Forget the car. Audi is more.

Nuevo Audi A8.
¿Te acuerdas de cuando lo más importante eran las cosas y no las ideas?
¿Cuando lo que contaba era controlar y no inspirar? ¿Te acuerdas de aquella época
en que los atascos te hacían perder tiempo y la tecnología lo hacía todo más complejo
en vez de conectarte con el mundo? ¿Cuando un coche era solo un coche?
¿Te acuerdas? Pues quizás este sea el momento de empezar a olvidarlo todo.

FORD FIESTA
1984 Ford Fiesta XR2

(text: Ford Motor Company / GD photos: Arnau Puig / Chronodriver)
The Ford Fiesta Mk2 appeared towards the end of summer 1983, with a revised front end and
interior; the most notable change involved the new wraparound headlights.[1] The engine

nes. The front track accordingly increased by 33 mm (the rear track remained as on the Mk1),
while the brakes and steering were also altered. At launch, the Mk2 Fiesta was only available

they now featured variable venturi carburettors for improved fuel consumption. The more
bulbous bonnet line of the Mk2 was created largely due to the need to package the taller Ford

Two other versions of the Mk2 Fiesta appeared in 1984; there was an updated XR2 model with
a 1.6–L version of the CVH engine: the second generation Fiesta XR2 model came with a larger
bodykit. It also featured a 96 bhp (72 kW) 1.6 L CVH engine as previously seen in the Ford Es-
