ROAD RUNNER
They may think they have you after slashing your tyres – but yours can run while flat for a good 80km.
MIC CHECK
Everything else is useless if you lower your window to speak to a baddie masquerading as law enforcement. Use the external communications system instead, which allows you to converse with strangers from the safety of your cabin.
HANDS OFF
Would-be intruders are in for a rude shock – electrified door handles prevent entry by force.
BULLETS BEGONE
Lightweight ballistic shielding and layered glass and acrylic sheets let you shrug off gunfire, while adding little weight to the already fast car.
CATCH ME IF YOU CAN
A road tack-dispensing system secures a swift exit – pursuers are going to find themselves on flat tyres that, unlike yours, won’t work.
OTHER NEW RIDES
Luxe wheels to excite every type of driver.
01 SILVER LINING
Rolls-Royce has announced a limited production run of 35 bespoke Ghosts – a hyper-exclusive homage to the original 1904 Silver Ghost that catapulted the brand to success. Among a slew of modifications, collectors can expect a sterling silver Spirit of Ecstasy fronting the luxurious vehicle, and a distinctive coachline infused with pure silver particles.
02 RED STREAK
It was a matter of time before the Prancing Horse 488s went turbo. The new Ferrari Pista brings the 3.9-litre twin-turbo V8s to bear, but drops 90kg from its previous form to hit 711bhp and a century sprint of 2.85 seconds. As for the name? Everyone expected it to be “Scuderia” or “GTO”; “Pista” simply means “track”.
03 DOUBLING DOWN
Mercedes-AMG’s GT Coupe, the brand’s performance sedan, gets the and three variants, each sporting the 4Matic all-four-door treatment wheel drive and impressive technical specs. But the German carmaker
has dressed the interiors as well. Luscious leather upholstery, slivers of wood and brushed aluminium daub the top-notch cabin.
