2002 Buick Rendezvous Versatrak CXL 1:24 Maisto
The Buick Rendezvous is a mid-size crossover SUV that was sold by Buick for the 2002–2007 model years. Introduced in the spring of 2001, the Buick Rendezvous and its corporate cousin, the Pontiac Aztek, were GM's first entries into the crossover SUV segment. The Rendezvous featured a four-speed automatic transmission with a V6 engine and optional all-wheel-drive (Versatrak). The SUV used the same platform as GM's short-wheelbase minivans, the Chevrolet Venture and Pontiac Montana. The Rendezvous provided a passenger- and load-carrying capacity not seen in the Buick lineup since the discontinuation of the Buick Roadmaster Estate station wagon in 1996.
It was Buick's first truck in its lineup since 1923, and the Rendezvous was billed as a combination of the best attributes of a minivan (large cargo capacity, seating for up to seven), a luxury automobile (ride, handling, smoothness) and a sport utility vehicle (truck styling and available all wheel drive).
The Rendezvous was produced at General Motors' Ramos Arizpe, Mexico assembly plant, where it shared an assembly line with the Pontiac Aztek. Like the Pontiac Aztek, the Buick Rendezvous is based on a shortened version of GM's second generation U platform minivans. In lieu of four-wheel drive, the Rendezvous offered Versatrak, a full-time, fully automatic all-wheel drive system which provided sure-footed traction in inclement weather and could handle moderate off-road surfaces.
Buick benchmarked their Park Avenue sedan as the prototypical target for ride and handling for the Rendezvous. In order to provide a luxurious and responsive car-like ride, all Rendezvous came equipped with a fully independent rear suspension system regardless of optional content or trim level.

1986 F1 McLaren MP4/2 Shell Alain Prost BOSS Burago 1:24
El McLaren MP4/2 fue un monoplaza de Fórmula 1 diseñado por John Barnard que fue usado por el equipo McLaren para la temporada 1984. Una iteración del mismo, el MP4/2B, se usó en la temporada de 1985, y una versión ligeramente actualizada, el MP4/2C, que corrió en la temporada de 1986. Se basaba estrechamente en el modelo MP4/1E que se utilizó como vehículo de prueba, utilizado en las carreras finales de 1983.
El MP4/2 se mantuvo prácticamente sin cambios en 1986, con la exclusión de algunos ajustes en la aerodinámica que lo apodaron el MP4/2C. A Prost se unió al finlandés Keke Rosberg, campeón del mundo en 1982 cuando conducía para Williams. Sin embargo, su tarea se hizo difícil debido a la negativa de John Barnard antes de mitad de temporada para permitirle cambiar la puesta a punto. Fue solo después de que Rosberg anunció su retiro de Fórmula 1 antes del Gran Premio de Alemania en Hockenheim, la única carrera del año en la que Rosberg se clasificó en la pole position. Un problema de Keke con el monoplaza, aparte de su pesado pie derecho que lo dejó sin combustible en algunas carreras tempranas de la temporada, fue que Barnard había diseñado originalmente el coche para adaptarse a los estilos de conducción más suaves de Prost y Lauda. Antes de que Barnard cediera a la configuración, el finlandés fue superado por su compañero de equipo y, cuando pudo configurar el MP4/2C a su gusto, el campeonato se perdió para él.

1987 Mercedes 190 E Burago 1:25 Made In Italy
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
The Mercedes-Benz W201 was the internal designation for the Mercedes 190 series sedans, a range of front-engine, rear drive, five passenger, four-door sedans manufactured over a single generation, from 1982 to 1993 as the company's first compact class automobile.
Designed by Bruno Sacco, head of styling at Mercedes-Benz from 1975 to 1999, the W201 debuted at the 1982 Paris Motor show. Manufactured in both Bremen and Sindelfingen, Germany, production reached 1,879,629 over its eleven-year model life.
The W201 introduced a 5-link rear suspension subsequently used in E and C class models, front and rear anti-roll bars, anti-dive and anti-squat geometry—as well as airbags, ABS brakes and seatbelt pretensioners. Its extensive use of light-weight high-strength steel enabled it to withstand a concrete barrier offset crash at 35 mph (56 km/h) without serious passenger injury or cabin deformation.
Mercedes introduced a performance variant, marketed as the 190 E 2.3-16V, at the 1983 Frankfurt Motor Show.

1976 Porsche 911 Burago 1:24 Italia
Porsche 911 Carrera RSRs at Sebring 1976
The #61 car was entered by Brumos Porsche and driven to a 8th place finish by Jim Busby and Carl Shafer. The #58 car was entered by Diego Febles Racing and driven to a 5th place finish by Diego Febles and Hiram Cruz.
The Porsche 911 (pronounced Nine Eleven or in German: Neunelf) is a two-door 2+2 high performance rear-engined sports car introduced in September 1964 by Porsche AG of Stuttgart, Germany. It has a rear-mounted flat-six engine and originally a torsion bar suspension. The car has been continuously enhanced through the years but the basic concept has remained unchanged. The engines were air-cooled until the introduction of the 996 series in 1998.
The 911 has been raced extensively by private and factory teams, in a variety of classes. It is among the most successful competition cars. In the mid-1970s, the naturally aspirated 911 Carrera RSR won world championship races including Targa Florio and the 24 Hours of Daytona. The 911-derived 935 turbo also won the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1979. Porsche won the World Championship for Makes in 1976, 1977, 1978, and 1979 with 911-derived models.
In a 1999 poll to determine the Car of the Century, the 911 was fifth. It is one of two in the top five that had remained continuously in production (the original Beetle remained in production until 2003). The one millionth example was manufactured in May 2017 and is in the company's permanent collection.
