The new Golf Cabriolet from Volkswagen

The new Golf Cabriolet has striking front end which provides more than just a hint of sportiness. A glance at the headlights and turn indicators under the same clear-glass cover and the door mirrors with integrated turn signals give an indication of the dynamic character of the new Golf Cabriolet. The same is true of the streamlined silhouette, which the stylish, fully automatic fabric hood blends into perfectly. The decorative hood trim strip in chrome rounds off the overall sporty picture.
It takes less than ten seconds for the fully automatic, electro-hydraulic fabric hood on the new Golf Cabriolet to open – and for you to savour the ultimate cabriolet driving experience. The hood is opened simply and fully automatically at the touch of a button, at a speed of up to 30 km/h. The wind deflector reduces annoying wind noise during the journey and at the same time protects you from unpleasant draughts around the neck.

Super Sports Car - The Veyron

The design of the Veyron honors a great heritage without drifting off into retro style. Every detail of the classic two-tone color scheme, a quote from the 1920s and 1930s, has been carefully thought out, resulting in the typical Bugatti profile with the classic, contrasting ellipsis – the stylistic element used by Ettore Bugatti himself. The “crest line”, which runs uninterrupted from the hood to the only 1.21-m-high roof, is a proud homage to the Veyron’s forebears. Thus, the Veyron’s classic paintwork and harmonious design connect this state-of-the-art super sports car to the glorious heritage of Bugatti automobiles.

Model Car - Bugatti Royale Coupe de Ville 1930

This preassembled, die-cast model is a milestone in model manufacture. This 1:18 scale model reconstruction of the legendary Bugatti Royale Type 41 Coupe de Ville is made up of more than 1,300 individual parts, and is a masterpiece of craftsmanship. 18 different materials went into the making of this model, and all parts were assembled piece-by-piece by loving handwork. The die-cast metal body can be removed from the chassis with just a few manipulations, giving you a unique view of a scaled version of the nearly 1.5 meter long original engine. The 1.85 kg weight is exceptional for a 1:18 scale model – as was the deadweight of the original car, which weighed more than 3,000 kg. The model comes with a highquality wooden base and mirror.
Price : 499,00 Euro ( inclusive of VAT)
