The Luxury Collection|Volume 8 Issue 4
Electrification is on the horizon and governing the automotive world towards an entirely different direction. However, an intriguing question remains as to how the behaviour of conventional cars that we have loved for ages changes with the age of electrified mobility.

Ferrari 296 GTB: DAWN OF A NEW ERA FOR THE PRANCING HORSE

For supercars, arguably, the most coveted genre of automobiles, the challenge is even greater since you have to capture the emotion with an entirely different canvas. One looks at the supercar with an entirely different perspective with the sound, acceleration and the overall driving experience taking centre stage over the act of merely covering distance from point A to B. In the world of supercars, Ferrari happens to be one of the most revered names and when they take their plunge towards electrification, the automotive world sits up and takes notice.

The SF90 Stradale was the start and the 296 GTB shows how electrification can be combined with raw emotion which a Ferrari ought to give to its driver. The 296 GTB is a plug-in hybrid supercar and gives a sense of versatility which never was seen or expected from this genre. You start the car in total silence and that is a good thing since the usual supercar flamboyance need not be on display all the time. The world has changed and a new supercar with some environmental conscience is indeed quite welcome.

BABY ROVER

The Range Rover Evoque has always been one good-looking car. It is compact and sharp, and manages to capture the essence of the big Rangie but in a smaller size. Now, for 2024, there's a bit of a makeover. The usual stuff- a style update and a spruced-up interior. What caught my eye is the new Autobiography trim, taking cues from its inspiration. But the one we're cruising in is the Dynamic SE, which turns things a bit more sporty.
