This summer's buying tips
On over 20 pages, experts are asked about this summer's 50 buying tips. Six exciting cars, from the Mini to the muscle car, take center stage and are thoroughly examined by the three experts, and this much can be revealed: they don't hold back with their opinions.
The builder of the last Ro 80
Heinrich Afflerbach is the name of the man who is the subject of this report. In 1985, eight years after production of the NSU Ro 80 was discontinued, he built the last example. It took three years before he had all the individual parts together and was able to start assembling it. In 1985, he invested not only his entire annual vacation, but also countless nights.
BMW's best engine
In 1987, BMW presented the first German post-war twelve-cylinder engine and thus secured its claim to leadership in engine construction. Auto Bild klassik takes a look back at the history of BMW's twelve-cylinder engine, which was much more versatile than was generally known. You can read more exciting details about this fascinating piece of technical history in this article.
How Porsche got a corporate design
The graphic designer Erich Strenger worked for Porsche from 1951 to 1988. During this time, he shaped and influenced Porsche's public image. Even today, almost 30 years after he left Porsche, his influence can still be felt. Auto Bild klassik reports on his impressive life's work, with many pictures and memories of his time at Porsche.
