Maserati’s Latest Model – Most Powerful GT – 550 Horsepower – Arrived to Hungary!

Posted by www.rollinginbudapest.com in Uncategorized. Tagged: , , , , , , , , .

The GranTurismo Trofeo and Modena are available for the domestic public with a delivery time of up to 3-4 months – we found out and could see them on the morning press presentation terrace at the Babel Restaurant in Budapest.

At the exclusive presentation event, in addition to the GranTurismo Trofeo, which is now debuting in our country, the MC20, chosen as the most beautiful supercar of 2021 at the Paris International Automobile Festival, and a truly rare 1975 Maserati Merak, offered by the Kaáli Auto-Motor Museum, were also been on the spot. At the event, after the greeting of the managing director of Sándor Mátrabérci – Wallis Motor, Béla F. Nagy, the business manager of Maserati, presented the most important parameters of the GranTourismo and the future ideas of the Stellantis automotive concern regarding the model. The new Maserati GranTurismo is a big shot with both gasoline and electricity 550 horsepower from gasoline, or 760 horsepower from electricity can be measured at the wheels. The specialist emphasized that the new GT combines the high performance typical of sports cars with comfort suitable for long journeys, with both in the versions equipped with a powerful internal combustion engine and in the most innovative model version equipped with 100% electric solutions.

The series of sporty touring coupes began 75 years ago with the Maserati A6, whose worthy successor, the GranTurismo, was presented by the Italian luxury car brand last October. Wallis Motor, the exclusive domestic distributor of the harpoon brand, brought one of Maserati’s newest models to Hungary just a few months after the world premiere.

Wallis Motor, the exclusive domestic distributor of the Maserati brand, presented the GranTurismo, which has been renewed in-and-out. The new touring coupe is equipped with the revolutionary V6 Nettuno engine and is currently available in two versions: the 490 hp Modena and the most powerful model variation ever, the 550 hp GT Trofeo. According to the promise of Wallis Motor, Maserati’s first 100% electric model, the 760 hp GT Folgore, will soon be available in Hungary.

At the press conference, we learned that four new GranTurismos have already been sold in Hungary. Two Trofeo top models and two Modenas also with the V6, only in a weaker form and with fewer carbon fiber elements. The electric Folgore, on the other hand, cannot be ordered for the time being, even though the price has been lowered to 93.5 million HUF (calculated with 380HUF/Euro) With 760 horsepower, this is the fastest version with a top speed of 325 km/h, and it is also the most unique in terms of technology. The Maserati promises delivery of the Modena and Trofeo within 3-4 months from the order.

Regarding the Hungarian prices, delivery times and order expectations, the Hungarian distributor Wallis Motor revealed that two Modena and two Trofeo have already found owners, the former starting at a gross starting price of 74,485,0000HUF, and the latter starting at 92,833,000HUF

The new coupe is equipped with the revolutionary V6 Nettuno engine, which is available in two versions: the Modena model version is equipped with the 490 hp, 3-liter V6 Nettuno Twin Turbo; and the top version Trofeo is equipped with 550 horsepower and an 8-speed automatic transmission. These two model versions are already available to fans here, and according to Wallis Maserati’s business manager, they have already ordered several copies of them, which will soon be handed over to their new owners.

It’s no secret that Maserati started the full development program with the MC20 so that the brand could gain new momentum now independent of Ferrari, exploiting its own considerable engineering capacity as the flagship of the Stellantis group. An MC20 and a Merak were also present at the premiere in Budapest, and the sight of both of them next to the blue GranTurismo Trofeo was truly overwhelming.

“Art After the Shoah” – Exhibition @ Ludwig Museum – Museum of Contemporary Art – Budapest.

Posted by www.rollinginbudapest.com in Uncategorized. Tagged: .

LURIE. BLAF01238_b

The exhibition Art after the Shoah brings together two artists who understood each other on both an artistic and human level in their efforts not to forget the injustice and crimes against the Jews. They first met at a Fluxus happening in Long Island in 1964, at a time when consumerism was unfolding and international relations were on the rise, where they mutually discovered each other through the radical, drastic and sometimes disturbing expression of their art.

Boris Lurie, born in Leningrad, immigrated with his family to Latvia in 1925, which the Nazis invaded in 1941 and killed all the women in his family, lived through several stays in concentration camps, but was finally able to emigrate to the USA with his father in 1946. Here he experienced his inner immigration, which, however, expressed itself for a few years in radical, mostly collage-like works and which motivated him to found NO!Art as a visible protest against superficiality and consumer maximization, which several artists joined. His friendship with Wolf Vostell, which began in 1964, is based on Vostell’s understanding and lifelong commitment to confronting the pogroms and, above all, often adopting the dress and habitus of Orthodox Jews himself in outward appearance. Unlike Lurie, however, the context of the post-1945 period with its current events was a great inspiration for Vostell, repeatedly relating them to Nazi crimes. Thus, works were created that – similar to Lurie – often used the collage technique as a field of association in order to illustrate the inner link between the death strip along the Berlin Wall and the Nazi extermination camps, or modern media technology with the propaganda machinery of Nazi rule. In his work, Vostell always sought to make visible the major political and social mechanisms that, despite the apparent “new times” and democratic consensus, were not so different from the workings of the Nazi regime.

Both artists thus reflected the dangerous delusion of a society through prosperity and upswing, to which – from their point of view – art also succumbed. The exhibition brings together these two important artists for the first time and focuses on the period between 1946 and 1998.

Curator: Prof. Dr. Beate REIFENSCHEID –  Director – Ludwig Museum – Koblenz , Assistant Curator: Jan ELANTKOWSKI – curator – Ludwig Múzeum – Budapest, Consultant: Rafael VOSTELL – Director – The Wolf Vostell Estate – Berlin & Senior Advisor – Boris Lurie Art Foundation – New York .

The exhibition is a collaboration between the Boris Lurie Foundation, the Wolf Vostell Estate, and the Kunstmuseum Den Haag. The exhibition was shown at the Kunstmuseum Den Haag, the Kunsthaus Dahlem and the Ludwig Museum Koblenz.

JÁVORI FEGYA’S MUSICAL FOR THE FIRST TIME IN BUDAPEST!
Friday, April 14, 7 p.m. and Friday, May 12, 7 p.m. @ RaM-ArT Theater – Budapest
Director: Gábor Miklós Kerényi KERO
Main actors: Tünde Frankó , P. Szilveszter Szabó & Máté Miklós Kerényi

The story begins somewhere where Fiddler on the Roof ends, and tells the story of Levi (Lőb) Strauss‘ adventurous life, career, and the birth of jeans.

The “Lévi Story!” musical inspired by the life of the denim king Levi Strauss and the American emigration wave. The “invention” of Levi’s trousers is brought to life under the direction of Gábor Miklós Kerényi and performed by stars actors. In the performance, beautiful melodies, heart-pumping rhythms, and heartfelt klezmer music captivate the audience. The story about the invention of blue jeans tells about exciting adventures, serious social problems and a beautiful love. The performance is a production of the Pesti Broadway Foundation.

The background of the creation of the production: Gábor Kerényi Miklós KERO – director of the play, has been planning to present the play for almost nine years. As said: Q.: “This production was not given the slogan ‘world success musical’ for nothing, as we couldn’t find a more well-known piece of clothing than jeans. I hope that the show will go abroad, to Israel and America.”

Kossuth Prize-winning composer Ferenc Jávori “Fegya” commented on the production told Q.: “The story is so strong that this performance could stand on any stage in the world.” He did not deviate from the musical style that has become the trademark of the Budapest Klezmer Band … the musical has country music, Munich beer songs, as well as to be modern musical.

The witty lyrics by Péter Sziámi Müller well-constructed story between spectacular sets and costumes evoke the market of a small German town, a street in New York, a terrifying boat trip near Cape Magellan, and a gold diggers’ tavern in the mountains around San Francisco.

The actors are supported by a dynamic singer-dancer ensemble, with the participation of a seven-piece, typical klezmer band.
