from Texas to Le Mans … watch out the Masterpiece!
With the AC Cobra we get into the very closed circle of the genuine automobile legends, the cars who made History. Shaped for and by motor racing, its performances are still quite comparable to the best today supercars’ ones, but with an infinitely superior glamour…
… because the AC Cobra is not only another “extreme” car among the others. It’s a winner, who came out of nowhere to steal from Ferrari the Le Mans trophy in its own garden, thanks to the great Henry Ford’s will and the uninhibited and “so Texan” genius of Caroll Shelby.
In our boring rationalized cars era, the AC Cobra is a tremendous “sensation factory”, when it idles the Ford V8 gurgling makes all the heads turn, a snap on the throttle catapults you in a thunder noise. More than 350 Bhp on the rear wheels, around 900 kilos, an ultra direct steering, BF goodrich tires, quick shift gear lever, side pipes, the AC Cobra is a formidable machine made to accelerate, to drive, to win!
It’s the perfect car for a week-end or a week across Italy, between seasides’ small roads and highway to finish quickly the step. You will also be able to cruise down the Croisette in Cannes or drive around the Casino plaza in Monaco, everywhere it is the most beautiful, the most desirable and above all… The strongest!
a “Beautiful American” on the French Riviera …
The Ford Mustang is the pure Americain Dream ! Everything is here, the V8 289 rumble, the auto trans, the chromes, the “Tulip” steering-wheel and the “Jet” instruments. She is the Queen of “Pony cars”, the perfect vessel for “cruising” on the Riviera … To the sound of Rock’n Roll !!!
Today driving a Mustang on the French Riviera it’s getting back in touch with the sixties movie stars who didn’t hesitate to have their Mustang shipped from the US for the Cannes Film Festival ! Driving down the Croisette in a Mustang is definitely “in sync”, it’s never too late to make its own “cinema” !!! The Mustang is also perfect for every “special occasion”, stag night, birthday, and of course wedding … It will easily welcome the creaziest dresses on its vast rear seat!!!
But renting our Mustang it’s also quite simply having for a week-end, or for a week or two holidays, a real 4 seaters convertible, powerful, ultra reliable, easy to drive, and which will take you everywhere in an absolute comfort, all getting “thumbs up” along the way as well as congratulations from numerous enthusiasts … Everywhere it goes the Mustang creates a real “sensation” …
… a fighter jet on wheels!!!
Our Corvette C1 V8 is like a fighter jet on wheels… its windscreen is like that of a fighter jet’s cockpit, its exhaust pipes set in the rear bumper are reminiscent of reactor pipes – 1950’s America was proud of its “Air Force”! But the C1 is also a formidable sports coupe with lots of torque and is very spacious… for a pilot as well as a co-pilot!
The heart of our Corvette C1 ’59 is of course the smooth and powerful “283CI” V8 engine delivering phenomenal torque already from the lowest RPM… of course this is no reason to fly down the hairpin turns of the Turini pass in order to set the pace… The Corvette is first and foremost an ultra-comfortable “cruiser” to be enjoyed on a light throttle with the 8 cylinder “glug glug” sound of the engine in the background…
Above all, the Corvette is spectacular, an ode to the “design of the automobile” and a reminder of the era of permanent “restyling” from the Detroit manufacturer, each detail is worth its weight in chrome!!!! From every angle this classic is superb. Whether it’s for a weekend getaway, a wedding or a photoshoot… this beauty will eye-catchingly mark the film roll…
