Kann mir jemand sagen, warum diese Vectron drei Pantografen anstelle von vier hat?

Ich habe in den letzten Tagen eine Siemens Vectron (7193 016) im Besitz von Akiem am Nürnberger Hbf stehen sehen. Dabei ist mir aufgefallen, dass sie über drei Pantografen verfügt. Ich war bisher der Meinung, dass Mehrsystemlokomotiven üblicherweise vier Pantografen besitzen – ein Paar für jedes Stromsystem. Daher hat mich diese Konfiguration neugierig gemacht. Gibt es einen bestimmten Grund, warum ausgerechnet diese Vectron nur mit drei Pantografen ausgestattet ist?

1938 Bugatti Type 57S Atlantic Coupé is in Munich...

This morning, I stumbled upon a piece of news that instantly changed my plans for the day: the legendary 1938 Bugatti Type 57S(+C) Atlantic Coupé Chassis No. 57591 was in Munich. The moment I read it, everything else became irrelevant.

​

Without a second thought, I dropped whatever I was doing, and set off from Erlangen toward Motorworld München. Knowing that the local Bugatti dealer was based there.

​

Hours later, I finally arrived at Motorworld. I walked through the halls, filled with excitement and there it was.

​

For a moment, I simply stood still.

​

Standing just a few feet away from a machine that had survived nearly nine decades of history was surreal.

​

What a beauty!

Will HotWheels release a new HWA EVO.R casting?

Many of us may have noticed the HotWheels logo on the HWA EVO.R #62 and #63 cars that recently competed in the 24h Nürburgring 2026. Hot Wheels is already a familiar sponsor in major American motorsport series such as NHRA and NASCAR, but seeing the logo at the world-famous Nürburgring felt quite special.

As far as I understand, the HWA EVO.R is not simply a Mercedes-Benz 190E Evo II with a new body kit. Apart from the Mercedes-Benz M276 V6 powerplant and its obvious visual connection to the original Evo II, the car is very much an HWA-built reinterpretation. Because of that, I do not think HotWheels would simply apply an HWA livery to the existing DWH66 casting and call it done.

So, could the HotWheels sponsorship on the HWA EVO.R be a hint that we might see a dedicated HWA EVO.R casting in the near future? It would certainly be an exciting addition for both HotWheels collectors and motorsport fans.
