The June issue of Auto Bild klassik covers topics such as the new desire for estate cars with a wide variety of classics that make life more relaxed. In addition, four Gran Turismo cars with the WOW factor undergo a comparison test and you can find out the true story of Steve McQueen.
Invitation to a space ride
Stuffy is the new cool? Not at all! The Citroën BX Break, Oldsmobile Cutlass, Mercedes-Benz 280 TE AMG, Alfa Romeo Giulia Giardinetta, Bentley MK VI Countryman and Volvo 240 station wagon are a match for many other classics. Want to bet?
Large Grand Turismo cars have always belonged to the technical avant-garde, including the Citroën SM, the Bitter Diplomat, the Jensen Interceptor III and the Jaguar E-Type 2+2. Auto Bild klassik compares the four cars in which individualism was a decisive design feature.
"For me, cars are life"
Where are the next generation of mechanics? Here: Ingrid Fuchshofer is young, has restored her Peugeot from the ground up and is proud of it. But that's not all. The connection between her and her car has a second, deeper level.
50 years ago, the Honda S800 began to make the German car industry more Japanese. To mark the anniversary, Auto Bild klassik drives along a road where Japan is very, very German.
The racing Porsche is still here!
Brösel on a Horex, Holgi in a Porsche 911 T, the big race - in the 80s Werner was KULT, KULT, KULT. The truth is that almost everything about it is true.
Historic Maserati cars have become drastically more expensive in recent years. Only a few youngtimers and neo-classics from the three-pronged brand have not yet been affected by the price hike.
Beetle for beginners
A dilapidated Beetle, little money, colleagues with rather theoretical knowledge - but a great desire for a proper restoration, can this mixture become a gem again? You bet! A few colleagues from Auto Bild and Auto Bild klassik took on a miami blue VW 1200 from 1975. In the end, they were amazed at the result - and at themselves.
Have you heard and read everything about Steve McQueen? No. There are still sides of the superstar that nobody knows. His friend and colleague Siegfried Rauch experienced them on the film set of "Le Mans" in 1970.
