What’s New, What’s Next, and What’s Making Noise In Motoring!
Advanced Comfort
The Lotus Emeya introduces a fresh standard in how a Lotus drives and performs, combining decades of engineering expertise with the latest in modern technology. It’s an electric vehicle designed for precision, exhilaration, and stability.
Key features include active aerodynamics, such as an adjustable front grille, rear diffuser, and spoiler. These elements, alongside a low centre of gravity referred to as “hyperstance,” provide excellent balance and control, raising expectations in the GT category. Its electronically controlled air suspension adapts to road conditions 1,000 times per second, delivering a smoother and more stable experience. The top-tier dual motor setup achieves speeds over 155 mph and accelerates from 0-62 mph in under 2.8 seconds, placing the Emeya among the fastest electric GTs.
Built with sustainably sourced materials, it reflects a conscious effort to reduce environmental impact. A bespoke KEF sound system, including Dolby Atmos technology, ensures every occupant enjoys an enriched auditory experience. The Emeya represents Lotus’ evolving future in electric motoring.
Signature Details
The new Flying Spur combines Bentley’s hallmark craftsmanship with cutting-edge performance. Its High Performance Hybrid system and Active Chassis ensure swift progress without compromising comfort, making it second only to the Flying Spur Speed. Reaching 0-60 mph in just 3.8 seconds, it balances power with poise. A gloss black matrix grille, matt black bumper details, and oval bright chrome tailpipes give it a clean, assertive presence.
Inside, straight fluted seats, Bentley-embroidered headrests, and bright chrome switchgear reflect precise attention to detail.
The Flying Spur Azure builds on this with an emphasis on wellbeing. A black gloss grille with chrome vanes, Azure badging, and exclusive 22″ wheels set it apart. Wellness seating with massage, heating, and ventilation helps maintain comfort and alertness. Azure-embroidered headrests, mood lighting, and open-pore walnut trim add to a calm, refined experience.
Floral Tribute
The Rolls-Royce Phantom Cherry Blossom is a tribute to the fleeting beauty of Sakura season and the significance it holds in Japanese tradition. This one-of-one commission captures the essence of Hanami, the centuries-old custom of appreciating cherry blossoms, and transforms it into a work of art within the Phantom Extended.
The design was shaped by memories of springtime gatherings beneath the cherry trees, where the transience of the blossoms serves as a reminder to value each passing moment. That spirit is echoed throughout the interior, where over 250,000 stitches create the impression of sitting beneath
a flowering tree in full bloom.
The embroidery spans the Starlight Headliner, rear doors and the Privacy Suite partition, developed over six months by master artisans. Using offset
tatami stitching, the cherry branches intertwine with a sense of movement and depth. Sculptural
3D embroidery, used for the first time in a Rolls-Royce, adds a tactile element to the falling petals.
Subtle exterior touches extend the theme: the coachline incorporates a cherry blossom motif, while the Bespoke umbrellas reveal a petal
design inside.
Custom Colours
Maserati introduces a spring collection dedicated to the most vibrant colour combinations for the Grecale, reinforcing its commitment to customer-focused design. Inspired by bold aesthetics and Italian flair, the collection includes standout bodywork finishes such as Orange Devil, paired with black brake callipers and interiors in Sport Premium Ice/Black leather.
