Cars

For those without the means to secure an ultra-exclusive G63 AMG 6x6 – or perhaps the need for a third axle – the G500 4×4² has arrived to fill the gap between that and the standard G-Wagon. Huge 22-inch wheels and extended Unimog-style wheel arches once again make an appearance, with the increased ground clearance allowing for impressive wading capabilities of around 3ft. Power comes from a 5.5-litre V8 with 422HP.

More than a facelift 

After all, style statements don’t come much bolder than a lemon-yellow Rolls-Royce convertible, a cherry-red Bristol or a V8-engined Range Rover...

This is probably one of the weirdest cars you’ve ever seen; it will also be one of the most aerodynamically efficient. In 1960, the newly rebranded Pininfarina (formerly Pinin Farina) was looking to modernise other aspects of the business, with one potential path leading towards a horizon of aerodynamic excellence. The Cambianese coachbuilder thus called on a wind-wizard professor from Turin Polytechnic, asking him to apply his knowledge from other aero-intensive fields to a practical, low-drag family saloon.
