Celebrating 60 YEARS OF MAJORETTE – FEATURETTE
Majorette turns 60! Majorette has been inspiring collectors and car enthusiasts for six decades, and of course I count myself among them! The new vehicle lines, which were developed explicitly for the anniversary celebrations, focus on the history and origins of Majorette and are all adorned with the 60 years anniversary logo. In addition, all packaging is generally marked accordingly and designed in dark red and gold. The focus is also on successful partnerships and innovations that have led the brand to success. These include, for example, the partnership with Porsche, where Majorette has always been busy bringing models, 911-style storage boxes and Porsche garages to the market. The 60th…

Ultimate Hypercar by TPC: Mercedes-AMG ONE – FEATURETTE
The Mercedes-AMG ONE… …is an automotive superhero that holds lap records on legendary circuits such as the NΓΌrburgring and Monza. It also became famous as the cover car for the video game “Forza Horizon 5”. The company never released an exact figure, but the price was reportedly between 2 and 3 million Euros.

Tarmacworks Alfa Romeo Giulia QV GTA / GTAm FEATURETTE
500 pieces? No problem! Alfa Romeo presented the Giulia as the GTA and GTAm in mid-2020. This means fewer kilos and more horsepower than the basic Quadrifoglio version. However, not for too many customers – and at enormous prices. Fortunately, the price of the Tarmacworks model is better. The limitation of 500 units also only plays a role in the real vehicle; the models look a little better. With the emphasis on “a bit”, because the first releases in the red car colour went like hot cakes. Now Tamacworks has launched the Montreal Green colour for the GTAm and the Formula 1 special edition for the GTA, more about that…

NEED FOR SPEED – Legends of the past – FEATURETTE
Petrol in the blood since 1994… There’s simply no getting around the name Need for Speed, probably everyone has heard of it if they’re into cars. Need For Speed, or NFS for short, has made a name for itself in the virtual world since 1994. More than 24 titles have been released in the meantime, each telling its own story. Some games were a complete disaster, others have secured themselves a permanent place in the Olympus of the gaming world. These include, at least as far as we are concerned, the games called Need For Speed Underground, Underground 2, Most Wanted and Carbon. They were released after the turn of…

THE WORLD of WATARU KATO – LIBERTYWALK FEATURETTE
More than just a brand, its a lifestyle… Recently, you often come across the terms “Rocket Bunny”, “Rauh-Welt” or “Liberty Walk”. The terms “Rocket Bunny”, “Rauh-Welt” or “Liberty Walk” simply refer to manufacturers of Japanese body kits, don’t they? Their characteristic style is currently a trend, especially overseas, and involves extreme wide bodies. So-called “bolt-on overfenders” are used here. This roughly translates as “riveted-on mudguard attachments”. However, they are now so much more than ordinary handicrafts designed to last a few years. Rocket Bunny, Rauh-Welt or Liberty Walk have all made a name for themselves in the car scene, even far beyond! Whether positive or negative is up to you!…
