  • What innovative features distinguish Rolls-Royce's "Spirit of Expression" series from conventional luxury vehicles?

In a world dominated by luxury cars adorned in predictable shades of silver, Rolls-Royce has once again demonstrated its unparalleled commitment to bespoke craftsmanship and individuality. The renowned automaker has recently unveiled the "Spirit of Expression," a captivating series of three custom-built vehicles exclusively crafted for discerning clients in China. Among these extraordinary automobiles is a lavender-hued Ghost Extended sedan affectionately named "Expressionism," which notably features the reintroduction of a classic automotive styling element: whitewall tires.

The Rolls-Royce Ghost Extended "Expressionism" is a celebration of artistic inspiration and bespoke luxury. Its distinctive Boraclay Blue paint, drawing inspiration from the vibrant hues of the Philippine sunset, sets a unique tone for this bespoke masterpiece. Riding on elegant 21-inch wheels, the Ghost's whitewall tires evoke a sense of classic sophistication, reminiscent of a bygone era of automotive elegance.

However, the opulence doesn't end with the exterior. Step inside, and you're enveloped in a world of bespoke luxury. The interior of this Ghost sedan boasts an eye-catching lime green and black color scheme, accented with meticulous craftsmanship. Delve deeper, and you'll discover an astonishing level of detail—the doors alone feature an impressive 104,268 hand-stitched elements, a testament to Rolls-Royce's dedication to unparalleled luxury and quality.

Accompanying the lavishly appointed Ghost is the Spectre, a striking two-tone orange/gray creation named "Escapism." This sleek coupe, finished in Lantana Red, captivates with its 23-inch wheels and a meticulously crafted interior adorned with purple and gray tones, punctuated by orange stitching and a starlit headliner featuring 960 fiber-optic lights.

Completing this exceptional trio is the Phantom Extended "Magnetism," showcasing a sophisticated blend of Cala Luna Sand and Kabira Blue. While comparatively understated, this luxury sedan doesn't shy away from extravagance—it boasts over 1,000 lights in its headliner and a stunning 43,000 stitches meticulously woven into its waterfall-themed interior motif.

These bespoke masterpieces mark a significant milestone for Rolls-Royce, representing the first exclusive orders processed through the company's Shanghai office—a testament to the brand's commitment to delivering tailored luxury experiences to its discerning clientele in China.

Enthusiasts and connoisseurs alike will have the opportunity to witness these exceptional vehicles firsthand at this year's Auto China show in Beijing, offering a glimpse into the world of Rolls-Royce's unparalleled craftsmanship and the enduring allure of automotive elegance.

In an era where individuality and personal expression reign supreme, Rolls-Royce continues to redefine luxury by blending traditional craftsmanship with contemporary innovation. The "Spirit of Expression" series exemplifies the brand's unwavering dedication to exceeding expectations, one bespoke creation at a time.

2025 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1: The Fastest, Most Powerful Corvette Ever

Chevrolet has unleashed the unthinkable in the Corvette ZR1. The King of the Hill returns with the most powerful V8 ever produced in America from an auto manufacturer, mind-bending specs, and iconic design to challenge the world’s best supercars in both coupe and convertible variants.

• Corvette ZR1 features a 5.5L, twin-turbocharged DOHC flat-plane crank V8 engine dubbed the LT7.

• The LT7 engine produces 1,064 horsepower at 7,000 rpm and 828 lb-ft (1123 Nm) of torque at 6,000 rpm, per SAE guidelines — the most power ever from a factory Corvette and the most powerful V8 ever produced in America from an auto manufacturer.

• Corvette ZR1 boasts a GM-estimated top speed of over 215 mph (346 Kph) on the racetrack and will dispatch the quarter mile with a GM-estimated sub-10-second time1.

• Purposeful carbon fiber aero package creates over 1,200 pounds (544 Kg) of downforce at top speed.

• ZR1 revives one of the most iconic styles in Corvette history: the split rear window.

“The team that revolutionized Corvette with a mid-engine architecture took on another challenge: take ZR1 to the next level,” said Scott Bell, vice president, Chevrolet. “Corvette ZR1 is about pushing the envelope with raw power and cutting-edge innovation. From Stingray, to Z06, E-Ray, and now ZR1, the Corvette family continues to elevate with each new iteration — and challenge the best in the world.”

The Street-Legal Red Bull RB17 Hypercar

The automotive world is abuzz with the announcement that Lanzante, the renowned vehicle specialist known for transforming track-focused machines into road-going marvels, is set to convert the Red Bull RB17 hypercar into a street-legal version. This ambitious project aims to bring Adrian Newey’s V-10 beast from the racetrack to the public roads, and while the challenge is daunting, Lanzante's track record suggests they are up for it. The Red Bull RB17, designed by the legendary Adrian Newey, is a testament to cutting-edge engineering and performance. The track-only version of the hypercar weighs a mere 1,984 pounds, making it lighter than a Mazda MX-5 Miata ND. Yet, despite its featherweight design, it boasts a staggering 1,200 horsepower. This immense power allows it to lap Silverstone a second quicker than a Formula 1 car, according to recent simulations.
