Ferrari 296 GTB
In June 2021, Ferrari announced their new mid-engined model – the Ferrari 296 GTB. Re-defining the fun of driving for luxury car enthusiasts, it comes as a complementary model alongside the F8 Tributo. With the increased research and development into electric vehicles, this model enters as the signature marque’s first mainstream electrified offering. The design stays true to that expected of Ferrari sports cars, with the name itself drawing inspiration from the engine that established itself on the track back in the 1950s. A V6 engine sits at the heart of this plug-in and hybrid model – fully designed and customized in-house by Ferrari. This will give you 645bhp behind you, making soaring throughout the streets easy and undeniably enjoyable.
Other features, such as a newly located engine, improve the centre of balance and work to maximize intake efficiency. The engine may be smaller but it is, by no means, quieter. The marque has promised the same audible power as the V12 – a feature that is sure to get you noticed. A compact 7.45kWh battery pack reduces bulk while the reduced car wheelbase down to 50mm has been said to significantly improve cornering ability too. Prices are expected to start at around £230,000 and the launch has been announced for Q1 of 2022.

Ferrari Purosangue
Chasing space and comfort will be a key focus in 2022, merging together the prestige of luxury car design with the practicality to carry everything we need. The Ferrari Purosangue is due to enter the scene in 2022 as the Italian automatic manufacturer’s first SUV model. While challenging other prestigious models in this category, the silhouette is unlikely to take on a traditionally high body. From sitings released to the press, it looks as if this newer vehicle will sit closer to the ground to improve aerodynamics with a longer bonnet that curves down towards the front. The expectation is that a customisable in-built air suspension to adjust ride hide according to the terrain in front while maintaining the importance of comfort at all times.
The shots of this exciting vehicle have caused experts to speculate that a more conveniently placed engine will improve weight distribution, moving further back into the model and improving the overall drive. Ferrari themselves have announced that the Purosangue will utilize the same bespoke platform as their previously launched Roma GT. The suggestions post a potential for V6, V8 and V12 engines with the additional option of plug-in hybrid powertrains to help edge the brand further into the electrified market. An exciting addition to the supercar market and an even more thrilling option for embracing opulent SUV options.
2022 Range Rover
Finally, in November 2021, Range Rover announced the arrival of a newly revamped model in Los Angeles. The long-awaited fifth-generation of their full-sized model, this flagship vehicle is the product of over 7 million hours of testing over a 5 year period. It has been hailed as the marque’s latest addition to their electrified line-up, standing alongside their dedication to significantly reduce emissions 2036. With both standard and long-wheelbase options due to become available, the model will hold on to those distinctive lines that have made it so iconic within the luxury car hire market.
The vehicle will have Land Rover’s new signature marking – a solid gloss-black panel stretching across the entire rear and accommodating brake lights and indicators in total. Newly developed tail lights with powerful new LEDs improve visibility for other drivers and prioritise safety too. The new Jaguar Land Rover MLA ‘Flex’ architecture will also feature, improving torsional stiffness by 50% and cutting structure-borne noise by 24%. A body crafted from aluminium with steel elements muffles external driving noise and improves safety at the same time. An entry into the SUV market that has been much-anticipated and paves the way for luxurious electrical power on our roads.
