    Wiesmann — Project Thunderball

    The race to electrify has intensified as the hard deadline of 2030 swiftly nears on the horizon – and I have to say I’m slowly warming to the idea.

    Car Diffuser — by Acqua di Parma + Poltrona Frau

    It’s hard to get excited by the car fragrance options on the marketplace. Just as your choice in fragrance is seen as an extension of self, so is your choice of car, and as such it comes as great surprise to me that there has been such a dearth of options in the car fragrance…

    DRIVEN | Ferrari Portofino x Portmeirion

    I’ve always had a distractingly vivid imagination, so as I was headed to test Ferrari’s latest convertible — the Ferrari Portofino — my mind needed no invitation to wander. I was instantly drawn to images of its namesake in Italy, as I slalomed with the roof-down through sepia hued mountains, drawing ever nearer to the…

    ICON | The Mini Remastered

    It’s rare that you see a genuinely brilliant pipedream plucked forth from the ether and brought into reality. “Imagine if you could drive a classic car with modern levels of performance.” It’s the sort concept car you would giddily hypothesise amongst friends, but never get to see. Well David Brown imagined and acted. On the…

    SUMMER 2016 | Maserati x Porto Cervo

    The idea that a brand can be translated into a location seems farfetched, but that truly was the case with Maserati, the place being Porto Cervo in Sardinia. Imagine a Monaco-esque escape, with the beauty of Ravello and the Island beaches of the Maldives, and you’re getting pretty close. It was here that Maserati decided…

    DRIVEN | Alfa Romeo 4C Spider

    Truth be told, I was unaware what to expect with the Alfa Romeo 4C – and don’t get me wrong, it was nothing against the brand. I myself have been an Alfa Romeo owner, on more than one occasion, and have fallen in love with ‘Italianess’ of the car; the expressive drives and the consistent…
