Model X is the safest, fastest and most capablesport utility vehicle in history. With all-wheel driveand a 90 kWh baery providing 303 miles ofrange, Model X has ample seating for sevenadults and all of their gear. And it’s ludicrouslyfast, accelerating from zero to 60 miles per hourin as quick as 3.2 seconds. Model X is the SUV uncompromised.

Safety First DesignModel X is designed with safety as the firstpriority. The floor-mounted baerylowers the centre of gravityso that the risk ofrollover is about halfthat of any vehicle inits class. The baerystructurestrengthens Model Xagainst side impactintrusions. Andwithout a gasolineengine, the largefront trunk acts asa giant impact-absorbing crumplezone. Although theEuro NCAP has notyet conductedcrash testing onModel X, Tesla's owninternally conductedcrash testing indicatesthat Model X should be the firstSUV to receive the highest safety rating inevery category.

TESLA M

Active SafetyModel X continually scans the surroundingroadway with camera, radar and sonar systems,providing the driver with real-time feedback tohelp avoid collisions. Even at motorway speeds,Model X is designed to automatically apply brakesin an emergency.

Pollution Free, Inside and OutA medical grade HEPA filter strips outside air ofpollen, bacteria, viruses and pollution beforecirculating it into the cabin. There are threemodes: circulate with outside air, re-circulateinside air and a bioweapon defense mode that

creates positive pressure inside the cabin to protect occupants.

MODEL X

AerodynamicModel X is able to achieve 303 miles of range inpart because it is the most aerodynamic SUV inproduction. At 0.24, Model X's drag coefficient is20% lower than the next best SUV. In addition, anactive spoiler deploys from the rear ligate tooptimise highway efficiency and stability.

Big SkyModel X has the largest all glass panoramicwindshield in production, providing anunparalleled view of the stars and sky above.Optimised solar tinting and obstruction-free viewcreates unlimited visibility for the driver and allpassengers.

Falcon WingsFalcon Wing doors allow easy access to second andthird row seats from even a tight parking space,while traditional SUV doors or Minivan slidingdoors would not grant any access.

With only a foot of clearance on either side, FalconWing doors articulate smoothly up and out of theway, allowing passengers to enter from both frontand rear directions. The side and overhead openingis so large that parents can buckle children inwithout ducking or straining and without bumpingtheir child's head on the roof.

Seating for Seven + GearModel X comfortably seats seven people in threerows. Every seat is the best seat in the house, butthe second row seats are a work of art. Mountedon a single post and independently reclining, eachsecond row seat is designed to maximisepassenger comfort, legroom, under seat storageand access to the third row. The third row seatsfold flat when not in use and the second row seatslean forward and out of the way for even morecargo area.

Everything FitsStow everyone's gear in Model X's large fronttrunk, rear cargo area and under passenger seats.Hitch mounted accessory carriers hold additionalgear. Model X is the first electric vehicle with a5,000 pound towing capacity.

In a double world premiere on two continents, thenew Mercedes-Maybach S-Class will be unveiledalmost simultaneously in its two key markets ofChina and the USA. The vehicle makes its debutjust hours apart at the Los Angeles Auto Showand at Auto Guangzhou. “The history of prestigevehicles made by Daimler extends back to theearliest days of the motor car. We have nowcommenced a new chapter with the Mercedes-Maybach S-Class” points out Ola Källenius,member of the Divisional Board of Mercedes-Benz Cars responsible for sales.

The new Mercedes-Maybach S-Class in action.The Mercedes-Maybach S-Class melds theperfection of the Mercedes-Benz S-Class with theexclusivity of Maybach. Some featuresdistinguish these vehicles from productionmodels include extra spaciousness with lavishlydesigned, prestigious interiors offering extensivescope for individualization. Mercedes-Maybach isnot an equipment line – it is a sub-brand that infuture will provide Mercedes-Benz vehicles in aneven more exclusive form.

Exterior design: elegant and exclusive.In its exterior design, the Mercedes-Maybach S-Class combines stylish, effortless superiority withtrend-seing exclusivity. The vehicle makesmodern luxury come alive in an exceptional way.Along with the extended wheelbase, emphaticlines suggest power and dynamism. Due to thesidewall’s special design, characteristic designelements for the S-Class are retained such as thesweeping, dome-shaped roofline. The keydistinguishing feature is the new side line: bycomparison with the long-wheelbase version ofthe S-Class, the striking rear door has beenshortened by 66 millimeters and thereforeappears to meld seamlessly into the overallcomposition. The door has no triangular windowbecause this has been relocated into the C-pillar.As a result, the rear seats are situated beyond thedoor cutout, which creates a feeling of exceptionalprivacy and exclusivity. The elegant Maybach“Manufaktur” logo – a double M inside an archedtriangle – adorns the C-pillars on both sides.

Modern luxury in lounge-style.In the interior of the Mercedes-Maybach S-Class,passengers are enveloped in lounge-style,modern luxury. With its clear architecture, refinedmaterials and stylish controls, the vehicleembodies a sensuous elegance. The Exclusivetrim package, which is fied as standard,increases the sense of perceived value stillfurther, particularly in the rear of the vehicle.Sensuously curved, fine-wood trim with ahandcraed feel surrounds the entire rearseating system. The seat-back lining, doors andnozzle coverings are resplendent in fine wood.For an exclusive look, the front centre armrestswith nappa leather or exclusive nappa leatherupholstery feature embossed Maybach crests.Another special feature in the dashboard is theanalogue clock with an IWC design.

Luxury featuresThe Mercedes-Maybach S-Class contains all theamenities of the conventional S-Class, a numberof exclusive interior touches underscore theMercedes-Maybach S-Class’s ambition to lead.These include the exclusive optional Maybachperfume AGARWOOD for fragrancing as part ofthe AIR-BALANCE package and two silver-plated,handcraed champagne flutes. The Burmester®high-end 3D surround sound system offers aunique optical and acoustic experience. As avisual highlight, the tweeters in the rear doors ofthe Mercedes-Maybach S-Class are particularlysophisticated and can also be moved towards thepassengers in a spiral motion.

for more comfortEASY ADJUST luxury head restraints come asstandard for the driver and passenger, and the oneon the front-passenger side is folding. For the rearpassenger, the Chauffeur package also includes aheel support, which extends from under the frontpassenger seat. This allows a reclined position thatsets new standards in the automotive sector withrespect to sleeping and resting comfort.

Like an aircra seat, the center console is availablewith two tables which can be easily folded in or outusing one hand. The table surfaces have leatherinserts to provide a comfortable writing surface.

Aeroacoustics: in the back of the world’squietest production saloon.Inside the Mercedes-Maybach S-Class, the levelof wind noise is impressively low and, despite thelarge windows, beers even the quietest car inthe world – the S-Class Coupé. For passengers inthe rear, the Mercedes-Maybach S-Class is theworld’s quietest production saloon car. Extensivemeasurements were also taken in experimentalvehicles considering the fully reclined position inthe rear. That is because positioning thepassenger away from the side windows andtowards the rear window and triangular windowscreates a new acoustic situation. Special sealsoptimize the noise insulation, thereby ensuringexcellent aeroacoustic performance in the rear.These include seals over the C joints in the reardoors, which have a hose profile rather than theusual lip seal, as well as bonded triangularwindows with a special seal.

PAGANI HUAYRAITALIAN HYPERCAR

The concept was born in 2003, the year of theintroduction of the Zonda S Roadster.The early2000s were prosperous for the world ofsupercars. The commitment of big carmanufacturers have contributed to the rise ofextraordinary cars like the Bugai Veyron,Porsche Carrera GT, Ferrari Enzo, MercedesMcLaren SLR.

This context led the team to make severalobservations concerning the future of the Zonda

and what could be a new Pagani. Since the originaldesign of the Zonda was done in the early 90s thefirst thought was that it was now an obsoleteproject and we decided to imagine the car totallydifferent in form, dimension, dynamics andtechnology, all this without losing the essence oftheir approach, to follow a concept born in theRenaissance where Leonardo da Vinci told us thatart and science are disciplines that need to walkalongside. The eternal element air in all its forms,especially wind, became determining in defining

ITALIAN HYPERCAR

the concept and it was a great inspiration, as it isever present in our lives: a jet turbine, the silenceof a glider... the elegance of the wind movementsbut also the violence and force that it can unleash.

The Huayra is made of more than 4000components (engine and gearbox not included). Tocreate them and put them together requirescreativity, patience and passion that was sharedwith a fantastic young team and with the mostcompetent partner in all sectors.

In defining the size, they immediately thought of acar that would be longer than the Zonda, a trackincreased by 70 mm, a cabin position shied 40mm to the back and even more spacious. Thesilhouee should be so, easy to read and formitself from lean and sleek lines that have a clearbeginning and an end. During these five yearswthe best compromise was found working on 8scale models and 2 full scale models, as well ashundreds of drawings.



LUXURY CARS

The ideas were of including elliptical shapesreminding of our brand in the front and at theback, keeping the central exhaust as thecompletion of the line of the canopy, the linestarting at the headlight area that continues andends into the air intake. We also thought from thebeginning of active aerodynamics. Flaps that areactivated according to the study of resultsgathered through calculations and aerodynamictesting. The whole car is shaped as a wing so itwas necessary to create a high front to reduce thelength of the upper part of this wing to counteractli. The active suspension in the front and the 4flaps allow to optimally balance the dragcoefficient and downforce.

Mercedes-AMG has created a truly unique andlightweight engine, a twin turbo with 730 HP and1000 Nm of torque that perfectly complementsthe car giving a feeling that has motivated ourresearch: that of the brute force of an airplanetaking off.

The main focus was in a power delivery that was

linear and not with lag, because that couldpotentially create safety problems or acontinuous operation of electronic driving aids.Mercedes-AMG already 5 years ago thoughtabout the coming environmental restrictions bycreating a 12-cylinder engine that is at the peak ofefficiency in terms of CO2 and consumption.

Pirelli has created a very progressive tyre with aexceptional grip in all situations and with lowrolling friction. Every aspect of safety was treatedtaking into account the dynamic by which mostaccidents with high performance rear enginedcars occur.

While developing the C9 we witnessed theevolution of the different models of the Zondaand it showed us that the Zonda wasn’t obsoleteas I had originally feared. The Zonda R has been akey laboratory for the Huayra. The team was ableto work on many projects at the same time drivingon different tracks that occasionally came tomeet by sharing engineering concepts, materials,safety and scientific or design studies.

Horacio Pagani“ Building an object as complex and full of state ofthe art solutions such as the Huayra not only takesbrilliant minds, but real artists. We are fortunateto have technology leaders amongst our partners;redefining the limits, finding newsolutions,processes and technologies is wrien in theirDNA.

“ More than partners, I would say they aremembers of our family, sharing with Pagani thefundamental values, dreams and the passion. ThePagani Huayra is a testimony of this, anambassador of technological excellence for whohas contributed to transform a dream into reality.

“From the power, efficiency and reliability of theAMG power plant, the aluminium jewels carvedfrom a solid block by ASPA, the performance andsafety guaranteed by the combination of theBrembo CCM brakes and the Pirelli P Zero™ tires,the feather light exhaust system in Titanium andInconel by MHG, to the creation of interiors insustainable leather by the Dani Group.”

BENTLEY’S MULSANNE SPEEDTHE WORLD’S FASTEST ULTRA-LUXURY DRIVING EXPERIENCE

LUXURY CARS

Unique Sports StylingThe new, wide front grille houses dark tint matrixbrightware, a theme carried through to the Bentley‘B’ wing vents and even the new dark tint lamps.Drilled alloy sports foot pedals and a knurled sportsgear lever bring Bentley’s racing heritage to mind, asyou sit in its newly designed diamond quilted seats.

Phenomenal PerformanceUltimately, the Mulsanne Speed is all aboutperformance. A re-engineered 6¾ litre twin-turbocharged V8 engine propels it to 60 mph in just4.8 seconds (100 km/h in 4.9 seconds) and aphenomenal top speed of 190 mph (305 km/h), thegear changes almost imperceptible, thanks to its 8-speed automatic transmission.

A Car for the Driver - and the DrivenThe new Mulsanne Speed is much more than just apowerhouse. It is a car for those who prefer to takethe wheel themselves; those who insist on being incontrol. The word ‘Speed’ is engraved on thetreadplates, greeting you on entry with an indicationof the performance to come.

The Darker Side of LuxuryBrightware is the name Bentley gives to the polishedchrome exterior details that adorn most of thecompany’s cars. But on the new Mulsanne Speed,bright gives way to darkness, the polished dark tintdetails lending this Mulsanne a decidedly meanerappearance. The new Speed wing vents and thematrix grille that sits behind the new vertical vanesare recipients of this finish, as are the headlampsand the Bentley ‘B’ rear lamps – the laer being, formany fellow road users, their most enduring memoryof the new Mulsanne Speed.

Inimitable Interior DesignAs the Mulsanne’s most sport-focusedinterpretation, the cabin of the new Mulsanne Speedis unmistakable. The hand-stitched leather hides

feature a unique Speed colour split, which can becommissioned in numerous combinations. Diamondquilting can be seen across every seat and each ofthe four interior door panels, while the fourheadrests feature hand-embroidered Bentleyemblems – which, again, can be commissioned in thecolour of your choice.

Details Inspired by the TrackWherever you look in the new Mulsanne Speed, you’llsee fine details that evoke Bentley’s long history ofsuccess on the track. Drilled alloy sports foot pedalsand a knurled sports gear lever lend a dynamic edgeto the opulence of the car’s handcraed interior,while thoughtful touches abound, such as knurledchrome surfaces to prevent fingers from slipping onthe organ stop air vents and a coined finish on theinsides of the door handles. They may be hiddenfrom view, but to the crasmen and women at theBentley factory, every detail maers, however small.

Advanced VisionNew all-LED headlamps, repositioned for a sleek,contemporary look, feature a wealth of assistivetechnology. Built-in light sensors and GPSintegration enable them to automatically select fromfour different light modes, optimised for driving intown, in the country, on the motorway or insituations where you simply needmaximum illumination.

Safe HavenThe new Mulsanne Speed, likethe other cars in the range,features new curtain airbagsconcealed in the roof, foradded passenger safety in theevent of a collision.

BAC MONOLUXURY SUPERCARS

Aimed at drivers who seek a purist drivingexperience and for whom design, engineeringexcellence and performance are of paramountimportance, Mono is an aggressive design and willset a new benchmark in the small, but elitesegment of radical, lightweight sports cars.

DesignThe single central-seat gave our designers andproject engineers the ultimate blank canvas onwhich to assemble their dream. The organic,enclosed front and exposed mechanical reartypifies the unique appearance of Mono. Thedesign aesthetic is intended to combine sculpted,sleek, organic forms to provide an emotional,human connection juxtaposing the technical,mechanical elements of the car.

While this vision runs throughout Mono'sappearance it was fundamental to our designersthat form follow function on all aspects of the car.The necessity to gain access to the central drivingposition and adjustable dampers as well asproviding clean airflow to the radiators and engineare just some of the factors on which Mono'sarchitecture is built.

TechnicalAbove all else Mono has been designed tooptimise the driving position – in the middle,central to the wheels, and the balance of the car.

Mono is constructed using high-strength carbonfibre composite around a steel safety cell. The cellis designed to offer maximum safety featuring aFIA compliant steel rollover structure, asophisticated side impact structure and a frontcarbon crashbox.

Powering Mono is a longitudinally mounted 2.3litre, 280 bhp four cylinder power plant providedby Cosworth. Coupled to that engine is an F-3 spec6-speed sequential gearbox from Hewland.

THE NEW 911TArGA 4S

Yet again, everything comes back into play. It’sabout a new benchmark. A sports car that has onlyever existed once in this form. That has been asource of fascination for generations. And isfirmly anchored in our heart and soul. It’s aboutthe future of the 911.

We are always looking forward. Not sideways,never back. We don’t want to rest on the laurels ofour past, no maer how illustrious it may be.All the racing victories. The dreams. Our fans.Thousands of ideas. We hold them in our hearts.

But we start from scratch. And we will giveeverything we’ve got. We will go on the aack, toget even beer. And we will fight, to defend our

lead. With one single goal: to create the next 911,one that can do more, deliver more and consumeless than ever before. A sports car as beautifulnow as it was on day one.

That is our tradition. And our future. We will give itour all. For the best 911 of all times: the new 911.

At Porsche, there are no conventions. Forbiddingfree thought? That’s forbidden. The only thing thatmaers is this question: how can we become evenbeer? Let’s put it another way: can we redefinethe limits of engineering? Can we reconcileapparent contradictions? Yes, we can. WithIntelligent Performance.

THE NEW 911TArGA 4S

The new 911 answers questions about the futureof the sports car with a quantum leap inperformance. By reducing fuel consumption, butnot by suppressing emotions. By following aprinciple that has already changed everythingonce before: in 1974, with the first 911 Turbo.

Developed completely from scratch, the six-cylinder twin-turbo engines of the 911 Carrera andTarga 4 models with a displacement of 3.0 litresembrace this principle and perfect it in aforwardlooking way.

The stand-out qualities of the new twinturboengines are their extraordinarily directresponsiveness and wide torque plateau, reachedearly in the low end of the rpm band. Combinedwith the high rev limit – and the legendary soundof a 911 six-cylinder horizontally opposed engine.In short: excellent performance that feeds back tothe driver in an instant.

The Bugai Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport is theroadster version of the Veyron 16.4. The name“Grand Sport” recalls two of the most beautifulmodels in the Bugai brand’s history: the Type 40and Type 43 from the late 20s and early 30s, whichwere the first models to be given the moniker“Grand Sport” by Eore and Jean Bugai. Theseroadsters were the ultimate sports cars of theirday.

The Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport combines thepioneering performance specs of the Veyroncoupé with the alluring form of a roadster – and

takes the experience of open-top driving in asupercar into a new dimension. In addition, thetransparent roof allows drivers to directlyexperience their surroundings, even when the roofis up. Whether you are cruising elegantly orpushing the car to the limits of its power, withspeeds of up to 360 km/h with the roof down and407 km/h with the roof up, you are guaranteed anabsolutely thrilling driver experience and apowerful adrenaline rush.

BUGATTI VGRAND SPO



The Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport celebrated its worldpremiere in summer 2006 in Pebble Beach,California, where the first model was auctionedfor over three million US dollars.

Bugai wanted to design a roadster thatredefined the technical limits of automotiveengineering while also appealing to connoisseursof aesthetic design and lovers of unique cars. The designers combined their creative finessewith the technical expertise of the engineers toachieve a perfect balance of luxurious eleganceand superlative technical performance.

Consequently, the design of the Veyron 16.4Grand Sport embodies a timeless excellence thatmakes it a worthy successor to Eore Bugai’sGrand Sport models from the late 1920s.

The Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport is completely soldout.

Quilted napa leatherThe Grand Sport only uses top-quality napaleather that has been carefully processed so as toretain its natural breathability. Based on historicmodels, the leather seat covers have been quiltedusing a method that has been reinterpreted foruse in a modern car. The paern symbolises anacceleration curve.

The moisture-repellent leather allows the GrandSport to meet the very highest of expectationsfor an open-top sports car. The result is aminimalist aesthetic – form and function inperfect harmony.

MonocoQueThe unique structure of the Bugai Veyron 16.4Grand Sport made it especially challenging todesign the removable roof module for the newversion. The passenger compartment, designedas a monocoque, perfectly combines high rigidityand extremely low weight. It is the central elementof the vehicle structure. Removing the roof takesaway an integral component of this structure,meaning the load path had to be redefined inorder to retain the high rigidity and crash safety,including side impact and rollover protection.Consequently, the monocoque was reinforcedalong the sills and transmission tunnel.



air scoopsA characteristic feature of the Grand Sport arethe two air scoops on the le and right of thebonnet (which are redesigned for the Vitesse).These air scoops serve two functions in theroadster: firstly, they provide air intake for theengine and secondly, they are an elegantlyintegrated component of the rollover protectionsystem.

Just like the Super Sport, the Vitesse uses a full-carbon monocoque which enables an extremelyhigh torsional rigidity of 22,000 Nm per degreewith maximum passive safety. The exterior is alsomade completely of carbon fibre.
