The event will take place at the Royal Hospital Chelsea, London, from 20-22 April 2023.

Justin Lunny, CEO of Everrati, said that the company is thrilled to be showcasing its electric redefined Porsche 911 Cabriolet and GT40 at Salon Privé London. Everrati’s electric redefined Porsche 911 (964) Cabriolet combines open-top zero-emission motoring with iconic design, offering a unique experience with thrilling performance and clean air. The 964 Wide Body Cabriolet is available in 440bhp or 500bhp forms, with the latter having a total driving range of 200 miles thanks to its 62kWh battery.

Everrati’s Wide Body Cabriolet has been extensively engineered at its global headquarters in Oxfordshire, England, combining best-in-class restoration alongside OEM levels of engineering and sector-leading IP, blended with technology from the best Tier 1 automotive suppliers. In addition to Europe, the company’s key market is North America, where it has a partnership with Aria Group. The arrangement enables Everrati to offer its 964 range on both sides of the Atlantic.

Everrati’s fully electric GT40 supercar, which utilizes the same family of high-performance eMotors as the Lotus Evija hypercar, generates up to 800bhp, 800Nm of torque, and 0-62mph acceleration in under four seconds. The interior of the car has been masterfully upholstered with luxury Bridge of Weir leather and retrimmed to the highest quality. The company partnered with Superformance to precision re-engineer the legendary Le Mans-winning car with a custom-designed electric drivetrain for a zero-emissions future. Superformance is a global leader in the manufacture of 1960s-era continuation component sports cars and produces a rolling chassis for the GT40 built under license. As a result, it is the world’s only GT40 EV listed in the official Shelby Registry.

Ferrari Claims Two Awards at the Car Design Award 2023 Milan.

Ferrari has emerged as a winner of two esteemed awards at the Car Design Award 2023. The Ferrari Purosangue has been declared the Best Production Car of 2023 by an international jury of 11 experts, while the Ferrari Styling Centre has been awarded the Best Brand Design Language. Auto&Design, an Italian magazine, established the Car Design Award in 1984 to honor designs that have made a significant contribution to the development of car design.

The jury praised the Ferrari Purosangue’s remarkable proportions, making it appear smaller than it actually is, and its top-ranking accessibility, occupant space, and comfort. The car’s door-opening system, which is both aesthetically captivating and elaborate, also contributed to the car’s success in the Production Car category.

In addition, the Ferrari Styling Centre team, led by Flavio Manzoni, won the Brand Design Language category, which recognizes the consistency and transversality of a brand’s formal language across its entire product range. Flavio Manzoni, Ferrari’s Chief Design Officer, said the awards would motivate the team to continue seeking innovative inspiration.

The Ferrari Purosangue, a versatile car that blends unparalleled comfort with Ferrari’s signature driving thrills, was praised for its sleek, athletic exterior that distinguishes it from other four-door, four-seater cars. The car’s luxurious cabin offers an exceptionally comfortable on-board experience, making it the first Ferrari four-seater with the necessary volumes to accommodate all passengers comfortably. The car has also created a new segment that has allowed Maranello to explore unprecedented new scenarios.

China’s premier electric vehicle brand, HiPhi, has announced the HiPhi Y as the third model in its advanced lineup, alongside its initial plans for global expansion.

The HiPhi Y will be added to the flagship models, the X and Z, and the first HiPhi cars are expected to hit European roads by 2023, followed by the Middle East. HiPhi has already confirmed Munich, Germany, and Oslo, Norway, as the locations of its first HiPhi Hubs, or showrooms. These new experience centers will operate alongside a new global HiPhi website and upcoming HiPhi app.

The HiPhi X Super SUV has already received European Union Individual Vehicle Approval, and the HiPhi Z Digital GT is set to follow soon. Both vehicles will be sold in key European markets as a first step into markets outside of China. The HiPhi X is already the best-selling luxury EV domestically. It boasts a number of world and industry-firsts, such as an intelligent automatic door system with wings. The HiPhi Z, meanwhile, features the HiPhi Bot, a robotic arm holding an infotainment screen with four degrees of freedom and eight-direction high-speed motion. Both models use advanced battery technology and efficient motors to offer more than 600km of all-electric range (CLTC).

Orders for the HiPhi X and Z will be live soon in Europe, with the first customer deliveries expected before the end of the year. The HiPhi Y will mark an acceleration in volumes and a broader expansion into Europe. Fully designed and engineered with global markets in mind, the first customer orders for HiPhi Y will be taken by the end of 2023, with deliveries expected in Europe by 2024. HiPhi Founder, Chairman, and CEO David Ding said that HiPhi is committed to building a global high-end brand from China, and that the European and Middle Eastern markets will be the focus of their first wave of expansion.
