Car industry: Car luxury and horsepower ostentation no longer fit in this era
The Mercedes CEO has officially abolished the term "luxury," and everyone has been trying to become more sustainable for years anyway. Nevertheless, summer nights roar with the roar of the posers' engines. How does all this fit together?
Anyone who wants to understand how luxury came to Castrop-Rauxel could recently hear it around a parking lot in this Ruhr region town. Roaring engines, dangerously squealing brakes, the whole package. Or on Good Friday in Herten-Süd, a day known in the scene as "Car Friday." Incidentally, Herten is also a Ruhrpott town that stands for a lot, but certainly not for excessive luxury. But as in Castrop and Herten, it's now the case almost everywhere in the country: Luxury usually descends upon the towns on Saturday evenings, creeping up slowly, howling, whining, and then speeding off. Hundreds of so-called posers in high-powered, highly luxurious sports cars on the Dortmunder Wall, car races on the Mittlerer Ring in Munich, Berlin's Ku'damm, and on the Cologne Ring.
