Spotlight Review Details

Rolls Royce

Phantom Platino

You can’t talk about luxury cars without mentioning Rolls Royce and the Phantom is certainly an aspirational vehicle. In fact, Rolls Royce believe it is the best car in the world!

Now well into its eighth generation, the Phantom is a car that is always evolving, adapting to meet the demands of a modern market. The latest iteration, Phantom Series II, is a result of client requests and feedback, with finely tuned aesthetics and engineering. This car even has its own app, accessible to members only, which is integrated throughout the technological system.

The Phantom was first created in 2017. It has been so successful, exuding that timeless elegance that is still the brand’s pinnacle product. The design is so revered, in fact, that most of the client’s requests have been that there should be no changes to the vehicle! So, you’ll find tweaks here and there, but they do nothing but enhance the Rolls Royce experience.

The side profile is a signature characteristic of Rolls Royce, with its short front, long rear overhang, long wheelbase and broad c-pillar. The wheels are new - 3D, milled, stainless steel with triangular facets, they can be fully or part-polished, depending on your preference. Or, if you prefer the 1920s style, you might choose the disc wheel in stainless steel or black lacquer.

You know you’ve made it when you own a Rolls Royce, and the Phantom Platino is the ultimate expression of success.

Ferrari

Purosangue

Can you believe Ferrari have never made a car for more than two people? Until now! Imagine being able to enjoy that supercar design with more spectators. With its naturally aspirated V12 engine pushing out 725CV, Ferrari looks set to take over a whole new market with this luxury design.

But this is not like other 4x4s. Rather than having an engine pushed far forward in the car, the Purosangue has its engine mid-front mounted, with the gearbox at the back. This helps to achieve the kind of driving dynamics you’d expect from Ferrari, while the aerodynamic shape looks incredible and helps this car to fly down the road. 

There’s four-wheel steering, an active suspension system and a carbon fibre roof, making this an incredibly lightweight design. Of course, the seats are heated and the driver enjoys a position close to the ground. The size of the boot is something you might not expect though, with the back seats folding down to maximise storage even more. On a more decadent note, there are massagers in the front seats and an air quality sensor on the inside and the outside of the car. There are even rearward opening “welcome doors” that add a nice touch.

When you think luxury, you automatically think of Ferrari, but this is more practical than your average offering from the prancing horse brand. It straddles the line between road car and race car perfectly.

Bugatti

Tourbillion

Representing a new era for BUGATTI, TOURBILLION is the first hybrid model from the brand, intending to push the boundaries of possibility for the hyper sports car.

The design is inspired by BUGATTI greats of the past, bringing a timeless elegance and sophistication to the look. It is powered by a 1000HP naturally aspirated V16 engine, complemented by three electric motors providing an additional 800hp, which makes it - together with an aerodynamic shape - a joy to drive.

The look is sharp, angular, enhanced by LED lighting and the iconic ‘eight-eye’ identity. A single taillight protrudes from below, sending out hot air in a super stylish way. And every single component has been designed with aesthetics in mind, from the obvious parts, to things like the frame, engine and structure – it’s a real work of art.

Its performance can be attributed in part to its lightweight structure, created using 3D printed materials and structures. And when you take your seat in the driver’s position, you’ll get instant racecar vibes, with your legs stretched out in front of you low to the ground.

Revealed in Molsheim in June, the launch was the most-viewed in history, with car enthusiasts desperate to see what BUGATTI was about to unveil. Turns out, BUGATTI’s most powerful car ever created was worth the watch!/

Lamborghini

Revuelto

It’s rare to find a Lamborghini that falls below our discerning luxury tastes, but the Revuelto exceeds our greatest expectations. It’s not the newest model in the range, but as their high-performance electrified car flagship model, it is a design that will continue to impress for many years to come.

With its naturally-aspirated V12 engine combined with eight-speed, double-clutch transverse gearbox and three electric motors, this will whizz right off your driveway, while 13 drive modes mean you’ll never get bored while driving this monster.

Crafted from carbon fibre and other lightweight materials, this car will feel as though its floating above the road, while its top speed is more than 217m/h. Meanwhile the iconic y-shape of the car brings something extra to your driving experience – forget feeling like a racing driver, you’ll feel like a pilot!

There are endless possibilities for personalisation in this car, so that every model is almost completely unique to the driver. And at the same time, the company is working to improve their sustainability measures, reducing waste and executing hand-made sections with excellence.

And to cement this design in the modern era, there’s an incredible infotainment system and technological elements throughout your drive. Amazon Alexa will keep you company on longer drives and you can monitor your car’s status from your smart device even when you’re not inside it, checking things like fuel level, battery charge, electric range and even where it is parked.

Could a Lamborghini be your next car?

 

Jaguar

Type 00

The latest Jaguar model was introduced to the world in a flurry of fearless pink advertising. The brand is taking its identity back to its roots, claiming to “copy nothing”, while making a statement with incredible design that is certainly unique!

With a sweeping bonnet and roofline, a fastback profile and 23-inch alloy wheels, this car has a silhouette you’ll recognise a mile off. Details include a glassless rear tailgate and a panoramic roof for luxury touches that matter.

And you won’t have seen a more modern interior anywhere else. With butterfly doors and ‘pantograph’ tailgate, you’ll find bold brass accents, travertine stone finishes and floating seats and instrument panels that offer a futuristic feeling. This is beautifully complemented by woolen textiles and a neutral colour palette, giving the interior a very expensive aesthetic.

And they’ve integrated technology in a very clever way too. Technology is included to enhance the experience, rather than rule it. Screens glide silently in and out of place and you’ll never have to look around for your rearview mirror – the Clearsight display gives you better visibility from all angles.

Expect ambient lighting, bespoke scents and textured design for a car that delights all your senses.

This car was released at Miami Art Week, making it a fashion statement, as much as a functional vehicle. But it’s not all about looks. This is an electric vehicle that lasts longer than the latest trends, with a maximum range of 770km. It is set to be released in 2026 – will your name be on the waiting list?

Porsche

911 Turbo 50 Years

Can you believe it’s been 50 years since the world’s most iconic car was first released? Despite its age, the Porsche 911 is still one of the most sought-after cars on the road, renowned for its timeless elegance and outstanding performance. If the Jaguar is too flashy for you, then the 911 is the perfect antidote – there’s never been a cooler car!

The 911 was always a desirable car, thanks to its turbo technology, previously an exclusive component of racecars, rather than road cars. Of course, this most recent evolution of the 911 has been updated to ensure it remains at the forefront of today’s automobile market, but there are some heritage touches that may prove far too irresistible to anyone who knows their stuff about cars.

The first Porsche 911 was released in 1974, so the 50 Years anniversary model has been produced in a batch of just 1,974 cars, making this a limited-edition vehicle everyone will want to get their hands on. The design is based on the latest version of the 911 but with a livery that will evoke nostalgia, as the one present on the original 911 when it was first displayed at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 1973.

There are fun touches, like an LED projector on the door that projects the image of a turbocharger onto the ground next to the car when opened. Of course, you’ll find McKenzie tartan accents inside the car, contrasted with heritage Turbonite on the seat belts, controls and decorative stitching. And then there’s the important stuff, like a 3.7 litre box engine with variable turbine geometry (VTG) twin turbocharging and eight-speed dual-clutch transmission. Everything about this car has been expertly engineered to be a joy to drive.
