DENZA, the premium technology-oriented automotive brand of the BYD Group, is proud to reveal a stunning one-off version of its Z9GT flagship to commemorate its presence at the 2026 Cannes Film Festival in France. Produced in collaboration with renowned Swiss luxury house and Official Partner of the Cannes Film Festival Chopard, the DENZA Chopard tailor-made Z9GT is being donated to the 32nd amfAR Gala Cannes, a black-tie event held during the Cannes fortnight to raise funds for AIDS Research.
Rooted in DENZA’s ethos of ‘Technology Drives Elegance’, the Z9 GT serves as the ultimate canvas for an exceptional dialogue between advanced electric performance and the rare craftsmanship of a Swiss Maison. While DENZA brings its flagship grand-touring vehicle, cutting‑edge innovation and electrified powertrain, Chopard elevates the project with an unmistakable layer of exclusivity, heritage and savoir‑faire, transforming the car into a piece of automotive jewellery.
BYD Executive Vice President Stella Li commented: “Our DENZA brand made its full debut in Europe at the Palais Garnier in Paris only a few weeks ago, so our collaboration here with Chopard feels entirely appropriate and natural. The DENZA Chopard tailor-made Z9GT is the perfect example of how the finest technology becomes natural, almost invisible – but more than that, it shows how a refined house of luxury can take the finest details and raise them to another level altogether. We’re so proud of this collaboration and delighted that it can play a key role in the amfAR Gala Cannes and its fund-raising efforts.”
Caroline Scheufele, Artistic Director and Co-President of Chopard, commented: “At Chopard, we believe that true luxury lies in emotion and detail. With this exceptional collaboration, we have transformed the DENZA Z9GT into a moving piece of jewellery, where every element reflects our passion for craftsmanship and our pursuit of beauty.”
Inside this unique Z9GT, Chopard’s signature codes subtly reshape the cabin ambiance. Interior trims are garnished with amethyst stones, a direct reference to the Maison’s jewellery universe and a precious yet unexpected detail. Set within the cockpit controls, these violet gemstones introduce a tactile and visual sensory experience normally reserved for Haute Joaillerie – an everyday reminder that this is a one-of-a-kind creation.
The tailor-made Z9GT also features a bespoke upholstery treatment, with the Chopard ‘C’ embroidered into the headrests and incorporated into the ‘light carpet’. The Chopard logo is subtly integrated into the wireless smartphone-charging pad, and the Z9GT’s 17.3-inch infotainment system will feature a bespoke Chopard theme.
To complement the vehicle, Chopard contributes two exceptional timepieces designed as a “His & Hers” pairing, echoing the harmony, balance and duality of the Z9 GT itself. The Happy Sport 36 mm in 18-carat Ethical rose gold, snow‑set with diamonds and personalised with a DENZA charm, meets the Alpine Eagle 41 mm in 18-carat Ethical rose gold, featuring DENZA personalisation on the case back. Together, they express a shared language of precision, elegance and contemporary luxury.
The experience extends beyond the automobile through a suite of exclusive bespoke luggage handcrafted by Shiro, created specifically to accompany the Z9 GT. While curated within the overall lot, the focus remains on Chopard’s refined approach, which frames the car not merely as a vehicle, but as part of a complete lifestyle vision.
Together, this ensemble is the perfect accompaniment for a cabin that mixes high-grade leathers and wood finishes with the latest technologies, such as a 20-speaker theatre-grade audio system from French specialist Devialet.
The DENZA Chopard tailor-made Z9GT blends these fashion influences with the core innovations that already make the car a standout offering: three electric motors for extraordinary stability and agility, more than 1150 horsepower, 0-62mph in less than three seconds and, through support for FLASH Charging, the ability to fully recharge the battery in just nine minutes.
The DENZA Chopard tailor-made Z9GT is a striking example of Technology Drives Elegance. Even the unveiling itself is a moment of couture, as the Z9GT is revealed beneath an oversized, scarf-like car cover, conceived as a dramatic gesture worthy of a fashion-house runway. Fluid, elegant and theatrical, this “reveal cover” encapsulates the spirit of the collaboration — a meeting point between design, emotion and performance.
Bridgestone India has launched its new brand campaign, ‘Feel the Bridgestone Difference’, built around a simple but powerful thought—every car is designed for a certain level of performance, but it can only deliver its true potential when fitted with the right tyres. The campaign highlights one of the most overlooked component in the car that is tyre – when in reality tyre is the critical contact point between the car and the road.
Whether it is control, safety, confidence, or a smoother driving experience, tyres play a much bigger role than most people realise. A car may be engineered to perform at its best, but without the right tyre fitment, that experience remains incomplete. Bridgestone tyres are designed to help drivers unlock that full potential and truly feel the difference in every journey.
For the last 30 years, Bridgestone India has been delivering that difference to Indian consumers. With a strong focus on technology, manufacturing excellence, innovation, and quality, the company has built products that stand apart—and customers can feel that difference every time they drive.
A key highlight of the campaign is the difference that Bridgestone tyres are making by constantly staying ahead of the curve without any compromise. It offers better grip, stronger braking, smoother handling, lower road noise, improved fuel efficiency, and longer tyre life, creating a more balanced, comfortable, and reliable driving experience.
The campaign also takes inspiration from nature, featuring animals like the mountain goat, the cheetah and a rhino—symbols of grip, speed, unyielding strength and control in their natural terrains. Just as they move effortlessly in challenging environments, Bridgestone tyres are built to perform confidently across India’s diverse road and driving conditions.
Speaking about the campaign, Rajiv Sharma, Executive Director – Sales and Marketing, Bridgestone India, said: “Bridgestone has been a trusted name for Indian consumers, and that trust has come from consistently delivering safe, high-quality products and a superior driving experience. Our customers have experienced the Bridgestone difference over the years—whether in better control, smoother rides, or long-lasting performance. ‘Feel the Bridgestone Difference’ is a campaign people will instantly relate to because it reflects something they have already felt. With this campaign, we want to take that experience to a larger audience and help more people understand how the right tyre fitment can completely transform the way a car performs.”
The campaign highlights the performance Bridgestone tyres offer and it is a reminder that while every car has built-in potential, the right tyres are what truly bring it to life.
The campaign will be promoted across multiple platforms across the country, further strengthening Bridgestone India’s promise of performance, safety, and reliability for every driver.

Caterham has launched its latest limited-edition model, the Seven Nürburgring Edition, to celebrate 100 years of the most legendary and demanding circuit in the world.
Only 100 examples of the Nürburgring Edition will be made available to customers globally, based on either a Seven 420R or a Seven 340R, market dependent, with prices starting in the UK from £48,995 (inc VAT).
The bespoke race suspension has been developed exclusively for this model by Bilstein, using its advanced vertical dynamics test rig at the Bilstein Test Facility. Engineered specifically around the demands of the Nürburgring, the suspension setup was refined to deliver exceptional capability on both road and track. The result is a suspension package tailored specifically for this unique limited edition.
Teamed with a naturally aspirated 2.0 litre Ford Duratec Engine, it delivers 210bhp at 7,600rpm for a power-to-weight ratio of 375bhp/tonne. Paired with a five-speed gearbox, the Nürburgring Edition accelerates from 0-60mph in 3.8 seconds and tops out at a top speed of 136mph.
Alongside the custom-developed Bilstein damping and performance, there are several visual additions inside and out to match. As a fully licensed Nürburgring product, the edition features the distinctive branding and logo from the circuit, as well as the iconic red and grey colours available as paint finishes. These include a choice of three Nürburgring paint colours – Verkehrsrot (Traffic Red), Achatgrau (Agate Grey) and Basaltgrau (Basalt Grey), whilst custom paint colours are also available.
Other exterior upgrades include a Nürburgring “red” track day roll bar, a Nürburgring mesh grill with Seven logo in dual colour and a 620-style nosecone with carbon aero whiskers. The chassis colour is a distinctive Gunmetal Grey and the car features carbon front wings, Black Pack (black windscreen, headlamp bowls and exhaust heat shield), composite aero screen and LED rear lights clusters.
On the interior, the leather seats are complete with Nürburgring embroidery and red stitching, which is also found on the transmission tunnel. This is alongside carbon interior panels, a four-point road harnesses and sequential shift lights.
As the final touch, each car has an individually numbered plaque for each of the 100 units produced.
For a century, the fondly named ‘Green Hell’s’ 12.9-mile track in the Eifel Mountains in west Germany has been the ultimate proving ground for both car and driver.
Along with its changing elevation and camber across its 73 corners, the Nürburgring is a site where Caterham’s road and race cars have flourished for decades. Most notably, an 11th place finish at the Nürburgring 24 Hours in 2002, which saw an outstanding drive by Chris Cooper, Chris Harris, Clive Richards and Peter Haynes.
Trevor Steel, Senior Vice President of Operations, Caterham Cars, said: “For a century, this track has championed values that are at the heart of what the Seven is all about – balance, precision and an unmatched driving experience.
“We set out to capture the spirit of the ‘Ring, with every element of the car being honed to reflect the track’s unique demands and character. Designed both for use on the track and the road, the Seven Nürburgring Edition is a unique vehicle that perfectly pays tribute to this famous, globally renowned circuit”.
The Caterham Seven Nürburgring Edition will be unveiled at the upcoming 2026 ADAC 24 hours of Nürburgring.
Motorsport fans attending the event can see the model at the Caterham Nürburgring dealership and on the Bilstein stand in the paddock across the weekend.

Revealed at the 2026 Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este, the Vision BMW Alpina is a design study that heralds a new chapter for a brand defined by extreme capability, sophistication, and the mastery of both performance and comfort.
“Alpina has always represented a very specific idea of performance and re finement—where speed and comfort are complementary ambitions. Our role as the new custodians of this brand is to preserve this distinctiveness and shape it for a contemporary context,” says Adrian van Hooydonk, head of BMW Group Design. “Vision BMW ALPINA shows how these qualities can be expressed with discipline and modernity, suggesting what our direction is for this brand as we move it into the future.”
DESIGN AND FORM: THE SHAPE OF SPEED The Vision BMW Alpina is a respectful interpretation of the brand’s heritage, shaped by the most contemporary creative instincts. At 5,200 mm in length, its presence is substantial: wide, low, and confident. The coupé roofline is long and raked, its form immediately signals both speed and the ability to accommodate four adults in genuine comfort. A V8 powertrain drives the experience, tuned to produce the characteristic notes of the Alpina exhaust: rich and deep at low speed, sonorous at high revs.
“In Vision BMW ALPINA, we distil every element of the brand to its essence and apply it in a deeply modern and sophisticated way,” says Maximilian Missoni, head of BMW Design Midsize & Luxury Cars and BMW ALPINA. “Every detail reflects substance: in engineering, in materials, and in the story it tells. The statements it makes are subtle and revealed only on a closer read. This interplay between purity and richness defines our approach to BMW ALPINA design.”
The front end is defined by powerful volumes and a forward-leaning stance that promises speed without overstatement. The shark nose reinterprets BMW’s kidney grille as a three-dimensional sculpture that leads the car’s form and frames the brand emblem with quiet confidence.
From this shark nose, the exterior is organized around a single visual axis: the speed feature line. Rising from the lower front corners at a six-degree inclination, it runs along the side of the body and wraps around the rear—assertive enough to suggest motion, controlled enough to remain refined.
HALLMARKS AND PRINCIPLES: “SECOND READ” SOPHISTICATION Subtle secondary details reward attention without demanding it. This “Second Read” principle runs throughout the Vision BMW Alpina.
Deco-lines have been part of Alpina’s language since 1974. For the Vision BMW ALPINA, the modernized deco-lines are distilled and painted on the side of the body beneath the clear coat—a quiet gesture that reflects how the brand’s defining details can be adapted to what comes next.
Inward-facing return surfaces are treated with particular care, finished in a dark metallic tone that rewards a closer read. This approach is inspired by the BMW 507, which uses chrome only on the inside of its kidney grilles.
The shark nose captures the same “Second Read” sophistication: the inner surfaces feature a finely scaled signature Deco-line graphic, while a concealed, softly backlit perimeter reveals it only when active.
A warm white tone characterizes the daytime running lights and traces the kidney surrounds, inspired by the first light over the Bavarian Alps. Clear-cut illuminated crystals add a precise highlight within the slender lamps.
The elliptical four-pipe exhaust remains, as does the “ALPINA” lettering—re interpreted as a machined, polished metal element on the lower front apron. The 22-inch front and 23-inch rear wheels feature the 20-spokes design that has been a constant at Alpina since 1971.
INTERIOR AND DETAILS: ARCHITECTURAL CLARITY The cabin is generous in every sense: space, material quality, and the care with which technology has been integrated. Architectural volumes define the layout, with each element designed as a standalone form, not absorbed into a homogeneous interior.
The six-degree speed feature line continues through the interior, dividing the darker upper segment and the lighter lower segment. Full-grain leather— sourced from producers across the Alpine region—pairs with stitching inspired by the Deco-lines.
Craft details are restrained but well considered: a bridge stitch inspired by historic steering wheel hand-stitching appears sparingly in heritage blue and green colors, while a watchmaking-inspired beveling technique was used for the metal components, combining satin and polished finishes. Clear-cut crystal is reserved for the controls that shape how the automobile drives, under lining the value BMW Alpina places on the driving experience itself.
Behind the rear console, a glass water bottle sits beside BMW Alpina crystal glasses that rise on a self-deploying mechanism. Each glass is engraved with 20 deco-lines and features a six-degree rim profile, held by concealed mag nets and softly lit against the open-grain center console.
A COMFORTABLE DRIVER IS A FASTER DRIVER Burkard Bovensiepen understood something much of the automotive world has forgotten: a comfortable driver is a faster driver. That belief remains central to the Vision BMW Alpina. Alpina offers Comfort+, a setting beyond the standard BMW comfort calibration that delivers a more supple, refined char acter, and it is retained here.
BMW Panoramic iDrive, including the new passenger screen, spans the dash board with a digital user interface language crafted specifically for BMW AL PINA. Heritage blue and green are introduced with discipline, intensifying as the driver moves from Comfort+ to Speed mode within the BMW Panoramic Vision head-up display. The background imagery is equally considered. The Alpine landscape depicted is an exact rendering of the mountain range visible when looking south from Buchloe.
ROOTED IN THE BRAND’S ORIGINS The Alpina story began in 1965 in Buchloe, Germany, a small Bavarian town in the shadow of the Alps. Burkard Bovensiepen—destined for a career in typewriter manufacturing—chose instead high-performance tuning, founding Alpina and then refining BMW road and racing cars. From the outset, his philosophy was clear: speed and comfort were complementary, not competing ambitions.
In endurance racing, while rivals stripped weight, Burkard added extra pad ding to the driver’s seat: he understood that a more comfortable driver is a faster driver. That insight carried over to the road cars that followed, celebrated for composure and sophistication at high speed over long distances.
ALPINA B7 COUPÉ: A POINT OF MATURITY The Alpina B7 coupé of the late 1970s marked a turning point: Alpina’s philosophy was applied to a luxury car, and every model that followed was recognized as luxurious. Based on the BMW E24 6 Series, its long bonnet, wide stance, and shark nose looked fast even at rest, while the cabin could comfortably carry four people across a continent. The Vision BMW Alpina is the next chapter of that story.
BMW ALPINA—AN EXCLUSIVE BRAND WITHIN THE BMW GROUP BMW Alpina became an exclusive brand within the BMW Group in 2026, bringing proven stewardship and a clear responsibility: to understand what Alpina means to those who cherish it and to honor that in what follows.
“BMW ALPINA fills a gap in our portfolio between BMW and Rolls-Royce as we see even more potential in the high-end segment. With Alpina we have a strong legacy and a global community, which we want to build on, while pre serving the essence of what the brand stands for—speed, comfort and sophistication,“ says Oliver Viellechner, head of BMW ALPINA.
Next year, customers will be able to experience the first model of the BMW Alpina brand—inspired by the BMW 7 Series, but unmistakably BMW Alpina.
