1984 Lamborghini Countach LP 5000S for sale

When the Lamborghini Countach appeared, it shocked the whole world. Now, one rare example of a 1984 Lamborghini Countach LP 5000S is on sale. This model was produced from 1982 to 1985, and only 321 cars came off the production line.

The Lamborghini Countach LP 5000S is powered by a 4.8 Liter V-12 naturally aspirated engine with 375 hp (280 kW) and 302 lb-ft (410 Nm) of torque. Power is transmitted to the rear wheels via a five-speed manual transmission. It reaches 60 mph in 5.6 seconds with a top speed of 186 mph (300 km / h).

Countach’s design obviously dates back to the 1970s and 1980s, but the color combination is certainly timeless. It is painted in Nero Tenebre black, while the interior is upholstered in Rosso red leather. Although 38 years old it has only 8979 miles (14,450 km) on the odometer.

It is equipped with independent front and rear suspension with coil springs, telescopic shock absorbers, 15-inch wheels wrapped in 205/50 VR-15 (front) and 345/35 VR-15 (rear) Pirelli P7 tires, girling ventilated discs.

The car sale was announced on the website dupontregistry.com, and the asking price is $ 745,000.

2024 Porsche 911 Cabriolet on the snowy roads of the north

As we announced earlier, Porsche is currently testing a new generation 911 Cabriolet on the snowy roads of northern Europe. Unlike last time, a slightly different test model has now been seen.

Rumor has it that the new 911 Cabriolet will be powered by a naturally aspirated 4.0-liter flat-six engine with an unknown number of horsepower. The current 911 Cabriolet is powered by a 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged flat-six with a power range from 380 hp to 473 hp.

Covered in camouflage, the front end brings slightly larger air intakes on the front bumper with vertical slats, like the one on the upcoming 911 Carrera. There are still unusual lights on the sides that we hope will only be used in testing. At the rear, the camouflage covers most of it, but slightly closer positioned exhaust pipes can be noticed, as well as a thinner LED light bar. It is mounted on wide Michelin tires.

The car is still in the early stages of testing which could last until the end of the year. According to some sources, the new generation 911 (992) Cabriolet will arrive on the market next year as the 2024 model.

Mercedes-Benz E-Class sedan available only in the new generation

If you want to order a Mercedes-Benz E-Class, you only have one month left, because from the end of March this option will not be available in Germany. The reason for this decision is the delay in the delivery of the semiconductors, which caused the extension of the waiting list. This does not apply to all models, because the caravan version will be offered by the middle of 2023.

Earlier, Daimler CEO Ola Kallenius hinted in an interview with the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, saying: “Demand is huge at Mercedes-Benz and at the same time there are unfortunately severe limitations. For some models the waiting times are longer than we would like, in some cases over a year. “

Mercedes-Benz is not giving up on the E-Class sedan, as for the end of this year Mercedes has announced the arrival of a new generation E-Class (W214), as a 2023 model. The sixth generation brings with it many improvements. Rumor has it that the CLE should come with it as a replacement for the E-Class Coupe and Convertible.

When it comes to powertrain, the new generation E-Class will use four-cylinder and six-cylinder engines. Rumor has it that the most powerful AMG E63 version will be powered by a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine combined with an electric motor.
