The Ghost, promising a smaller dose of English luxury, was made to fit tighter parking spots and days where your chauffeur takes an off. It’s a pure driver’s car, instead of a back-seat-focused luxury wagon like the Phantom. Rolls-Royce has paid attention to sound-proofing. They’ve engineered power assistance into the door-opening system along with 100 kgs of acoustic damping materials all through the insides, giving it the quietest luxury cabin in the business.
Eever since its triple win at the 2019 World Car Awards, where it was crowned the World Car of the Year, World Car Design of the Year, and World Green Car, we knew there’s something special about this one. While JLR aim to go fully electric very soon, the Jaguar I-Pace will be its first stride in Indian markets. The I-Pace recently made a debut in India and here’s all about it.
The Taycan, currently spearheading the global luxury EV industry is finally ready for Indian streets. We have really high expectations from the Taycan and it can truly be a cornerstone model for Porsche as well as for tomorrow’s EV world. There’s no other name in the business that’s promising sustainability and suave like the Taycan is.
It’s finally here, the 2021 Aston Martin DBS Superleggera is a luxury sports car with much style to spare. Superleggera which translates to “superlight” in Italian, but there’s nothing light about this grand tourer. Under its sculpted hood is a 715-horsepower V-12 engine which can propel the DBS Superleggera on to a 211-mph top speed. While the car is already available in other countries, it will be reaching India this year.
The 2021 BMW M3 aims to resurrect the nameplate’s storied driver engagement and they’re very much successful. The new M3 features a twin-turbo 3.0-liter inline-six that will be available in two states of tune, making 473 and 503-horsepower. However, the latter is reserved for the Competition model which, as the name suggests, is sportier. The M3 is be a pure driver’s car with a serious punch of horsepower.
Whenever we see those four German rings together, we know we can expect unmatched automobile excellence. The Audi e-Tron GT, a true spectacle of electric efficiency, sporty grunge and a touch of tomorrow, will be making an on-road debut this year. We’re certainly excited to see this one make a debut as it’s spearheading the brand’s electric division and possibly, the entire brand tomorrow.
After 16 long years, the house of Maserati unveiled a supercar. The MC20 is Fiat Chrysler’s efforts in bringing the Italian auto luxury vehicle manufacturer back in the spotlight of racing and performance. Interestingly, the MC20 has a bold Maserati front, but the rest of the body looks much like a McLaren from the early 2000s. This will be a true spectacle for Maserati this year.
Before the Cybertruck and the Model X, there was one car that cemented Tesla’s name in the electric luxury motoring market.

The Roadster is also responsible for creating the ‘Performance Electric Luxury Vehicle’ genre we know today and we’re certainly looking for it to touch ground this year.
Sián, thunderbolt in Bologna’s dialect, is a name that perfectly augments the elementary of his vehicle – speed, might and direction. In case you’re wondering, Lamborghini has zero intent on compromising on its engine roar and going electric doesn’t mean going unnoticed, which is why the Italian’s have loaded their most powerful engine ever into the Sián. With a ground-rumbling 785-horsepower naturally aspirated V-12. By the looks of it, the Sián might be super exclusive to actually get your hands on though.
