The Renault 4CV did participate in the 1950 24 Hours of Le Mans, but it was not a factory-backed effort. The car was entered by a privateer tearn, and driven by Leroy-Joseph. While they were not contenders for the overall victory, their reliable performance helped demonstrate the durability of the small car, 4CV`s have participated in all editions of the 24 Hours from 1949 1954. Go and check the car at the @autoworld_brussels exhibition Le Mans #Renault #Renault 4CV #lemans #autoworld

Did you notice that sweet Subaru 360 at the Subaru stand of the Autosalon 2023 in Brussels?
The Subaru 360 is a small car produced by the Japanese automaker Subaru from 1958 to 1971. It was the company`s first production car and was marketed as a "people`s car" due to its compact size and affordable price. The 360 featured a rear-mounted air-cooled two-stroke engine, which helped to keep the overall weight of the car low. It had a top speed of around 53 miles per hour and could achieve fuel economy of around 50 miles per gallon.
The car was available in several different body styles, including a two-door sedan, a two-door van, and a two-door wagon. Despite its small size, the 360 was able to seat four people comfortably and had a decent amount of cargo space.
The 360 was a popular choice in Japan and other Asian markets, but it was not as successful in the United States. This was partly due to the car`s small size and lack of power, as well as stricter emissions and safety regulations in the US. However, the 360 did gain a cult following and is now considered a collector`s item. #subaru #subaru360 #japan #classiccars #classiccar #oldtimer #twostroke

Did you notice the Cosmo on the Autosalon 2023 in Brussels? The first Mazda named Cosmo (1105 for export models) was (along with the NSU Ro80) one of the first production cars with a 2-rotor Wankel engine. A prototype was presented at the 1964 Tokyo Motor Show a month before the 1964 Summer Olympics, following the introduction of the NSU Spider at the Frankfurt Motor Show. 80 pre-production Cosmos models were produced for Mazda`s test facility (20) and dealer tests (60) between 1965 and 1966. Full production began in May 1967 and lasted until 1972, although only one Cosmos per day hand built. The Bi-rotor rotary engine contained 491 cc per rotor chamber and produced 110-130 hp. This made the car 185-200 km/h fast. The Cosmo series 1 was produced 1967 to 1972. 10A: 343 (May 1967-July 1968) L10B: 1,176 (July 1968- September 1972
The Cosmo Sport is the first Mazda with a rotary engine. As early as 1968, two of these sports cars were sent to Belgium to take part in the infamous Marathon de la Route. It started in Liège for an 84-hour battle on one of the most demanding circuits in the world: the Nürburgring. After 80 hours the Mazdas were running in fourth and fifth positions, until Katayama flew off the track. The `Belgian` car finished fourth and Mazda received the safety prize because Katayama emerged from the accident unscrathed thanks to the robustness of the car.

Yesterday we noticed this 1967 Alfa romeo 33 stradale on the Alfa Romeo booth on the Brussels Autosalon 2023
The Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale is an Italian sports car produced by Alfa Romeo between 1967 and 1969. Only 18 units of this car were ever built, making it one of the rarest and most valuable Alfa Romeos in existence. The 33 Stradale was designed by Franco Scaglione, who also designed the iconic Alfa Romeo BAT concept cars.
The car features a mid-engined layout and a lightweight aluminum body, which gives it a sleek and aerodynamic appearance. Powering the 33 Stradale is a 2.0-liter V8 engine that produces around 230 horsepower and 164 lb-ft of torque. This allows the car to reach a top speed of 160 mph and go from 0 to 60 mph in just 5.5 seconds.
The 33 Stradale`s handling and driving dynamics are considered to be among the best of its time, thanks to its advanced suspension system and lightweight construction. The car`s interior is also quite luxurious, with leather seats and high-end materials used throughout.
