To celebrate the artistic roots of the brand, Bugatti has chosen the Academia di Brera in Milan as the stage for its launch event. This was the place where Carlo and Rembrandt Bugatti, father and brother of company founder Ettore, studied art and laid the foundations for their careers as a designer and artist.

The Collection Lines

“In our collection the brand’s heritage melds with a contemporary vision of the word ‘style’,” describes Massimiliano Ferrari. “We wanted it to show Ettore Bugatti’s philosophy as well as his technical and creative genius, manifested in two lines with a highly striking identity expressing extraordinary luxury and advanced technology. Each and every dress style, from sophisticated outerwear to leisure, is linked by the fil rouge – or better the “fil bleu”, honoring Bugatti’s historical color – of dynamic, extrovert, original luxury to create a lifestyle of rare beauty.”

Ettore Bugatti monogram line “EB”. Elegance, craftsmanship and outstanding design are the hallmarks of the Ettore Bugatti line, featuring the distinctive EB monogram (for Ettore Bugatti). The EB Collection was created to express Ettore Bugatti’s self-confident personality and way of living as well as the heritage of his iconic creations in terms of design codes and materials.

The nine layers of the tinted, exposed carbon fibre body, another strength of Bugatti engineering, are a key element in the design of these fashion pieces, together with the aerodynamic lines and cutting-edge materials used in modern Bugatti cars. This line talks about Bugatti’s expertise in using innovative materials, developing advanced technologies, power and excellence.

Tailor Made / Bespoke. The Tailor Made / Bespoke programme is dedicated to, and available for, Bugatti owners exclusively. All items will be made on request and by appointment only, featuring supreme, contemporary formalism and the best possible fabrics and precious materials in order to satisfy a very selective and exclusive club of international owners.

Photography LEICA M9-P “Hermés Edition”

A masterpiece of traditional craftsmanship Following the Leica MP and the Leica M7, this is the third in a line of premium special editions of the M-System to be created in collaboration with the well-known Parisian house Hermès.

The Leica M9-P ‘Edition Hermès’ is being offered as a strictly limited edition. The limited numbers, unique product design and premium finishing with numerous extras make this a truly special edition in every respect.

Craftsmanship of the highest degree The Leica M9-P ‘Edition Hermès’ represents the quintessence of a long-standing tradition of master craftsmanship at both Leica and Hermès. So it is only logical that the handcrafted leather supplied by Hermès for the trim of the camera should be applied by hand. Absolute precision is the guiding principle in the construction of this masterpiece.

Luxurious leather by Hermès The special limited edition Leica M9-P ‘Edition Hermès’ is extraordinary in every respect.

The highlight is its ‘Veau Swift’ calfskin in ocre, supplied by Hermès for the leather finish of the Leica M9-P camera. This exclusive leather trim by Hermès determines the colour concept of the special edition and ensures a perfect tactile sensation. The fine and supple leather is applied not only to the camera body, but is also used for the shoulder strap included in the set.

Unmistakeable design In collaboration with automotive designer Walter de’Silva, selected features of the camera body were restyled, including the top and base plates, the shutter speed dial, the multifunction wheel and the shutter release. In addition, the frame selector lever, the accessory shoe and the Leica script on the upper face of the top plate have also been omitted to further emphasise the unique status of this limited edition. The camera is finished in silver chrome and its lens in anodised silver. In another true master stroke of the Leica factory, the two finishes are absolutely indistinguishable. All protective caps are also manufactured completely in metal.

“The journey starts” – the “essence” of Palazzo Arzaga.

It is nestled in the lush Morenic hills surrounding Lake Garda. Thanks to its geographic position, this hidden corner of Lombardy had preserved the Court of “Arzaga” and the Drugolo Castle, which in XII Cent. formed one single estate.

‘Drugolo’ and ‘Arzaga’ are terms of Indo-European origin more understandable to us respectively in their Greek and Latin derivation. In Greek ‘Drus’ means oaks; Arzaga comes from the contraction of the Latin word ‘Ariciagus’ that might have the meaning of either “village of the oaks” or “the hill of the elects”. The etymology of those terms make us think that the first inhabitants of the area were the Celts, who happened to be subdued by Romans around the 1st Cent. b.C. The privileged site were Drugolo and Arzaga were erected played a strategic role for centuries for the defence of Lake Garda.

In 1963, after 5 centuries of neglect and several ownerships,the family Lanni della Quara reunited Drugolo and Arzaga into one estate as it was in the past. The prestigious elegance of architectures, the luscious woods, the green of grasses, and last but not least the spirit of Celts that one can still perceive. These are just few elements that make Arzaga such an exclusive Place.

When history meets style…

Nowadays Palazzo Arzaga is a luxury hotel rich in works of art, it is an icon of elegance and synonymous of “the art of welcoming”: the style that comes from the traditional Italian hospitality, discerned worldwide.

The art of hospitality The attention to details and the courtesy of the staff had distinguished Palazzo Arzaga for years. The perfect match between “hospitality and luxury”.

All hotel rooms have been carefully furnished with objects of art and they feature a cosy and tasteful atmosphere. Modern life and its fast pace challenges one’s physical and mental balance; Palazzo Arzaga is the ideal place where to recover and pamper oneself enjoying pleasant and relaxing moments. It is a favourite destination for golfers, lake and nature’s lovers, gourmands and Italian wines connoisseurs, as well as for professionals and companies who seek an enchanting venue for their meetings and incentives; or just for those who wish to escape from daily hectic life.

The new Arzaga Spa, completely refurbished in 2012, offers a selection of exclusive Clarins treatments and products rich in high performance active ingredients combined with an exclusive 100% manual method tailored on one needs to attain an immediate result. Guests may also enjoy the 70 sqm thermalised indoor pool (temp. 31°C.); the outdoor pool, jogging route and tennis courts. Palazzo Arzaga is a one-of-a-kind Italian golf resort; it features 2 onsite International standard courses. Our first jewel is the 18 hole Championship course (6,410 m – 7,010 yds), it is a typical Parkland Resort Course” par 72 that features the original characteristics of Jack Nicklaus II style.

Our second jewel is the 9 hole “Inland Links” par 36, which perfectly expresses Gary Player design, who is one of the best “Links Course” designer worldwide.

Legendary short game specialist and former Ryder Cup player Norman Drew teamed up with MD Golf in 2007 - his aim was to help produce a range of high quality wedges. 2008 saw his dream become reality when in the Today’s Golfer August wedge test the NV Drew wedge out spun almost 40 other manufacturer’s clubs to take the pole position!

After many months of testing and tinkering with head, sole and groove designs Norman is delighted to introduce his new and improved range of wedges for 2013.

Norman felt that the majority of modern wedges feature lots of bounce and this makes it difficult to ‘nip’ the ball off the surface, especially off tighter lies and in particular around links courses. Norman has entirely re-engineered the head design and the groves to produce a wedge which features a modified leading edge with a squarer look at address whilst maximising spin and feel with the new “Vico Spin” grooves. The standard bounce wedge features a modified leading edge with more bounce to enable golfers to adapt to soft or wet ground conditions and have confidence to execute those all important scoring shots.

PING Serene™ Women’s Driver The Serene’s large, forgiving head, expansive hitting surface, and high-balance-point shaft (lengthened ½” to 45” as standard) offer women golfers longer, more accurate tee shots.

Ultra-thin-crown technology in the wide-profile 460cc head created discretionary weight that was used to optimise the CG and elevate forgiveness. The lowest portion of the clubface is wide to ensure solid contact and maintain distance and accuracy, even on miss-hits.

Serene™ Women’s Hybrid/Iron Set In the Serene hybrid/iron set, women can blend 4, 5- and -6 hybrids with perimeter weighted irons to launch the ball higher for longer results throughout the set while ensuring optimal distance gaps.

The traditionally-shaped hybrids are larger and the CG is back and lower to achieve high launch with moderate spin to maximise distance in slower swing speeds. Camber and sole relief ensure playability from all lies.

Serene™ Putters The Serene putters feature variable-groove-depth technology. PING’s extensive studies show a significant increase in ball-speed consistency when measured at nine points across the face insert. The grooves are deepest in the center, and get gradually shallower out to the perimeter of the insert, ensuring predictable distances and accurate results, even when the ball is struck toward the heel or toe.

The insert is made of 6061-T6 aluminum and provides a crisp feel and sound similar to a traditional steel face. Perimeter weighting in the stainless steel heads and a well-balanced geometry add to forgiveness.

Discovery Sicily with SolGolfVacations!

by Susan Nuttall Turner Siracuse As we say good bye to summer and get ready to face autumn and winter, how many of you are planning or thinking of a golf break or vacation to get you through the long cold winter months and the dark at 4,30pm evenings!!!

Top of your list is probably one of the eternally popular Spanish golf resorts or maybe one of the Portugese resorts offering pleasant winter escapes. I bet you have never considered SICILY Yes SICILY! I recently visited the island to visit 3 of the golf resorts with my Sicilian business partner and already knowing and appreciating Italy I am not sure what I was expecting, I knew what he had told me and what I had read but even that didn’t do justice to what I discovered !

First of all a little geography for those of you wondering The historic island of Sicily lies off the southern end of Italy,( just off the toe!) of which it forms an autonomous region.

Covering a total of almost 26,000km², Sicily is the biggest island in the Mediterranean Sea. At the closest point, Sicily and Italy are barely more than three kilometers apart. Sicily is almost 290kms long, however, putting the other end of the island less than 150kms from Tunisia, in Africa.

I visited three resorts on the island and took some time to enjoy the sights sounds and gastronomy of the island. I think we all know or have heard of Mount Etna, europes only active volcano that every now and again puts on a show all of its own. That in its self is a tourist attraction but some of the hill side villages and towns look as if they are straight out of the history book or film set. I can particularly recommend visits to:Taormina.

This delightful mountaintop town is overlooking the Ionian coast is Sicily’s most famous resort, full of restaurants and shops, with beaches nearby. Its historical side is ubiquitous. The Greek amphitheatre, with its famous panoramic view Mount Etna and the coast, is used for

48

FairWay Golf & Luxury

concerts and plays, and medieval walls enclose the old town’s stone streets which is perfect for an evening stroll to discover the many shops, restaurants and bars. There are several castles, including those in the Castelmola overlooking Taormina.

Siracusa: Archimedes, Plato and Saint Paul loved Syracuse, and with good reason. It was one of the most important cities of the ancient Greek world, and the most important in Greek and Roman Sicily. It was also one of the most beautiful. The archeological park is extensive, while the old city, Ortygia, with its charming, narrow streets (closed to most traffic), boasts some fascinating treasures. After visiting Siracusa consider visiting the quaint and, for me, quite beautiful Noto , with palaces and churches in the Sicilian Baroque style are something truly representative of 18th-century Sicilian architecture and art.

I could continue especially with regards to Messina, Catania oh and don’t get me started about the food this is Italian food at its best.

However I am pleased to report that the golf resorts on offer are also excellent, the golf courses will surprise and delight and lets not forget the wonderful climate through out autumn winter and spring. We are talking about the same temperatures as Southern Spain (Alicante and Murcia) temperatures that make a golf break very very appealing!

Taormina

My first visit was to “I Monasteri Golf Resort” this a 4**** Luxury Hotel situated close to Siracuse this in the past was an old benedictine monastery and in the 18thcentury it became the house of prominent Italian noble families like the Catalano and the Melilli Barons.

The Villa is majestic and situated amongst some beautiful countryside over looking the golf course. The hotel offers beautiful elegant rooms all have a large and well furnished terrace and a view onto the golf course,all of the best modern comforts you would expect from a resort of this calibre can be found.

The golf course is very characteristic and has all the connotations of the most classic Sicilian landscape: oranges, mandarins, lemons, almonds, prickly pears and stone walls.

The design of the golf course is aimed to preserve the beautiful nature in which it is designed and to enhance its characteristics.

The holes do not appear as artificial interruptions of the citrus field, but they seem to be a natural clearing that separates one area of oranges and lemons from the other; the dry stone walls follow the layout of some of the holes, the rocks and the stones through the fairways and holes flow among large prickly pears, almost without stop their weaving. While playing you can see the trees of oranges, mandarins and lemons, because lapping the holes.

For these reasons, the golf course has a very Sicilian feel.

The golf cours is a “par 71 course” and is designed with the intention of making the players feel immersed in nature and at the same time to ensure that the game is also funny and technical, thanks to the five tees for each hole, thanks to the positioning of the obstacles and thanks to the shape and slope of the greens.

Finally I visited Verdura Golf & Spa Resort, located on the south coast of Sicily near the seaside town of Sciacca. Winning several prestigious awards since its opening in 2010, the luxury resort offers discreet exclusivity that few places can match. Verdura Golf & Spa Resort, on the southern coast, is close to Temple of Selenunte, the Valley of Temples of Agrigento- declared UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1997 - and to fields of oranges of Ribera and to Sciacca.

The resort is set over 230 hectares of stunning landscape with 1.8km of private coastline, yet has just 203 rooms and suites, giving a true sense of space and privacy. All rooms have private terraces and uninterrupted sea views and the Olga Polizzi-designed interiors combine modern luxury with authentic Sicilian motifs.

In 2012 (29th March to 1st April), the Verdura Golf & Spa Resort hosted the prestigious Sicilian Open attended by 144 professional players. Challenging links courses featuring undulating fairways and deep bunkers combined with the island’s pleasant temperatures to provide a unique golf experience for players and spectators alike.

Leading golf architect Kyle Phillips, renowned for his championship courses at Kingsbarns in Scotland and The Grove in England, has designed an astonishing range of courses that work in close harmony with the beautiful Sicilian landscape. There are two championshiplevel 18-hole courses and a 9-hole course, all set amid olive and orange groves and with spellbinding views of the azure Mediterranean Sea. These are free of any buildings, allowing players to enjoy golf at its purest.

In conclusion my advice to you would be If you’re an avid golfer looking for something different, think about Sicily.

Marina Bay Golf Course More than just a good game of golf

Located strategically in the heart of town, the course offers golfers great accessibility and a picturesque view of the city skyline, be it day or night.

These bunkers not only serve as one of our dramatic features, they are also geared to provide hours of challenge and excitement to golfers.

KLM introduces a totally new business class cabin

KLM introduces a totally new business class cabin

by Carlo Dedoni KLM Royal Dutch Airlines has recently introduced its new World Business Class (WBC) cabin interior, featuring the new full-flat seat. In the next months the company will refurbish all its long range aircrafts with the new Business Class.

With this new cabin interior the company aims to accentuate the at-home feeling for Business Class customers and that calls for a new cabin interior.

KLM has teamed up with Dutch top designer Hella Jongerius to introduce a brand-new atmosphere, furnishings and style in World Business Class. The guiding principle is the customer’s comfort and privacy as befits KLM. In addition to the new full-flat seats, the interior features new carpeting, panel decorations, curtains, lighting, blankets, cushions and upholstery.

First up for redecoration are KLM’s fleet of 22 Boeing 747-400s. In so doing, KLM will be changing all of WBC in the height of Dutch design, thereby combining its Dutch roots with international allure.

“I am convinced that this contemporary design will be greatly appreciated by our most valued customers and live up to their needs and wishes,” says KLM President & CEO Peter Hartman. “Even in times of financial difficulty, KLM continues to invest in customer comfort. I am proud of this superb and unique result: an entire World Business Class cabin created by a leading Dutch designer. In this way, we aim to give our passengers that warm athome feeling.”

The new full-flat seat offers customer optimum comfort. It can be reclined horizontally so the passenger can lie fully flat. The seat position in the cabin and the partition between television screens ensure greater privacy for passengers. There are also storage compartments in the seats beside the passengers and under the television screens. The number of seats in World Business Class will be reduced from 42 to 35 aboard the Boeing 747-400.

KLM has chosen the Diamond Seat manufactured by B/E Aerospace.

The guiding principle of new design is to ensure that passengers feel at home on board. That involves a transition from a business-like look to a greater sense of being at home. This has been achieved by using a characteristically warm colour palette, more sustainable materials, and by enhancing personal comfort. The design is timeless, recognisable and unified by the decorative dot patterns that feature on every item.

Naturally, the new interior features the fresh and recognisable KLM blue. To ensure the sense of comfort on board, Hella Jongerius has blended warmer and darker colours into the existing colour range making the KLM blue sparkle even more. The five new colours are aubergine, dark brown, midnight blue, cobalt and dark grey.

Sustainability is another point of focus for KLM in all new developments. The new design therefore had to be innovative as well as sustainable. In meeting this requirement, Hella Jongerius sought new solutions within the existing options available to the airline industry. The carpeting, for instance, was manufactured partly of discarded KLM ladies’ uniforms. KLM recycles all of its discarded carpets in collaboration with carpet manufacturer Desso based on the cradle-to-cradle principle. This is in line with the CSR policy KLM has pursued for years.

“It is truly remarkable that KLM is open to this kind of approach for its interior,” says Hella Jongerius. “Aircraft interiors have to meet an unbelievable range of technical requirements. We achieved this by simplifying the new seat, changing its colour and upholstering it with high-quality textile.”

KLM’s Boeing 747-400 fleet, consisting of 22 aircraft, will be redecorated first. The first refurbished aircraft took the skyes in July and now it is expected that the entire 747-fleet will be redecorated by April 2014. Work on KLM’s 15 Boeing 777-200s is planned for the summer of 2014.

Rigoletto Pen Italians’ love for opera is unmatched by their other musical passions. It is the genre closest to their hearts because it embodies so many Italian qualities, not least a desire to express the deepest, most heartfelt emotions. Flamboyant, tempestuous, joyous: opera is Italy’s soul transformed into sound.

To celebrate this most elegant and noble of art forms, born in Italy at the end of the 16th Century, Montegrappa pays tribute much-loved operas through the “Emozioni in Musica” collection of writing instruments. Previously-released pens in the series have honoured La Traviata and Il Barbiere di Siviglia. The third to be celebrated by Montegrappa is Giuseppe Verdi’s Rigoletto, an opera in three acts.

The Rigoletto Pen With an eye to the spirit of the eponymous player that it commemorates, the design of the Rigoletto pen immediately recalls the attire of the traditional court jester, a harlequin pattern of red, white and black diamond shapes that can be attributed to no other character. The body and the all-red cap are made of resin, the body itself requiring the use of the diffusion bonding technique to create its mosaic effect. All trims are made of solid silver or solid gold, according to the model.

A handmade black and red glass “murrina” on top of the red cap was inspired by the puffy sleeves and pantaloons that comprise a harlequin’s garb, while the pocket clip is styled in the manner of the jester’s footwear. Engraved into the ring that secures the pocket clip is a pattern that recalls the “skirt” favoured by jesters, with triangular extensions ending in little bells.

For the ring encircling the body, where the threads appear, Montegrappa’s artisans have etched a pattern to denote the type of belt worn by a jester. Montegrappa’s logo is engraved around the wide ring at the bottom of the cap.

The Limited Edition of Montegrappa “Emozioni in Musica” Rigoletto consisting of sterling silver and solid 18k yellow gold versions. In both models, the fountain pen nibs are fashioned from solid 18k gold. The Limited Edition is comprised of only 900 fountain pens and 900 rollerballs with sterling silver trim, and 30 fountain pens and 21 roller balls with solid 18K gold trim, for a total of 1851 pens.

Since 1912, for more than a century, Montegrappa has been manufacturing high-quality writing instruments in the same historic building in Bassano del Grappa, North East Italy.

A beautiful fifty years old, Rolex Daytona A history marked by a passion for speed and motor sport.

The iconic benchmark for those with a passion for driving, high performance and fine engineering.

The Cosmograph Daytona, introduced in 1963, was designed to meet the demands of professional racing drivers. With its highly reliable chronograph and bezel with tachymetric scale, it allows drivers to perfectly measure average speeds up to 400 kilometres or miles per hour, as they choose. An icon eternally joined in name and function to the high-performance world of motor sport.

The Oyster Perpetual Cosmograph Daytona is the consummate Rolex chronograph. efficient, precise, legible,robust, reliable, waterproof and self-winding, it is also comfortable, elegant, timeless and highly prestigious. judging by the success and outstanding reputation worldwide of this peerless alchemy of form and function, it is considered in many respects to be the ultimate chronograph. Fifty years after its launch in 1963, this embodiment of perfection is the product of a long maturation process. each inscription on the dial of a Rolex watch is a guarantee of performance; on this emblematic model, they were added one by one as the watch evolved. Solely “Cosmograph” at the outset, over the years “Oyster”, “Perpetual”, “Cosmograph”, “Daytona” and “Superlative Chronometer Officially Certified” were added, chronicling a legend in watchmaking.

1963

In 1963, Rolex launched a new-generation chronograph, the Cosmograph, dedicated to racing drivers. The singular name invented by Rolex immediately marked it out as a very different new model with an equally innovative style.

The chronograph counters stood out clearly on the dial thanks to their strongly contrasting colour: black on a light coloured dial or light coloured on a black dial. The tachymetric scale – a graduation allowing the measurement of average speeds over a given distance using the chronograph seconds hand – was moved from the dial to the circumference of the bezel, opening up and simplifying the dial. Dictated by functional considerations, as is usually the case at Rolex, these features made the chronograph functions far more legible – one of the challenges of the time. They also gave the watch a technical and sporty look making it instantly recognizable. The Cosmograph clearly deserved its place among the Professional watches, a category created by Rolex 10 years previously, in 1953, with models such as the explorer dedicated to explorers and mountaineers, or the Submariner specially designed for deep-sea diving.

86

FairWay Golf & Luxury

1965 The Cosmograph evolved in 1965 with the launch of a version that introduced screw- down chronograph pushers instead of the pump pushers found on the original model. The screw-down pushers brought the finishing touch to the Oyster concept, and prevented the pushers from being manipulated accidentally.

In testimony to its reinforced waterproofness, the name “Oyster” was inscribed on all the dials in addition to “Cosmograph”. another new feature came in the form of a black Plexiglas insert for the tachymetric bezel. The white graduation increased legibility yet again.

1988 With the arrival of quartz movements in the 1960s–1970s, Rolex nevertheless remained faithful to the mechanical watch and to the Cosmograph Daytona, preparing its future evolution. In 1988, the Daytona became self-winding. The brand opted for a quality, commercially available chronograph move- ment, which it then significantly modified to meet its own requirements, replacing more than 50 per cent of the components with parts specifically designed for Rolex Daytona movements.

The resulting new calibre 4030 included, among other features, a Rolex “heart” – an oscillator with a variable inertia balance wheel, Microstella regulating nuts and a hairspring with a Breguet overcoil – as well as a self-winding module with a Perpetual rotor invented by the brand in 1931. The movement was systematically submitted for official certification to receive the designation of chronometer, attesting to its superior precision. all versions of the new model featured the phrase “Superlative Chronometer Officially Certified” on their dial as well as “Oyster Perpetual Cosmograph Daytona”

2000 As a backdrop to the launch of an entirely new interpretation of the Cosmograph Daytona, it is difficult to imagine a more symbolic event than that of entering a new millennium. Introduced

by Rolex in the year 2000, this new model – like the first Cosmograph in its time – embodied the chronograph of the future.

Cosmograph Daytona, it is difficult to imagine a more symbolic event than that of entering a new millennium. Introduced by Rolex in the year 2000, this new model – like the first Cosmograph in its time – embodied the chronograph of the future.

Its aesthetics remained deliberately faithful to the codes of the 1988 Cosmograph Daytona, perfecting the iconic and distinctive design of the original, and its subtly sculpted strong lines and balanced ergonomics. In 1963 the Rolex chronograph had innovated with radically new aesthetics that enhanced the legibility of its functions. However, the innovations in the Oyster Perpetual Cosmograph Daytona for the new millennium essentially lie inside the case.

2013 Fifty years after its creation, the Cosmograph Daytona remains in a class of its own among sport chronographs and continues to evolve. with the latest evolution, in 2013, it is the first Oyster model in the Professional range to be offered in platinum, the noblest of precious metals, fitted for the occasion with an ice blue dial, exclusive to Rolex platinum models. It is also equipped with a spectacular monobloc Cerachrom bezel, an exclusive Rolex innovation with exceptional resistance properties and incomparable aesthetics.

Pleasure Orsos Islands is a luxury floating island that has the ability to be moved and re-anchored. While it has the vague resemblance of a boat, it’s more of a fancy platform than anything. Orsos Islands is the brainchild of Gabor Orsos and his Austrian-based company has begun manufacture of the prototype in Germany and Hungary and aim to show it to the public by the end of 2013.

The images you see below are obviously renderings, but the concept is intriguing as it stands as an alternative to a villa or hotel. With accommodation for up to 12 guests, the possibilities for the tourist industry to employ some of these places anchored close to small islands or having several out on the water from mainland could be interesting.

The all-new Ghibli marks a turning point in Maserati’s history.

Unveiled at the Shanghai Motor Show and arriving just months after the new Quattroporte, the Ghibli will give Maserati two concurrent four-door sedan models for the first time in its history. The Ghibli is smaller, shorter, lighter, more dynamic, less expensive and more economical than the flagship Quattroporte and provides a cornerstone in Maserati’s plans to build 50,000 cars a year by 2015. Its petrol range provides high performance from both of the power outputs from the twin turbo-charged, 3.0-litre V6 petrol engine and it also offers customers the choice of rear- or all-wheel drive in an E-segment luxury sports sedan.

The Ghibli has a more-focused, sportier philosophy than the larger Quattroporte and its most powerful model, the Ghibli S, has 301 kW (410 hp) of power, races to 100km/h in 5.0 seconds and stretches out to a top speed of 284km/h.

The Ghibli is also the first Maserati in history to be powered by a diesel engine, with a turbo-diesel V6 producing all the sound, refinement and driving pleasure typical of Maserati while delivering fuel consumption below six litres per 100 km on the NEDC formula. The Ghibli diesel will also become the first Maserati with Start-Stop technology.

It shares much of its core architecture, including its crash safety, its chassis, its suspension architecture, its engines and its LED headlight technology, with the larger Quattroporte, though it is 50 kg lighter, 173 mm shorter in the wheel base and 291 mm shorter overall.The Ghibli’s design team was challenged to produce a sedan that emphasized its more dynamic driving characteristics through a more aggressive visual personality, yet still maintained discernible visual links with the Quattroporte.

The outline of the body reflects a coupe-like philosophy for the four-door sedan, while there are strong feline hints around the Ghibli’s grille and headlights. The grille takes its inspiration from the current GranTurismo and it can draw a line back to the classic 1950s A6 GCS. It also maintains Maserati’s distinctive C-pillar treatment, which delivers much of the coupe-like stance and carries the classical Saetta Maserati logo, carrying on a tradition dating back to 1963.The side profile is dominated by a swage line that runs from the traditional Maserati grille vents behind the front wheels and finishes in the rear lights themselves.Inside, the Ghibli sets itself apart from the Quattroporte with a unique dashboard design that perfectly matches its sportier and more youthful character without losing any of the luxury expected from Maserati. The Ghibli also delivers a sporty design combined with all the spaciousness expected in an executive sedan from Maserati. The Ghibli, the Ghibli S, the Ghibli S Q4 and the Ghibli Diesel all utilize an eightspeed automatic transmission to deliver their performance, providing seamless comfort with fast gear shifting for hard acceleration. ll Ghibli models deliver exquisite handling thanks to their perfectly balanced weight distribution, a double-wishbone front suspension and a state-of-the-art five-link rear suspension. It can now deliver the added security and all-weather assurance of allwheel drive as well.It also delivers new standards in quality in every area from design, development, fabrication and process controls. It is produced in a new plant that combines Maserati’s traditions of craftsmanship with cutting-edge technologies that are able to guarantee outstanding quality by controlling even the tiniest details.The Ghibli has entered the E-segment sports premium market with a marked advantage in cabin craftsmanship and detailing, including luxury features like the Maserati Touch Control screen, adjustable pedals, reversing camera, Poltrona Frau leather interior and the 15-speaker Bowers & Wilkes audio system, as well as WLAN-based WiFi and compatibility with most modern mobile phone systems.The original 1963 Quattroporte invented the concept of the luxury sports sedan, the new Quattroporte continues to be the genre’s benchmark and now the Ghibli offers all the Quattroporte’s qualities in a more dynamic, more affordable package.

Billingham Bags www.billingham.co.uk

307L The 307L shares the majority of its features with the 07 Series. The same contoured main flap and easy PressTop access, internal and external grab handles, expanding double dump pockets to the front and zippered pocket to the rear. Where the 307L comes into its own is inside the bag. A fixed, robust laptop slipcase is built into the padded interior and a base provides impact protection.

As with the other models in the range, the 307L can be fitted with our optional Delta pockets for extra capacity. The lower leather straps feature D holes for the attachment of a Backpack Harness or to take tripod carry straps.

5 Series Bags The main compartment now includes four extra full depth pockets. The single zip top opening has been retained but has also been reprofiled, so that it is now possible for the zip panels to lie behind the inside pockets, so forming the Billingham TukTop. In use the zip can remain open and protected with the main flap. The simple zip path ensures long, troublefree life.

The Classic 550 The 550 was the first soft camera bag manufactured in Britain. It’s continuing success, both as a spacious camera bag and as a general travel bag, has meant that, apart from a few very minor improvements, it remains much the same as when it was first introduced.

The adjustable shoulder sling comes complete with a leather and neoprene SP20 shoulder pad.

An 8-15, 9-15 and 9-18 Superflex, together with a Flap are included. The two matching side pockets are also part of the product and will arrive with the bag.
