Based in Bicester, Oxfordshire, TLCC has also previously collaborations with Bugatti, Aston Martin and Ferrari to produce scaled-down, battery-powered replicas of some of the world’s most iconic cars.

Thanks to electric quadricycle laws - and TLCC paying close attention to the rules when designing a replica of a 1920s race car - the scaled-down Bentley can be driven on the public roads." Forbes.

You might even have someone driving up front while you guys eat peeled grapes. And why shouldn’t you, in a vehicle whose MSRP is $348,500, $488,050 as tested? The world is harsh and the Ghost is soft and muted, a respite. But don’t let the calm fool you. Underneath its hood there is a Godzilla - a 6.75I V, Twin-Turbocharged 563 horsepower 12-cylinder engine mated to a 8-speed automatic gearbox."

I drove an early 718 Spyder when it launched a few years ago, and after I took an artist friend from Santa Barbara for a ride, he ran down to his Porsche dealer and bought the 718 Spyder’s fraternal twin, the Cayman GT4. Yes, this chassis with a big naturally aspirated 4-liter engine is so good that normally rational men throw cash on the table to own one. The 718 with 4-liter is my favorite Porsche."

• Arts & Crafts Story Behind Rolls-Royce Coachbuild La Rose Noire Droptail - "The Rosa Black Baccara has a distinct personality with deep burgundy-red velvety blooms on tall, elegant stems. It is the creation of the rose hybridizer Jacques Mouchotte who, alongside the French rose breeder Meilland, set out to cultivate a unique flower among fresh roses. They wanted a shade as close to black as possible, achieved using traditional breeding methods. Following much experimentation, Mouchotte found his perfect rose noir by crossing the two dark red hybrid teas, Celica and Fuego Negro. And in 2000, Black Baccara was born. So, it feels somewhat fitting that this rose, with so much thought, craft, and unique beauty, should inspire one of Rolls-Royce’s most artistic projects, La Rose Noire Droptail."

• Aston Martin DB12 Goldfinger Edition: An Homage To James Bond - "With the new Aston Martin DB12 Goldfinger Edition, Aston Martin is paying homage to not only James Bond, but to the Bond film many fans consider the best movie in the series. Goldfinger wasn’t just the first film to feature James Bond driving an Aston Martin, he was driving what many consider to be the defining 007 car - a 1964 Aston Martin DB5.

• Aston Martin DBX Review: Yes, An Aston SUV Really Does Make Sense - "Porsche faced criticism head-on 20 years ago when it revealed the Cayenne SUV, but that best-selling car is now the reason Porsche’s GT division has the resources to make some of the world’s greatest sports cars. Now Bentley, Lamborghini, and Rolls-Royce sell luxury SUVs in great numbers to help fund the rest of their business. Even Ferrari will do the same in 2022. 'I drove the DBX 200 miles from London to Huddersfield the previous day, and my lasting memory is how it shifts between being sports-car quick and luxury-limo comfortable. With the press of a button, the silent and smooth ride is firmed up, the steering made quicker and heavier, the throttle more responsive and the soundtrack far more aggressive. You probably won't turn the wick up all that often, but when you do the DBX feels entirely worthy of a car with an Aston Martin badge on the steering wheel.'"

The car is powered by a 998-horsepower hybrid powertrain comprising a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine and three electric motors. Aston says 999 examples will be built and that the latest set of images are of the final production car - not the prototype we all caught a glimpse of in the latest James Bond movie No Time To Die. Expected to cost in the region of $800,000 (plus options, of course), the carbon-tubbed Valhalla is the strongest sign yet that Aston Martin wants to take on the Ferraris, McLarens and Lamborghinis of this world. This is the first mid-engined car to be mass-produced by Aston, and although 999 units is still somewhat limited, it’s plenty more than the 150 bespoke Valkyrie coupes (plus 85 spiders and 40 track-only AMR Pros)."
