different brands. Different countries. Different price categories. Yet they share something fundamental. If you look closely at the proportions, the clean surfaces and the way function shapes form, you’ll start to see the same design philosophy at work. This is classic Italian design thinking from the late 60s / 70s, strongly influenced by Giorgetto Giugiaro. It’s not about copying shapes, it’s about balance, clarity and restraint. That’s why a compact Alfa, a people’s car like the Golf Mk1, and exotic cars like the Maserati Bora or Lotus Esprit can still feel related.
