O.CT’s 19-inch alloys are £1,750 and carbon fibre engine bay accruements including engine, battery and air intake covers start at £263 each.

Earlier this week, we showed you the first live shots of Chinese automaker Geely’s new GE model, a three-seat luxury sedan unveiled at the Shanghai Motor Show. With its gigantic, upright waterfall grille, boxy proportions, Spirit of Ecstasy hood ornament, and LED starlight headliner, it didn’t take an enthusiast’s eye to see that Geely is openly aping the Rolls-Royce Phantom.
Understandably, that development hasn’t been sitting well with Rolls-Royce officials, who promptly got on the horn to their lawyers after clapping their eyes on the GE. While the British luxury firm has stopped short of saying they intend to sue, according to an article in the U.K. Telegraph, a Rolls-Royce spokesman admits “Rolls-Royce is currently keeping its options open and is in consultation with its legal advisers.”
At an estimated £30,000 - around $44k USD - for the GE, it could be argued that few are likely to confuse the two vehicles, but even still, critics argue that Roller would appear to have a compelling case that cars like the GE are not only intellectual property theft, but that they could also serve to erode brand equity of the genuine article.
The new sportier Ferrari 599 Fiorano HGTE (Handling GranTurismo Evoluzione) features stiffened and lowered suspension which can make the ride a touch more jittery over uneven road surfaces.
The new Ferrari 599 Fiorano HGTE costs £13,960 more than a regular 599, the new version can be identified by its bespoke 20 inch alloy wheels, black rear diffuser and mesh front grille.
It is still supple enough to rival other supercars, the Ferrari 599 Fiorano HGTE changes direction with ease and has immense grip around the tightest bends.
There is a new exhaust system which provides a more vocal engine, the engine is the same 612bhp V12 that is standard on the regular Ferrari 599 so no performance improvement but the F1 style paddleshift gearbox changes gear much faster.
The Ferrari 599 Fiorano HGTE is capable of 0-62mph in just 3.7 seconds and has a top speed of 200mph.
Inside the Ferrari 599 Fiorano HGTE there is extra carbonfibre trim and new leather and Alcantara sports seats. Prices start at £207,194 on the road.
