Peugeot is one of the world’s most renowned automotive manufacturers. The brand is a synonym of reliability, as even today some of its 1950s and 1960s models are being used by individuals and businesses in different parts of the world.

The company started as a family business that opened doors in 1810 and specialized in the production of coffee mills and bicycles. In 1858, Émile Peugeot created the lion trademark while Armand Peugeot built the company’s first car in 1889. In 1896, due to family discord, Armand Peugeot established the Société des Automobiles Peugeot, which has been manufacturing automobiles to this day.

Respecting the Past

In 2020, Peugeot celebrated its 210th-anniversary and decided to honor the company’s past by launching a new restoration and sales service for its classic automobile.

The vintage vehicles will be brought back to life at the workshops of the Musée de l’Aventure Peugeot in Sochaux, France. Once the restoration work is over, all automobiles will be granted a certificate of authenticity and will be sold to automotive and Peugeot aficionados.

All sales will be executed online, so more people can have the opportunity to purchase one of the brand’s most emblematic vehicles. The new sales section will be added to the company’s website in 2021.

Peugeot Owners Can Also Rejuvenate their Vehicles

In addition to the company’s new service, vehicle owners possessing classic models will be able to book their automobiles for a complete or partial restoration by the Peugeot experts.

The first automobile that will be restored at the company’s workshops is a black 1.9-liter Peugeot 205 GTI.

The restoration specialists at the Musée de l’Aventure Peugeot have already ensured a broad range of authentic spare parts by either salvaging them or producing them through 3D-manufacturing in case the items are no longer being made.

This new initiative is highly antiquated by Peugeot enthusiasts who wish to purchase a classic or have their vintage vehicles restored.

Lamborghini has been known for making amazing driving machines for decades, but it seems the Italian car manufacturer has gone bigger than ever. The latest Lamborghini is bringing the car manufacturer’s most powerful V12 engine ever to the track in the near future.

Keeping the Details Quiet

There is a lot of mystery surrounding the latest Lamborghini SCV12, but the one thing we do know is how powerful the engine will be. Lamborghini’s Squadra Corse is a limited-edition track-only supercar that will be taking pole position when it begins racing later in the year. With the car manufacturer vowing to keep details about the SCV12 close to its chest, the only thing known about it is the engine power. Lamborghini estimates that the SCV12’s engine will produce 830hp.

Unlocking True Power

Lamborghini has developed the SCV12 in cooperation with its motorsport division, and it’s expected to have a higher downforce than a GT3 car. Coupling the car’s downforce and aerodynamic capabilities is one of the main reasons why the car will be so powerful. The SCV12 has an extra-long hood with two air intakes, all directing the airflow into the inflow scoop on the roof. Lamborghini explained that the car is capable of hitting over 830hp “thanks to the aerodynamic supercharging at high speed.”

Keeping It Under Wraps

The exotic car manufacturer recently announced it would no longer be attending large car shows. Instead, Lamborghini wants to focus on small and more personable events, which is what it believes its customers prefer. In keeping with that exclusive mentality, the SCV12’s bodywork is also a closely-guarded secret with camouflaged images being the only ones we have seen so far.

With Lamborghini blowing most of the competition out of the water when it comes to style, what’s under the hood is also a monster. This new SCV12 is set to get driver’s pulses racing when it hits the track.
