    DESIGN | The Rolls-Royce Champagne Chest

    The “problem” with being a brand like Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, is that everyone expects everything you make to be the best. The standard isn’t even comparable against what is, but also what could be; not “is it better than…” and more “is it that much better than…”. A good problem to have in some respects.…

    DRIVEN | DS3 Crossback

    What’s in a name? That’s the question facing DS Automobiles as they embark on a new story having launched as an all new automotive brand in 2015. The name will be familiar to many, having been associated with the Citroën marque for the very popular DS 3 model, and it is perhaps that success that…

    DRIVEN | BMW Z4 M40i 2019

    The idea that there is “a” perfect car for you is nought but fallacy—but you can get pretty close. It’s not a simple case of brand, style, or even design, but the “where” and “why” you drive that make your perfect choice of car all the more elusive. For example, picture arriving at that idyllic…

    A Triumph in Design

    Over the past decade, Triumph has grown from a humble British motorcycle manufacturer to a genuine industry giant that produces in the range of 65,000 motorcycles per year, and it’s partly thanks to its impressive collection of retro-inspired motorcycles.

    Courchevel 1850 x Rolls-Royce

    The truth is I’m not a big fan of skiing. My reason? I can’t ski. It’s not that I have an aversion to trying new things, but a serious knee surgery and a love for sport has persuaded me that it’s one risk not worth taking—at least not yet. After all I love being up…

    SPORT SERIES | The McLaren 600LT

    When McLaren launched their McLaren Automotive department in 2010, no-one would have anticipated that the performance of this division would take the shining light away from their prestigious, and multiply lauded Race division. But as the years go by the plaudits off-track are now superseding those on-track, as their roadcars exceed demand and expectation with…

  • The Glory of Goodwood

    The Glory of Goodwood

    I think people struggle to encapsulate Goodwood because it is a microcosm of the best of Britishness and that in itself is an entity that transcends words. Goodwood is so much more than a venue for world-renowned events. It is the physical manifestation of unbridled joy – of a lifestyle we toil for and aspire…

    PERPETUAL LUXURY | ROLLS-ROYCE Cullinan

    When you think of Rolls-Royce, the notion of luxury without peer is what instantly comes to mind, and as such it came as some surprise that the brand has an esteemed history in military off-road vehicles; a legacy of endurance, in especially arduous conditions, during especially dangerous times, as an excerpt from ‘The Tank Corps…

    GOODWOOD | Ghost on a track

    For those of you familiar with Chichester, you’ve probably heard of it for two glorious reasons; the eponymous Goodwood circuit, and for being the home of luxury automotive legacy that is Rolls-Royce Motor Cars. These two brands are kindred spirits; linchpins in their respective ways and brands to which modern and vintage motoring owes so…

    CULLINAN | The new Rolls-Royce SUV

    “Take the best that exists and make it better”, a poignant motto and one from Rolls-Royce Cars founder Sir Henry Royce; little could he have envisaged what was to ensue in the following century of automotive brilliance.

    Redefined | The Rolls-Royce Phantom 8

    Reinventing a classic is more about respecting traditions and innovating with time, rather than changing unnecessarily. True to this idea Rolls-Royce have elevated the eighth edition of the Phantom to profound new heights. At the centre of this remodeled edition are subtle inclusions that pay homage to the ethos of both the manufacturer and the…

    Aston Martin x Hogan

    Collaborations between lifestyle and fashion brands are very much representative of the desire to have items that work simultaneously into our stylistic lives but also our living environment. Today’s engagement centric sphere has shown that there is an ever increasingly blurred line to these previously divided environments. With that, the partnership with Aston Martin and…
