The Cup Racer will be joined on the SEAT stand by five more, extremely fiery and individually equipped versions of the Ibiza and Leon models.

Wenger Squadron Lady Watch

The new Squadron Lady by Wenger makes its mark with a mix of cosmopolitan city chic and sports-inspired style. The brushed and polished steel case is dominated by the notched bezel while the dial is in white mother-of-pearl or black lacquer. Wenger takes full advantage of the silicon bracelet, in pink or black, to imagine an eye-catching combination or something more low-key. Whether bold and bright, fluorescent even, or all-over black, except for the hint of pink in the hour-markers, the Squadron Lady is 36 mm of fashion-forward style. Resolutely modern, its three hands and date put new life into the measure of time.

Lamborghini Egoista Walter De Silva's homage for Lamborghini's 50th anniversary

An emotional moment in Sant’Agata Bolognese celebrating Lamborghini's 50th anniversary: Walter De Silva's incredible vehicle made its entry in front of a thousand invitees, the Head of Design for the Volkswagen Group's homage to celebrating the House of the Raging Bull's half century. “I am very attached to this Italian brand, being an Italian myself. I wanted to pay homage to and think up a vehicle to underline the fact that Lamborghinis have always been made with passion, and with the heart more than the head,” said an emotional De Silva. Indeed the Egoista, as the vehicle has been christened, is a car forged from a passion for innovation and alternative solutions, the same passion which has always set the Lamborghini brand apart. “This is a car made for one person only, to allow them to have fun and express their personality to the maximum. It is designed purely for hyper-sophisticated people who want only the most extreme and special things in the world. It represents hedonism taken to the extreme, it is a car without compromises, in a word: egoista (selfish),” De Silva further explained.

Vulcain 50s Presidents’ Watch

Few models can claim to find their way through history on the wrist of statesmen, as is the case with the Vulcain 50s Presidents’ Watch. Equipped with the legendary Vulcain Cricket V-11 calibre, a hand-wound alarm movement, it appears in new steel versions featuring a silver-toned, charcoal grey or smoky grey dial featuring a central guilloché pattern. “The watch of presidents since the 1950s” maintains its original characteristics including a dial curved at either end and bearing applied hour-markers Arabic numerals, as well as Dauphine hands. This model is fitted with a domed sapphire crystal and a sapphire-crystal caseback enhanced with the stylised “V” for Vulcain. The Cricket V-11 movement contributes to the enduring legend with its alarm function that has been steadily forging the brand’s reputation for over 60 years.

New Porsche 911 Turbo raises the bar

911 Turbo sets new reference values for dynamics and fuel consumption
The Porsche model offensive in the anniversary year of the 911 is reaching new heights. 50 years ago, the 911 made its debut at the Frankfurt International Auto Show. And just ten years later, the first 911 Turbo prototype was at the IAA. On this 40th anniversary Porsche is now presenting the new generation 911 Turbo and Turbo S – the technological and dynamic performance peak of the 911 series. New all-wheel drive, active rear axle steering, adaptive aerodynamics, full-LED headlights and the up to 560 hp flat six-cylinder engine with bi-turbo charging underscore the role of the new generation 911 Turbo as a circuit racing car, everyday car and technology platform. Playing an equally crucial role are the entirely new chassis in lightweight design with a 100 mm longer wheelbase and larger 20-inch wheels. The PDCC active anti-roll system, which is being offered for the first time in 911 Turbo models, increases dynamic performance even more. This system is standard equipment in the 911 Turbo S, as is the Sport Chrono Package with dynamic engine mounts and PCCB ceramic brakes; all of these features are also available as options in the 911 Turbo. The results: The new 911 Turbo S shortens the lap time for the North Loop of the Nürburgring to well under 7:30 minutes – naturally with standard production tyres. The standard sound symposer intensifies the driving experience; it transmits induction sounds of the turbo engine to the passenger compartment via a speaker diaphragm.

N.O.A Oro Nero Watch

This year, the Mammoth collection welcomes a highly exclusive 100-piece limited series named Oro Nero. The “oro” part of the name refers to the pink gold dial featuring a centre adorned with a delightful “chocolate-bar” type guilloché motif, as well as the pink gold inner bezel ring bearing the brand’s distinctive round hour-markers. Meanwhile the adjective “nero” denotes the dominant matt black shade of the case, crown, pushers and strap which creates a spectacular contrast with the dial.

Twizy Renault Sport F1 Concept: Improbable and spectacular

Renault has chosen the Twizy manufacturing plant in Valladolid, Spain, to present its new Twizy Renault Sport F1 concept car. This fun take on the brand’s electric urban compact features muscular styling and impressive performance credentials to serve as a bridge between the world of F1 technology and that of production cars.

Twizy Renault Sport F1 sits on the wheels of a single-seater race car and is equipped with a front splitter, side-pods, rear wing and a diffuser complete with an F1-style rain light which forcefully express the concept’s ties with motor racing’s premier category.

Bedat & Co Réf. 830.030.100 Watch

The new Référence 830.030.100 from Bedat & Co is the epitome of classical elegance and femininity. Its first lady's chronograph, this timepiece beautifully captures the company's values of horological mastery and artistic virtuosity. Its design is particularly attractive, with its opaline and guilloché dial, black Roman numerals including the brand's signature 8 symbolising prosperity and good fortune, thirty-minute counter and small seconds. The case is equally stunning. The polished steel bezel is set with diamonds, like stardust, that spill onto the crown cover. 52 stones in all bring opulent sparkle to this creation whose contemporary style elevates the measuring of short time, and which lends itself just as easily to casual wear as to special occasions.

Audi TT Ultra Quattro Concept sheds 300kg to sharpen its focus

Audi engineers are waging war on excess weight, and their latest victory is a TT 2.0 TFSI Coupe which has shed an incredible 300kg and gained a power upgrade to 310PS, giving it a 4.2-second 0-62mph sprint time and a top speed of over 170mph.

The TT ultra quattro concept is, as its name suggests, essentially a study developed for next month‘s annual gathering of Audi enthusiasts in Wörthersee, Germany, but it demonstrates how an intelligent mix of materials can bring about considerable weight savings even in existing series-production models. Work on the deployment of these materials could conceivably inform the development of future low-volume Audi model series.
