When we were doing the first shoot at The Regent in Hong Kong, the Rolls-Royce swung into view and the model said, matter of fact, "No one's going to look at me - they'll all be looking at the car."

As Porsche celebrates the 60th anniversary of the Targa model, a trifecta of new offerings are in store, encapsulating the brand’s relentless pursuit of perfection and marrying cutting-edge technology with timeless design. With the introduction of the 911 Carrera 4S, alongside the Cabriolet and Targa 4S variants, the storied marque not only pays homage to its illustrious past but also boldly strides into the future.
At the heart of the new 911 Carrera 4S models lies a potent 3.0-litre twin-turbocharged six-cylinder boxer engine, now delivering an exhilarating 480 PS. This represents a significant leap in power, with an increase of 30 PS over its predecessor. The enhanced performance is attributed to an optimised intercooler system, a design borrowed from the revered 911 Turbo, ensuring that the driving experience is about speed and emotional engagement. The all-wheel-drive system—a hallmark of Porsche’s engineering prowess—provides exceptional traction, particularly in adverse weather conditions, instilling confidence on even the most challenging roads.

When the covers came off the new McLaren Artura Spider in Hong Kong, the high-performance, dream-machine convertible’s presence was nothing short of a thrill that only supercars can ignite, especially from such a stellar marquee. While the familiar sculpted lines and signature styling cues of the Artura coupé are all present, the addition of the retractable hard-top roof and accompanying design elements lend the Spider a distinct colourful character that’s all its own.
As expected, this is no mere sun-seeking variant—the Spider was engineered from the ground up to deliver the same dynamic prowess as its fixed-roof counterpart, with the added exhilaration of open-air driving. No wonder it was a top contender for Robb Report’s Car of the Year.

Lightyear paves the way for clean, uninterrupted travel with the launch of its first solar-powered vehicle: Lightyear 0.
Earlier in 2022, a feature written by a popular writer and car enthusiast went viral as she bemoaned the tedium of constantly charging her electric car on a four-day road trip, as she “spent more time charging than sleeping”. That head-shaking beamed around the planet at lightning speed – but was halted by vehicle start-up Lightyear, a high-tech company based in Netherlands, which for the past six years has been developing the world’s first solar car: the Lightyear 0.

Drivers Lab pairs an immersive experience with real-world data and professional coaching.
Last autumn, Robb Report Hong Kong got wind from former professional racing drivers Dan Wells and Oscar Lee that they had teamed up to create Drivers Lab in Dubai, a hyper-realistic racing simulation centre like no other. It seemed like a fine idea, but haven’t we seen similar simulation services before? Upon launch, however, it became clear that Wells and Lee were onto a winner, as an influx of professional race-car drivers flocked to Drivers Lab, heaping positive feedback. Our attention raced all the way there, too, to see what the noise was all about.

For the latest edition of Leaders of Luxury, I had the opportunity to sit with motoring royalty, a man who needs little introduction as his name is eponymous with the masterful hypercar he created: Horacio Pagani.
His legend was built on just three cars: the Zonda (the first car he produced in 1992), the Huayra, and Utopia. Each car has been listed among the best of the best in luxury automobiles, year after year, decade after decade.
