A redesigned sports leather steering wheel with multifunction buttons will in future be part of the standard equipment of all model variants of the MINI 3-door, MINI 5-door and MINI Convertible. A new structure for the keypads optimizes operation of the audio and telephone functions, voice control and driver assistance systems. A particularly high-quality variant of the sports leather steering wheel is part of the John Cooper Works Trim, MINI Yours Trim and MINI Electric Trim equipment packages. It features a nappa leather surface and larger thumb rests. For the first time, steering wheel heating is also available as an optional extra for MINI's small car models. Part of the Connected Media option is a multifunctional instrument display behind the steering wheel. Standard in the MINI Cooper SE, the digital color display in black panel design has a diameter of 5.0 inches and presents all driving-relevant information as well as check-control messages and status displays for the driver assistance systems. In the all-electric MINI, it also serves as a charging status display while connected to the power grid.

All-new Volkswagen Golf GTI Design in Studio

10 November 2020 102 Views

A car becomes an icon when its design DNA and character remain recognisable for decades. It is also important for an icon to provide fresh ideas in order to cope with the challenges of our time. Just like the VW Golf GTI. For 44 years, Volkswagen has been reinventing this icon of sporty, compact cars while retaining the original concept - generation after generation. The eighth reinterpretation of the Golf GTI is now celebrating its debut. Newly designed and engineered - fully digitalised and networked. A Golf GTI that is fit for the modern era. The Golf Mk1 from 1976 has long evolved into a vehicle family. This was followed in 1982 by the first Golf GTD with a turbocharged diesel engine, and in 2014 by the first Golf GTE to feature plug-in hybrid drive. And so it stands to reason that a new Golf GTD and a new Golf GTE are celebrating their world premières alongside the new VW Golf GTI. Three Golf variants, three characters, three efficient and clean drive systems - but one design and specification philosophy.

Alfa Romeo Tonale Media Drive Design

24 June 2022 76 Views

The Tonale’s power makes its debut on the road in Tempio Voltiano, the celebrated location of Alessandro Volta’s inventions in the beautiful setting of Lake Como. A symbolic location to highlight the brand’s “metamorphosis”, it was here more than 200 years ago that the Italian scientist created his most famous invention: the battery, the first generator of dynamic electricity. A scientific landmark in modern history, this instrument allows our technological civilization to function. A precursor to the concept of sustainability, Alessandro Volta obsessively studied nature in order to replicate it for the benefit of humanity. This innovative approach, which is fully embraced by Alfa Romeo, demonstrates how, with its “mechanical creations”, sustainable technological development must imitate nature and take inspiration from it in order to adapt and live in harmony with it. Therefore, the Italian brand’s latest chapter couldn’t help but begin in Tempio Voltiano. With Tonale, Alfa Romeo has radically evolved and launched itself into a new, technological, sustainable and electrified era. The Tonale’s road capabilities are clear. The technology and connectivity on board make it the most technological Alfa Romeo to date. It combines quality and attention-to-detail with dynamic features to reinvent sportiness in the 21st century.
