EATING OUT

Welcome break IF YOU EXPLORE TOWSURE’S VAST HILLSBOROUGH STORE MAKE SURE YOU STOP AT THE NEW BASECAMP CAFE, WRITES ALISON HULLEY. he Towsure shop on Holme Lane in Malin Bridge sells everything you could need for camping, walking and outdoor recreation. Founded in 1967 by Stuart Hogg, it is an established and wellknown Sheffield business attracting customers from all over the region. It is perfectly situated near to the Malin Bridge tram stop and offers a large free car park. If you are planning a visit, or simply passing by, then why not make the most of your trip and check out the recently re-opened Basecamp Café inside. The cafe had been open for just three weeks on the day of our visit. It’s refurbished to a very high standard which has involved completely redesigning the kitchens, counters, interior décor and furnishings from scratch. Prior to the re-opening, the café had previously been owned and operated independently but now it is owned by Towsure. It is clear that a lot of thought and care has gone into the redevelopment of the café to keep with the outdoor theme of its retail host whilst offering a high-quality dining experience.

28 www.rmcmedia.co.uk

The Basecamp Café display board above the counter highlights the menu and current offers; it also displays nearby walking routes to give people ideas of local areas they can explore. Local walking groups are welcome to use the café as a meeting point and of course enjoy a well-deserved treat at the end of a good stroll. A discount is offered to those wishing to use reusable cups and a coffee loyalty scheme is to be introduced soon. We were pleasantly surprised by the extensive breakfast and lunch menu on offer. Head chef and café manager, Gary, seven days a week from 9am and 10am on a Sunday, whether it is breakfast, lunch or coffee and cake you will not be disappointed. Sunday lunches are served 12-3.30pm and are becoming a firm favourite having sold out the previous week. We ordered at the counter and then found a table where our drinks were served; a good-sized pot of tea and an Americano which was clearly made with excellent quality coffee. Our meals from the lunch menu (served 12-4pm) followed consisting of fish and chips served with mushy peas, tartare sauce

and a lemon wedge, and a Cajun chicken burger made from Cajun fried chicken fillet served with cheese, lettuce, tomato and gherkin on a toasted bun. The burger was served with hand cut chips and freshly made house coleslaw. The food was clearly cooked to order and the chips were nice and crispy with just the right amount of seasoning. After looking at the extensive cakes on display, many of which are homemade, we decided to share a piece of the homemade special edition Jubilee cheesecake to round off the meal. It had a perfectly crispy base and the topping was fluffy, light and fruity featuring whole blueberries inside.

estival season returns in earnest this year. After two years of Covid-affected events, 2022 should see a big return to normality – as much as it can – which is great news for music fans. Glastonbury’s back, Leeds and Reading will be going ahead again but while the ‘big’ festivals may grab the headlines, you’ll struggle to find a better value-for-money line-up than at Sheffield’s Tramlines. Sam Fender, Kasabian and Madness take the top slots on Friday, Saturday and Sunday respectively and will be joined by the likes of James, The Vaccines, Sigrid, Self-Esteem, The Wombats and Becky Hill. And there’s more. Sheffield’s biggest city-based music festival recently announced its latest additions to the lineup – and it looks like festival-goers are in for a treat. Joining the headliners at the already sold-out event in Hillsborough Park will be Bad Boy Chiller Crew, Lady Leshurr, Alfie Templeman and Kelis. They’ll be joined by Crawlers, Bleach Lab, Baby Queen, The Clockworks and Elvana. Comedy will also be making a return to the festival, which takes place between 22-24 July, with a huge line-up including headliners Jason Manford, Russell Kane and Seann Walsh. Timm Cleasby, Tramlines operations director, said: “After the amazing spirit that everyone brought to Tramlines 2021 and how the team delivered an amazing festival in challenging times, we’re all back working hard to make 2022 better than ever. I honestly can’t wait to be back in the park and having a blast with Sheffield again. “There are so many great bands on the 2022 lineup.Those I’m really looking forward to catching are Sigrid, Kasabian, The Coral, Orla Gartland and James, and there’s some great Sheffield artists that I’ve been looking forward to seeing for a

while too, the amazing Self Esteem, the return of Little Man Tate and our friends, Reverend and The Makers to name a few. Then to finish off the party, Madness will be sending everyone dancing back to their house…Tramlines 2022 is gonna go off.” Headlining ‘Sarah Nulty’s Main Stage’ on Friday night is Sam Fender with two Number 1 albums now under his belt. The newly formed but better than ever Kasabian take the lead on Saturday night, while Madness finally get to deliver a long-awaited set following the postponement of Tramlines in 2020 where they were originally due to headline. Other lineup highlights include James who will be bringing the most festivalready tracks from their 39-year long career; the frenetic five piece The Vaccines who’ll be dropping classics such as ‘Norgaard’ and ‘If You Wanna’; Americana/alt-rocker Jade Bird; the Norwegian pop sensation Sigrid; and the Mercury Prize-nominated Sports Team who make a triumphant return to Hillsborough Park following their appearance in 2019 - anyone recall Alex Rice’s crowd surfing in the Leadmill tent? Ever with its finger on the pulse of breaking talent, the Tramlines 2022 lineup shines a light on some of the most exciting new acts around.

These include the gritty indie-folk artist Orla Gartland who dropped her debut album ‘Women on the Internet’ this August; the melodic, indie-pop rising star Pixey who has just released her second EP on the influential Chess Club label; the guardian tipped ‘one to watch’ outfit Coach Party; and guitarist-singer Sam Ryder who shot to fame with his cover versions during the pandemic resulting in TikTok crowning his the most popular UK artist account of 2020. A Tramlines lineup wouldn’t be complete without a solid injection of Sheffield’s finest. For 2022, crowds can expect homegrown sets from Jon McClure’s Reverend and The Makers; Self Esteem (aka Rebecca Taylor formerly of Slow Club); Little Man Tate in their highly anticipated return since their farewell in 2009; and arguably one of most attended performances of the entire Tramlines weekend,The Everly Pregnant Brothers who’ll bring the power house of parody, charm and sing-a-long vibes. Plenty of up and coming local acts have also been revealed including Bedroom High Club, Luxury Goods, Sheafs and August Charles. Bedroom

High Club are a 4-piece new age indie band who have become firm Tramlines favourites since debuting in 2019. Luxury Goods are the new incarnation of LIO and have just announced a Leadmill show in December whilst Sheafs are riding high following their debut EP ‘Vox Pop’ in 2020. August Charles is a fantastic new vocalist from Doncaster who made his Tramlines debut last year as a winner of the ‘Apply to Play’ competition. Tramlines has settled into its new home in Hillsborough Park - this will be the fourth event held there - and this year’s site will have five stages of music, a family-friendly area and a genrespanning line-up of performers including everyone from internationally-acclaimed acts to grass roots talent. 2022’s event - the 13th edition of Sheffield’s biggest party - takes place following an exceptional event in 2021, where the festival took place as part of the Government’s Event Research Programme. It was the largest festival in Western Europe to go ahead since lockdown restrictions were eased and

marked a national celebration of the return to live music. Comedy has become a mainstay of the festival and in 2022 Tramlines has secured some huge names kicking off with Seann Walsh who headlines on Friday. Seann is a multi-award winning performer with a growing list of TV credits including QI, Strictly Come Dancing, Celebrity Juice and 8 out of 10 cats. Sean is joined on Friday by Scott Bennett, Michelle Shaughnessy, Alisdair Beckett-King,Vince Atta and host Danny McLoughlin. Saturday headliner Russell Kane is a UK household name due to numerous TV appearances as a guest and as a presenter of his own shows including 2016 travel doc Stupid Man - Smart Phone. Joining Russell on Saturday are Tom Ward, Karen Bayley, Harry Stachini,

Jack Gleadow and host Matt Read. The Sunday showcase is headlined by Jason Manford, well known due his tenure as team leader on 8 out of 10 cats, his numerous presenting roles and his appearances in West End musicals such as Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, The Producers and Sweeney Todd. Also appearing on Sunday are Ivan Brackenberry, Lily Philips and host Emmanuel Sonubi who has been hotly tipped by both Jason Manford and Russell Kane. “I’m beyond excited for Tramlines 2022,” added Timm Cleasby. “Our first announcement was ace, now this? You had me at Kelis and Elvana… the return of Lady Leshurr too, just mega. Add to that Jason Manford, Seann Walsh and Lily Philips and I’m gonna need more hours in my weekend.” www.rmcmedia.co.uk 33

FOX VALLEY

Accessible to all

SINCE IT OPENED SIX YEARS AGO, FOX VALLEY SHOPPING CENTRE HAS BEEN A WORTHY ADDITION TO THE NORTH OF SHEFFIELD, WRITES LOUISA HICKS. WE LOOK AT ITS ENDURING APPEAL AND SOME STAND-OUT INDEPENDENT BUSINESSES. n the north of the Steel City, in Stocksbridge, is the Fox Valley shopping centre.This shopping centre is the result of the re-development of a former steelworks that was established by Samuel Fox in 1842.Today the steelworks is part of Liberty Steel and employs around 800 people, but the actual site of Fox Valley is now a modest shopping centre. The £50million development was essential to provide a shopping centre for the growing community within South Yorkshire. The developers ensured that the centre’s design still reflects the rich industrial history of the area. Some of the retailers that you will find at Fox Valley include Aldi, Boots, Go Outdoors and Sanderson’s Boutique. There are also other facilities such as a Snap Fitness gym and a hand car washing service. It was important to the developers of Fox Valley that the shopping centre is as green as possible. Some of their sustainable features include electric car charging points, LED lights and timers, solar panels, bike racks for cyclists, and nearby bus stops to encourage bus travel where possible. As well as being a retail destination, Fox Valley also includes various office spaces for local and national companies, in five different areas on its site. The prime location near the M1 and A616 makes these offices an ideal place for commuters to come to work.

Fox Valley is a shopping centre that is accessible to all. There are accessible lifts, parking spaces and toilets for disabled people, as well as baby changing facilities as Fox Valley is committed to properly serving the surrounding community. The retail park also provides four hours free parking. As part of this ethos, since October 2021, they have been in partnership with Sheffield Hospitals Charity. Fox Valley hosts fundraising events to help fund their initiatives, essential equipment and research.

The business was renamed John Crawshaw in 1997 when John took full control. This lead to a further period of expansion as the production kitchen at Stocksbridge was developed, leading to a significant increase in custom from the restaurant and catering trade - many of which they still deal with today. The desire to expand and innovate remains and after taking a stall at Fox Valley Market in 2016, John opened in a more permanent location in the shopping centre in 2017. “We strive to provide the finest locally farmed meats which are prepared to the highest standards by our highly-skilled team,” said John. “Plus, we make a wise range of lovingly prepared home produce that tastes as good as it looks.” Call 0114 283 8294 or visit johncrawshaws.co.uk to find out more.

WEDDINGS

o, you have accepted his/her proposal and are now dreaming of the perfect, sparkling white dress for your big day. The white dress is so synonymous with weddings, you would be forgiven for thinking blushing brides have always dressed this way. However, history buffs and marriage enthusiasts alike may be interested to learn that it hasn’t always been this way. Read on to discover the weird, wonderful – and not necessarily romantic – origins of the modern day wedding dress.

Wedding origins WHY DO BRIDES WEAR WHITE, AND SHOULD YOU REALLY INCLUDE GARLIC IN YOUR BOUQUET? WE DELVE INTO THE HISTORY OF WEDDING DRESS TRADITIONS.

The dress Contrary to popular belief, the white dress wasn’t chosen to represent the purity and innocence of the bride, but became fashionable after Queen Victoria wore white for her wedding day in 1840. Victoria (the trend-setting Kardashian of her time) wore a plain white dress to marry Prince Albert simply because she liked the colour. But, she wasn’t the first to do so. Mary Queen of Scots wore white when she married Dauphin François of France in 1558. Although back then, this was considered scandalous, as white was traditionally worn by royal ladies in mourning. Before Victoria’s influential white dress, women of high social standing wore rich and bold colours to show off their status. Back in the Middle Ages, as it was routine for royals to marry for political gain rather than love, the bride needed to make sure she impressed the elite groom with her wealth and beauty. The wife-to-be was responsible for representing her country and so needed to exhibit power, wealth and superiority to be a desirable candidate for an alliance. To show these traits, the seamstress would use the most lavish materials, silk, satin and fur being popular choices. So by the time Victoria’s white dress came along, brides all over Britain wanted to follow suit. One popular lady’s monthly magazine described white as “the most fitting hue” for any bride. After that, white was considered the must-have colour and merchants saw this as an opportunity to up the prices of their garments. The white dress therefore became a symbol of wealth and desirability – a trend that is seemingly here to stay. Well, every bride wants to feel like a queen, right? 42 www.rmcmedia.co.uk

The veil and train

The bouquet

The veil and train on the other hand, originated much further back in Roman times. Roman brides were swaddled from head to toe in a gigantic flame-coloured veil called the flammeum as it was believed its fiery appearance would scare off evil spirits. There is evidence to suggest that veils continued to be worn to protect brides’ faces well into medieval times. Similarly, bridesmaids wore similar dresses to the bride to confuse the spirits. The veil and train also prevented brides from running away from their grooms – and vice versa, as the bride’s face would usually only be revealed to the groom at the end of the ceremony. The lifting of the veil was also used as a symbol of the groom taking possession of his new wife and accepting her for all she was – for better or for worse. Moving closer to the modern day, everything a young princess wore on her wedding day was considered chic. Everyone wanted to emulate the regal style and as lengths of material signalled a more lavish and expensive dress, long trains were adopted by more ‘common’ brides – another element of the wedding dress that has stood the test of time.

Flowers may seem like the most romantic part of your wedding attire, but again, they were a device to ward off those pesky evil spirits. This ritual stems from a 17th century tradition of having fragrant herbs and plants such as garlic and dill in your bouquet. That’s right – garlic! The 1600s are famous for the plague epidemic and potent herbs like these were used in a desperate attempt to survive the disease. Not only were herbs thought to be good for your health (and as it turns out, rightly so), their strong scent was thought to ward off spirits. It will come as no surprise then, why would-be brides were keen to catch the bouquet – it wasn’t just their married life that depended on it. Female guests would also try to rip off pieces of the bride’s dress and flowers on her big day in order to obtain some of her good luck. To escape from the crowd the bride would toss her bouquet and run away. However, we can’t imagine women attracting many potential partners carrying this kind of bouquet around all day.

Rubies are red

THE BRIGHTLY-COLOURED GEMSTONES ARE SOME OF THE MOST VALUABLE IN THE WORLD. PA JEWELLERY LOOK AT THEIR UNIQUE QUALITIES. uby has been considered one of the most valuable and treasured gems throughout history. It is now the gemstone favoured for 40th wedding anniversaries and the birthstone for July, so what better time to delve into its history… Rubies are red; the colour of passion and blood, and ancient cultures believed they represented the power of life. They are very tough and hard and are therefore associated with endurance (although they are by no means indestructible!). The name ruby comes to us from the Latin ‘Ruber’ meaning red. More romantically, the ancient Sanskrit language dubbed these bright red gemstones ‘Ratnaraj’: The King of precious stones. In ancient times most of the world’s rubies were found in India, and to the Hindu religion they became the most valued of all gems. The finest rubies can seem to glow from within, a property noticed as far back as Roman times, when they were said to hold an inextinguishable flame,

able to melt wax or boil water. Rubies cannot do either of those things, but the glow can be real. It is due to fluorescence: rubies contain traces of chromium that give them their bright red colour and causes a red fluorescence when under ultraviolet light. In some stones this means that even ultraviolet wavelengths in sunlight can give the stone a subtle glow. Not all rubies fluoresce though, because some contain traces of iron, suppressing this property. Today, ruby remains one of the most valuable gemstones in the world. The Sunrise Ruby set a record for coloured gemstones selling at auction in 2015 for $30million; more than $1million per carat for the 25.59ct stone. Although several large, historical ‘rubies’ in Royal collections have been found to be spinel (another beautiful red gemstone frequently confused with ruby prior to the development of gemmological testing and famously present in the British crown jewels as the ‘Black Prince’s ruby’) there are stunning ruby pieces in the jewellery

collections of royals including the British, Portuguese and Danish. In addition to Queen Elizabeth’s ruby suite, the Duchess of Cornwall is a big fan and has two spectacular necklaces, while the engagement ring of the Duchess of York was a ruby and diamond cluster. You don’t need to be royalty to enjoy this beautiful gem. Ruby comes in a variety of hues, from pinkish to purplish or brownish red and an array of shapes, sizes and qualities.You can view a selection of our ruby jewellery on our website or visit us in our showroom to see more.

EATING OUT

On the up and up AFTER 20 YEARS IN BUSINESS THERE’S NO SIGN OF SLOWING DOWN FOR THE GREEDY GREEK DELI. BY RICHARD ABBEY. ast month in Westside we put the spotlight on long-standing family businesses, those that have stood the test of time, triumphed over adversity and continue to go from strength to strength. One of the businesses we featured was the The Greedy Greek Deli, the Sharrow Vale Road stalwart that this year celebrates 20 years in business. It’s significant milestone for the Mouzakis family who arrived from Zante with the intention of brining authentic, traditional Greek food to Sheffield. The deli has become a firm favourite over the years and is testament to the hard work of husband and wife team Dennis and Helen. The deli has evolved over the years and offers much more than your takeaway gyros, souvlaki and salads and is now home to an upstairs restaurant as well as an outside catering service - The Deli Direct. Which all means there’s rarely a quiet moment at The Greedy Greek Deli. As we arrived on what we thought would be a quiet Monday evening the deli was already buzzing and Helen was putting the finishing touches to a birthday banquet that was getting ready to be delivered. After that there was just the small matter of their concession at the Sheffield Food Festival to organise as

well as Jubilee parties and an upcoming wedding. The restaurant offered something of a respite to all the hustle and bustle and was a pleasant space to spend an hour or two indulging in some fine Mediterranean food. Helen’s son Giannis was on hand to guide us through any questions about the menu, which is extensive. We started with a mini meze (£12.80), which was perfect for sharing and included stuffed chilli peppers, olives, sun dried tomatoes, stuffed vine leaves and feta cheese. It was a great introduction and whetted the appetite for what was to follow. My wife had a hankering for a traditional pork gyros (£7.65) and the Greedy Greek’s version is as good as you’ll find. The grilled pitta bread was full to bursting with spit roast pork, mixed salad, tzatziki and strofilia dip and was just delicious, all the flavours working tremendously in harmony. I opted for the soutzoukakia (£13), which were three huge and incredibly meaty beef meatballs cooked with tomato, onion, garlic and cumin. The robust flavours packed a real punch to make a real winner of a dish. We also shared a portion of lemon potatoes (£6), which I love and were a great accompaniment to the meatballs.

Quarters of pitta bread (£1.30) were great for mopping up the lemon and tomato sauces. Children are well catered for at The Greedy Greek Deli and my son’s chicken skewer, chips and salad (£6.80) would have satisfied even the largest of appetites. There’s no alcohol licence but there’s a good choice of soft drinks, waters, milkshakes and coffees. We drank cans of Pepsi and Tango Orange (£1.70). To finish, Giannis brought us bitesize pieces of baclava (£5.90) and karidopita (£5.90) - walnut and cinnamon cake which was served with a couple of scoops of vanilla ice cream. It was a sweet and lovely way to end the meal. It’s easy to see why The Greedy Greek Deli is so popular - here’s to the next 20 years.

Donation boosts Emmaus Sheffield craft project Sheffield hand tool manufacturer Woodware Repetitions is supporting city homelessness charity Emmaus Sheffield in its latest fundraising venture. Emmaus Sheffield is the working community with quality, self-contained accommodation, training facilities and a workspace for previously homeless men and women aged 18 years and over. It aims through its Social Enterprise programme to provide meaningful work and enable the people it supports – known as companions - to eventually become self-supporting once more. The companions have recently launched their own handcrafted range of bespoke household items that also fit in perfectly with the Emmaus ethos of sustainability and recycling. And Woodware Repetitions are providing off cuts of high quality wood, which the companions are transforming into household items. Woodware Repetitions, part of Mowbray Manufacturing Co Ltd, specialises in the manufacture of hand tool handles, including turning tool handles, file handles, chisel handles and knife handles, many of which are used by associate company George Barnsley and Sons. “Thanks to the team at Woodware Repetitions, we now have a great quality supply of wood to keep this valuable new income stream going,” said Emmaus Sheffield Deputy Manager Charley Fedorenko. “The fact that the company uses ethically sourced materials blends perfectly with our own approach to sustainability.” To find out more about Emmaus Sheffield, visit www.emmaus-sheffield.org.uk

Night Strider 2022 The St Luke’s Hospice 50th anniversary celebrations will reach their climax with Night Strider 2022. Night Strider – sponsored by Pricecheck and Gripple - is the annual nocturnal half marathon and 10k walking challenge that this year aims to raise more than £100,000 towards patient care at Sheffield’s only hospice. The 2019 challenge - the last before the Covid-19 pandemic put Night Strider on hold for two years - saw more than 1,000 fully illuminated St Luke’s supporters take to the streets as darkness fell on the city on an October evening. Now booking is open and already entries are coming in for Night Strider 2022, which makes its return on 8 October and promises to be the biggest and best Night Strider yet! Starting out from Sheffield’s Peace Gardens, the walk takes in some of Sheffield’s finest locations as it heads out towards Ecclesall and Abbeydale before heading back to the city centre finish line. With no running involved, there’s plenty of time to take in the city’s best known views by moonlight as walkers embark on their twilight challenge. Either a full half marathon distance or a shorter 10k route, Night Strider is open to everybody over the age of ten though participants aged ten to 17 must be registered and accompanied by another participant aged 18 or over - and is suitable for all ages and abilities. To sign up simply visit stlukeshospice.org.uk

Auction for Ukraine Cupola Gallery is hosting an art auction in aid of Ukraine. “It all started when Karen Shapley, a locally based artist made a specific sculpture, ‘Little drummer girl’ and asked us if we could auction it to raise money for Ukraine,” said Cupola’s director, Karen Sherwood. “After this we had several auctions of paintings through Ebay and sold textile postcards and tin cans directly at the gallery. This raised over £1,800 with the money going to Emergency Disaster Relief, British Red Cross and Medicine Sans Frontiers. “Since that time the floodgates opened and we were swamped with artists wanting to help and donate work. So now we are ready for the BIG ART AUCTION.” The auction features 25 artists and over 30 items (some available to buy immediately). There are paintings from international artists such as Anne Penman Sweet (AUS) and Sheffield’s very own Gill Gathercole has kindly donated paintings. The auction will be run through the website www.cupolagallery.com/ukraine and bidding will close on 10 July.

MOTORING

IF YOU LIKE YOUR CARS BIG, TALL AND IMPOSING, YOU’LL LOVE THIS MONTH’S ROUND-UP, WRITES RICHARD ABBEY.

All in the look The all-new Mazda CX-60 flagship SUV is launched with Mazda’s first plug-in hybrid technology powertrain and visually the new SUV reflects the latest enhancement of Kodo design - a design philosophy that debuted a decade ago with the launch of the first-generation Mazda CX-5, which was the first production car to feature Kodo design. Having entered phase two with the Mazda3 in 2019, the launch of Mazda’s very latest SUV sees Mazda’s designers take on the challenge of creating a design that would instantly reflect the advancement of the ‘Kodo-Soul of Motion’ design philosophy. Conceived under the design concept ‘Noble Toughness’, the imposing strength of the Mazda CX-60’s beautiful and dynamic styling conveys the intelligence and elegance of the latest developments in Kodo design - the Japanese concept of Ma, which is the calm and dignified beauty of empty space - woven into the toughness of the striking front-engine, rear-wheel drive SUV architecture. The CX-60’s deeply sculpted face, long nose and short rear silhouette creates a powerful and dynamic framework and an imposing SUV-like presence in a form with the simple beauty and elegance that Kodo design has become famed for.

Sporting pedigree The third generation of Land Rover’s luxury performance SUV – the Range Rover Sport – is the most desirable, technologically advanced and capable yet, mixing an imposing road presence with instinctive driving responses using the most advanced combination of chassis technologies ever fitted to a Land Rover. New Range Rover Sport is based on Land Rover’s advanced, flexible Modular Longitudinal Architecture (MLA-Flex), which provides the perfect foundations for its superior dynamics and peerless refinement. Its line-up of powerful and efficient powertrains includes two six-cylinder extended range Electric Hybrid plug-ins, which provide a pure-electric driving range of up to 70 miles (113km) and CO2 emissions as low as 18g/km. The new 530PS V8 Twin Turbo provides sports car performance, with 0-60mph in as little as 4.3 seconds (0-100km/h in 4.5 seconds) with Dynamic Launch engaged. Customers can also choose from powerful and efficient mild hybrid petrol and diesel Ingenium engines.

Longing for the new Bentley

XM-plary new addition

Bentley is bringing a new focus on wellness to its model range with the launch of the Bentayga Extended Wheelbase – a new grand touring SUV that builds on the strengths of the Bentayga to become a new luxury flagship, extending the latest product range to five models. So much more than just a stretch, the 180mm longer Bentayga Extended Wheelbase is the result of a nine-figure investment by Bentley to create a new model that provides the best rear cabin experience since a Mulsanne, whilst retaining the Bentley hallmarks of effortless performance, exquisite handcraftsmanship and endless personalisation. The new Bentley features Airline Seat specification, the most advanced seat ever fitted to a car, with 22-ways of adjustment and world-firsts in a new auto climate sensing system and postural adjustment technology. There will be three seating configurations, including an all-new 4+1 layout alongside four- and five-seat versions.

The first BMW M highperformance car with electrified drive has completed its final tuning process and the integrated application of the 480 kW/650hp M hybrid drive system and the model-specific M suspension technology paves the way for an outstandingly dynamic driving experience. For their test drives on public roads, the development and test engineers established an exceptionally demanding and varied route profile. The intelligently controlled interaction of the new eight-cylinder engine and the particularly powerful electric motor could thus be tested and refined in detail under a wide range of conditions: from intermediate sprints on the motorway to winding country roads and stop-and-go traffic in the city. Steep mountain passages and narrow serpentines offer the ideal terrain to demonstrate the driving dynamics potential of the M xDrive system, including the electronically controlled differential lock in the rear axle transmission.
