It is a characteristic of printed magazines that they are always ahead of their time. The January issue of Auto Bild klassik is now available at the magazine stand and the new issue already covers the year 2014.
2014 innovations in road tests
A whole series of cars will be celebrating their 30th birthday next year, including the Mercedes Benz W124, the Ferrari Testarossa, the Renault Espace, the Toyota Land Cruiser J7, the Saab 90 and the Lancia Thema. It was precisely these six cars that the Auto Bild editorial team took to task to see what the vehicles were worth as classic cars.
What's nice about this report is that in addition to the Ferrari, which of course many people like, a rare guest in magazines, the Renault Espace with a plastic body, also had its say.
Which Mustang is the coolest?
The new Mustang generation has just been launched and the model celebrates its 50th birthday in 2014. So it was only natural that Auto Bild klassik should ask which of them is the coolest.
And we were not afraid to drive a Mustang II from the 1970s and a third-generation Mustang from the 1990s in addition to the early convertible and the iconic Boss 302 from 1969. The expected conclusion then surprises with its quiet undertones.
Many other topics
As always, there is plenty of interesting reading on the 180 pages, be it when racing photographer Helmut Kranz opens up his archive, when the topic of cultural heritage is discussed on a Golf II or when the most beautiful reader photos are awarded prizes.
The new magazine is available at newsstands for Euro 4.20 (D), Euro 4.50 (Ö) or CHF 8.50.
