]]> DEFENDER OCTA BLACK: THE ROCK STAR OF LUXURY 4X4s MADE IN THE UK https://canada.amilcarmagazine.com/defender-octa-black-the-rock-star-of-luxury-4x4s-made-in-the-uk/ Tue, 06 Jan 2026 18:37:45 +0000 https://mens.amilcarmagazine.com/?p=936621

Defender OCTA Black: Rugged luxury

A real rock star

The Defender OCTA, the master of extreme performance on and off-road, now has an even bolder counterpart : The Defender OCTA Black.

With an all-black aesthetic for high performance, the hero of the 4x4s gives the most powerful and luxurious model in the Defender family an even stronger presence and more assertive luxury.

A sign of this transformation: no fewer than 30 exterior elements feature black finishes. The colour of the Defender OCTA Black is Narvik Black, the most intense black in the Defender palette. It is a deep, dark black with a standard gloss finish, but customers can customise the exterior of their OCTA Black by choosing a matt black protective film.

The lower front shield and rear sill plates are finished in Satin Black, as are the rear towing rings, while the front towing eye cover and Gloss Black quad exhaust tips provide a contrasting finish.

The Land Rover oval on the grille is black with dark silver lettering. Even the underbody components feature a Gloss Black or Satin Black finish, including the exhaust silencer guard, centre differential and optional electric deployable tow bar.

There is a choice between 20-inch forged wheels or 22-inch Gloss Black wheels, with black wheel covers and Defender lettering in Shadow Atlas, while the Gloss Black brake calipers feature contrasting Sentient Silver lettering.

To match the dramatic black exterior, the interior of the Defender OCTA Black takes rugged luxury to a new level. Semi-Aniline ebony leather and KvadratTM are introduced to the Defender for the first time, giving the Performance seats a soft-touch finish. They feature unique perforation patterns with new stitching on the seatbacks, while the rear seats and armrest hinges are finished in Carpathian Grey, adding a bold touch to every element.

On the dashboard, the dashboard crossbar finish is finished with a coat of Satin Black powder, with an option of fragmented carbon fibre for certain interior details, adding the ultimate touch of rugged luxury.

“There is no denying the character and mission of the Defender OCTA: it is the tallest and widest of the Defenders, enabling it to tackle the most challenging terrain even more effectively. The introduction of the Defender OCTA Black takes things up a notch. We know our customers love to give their Defender an all-black finish, and our designers have applied this principle to every possible surface – inside and out – to create the ultimate luxury touch for the Defender OCTA.” MARK CAMERON, MANAGING DIRECTOR, DEFENDER.

The Defender OCTA is the extreme performance hero of the invincible Defender family, featuring a 635PS Bi-Turbo mild-hybrid V8 engine, 6D Dynamics suspension and an OCTA mode dedicated to off-road performance. It also features Body and Soul seats, which allow front Performance seat occupants to not only hear the music they love, but feel it too. Developed in partnership with specialist company SUBPACTM and using audio signals from the 15 speakers of the MeridianTM Surround Sound System, this immersive high-fidelity vibro-acoustic technology incorporates the same artificial intelligence software used by leading artists and composers.

The Defender OCTA Black benefits from the latest enhancements to the Defender line-up, including a new headlight design with a refreshed graphic signature and rear lights fitted with smoked lenses. Inside the cabin, a new touchscreen opens up an even more intuitive infotainment system.

Price From : 213 100 $

]]> 2025 Buick Enclave, a flagship premium SUV with available Super Cruise https://canada.amilcarmagazine.com/2025-buick-enclave-a-flagship-premium-suv-with-available-super-cruise/ Wed, 13 Aug 2025 10:31:25 +0000 https://usa.amilcarmagazine.com/?p=934555

Buick vehicles offer sculptural designs, refined performance, modern interiors and thoughtful personal technologies.

Buick Enclave is the latest vehicle to launch with Buick’s new design ethos that started with the Wildcat EV concept, and provides even more premium finishes and amenities, including an ultrawide 30-inch-diagonal screen – the largest in its class.

“With the launch of our Buick Enclave flagship SUV, our ICE portfolio is now complete with a full lineup of completely refreshed or all-new vehicles,” said Duncan Aldred, global vice president, Buick and GMC. “The premium and sculptural design of the Enclave strikes a confident stance on any street, and the thoughtful technologies throughout elevate the driving experience. Coupled with luxury finishes, Enclave sets a new standard for our brand and the segment, it truly is exceptional by design and will help the brand continue our momentum through 2025 and beyond.”

Exceptional design, refined performance

The next-generation Enclave launches with upgrades to the grille, front and rear fascia to align with Buick’s PURE philosophy: purity in design, unexpected details, refined finishes and exceptional executions. The flagship SUV also features the body-mounted hood badging now found throughout the full Buick portfolio.

Buick’s design evolution incorporates the signature winged lighting, checkmark-style LED headlamps and cross-car LED taillamps. The Avenir trim includes a walk-up lighting animation, as well.

In the interior, the Enclave integrates a floating center console that adds to the airy and open ride experience. The floating center console houses functional storage, a multi-controller, wireless phone charger and cupholders.

The 2025 Buick Enclave is longer, wider and taller than the previous generation, providing a strong on-road presence.

All Enclave trims come standard with a powerful 2.5L Turbo engine producing 328 horsepower and 326 lb-ft of torque, and a standard eight-speed automatic transmission. The Enclave will be available in front wheel and all-wheel drive variants.

The Enclave is trailering-capable with an available maximum capability of up to 5,000 lbs.

Standout technologies

The 2025 Enclave is the first Buick to offer Super Cruise, the industry’s first true hands-free advanced driver assistance system (ADAS), on all of its trim levels. Today Super Cruise is the largest truly hands-free system in the U.S. and Canada as we expand our road network to about 750,000 miles through 2025. The Super Cruise package also includes Driver Attention Assist5 and Enhanced Automatic Park Assist5. The Avenir trim includes a rear camera mirror5 as part of the available Super Cruise package.

The Enclave’s infotainment system is designed to give drivers the most intuitive vehicle experience. Using the touchscreen or Google Assistant, drivers can reply to text messages, get directions through Google Maps, or control select vehicle functions. Drivers can also add apps like Spotify to listen to their music and favorite podcasts.

Additional standard tech features include:

  • 30-inch-diagonal premium ultra-wide display – the largest screen in its class
  • Wireless charging capability
  • Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto capability
  • Seven standard camera views, including front, rear and surround views. Two additional cameras available for up to nine through optional packages.

The 2025 Buick Enclave comes standard with Automatic Crash Response, remote vehicle commands, and navigation and voice assistance features for eight years as part of the OnStar One Essentials package. 

Putting safety first

The 2025 Enclave launches with an expansive suite of standard safety and driver assist technologies.

New standard safety features for 2025 include:

  • Blind Zone Steering Assist
  • Intersection Automatic Emergency Braking
  • Traffic sign recognition
  • Lane Keep Assist and Departure Warning

A trim for every personality

The 2025 Enclave launches with three trims: Preferred, Sport Touring and Avenir – the ultimate expression of Buick design.

Standard features across all three trims, starting with Preferred, include:

  • Customizable, multicolor ambient lighting
  • Auto-sense power liftgate
  • QuietTuning, Buick’s signature technology to help prevent unwanted road noise from entering the cabin
  • First row power heated seats with four-way lumbar support
  • 20-inch alloy wheels with Medium Android Finish, unique to Preferred
  • 12-speaker Bose Audio for Preferred and Sport Touring
  • Added tuning capability to provide a better ride and handling balance for Preferred and Sport Touring. This helps to isolate sharp road impacts.

Unique standard features on the Sport Touring and Avenir trims include:

]]> DEFENDER OCTA – THE NEW MASTER OF EXTREME PERFORMANCE https://canada.amilcarmagazine.com/defender-octa-le-nouveau-maitre-des-performances-extremes/ Sun, 11 May 2025 14:14:48 +0000 https://mens.amilcarmagazine.com/?p=933516 Like a diamond, the new Defender OCTA is a rare combination of extreme robustness and luxury, hence its name inspired by the hardest and most desirable mineral in the world.

The new Defender OCTA boasts a commanding stance and bold new design, while its signature new emblems pay tribute to its diamond-level capabilities.

Introducing a new hero for Defender, the British brand with the original spirit of adventure : the new Defender OCTA. The toughest, most capable and most luxurious member of the  unstoppable 4×4 family, taking the Defender 110’s capability to a whole new level.

Powered by a 4.4-litre Twin Turbo mild-hybrid V8 engine, the OCTA model is the most extreme and powerful Defender yet, delivering 467 kW/635 hp and up to 750 Nm1 of torque and accelerating from 62,14 mph in 4.0 seconds . Completely redesigned chassis components featuring innovative technologies, including 6D Dynamics suspension, ensure its dynamic capabilities are taken to new heights.

The exterior is bolder and more robust than ever, with a distinctive character. The ride height is raised, its stance wider, and the wheel arches are enlarged, for an incredible presence. Redesigned bumpers improve approach and departure angles, while robust underbody protection gives drivers the confidence to explore more rugged terrain. And it will be able to tread deeper ground than any production Defender before it, down to one meter of water.

Mark Cameron, Defender Managing Director, said: “With the new Defender OCTA, we’ve been able to unlock the Defender’s full potential. It embodies the very definition of breadth of capability, but also demonstrates what we can achieve by utilizing the very best technologies and talent within our engineering division. With its powerful V8 engine, groundbreaking 6D Dynamics suspension technology, luxury finishes, and unique details, it’s rare, incredibly robust, and inherently desirable.”

The name of the new Defender OCTA is taken from the world’s strongest and most attractive mineral – a diamond – and the octahedron shape that gives it its distinctive look and durability. This shape also inspired the distinctive new emblem, which marks it as the flagship Defender model, at once strong and durable, yet striking, rare and desirable.

Each Defender OCTA features a new diamond-in-circle motif, finished in Gloss Black stamped onto a machined and sandblasted titanium disc, affixed to each signature graphic panel.

The rugged luxury of the Defender OCTA is epitomised by the Defender OCTA Edition One, available from the first year of production. It features a carefully crafted specification, finished in a new exclusive Faroe Green shade, seamless knitted seat covers in PU UltrafabricsTM Khaki and Ebony, new Chopped Carbon Fibre details and 20-inch forged alloy wheels with a choice of optional specially designed All-Terrain or Advanced All-Terrain tyres.

UNMATCHED PERFORMANCE

The new OCTA model delivers unprecedented performance for the Defender. Powered by a 467 kW/635 hp 4.4-litre Twin Turbo mild-hybrid V8 engine mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission with a dual-speed transfer case (high/low range), it is the most powerful and extreme Defender ever.

The new Defender OCTA will reach up to 155 MPH(limited) when fitted with 22-inch forged alloy wheels and all-season tyres.

With 750 Nm of torque 1 (up to 800 Nm by selecting Dynamic Launch mode) and tuned to match the vehicle’s exceptional off-road performance, the new Defender OCTA is capable of accelerating from 0 to 62,14 mph in 4.0 seconds, while maximum torque is available from 1,800 to almost 6,000 rpm, ensuring exceptional traction.

INCREDIBLE CAPABILITIES AND DURABILITY

The dynamic capabilities of the new Defender OCTA go far beyond what any Defender has achieved before, with the introduction of hydraulically interconnected 6D Dynamics suspension technology for the first time on a Defender, along with significant hardware and geometry changes. Unique in its kind, it is designed to be as enjoyable to drive on-road as it is off-road, without any compromise.

The Defender OCTA is raised 28mm and features a 68mm wider stance, for superior ground clearance and stability. To ensure unrivalled confidence and control on all terrains, with both maximum wheel articulation off-road and reduced body roll on-road, revised suspension components include longer, stronger wishbones and unique active dampers with separate accumulators. The model also features optimized 400mm front brake discs with Brembo calipers and features the quickest steering ratio of any Defender to date, for immediate and precise responses.

A bespoke testing and development programme comprising over 13,960 additional tests , including high-speed off-road reliability and endurance, as well as high-speed on-road performance, had to be created for the Defender OCTA, as the team entered areas of capability and robustness that had never been explored before.

Jamal Hameedi, Director of SVO, JLR, said: “Our high-performance experts have achieved the impossible with Defender OCTA, working tirelessly over the last three years to create the most capable Defender ever produced, regardless of the surface it is operated on. They have completely redesigned the vehicle’s components to ensure Defender OCTA is the perfect companion for epic adventures in every corner of the globe.”

An advanced combination of hydraulically interconnected, continuously variable semi-active dampers virtually eliminates body pitch and roll on the road, while the 6D Dynamics system also contributes to the Defender’s unprecedented comfort and refinement. On challenging terrain, the 6D Dynamics system allows for greater wheel articulation and tackles even more extreme obstacles, meaning customers can go even further and in greater comfort.

The full capabilities of the new Defender OCTA, which can automatically detect the surface it is driving on and optimize its dynamic settings accordingly, are unleashed through its enhanced driving modes. In addition to the default Comfort mode, Dynamic mode offers the ultimate performance-focused on-road experience, adjusting the vehicle’s steering, throttle and suspension settings with a simple touch of the signature logo button on the steering wheel.

A long press of the same button accesses OCTA mode, Defender’s first-ever performance-focused off-road driving mode. This has been specifically created to ensure ultimate control and driver confidence. OCTA mode also enables an Offroad Launch mode for optimal acceleration on loose surfaces. Combined with the lowest settings of the traction management systems (TracDSC or DSC off), it also applies a unique off-road ABS calibration for optimal braking performance on loose surfaces.

For more technical off-road maneuvers, the Defender’s suite of familiar Terrain Response modes remains at the driver’s fingertips, with specific Sand, Mud/Ruts, Grass/Gravel/Snow and Rock calibrations, supported by off-road driving aids such as ClearSight Ground View2, which provides a virtual view of the front wheels and surface with a display on the touchscreen.

AN EXTERIOR PLACED UNDER THE SIGN OF CONFIDENCE

Defender’s commanding presence and off-road focus give Defender OCTA a bold new attitude. It is available with 22-inch diameter wheels, the largest ever fitted to a production Defender, and Goodyear Advanced All-Terrain tires1 specifically designed for the OCTA model. This required flared wheel arches, which complement the off-road-optimized front bodywork with unique grille designs allowing for improved underhood airflow, a new rear bumper incorporating a quad-exit active exhaust system, robust underbody protection including an aluminum alloy front bumper in Graphite, and exposed front and rear tow points finished in Phosphor Bronze.

The Defender OCTA color palette includes two new exclusive premium metallic finishes: Petra Copper and Faroe Green, as well as Carpathian Grey and Charente Grey, while all Defender OCTA models feature a contrasting roof and tailgate in gloss Narvik Black. Customers can personalize their vehicle with the optional matte protection film for additional body protection in challenging environments, also adding an elegant look that highlights its distinctive silhouette and sophisticated surfaces.

The Faroe Green color is available exclusively on the Defender OCTA Edition One, as are the Chopped Carbon Fiber details. This highly distinctive finish, which includes recycled raw materials, features on the Defender bonnet lettering, side vents and bonnet vents, as well as on the front seat backs and center console trim inside.

AN ENGAGING AND IMMERSIVE INTERIOR

Inside, carefully selected details set the new Defender OCTA apart. Two ultra-durable UltrafabricsTM PU options – 30% lighter than traditional leather – are available. This knitted seat finish is standard on the Defender OCTA Edition One, in two-tone Khaki and Ebony, and has a minimalist, seamless finish.

For the Defender OCTA, the standard interior is offered in a new Semi-Aniline Burnt Sienna leather, with Kvadrat™ textile trim in Ebony. Any Defender OCTA model can also be equipped with Ultrafabrics™ PU in Light Cloud and Lunar, or Semi-Aniline leather in Ebony.

The front row of the Defender OCTA features all-new Performance seats with supportive bolsters and integrated headrests. Another new feature of the Defender is the Body and Soul Seat audio technology .

The Body and Soul Seat feature was created in collaboration with music industry experts SUBPAC and Coventry University, allowing both the driver and front passenger to feel and hear the music . Six wellness programs are also available to help passengers relax or boost their cognitive responses while traveling, depending on their preferences.

The Defender OCTA PRICE starts at 195 940 $

]]> THE BUGATTI TOURBILLON – AN AUTOMOTIVE ICON “FOR ETERNITY” https://canada.amilcarmagazine.com/the-bugatti-tourbillon-an-automotive-icon-for-eternity/ Sun, 23 Jun 2024 15:52:31 +0000 https://luxuryselections.amilcarmagazine.com/?p=49192

In 2004, in the midst of a renaissance, the Bugatti brand revolutionized the world of automotive performance and luxury with a hypersports car developing 1001 hp: the Veyron. The first 1000 hp-plus tourer was followed in 2016 by another engineering marvel, so ambitious that it challenged all performance expectations: the Chiron, the world’s first hypersports car to develop 1500 hp. What do they have in common? The most advanced automotive engine in existence: an 8.0-liter W16 with quadruple turbo. Now, 20 years after launching the hypersport segment, Bugatti is totally redefining the concept with a completely revamped engine and platform. Welcome to the Bugatti Tourbillon.

A NAME, A PHILOSOPHY

Mate Rimac, Bugatti CEO, said: “The development of the Bugatti Tourbillon has been guided at every stage by the 115-year history of Bugatti and by the words of Ettore Bugatti himself. His sacred formulas – ‘If it’s comparable, it’s not Bugatti anymore’ and ‘Nothing is too beautiful’ – have guided my steps, as well as those of the engineers and designers charged with bringing to life the exciting new era of Bugatti hypersports.”

“Legends such as the Type 57SC Atlantic, recognized as the most beautiful car in the world, the Type 35 – the most successful of all time – and the Type 41 Royale – one of the most ambitious luxury cars to date – are the three pillars that inspired us. Beauty, performance and luxury are the key words guiding the design of the Tourbillon, a hypersports car whose elegance, emotion and luxury surpass all that has been done to date. Incomparable, quite simply. And like those icons of the past, we didn’t just think of it for the present, or even just for the future, but for all eternity.

Mate Rimac, CEO of Bugatti

The Tourbillon

For the first Bugatti in over 20 years not to be powered by the W16 engine, the brand has departed from the tradition of naming models after legendary Bugatti drivers. Thus, its name – the Tourbillon – was chosen to perfectly express its character. A French word and a subtle nod to Bugatti’s French heritage and its headquarters in Molsheim, the Tourbillon takes its name from the watchmaking invention of a Swiss genius who lived in France in 1801. Totally original, this unparalleled creation – both beautiful and complex – counteracted the effects of the earth’s gravity on the timepiece to ensure highly accurate timekeeping. And 200 years later, it’s still considered the pinnacle of watchmaking.

It’s this sense of mechanical timelessness that lies at the heart of the project that gave birth to the Bugatti Tourbillon. For a hypersports car destined to sit proudly on the lawns of the concours d’élégance of this century and the centuries to come, technology can easily fall into disuse – especially large digital displays – which is why for Bugatti it’s important to incorporate as many timeless components as possible. As a result, the Tourbillon uses timeless design and engineering techniques, including all-analog instruments made by Swiss watchmakers, and finished with the same care and attention as the world’s greatest timepieces. Just as these objects become family treasures handed down from generation to generation, the Tourbillon is a hypersport for eternity.

DESIGN AND AERODYNAMICS

Like all Bugatti models of the modern era, the Tourbillon is “shaped by speed”. To be able to travel at over 245 Mph, every surface, every air intake and every edge must be perfectly polished, to ensure that every detail is not only aerodynamic, but also beneficial to the vehicle’s thermodynamics. This is the guiding idea behind the Tourbillon, which then takes shape around four design elements inspired by the brand’s history: the horseshoe grille, the Bugatti line, the central ridge and the two-tone combination.

Frank Heyl, Bugatti Design Director, said : “The genius of Ettore and Jean Bugatti’s creations lies in their aerodynamics, innovation and unchanging beauty. We draw our inspiration from the Bugatti Type 35, whose silhouette was guided by the shape of the horseshoe grille, which tapered back into a streamlined fuselage. We also drew inspiration from the Type 57SC Atlantic – whose letter “S” stands for “Low” – by lowering the front end, the roofline and the driver’s position, creating that wonderful posture and dreamlike proportions. We felt it was essential to position the volumes in such a way that they were functional and supported the extreme proportions of the hypersport. Lowered, it appears wider, and the rims are highlighted. The result is an impression of muscular tension, of a posture ready to pounce. Every design decision has been aimed at creating a sensation of speed, even when the hypersportive is stationary.

While the aesthetics and proportions of this new Bugatti are strikingly beautiful, the fact remains that every surface and every airflow has been carefully studied, firstly to balance the colossal aerodynamic forces exerted on a vehicle travelling at over 245 Mph, and secondly to reconcile the thermodynamic requirements of a V16 engine, electric motors and an eminently powerful battery.

Drawing on more than 20 years of know-how from the Veyron and Chiron, the Tourbillon boasts a host of patented technologies. The perfect balance of forces generated by these innovations keeps the rear spoiler in the retracted position at peak speeds. Its function is to increase downforce at low speeds and act as an air brake to enhance stability during deceleration.

This aerodynamic balance is largely the result of the new diffuser concept, which begins its ascent just behind the passenger compartment, almost halfway up the vehicle, at an optimum angle, ensuring the Tourbillon’s perfect stability. The diffuser is built around an all-new anti-collision concept that is fully integrated into the structure of the diffuser itself. This makes it both highly effective and virtually invisible, enabling the open design of the rear end.

At the heart of the Tourbillon’s design philosophy lies the emblematic horseshoe, the starting point of all the hypersport’s lines, where the volume of the central fuselage takes shape. On either side of the hypersportive, air flows under the headlights to increase the flow into the side air intakes. This complex interplay of air flows is also evident in the front-end design. While retaining the dimensions of a sculpted front end, it ingeniously houses a highly efficient cooling system that guides air through and then out of the front hood, increasing downforce while ingeniously integrating a spacious trunk between the two radiators.

Two sophisticated, power-operated dihedral doors not only allow easy entry into the vehicle, but also mark the opening in spectacular fashion. They can be opened and closed in three different ways: from the key, via the opening button just below the Bugatti line, or the one on the center console.

INTERIOR 

Since carmakers began integrating digital and touch screens into their models, the innovations have been such that in just ten years, these technologies already seem obsolete. The design of the interior was guided by a philosophy of timelessness, imagining the Tourbillon on the lawns of concours d’élégance not only in ten years’ time, but more importantly in 100 years’ time. Inspired by the world of watchmaking, in which wristwatches more than a century old can still be worn and used today, while integrating perfectly with modern fashion and lifestyle, the engineers and designers created an authentic analog experience in the cabin.

The centerpiece – the dashboard instruments designed and crafted with the expertise of Swiss watchmakers – takes horological inspiration to the extreme. Comprising more than 600 parts, crafted in titanium and incorporating precious stones such as sapphire and ruby, the instrument panel is designed to a maximum tolerance of 50 microns – the smallest being 5 microns – and weighs just 700 grams.

This complex engineering masterpiece remains the focal point of the driving experience, around which the steering wheel rotates – a configuration known as the “fixed hub steering wheel”. Thanks to this ingenious concept, the Tourbillon driver enjoys an unobstructed view of his or her instruments, whatever the steering angle.

The center console combines crystal glass and aluminum, revealing the intricate workings of all the buttons and the engine start lever. The development of this glass required 13 separate stages, to ensure perfect transparency, extreme resistance and optimum safety in the event of an accident. The aluminum parts are anodized and milled from a single block of metal, while the knurled aluminum buttons sit at the heart of a complex mechanism fully visible beneath the crystal glass – developed entirely in-house. Igniting the all-new naturally-aspirated V16 engine and electric motor is a physical experience, a nod to the rituals of historic automobiles that required pulling to start and pushing to stop the engine.

However, a high-definition digital screen – which the driver can make appear at will – displays vehicle data and offers several connectivity options. The vehicle’s only screen – which displays vehicle data and offers several connectivity options – remains completely hidden, unless the driver wishes it to appear. A highly refined mechanism allows the touchscreen to be deployed from the top of the center console – in portrait mode for the rearview camera in just two seconds, and in landscape mode in five seconds.

As with the exterior, every decision concerning the interior has been made with ultimate performance in mind, without compromising on practicality or comfort. The seats, for example, are attached to the monocoque to be as light and low as possible. And to ensure a comfortable riding position whatever the rider’s size, the pedals can be moved forward and back by means of an electric control.

The result is a spacious interior ideal for long journeys and daily commutes. As for the audio system, it dispenses with traditional speakers and woofers, opting instead for an advanced system that uses exciters placed on the door panels and throughout the vehicle, where the interior panels act as speakers. This system is lighter and more powerful than traditional audio systems.

ENGINES AND PERFORMANCE

When it came out, Bugatti’s W16 engine was unlike any other automotive engine in the world. With its four turbos and prodigious power, it set a new benchmark and pushed back the boundaries of combustion engine technology. Two decades after its launch, it has yet to be equalled, or even imitated. Following in its footsteps, here’s another incomparable masterpiece of internal combustion engineering, combined with the instant torque and flexibility of electric motors.

This new-generation Bugatti hypersport is powered by an all-new 8.3-liter naturally-aspirated V16 engine – designed in collaboration with Cosworth – combined with two electric motors on the front axle and one electric motor on the rear axle. In all, the Tourbillon develops 1,800 hp, of which 1,000 hp is generated by the combustion engine and 800 hp by the electric motors. This is an extraordinary performance – made possible by a whole range of advanced materials and technologies – given that the Veyron achieved 1001 hp with its 8.0-liter engine featuring four turbochargers, and the new V16 is fully naturally aspirated. Made from lightweight materials, the engine weighs just 555,5 Lbs.

The electric motors are powered by a 25 kWh oil-cooled 800V battery housed in the central tunnel and behind the passengers. With four-wheel drive and all-wheel torque vectoring, the hypersport benefits from optimum traction and agility. The three electric motors deliver a total of 800 hp. The electric motor, with its speed of up to 24,000 rpm and fully integrated dual silicon carbide inverter, offers one of the highest power densities in the world. Electric axles deliver over 6 kW per kg of electric axle mass, including inverters, electric motors and gearboxes. While the power, throttle response and additional torque offered by the “Torque-Fill” function are priorities for the electric powertrain, the relatively high energy content of 25 kWh enables an all-electric range of over 37 miles.

The Tourbillon boasts significantly improved performance, a powerful electric drive system and a large battery. Yet it’s lighter than the Chiron, a testament to the incredible engineering behind this achievement. Thanks to its light weight and the instant torque provided by the electric motors, the Bugatti Tourbillon delivers breathtaking performance.

]]> THE W16 MISTRAL THE ULTIMATE BUGATTI ROADSTER https://canada.amilcarmagazine.com/the-w16-mistral-the-ultimate-bugatti-roadster/ Mon, 04 Mar 2024 13:44:36 +0000 https://canada.amilcarmagazine.com/?p=43023

For over two centuries, Bugatti has offered some of the finest roadsters ever created. Jean Bugatti was behind many of these models. Created between the mid-1920s and the late 1930s, Bugatti roadsters were produced in small numbers with an absolute quest for perfection. Among them: the Type 40 A, the Type 41 Roadster Esders, the Type 55 Roadster and the emblematic Type 57 Roadster Grand Raid Gangloff.

A true tour de force, the W16 Mistral1, is an evocative, powerful and memorable vehicle in many ways. It is, after all, the first Bugatti roadster since the Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse, presented in 2012, and the last road appearance of the brand’s legendary W16 engine. It was therefore important that the development of the W16 Mistral should focus on absolute engineering excellence and embody more than just a reinterpretation of the Chiron2.

Built around the 1,600 PS W16 engine, the W16 Mistral offers craftsmanship and luxury that no other roadster can match. Its design and engineering have been completely rethought.

The monocoque has been redesigned and reconfigured to create a more rounded silhouette and meet strict safety regulations, including those for a roofless vehicle.

That’s why the Bugatti team had to work hard to design a dynamic vehicle with cutting-edge engineering combining performance, comfort, safety, handling and ease of driving.

Emilio Scervo: “One of the main challenges was to create a roadster capable of reaching speeds of up to 260.98 mph, and to combine this performance with a luxurious and refined experience offering great safety to the driver.”

To achieve this goal, it has never been more important to put into practice Bugatti’s philosophy that “form follows performance“. With this in mind, every component was designed both to push the limits in terms of aesthetics and to achieve totally new levels of performance. The challenge was to make the roadster’s structure as rigid and light as possible, so that the driving experience would be similar to that of a Chiron.

True to its Bugatti roadster roots, the W16 Mistral is a dynamic, agile and responsive hyper-sportive, which required the development team to use lightweight, ultra-high-performance composite materials and complex structures to reduce vehicle weight while increasing chassis rigidity. This same approach was adopted for the doors of the W16 Mistral, another key element in the development. They feature an innovative frame structure that enables them to absorb an exceptional amount of energy in the event of a side impact, ensuring the safety of driver and passenger.

A new, highly advanced air intake system has been specially created for the W16 Mistral to match its new exterior design. For example, innovative air intake vents located behind the headrests have been designed and developed with stringent – but essential – safety tests in mind. Each “mouth” is made from a bespoke carbon-fibre structure capable of supporting the full weight of the car in the event of a rollover. This new air intake configuration also enriches the W16 driver’s experience, enhancing the musicality of the legendary 8-liter engine. An auditory sensation unrivalled in the automotive world.

Nevertheless, the sound on board the W16 Mistral is not limited to the roar of the W16 engine, it is also accompanied by a top-of-the-range audio system developed specifically for the roadster. Listening to music on board the W16 Mistral becomes an incomparable pleasure, even when it’s hurtling along at high speed, playing with the powerful wind from which it takes its name.

Inside the W16 Mistral, woven leather covers the newly designed door panels, meticulously tested and produced to Bugatti quality standards. In a nod to the W16 Mistral’s illustrious predecessors, the gearshift – machined from a solid block of aluminum – pays homage to Rembrandt Bugatti’s famous “Dancing Elephant” sculpture. This sculpture already adorned the radiator of the emblematic Type 41 Royale in Ettore’s time, the most luxurious Bugatti ever created. A way of inscribing this modern masterpiece of the brand even further in the long line of Bugatti roadsters, recognized and admired for decades.

]]> BENTAYGA JOINS ‘THE PRESERVE’ SPORTING CLUB & RESIDENCES, TO CONTINUE LUXURY OUTDOOR ADVENTURE. https://canada.amilcarmagazine.com/bentayga-joins-the-preserve-sporting-club-residences-to-continue-luxury-outdoor-adventure/ Fri, 26 Jan 2024 12:00:56 +0000 https://canada.amilcarmagazine.com/?p=42872

The Preserve was conceived as an unparalleled luxury resort focused on shaping experiences and elevated opportunities within unspoiled nature, and preserving the protected land of the Carolina Management Area, which includes developing wildlife sanctuaries and strategic land donations.


The Preserve grants access for guests to develop driving skills with expert coaching at the Bentley Off-Road Driving Experience, a newly developed test track with steep inclines and descents, featuring Bentayga V8s with All-Terrain Specification. Equipped with Bentley Dynamic Ride – the world’s first 48V active anti-roll control system, the Bentayga accommodates the widest range of on and off-road drive settings of any SUV available.

The offering expands with three specifically tailored on-property excursions where guests are encouraged to choose their adventure.

Each fitted with custom designed rear cargo boxes wrapped in color matched hide to stow equipment for field sports, fly fishing or picnicking. The design team from Mulliner – Bentley’s in-house bespoking division – worked closely with The Preserve to design three Bentaygas befitting of the setting while keeping in the spirit of outdoor adventure.

While chauffeured between events in a finely specified Bentayga Extended Wheelbase, the time between activities is dedicated to the on-board wellness of its occupants. The Bentayga features world-first wellness technology embedded within the cabin, providing the optimum balance between ultimate ride comfort, handling and body control. Each experience Bentayga is specified to fit the needs of the experience and feature bespoke purpose-built cargo boxes that fit to the tailgate rails in addition to personalized Preserve puddle lamps and embroidered emblems.

“We are excited to welcome guests to the Bentley Experiences at The Preserve to take part in incredible driving adventures, all offering wellness and self-discovery while behind the wheel of Bentayga,” says Christophe Georges, President and CEO of Bentley Americas. “This offering compliments a shared vision for creating memorable and accessible Bentley Extraordinary Journeys while highlighting craftsmanship, innovation, wellness and sustainability.”

Bentley owners will enjoy twice yearly premier access to The Preserve, including peak times when the retreat is typically inaccessible. This access also includes premier booking at the 18-hole golf course, the state-of-the-art spa as well as the equestrian center.

]]> A NEW ERA FOR ELECTRIC RANGE ROVER – 2024 https://canada.amilcarmagazine.com/a-new-era-for-electric-range-rover-2024/ Thu, 04 Jan 2024 14:21:16 +0000 https://canada.amilcarmagazine.com/?p=42836

The first 100% electric vehicle from the House of Range Rover will be the quietest and most refined Range Rover ever designed.

Since its launch in 2021, the fifth-generation Range Rover has set a new benchmark for “desirability”. Around the world, we’re seeing the highest levels of customer demand in its 53-year history.

As a result of this unprecedented success, we are opening the official waiting list today to give customers and non-customers alike the opportunity to be among the first to pre-order the most eagerly awaited Range Rover in recent times.

Marking a new era for the House of Range Rover, this unique luxury SUV is now available in an all-electric version.

GERALDINE INGHAM
MANAGING DIRECTOR, RANGE ROVER

Announcing the next step in its journey to electrify modern luxury, the first all-electric vehicle from the House of Range Rover will sublimate its modern luxury credentials. Its exemplary British design remains distinctive and unconditional, while its go-anywhere capability will allow towing, fording and off-road technology to surpass any other luxury electric SUV.

The Range Rover Electric will offer performance comparable to that of a Range Rover V8, as well as the off-road capabilities developed in-house by Land Rover’s experts, which have been the hallmark of the Range Rover since its creation in 1970.

Prototype testing is underway, with the engineers’ sole aim being to create the quietest, most refined Range Rover ever, with a unique active noise-cancellation configuration, careful attention to ambience and excellent levels of cabin comfort.

After a year of virtual development, focusing on the robustness of the front axle and the analysis of multi-body systems, taking into account chassis requirements and fording at speeds of up to 50 km/h, the first physical vehicles have been produced.

Road tests began, from Sweden to Dubai, with temperatures ranging from -40°C to +50°C. The worldwide test program was adapted for Range Rover’s first all-electric vehicle to ensure the robustness of the electric drive system, including underfloor, battery durability, chassis integrity and vehicle dynamic testing to protect systems in high temperatures.

The new Range Rover Electric will be developed and produced in the UK :

On the Flexible Longitudinal Modular Architecture (MLA) at Solihull, alongside existing light hybrid and plug-in hybrid vehicles from the House of Range Rover.

For the first time, batteries and EDUs will be built and assembled at JLR’s new electric propulsion manufacturing center in Wolverhampton, UK, as the House of Range Rover continues to stay ahead of its net zero carbon ambition by 2039.

About Range Rover

Every Range Rover sets the benchmark, with modernist design, refined connected interiors and electrified performance offering unrivalled luxury, inspired by exemplary design since 1970.

The House includes the Range Rover, Range Rover Sport, Range Rover Velar and Range Rover Evoque, and is backed by Land Rover – a trust forged by 75 years of expertise in technology, architecture and first-class off-road capability.

As part of a vision of modern luxury focused on sustainability, every Range Rover is available in a hybrid-electric version. The all-electric Range Rover will arrive in 2024.

Range Rover is one of the world’s leading British luxury brands, sold in 121 countries. It is part of the JLR Group, alongside the Defender, Discovery and Jaguar brands.
