Already after the first drive with the new Volvo XC40, it was clear to us that the competition would be rightfully afraid of it. Fear of the fact that the XC40 is an extremely nice car in which the driver can feel the Swedish DNA in the design, materials used, minimalism, driving feeling and, of course, assistance and safety systems.
Does the title sound familiar? But what if we're not talking about you or your better half, but about a car that more and more Slovenians get excited about - year after year? Then that sounds just ideal. Let's check why!
The French do everything a little differently. They are a nation to be understood and known well. They have their own view of the world, which is very romantic in a special way. And so it is with their cars, which are known for their innovation and bold design. This is also why we invited Tomi Češek to join our company - a master chef and creator of excellent French sweets and bakery products, who spent part of his youth in France.
Audi, Airbus and Italdesign have joined forces to present the latest concept of transportation in the future. The concept includes a passenger capsule that can be attached to a motorized platform, and we also have a drone-like quadcopter for flying purposes.
At the presentation of the new products of the Porsche brand at the Geneva Motor Show, we all expected the most talk about the renewed Porsche 911 GT3 RS. This was not the case, as Porsche honestly surprised us and presented us with a completely new Porsche Mission E Cross Turismo concept.
The Bugatti Chiron has been with us for two years and it was only a matter of time before we could see its more aggressive version. The Bugatti Chiron Sport has no more power than the regular Chiron, but thanks to many improvements and lower weight, it can be noticeably more aggressive in corners.
Exactly a year ago, the poisonous Lamborghini Huracan Performante was presented at the Geneva Motor Show. This year's salon served up its even more stunning version, especially for those who are enthusiastic about convertibles. The Huracan Performante Spyder has shed some excess weight and ditched the roof, offering even more fun with the wind blowing and the beastly engine roaring.
With each new model, the Škoda brand is sharper to look at, and it is no different with the concept Škoda Vision X Concept. It indicates the design direction Škoda will take in the future. It sits on 20-inch wheels, which is typical of concept cars anyway. It has hooks that hide in the door, creating a smooth side profile. Add to that an extravagant and minimalistic interior with a large central screen and we already have a very attractive concept.
Whether sedan or SUV, all future Hyundai cars will borrow design cues from this extremely convincing concept. Hyundai Le Fil Rouge is a modern interpretation of the concept Hyundai Coupe from 1974, which was revived in the spirit of a new design mantra based on Sensuous Sportiness.
The Bentley Bentayga Hybrid combines all the luxury elements that we are used to from this brand, and adds ecological awareness to it. After the V8 version, we now have a plug-in hybrid, in addition to which you can think of a Phillipe Starck charger so that you don't "show" the design in your home and garage.
Polestar is a derivative of the Volvo brand, which, like other top brands, wants to offer more. Production of the Polestar 1 will begin in mid-2019, when the first customers should already get their hands on it. With this, the Swedes are returning to the game of prestigious coupes with a "big" Swedish coupe.
