This is the ICONIC Crease Breaker

The rear executive seat experience and the cabin ambience, material selection feels Modernly Rejuvenating. Interestingly Sunroof (Non Openable) blinds fold in forward direction, designed for more headroom at the back. Coming to the center console, it is definitely beautifully designed and looks Futuristically Elegant. The Crystal - Glass finish on the dashboard discreetly houses the Ambient lighting which is fascinatingly intuitive. In Sport Mode the ambient lighting lights up in the M Colors. The glass elements continues on the door trim and this theme is also implemented on the seat controls, gear selector & the iDrive controller. Its Interesting to note that it’s also a flat-bottomed wheel, something that BMW has typically stayed away from in the past. Overall love the implementation of design & skeletonized metal spokes. The All New 7 Series seems to have redefined this Highly Exclusive Luxury Mobility Segment like never before & makes the time on-board (Rear Seat + Driver's Seat) a truly rewarding experience.

Audi RS Q8 4.0L TFSI review

Bring the new built in color theme in this car that one should be able to change the exterior every day and change all the stuff like round handles, dash board, bring some new ideas every car is built by the same old stuff bring some change.

Maserati Levante

It has been with me for a few years and I have to say it's one of my favorite cars to drive around but again you have to be careful with it because Indian roads aren't that accessible. I love my car.

Audi RS Q8 First Drive Review

By Vikrant Singh04 Sep 2020

No, this is not an Audi Q8 in gothic makeup and a pair of heels too high. This is the genuine item that’s underlined by – too much power, too much torque, too much money, and too much fun! This is the Audi RS Q8.
