Which coupés would you name if you were asked to name the most beautiful cars of the sixties? Porsche 901, Mercedes Benz 250 SE, VW Karmann-Ghia 1600, Shelby Cobra GT500, Fiat 850 Sport, Mazda Cosmo Sport? Perhaps not, but these cars are certainly interesting. But they are not comparable. And that's why the makers of Auto Bild klassiker have come up with another selection, including the Glas 1300 GT, the Dodge Charger, the Nissan Silvia CSP311 and the Isuzu 117.
The citizen kings of the 80s
A title to fall in love with. This is the comparative test of the mid-size class of the eighties. Can the Mazda 929L, Fiat 132, Peugeot 505 or Saab 900 give the top dog Mercedes Benz 200 (W123) a run for its money?
This much can be revealed. The result is much closer than expected and second place is likely to surprise some people.
Magician with pencil
Paul Bracq has helped design some of the most important and beautiful cars of the past century. Want some examples? BMW Turbo Studie (forerunner of the M1), Mercedes Benz 230-280 SL (R113, Pagoda), BMW 6-series Coupé, and many more. It's exciting to know what the man has to say today.
Cheap Porsche driving
Many people would like to drive a Porsche, but few can afford it. But maybe the budget is enough? 9600 euros for a natural gas Porsche 944 S2 or 9800 euros for an early Porsche Boxster could make it easier to get started. But is that a good idea? The article has some advice.
And then there was ...
The company car Opel Monza 3.0 E was repainted and the editors remember the long-distance drive undertaken by daring men like Fritz B. Busch in one of the first VW Golfs with many pictures.
Also of interest is the article on western cars in the former GDR and the report on the demonstration drive in the BMW 328 Touring, which Bernd Wieland was allowed to take part in.
And the rest of the 180 pages offer many more curiosities and pearls of knowledge ....
