New 2024 Mercedes-AMG GT to be unveiled on 17 August

The highly anticipated second-generation Mercedes-AMG GT will be revealed on 17 August at Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance. It will serve as a direct competitor to the Porsche 911 and will be designed as an old-school, SL-twinned rival.

Developed solely by the Mercedes-AMG performance division in Affalterbach, the new GT will share most of its underpinnings with the recently introduced seventh-generation Mercedes-AMG SL roadster. This essentially makes the GT a hard-top coupe version of the SL.

Differences from the previous 2014 model will include subtle visual changes such as a more stylish rear roofline and a unique front grille treatment. Additionally, the cars may feature distinct wheel designs, paint colors, and option packs to add further individuality.

Upon its launch, the GT will be the fifth model developed by Mercedes-AMG itself, following the SLS, the first-generation GT, the GT 4-Door Coupe, and the SL.

During the event, a special limited-edition SL will also be introduced to celebrate Mercedes’ Manufaktur customization program. This program enables customers to personalize their cars with bespoke paint colors and options.

Mercedes-AMG has promised that the new GT will embody the traditional values of the brand and strongly resonate with enthusiasts, staying true to its old-school AMG roots. Speculation about the car’s performance, size, and character has been rife since AMG announced its connection to the latest SL model.

To address these speculations, Autocar had the opportunity to ride along with AMG’s new CEO, Michael Schiebe, in a near-finished prototype of the 2023 model. Schiebe confirmed that the new GT will only be available as a coupe, putting to rest any rumors of alternative body styles.

LEXUS SIGNS GOLF SENSATIONS HINAKO SHIBUNO AND AMARI AVERY AHEAD OF U.S. WOMEN’S OPEN

Lexus is excited to announce that it has added Hinako Shibuno and Amari Avery to its roster of sponsored golf champions. Shibuno is a 24-year-old Japanese golfer, while Avery is a 19-year-old rising star in women’s golf. Their sponsorship will begin at the 2023 U.S. Women’s Open Championship, which will be held at Pebble Beach Golf Links.

Nicole Peterson, from Lexus Partnerships, expressed her enthusiasm for the partnership, stating that both Shibuno and Avery are talented players who will help introduce the Lexus brand to new audiences and young people worldwide.

Shibuno, who has always dreamed of working with Lexus, shared her excitement for representing a luxury brand that she admires. She even purchased a Lexus NX with her professional earnings. Avery, on the other hand, is thrilled to be partnering with Lexus and sees the brand’s commitment to performance as inspiring for her amateur and future professional golf career.

Hinako Shibuno

Hinako Shibuno began playing golf in Okayama, Japan, at the age of 8. She turned professional in 2018 and quickly made a name for herself. In 2019, she became the youngest tournament champion at The World Ladies Salonpas Cup and won her second title at the Shiseido Anessa Ladies in her first-ever playoff.

In the same year, Shibuno made her debut at the AIG Women’s British Open and won her first major, becoming the second Japanese woman to achieve this feat since 1977. Her captivating smile earned her the nickname “Smiling Cinderella.” In 2020, she finished fourth at the U.S. Women’s Open and continued to excel in major tournaments.

Shibuno also runs her own YouTube channel, where she shares behind-the-scenes stories of her life on the US tour. She is also involved in organizing the “Hinako Shibuno Cup Okayama Softball Tournament” and giving back to her hometown of Okayama.

Shibuno is currently ranked 54th in the Rolex World Rankings.

Amari Avery

Amari Avery, at only 19 years old, has already made a name for herself in the world of golf. She has had success in her junior, amateur, and collegiate career, reaching as high as #5 in the World Amateur Golf Rankings. She has participated in prestigious tournaments such as the Augusta National Women’s Amateur and the U.S. Women’s Open, showcasing her talent.

During her time at the University of Southern California, Avery has achieved four individual victories and shattered records in USC women’s golf history. She has received multiple honors and continues to impress with her dedication and skills on the course.

Avery’s diverse racial and ethnic background, with an African American father and Filipino mother, is an important aspect of her identity that she proudly represents. She gained early exposure through the 2013 Netflix documentary “The Short Game,” which featured her journey to the U.S. Kids Golf World Championship.

Impressions that last in the new all-electric Volvo EX90 SUV

Remember the cool, smooth touch of the polished pebble you picked up during that beach walk many summers ago. Or the velvety feel of your old bottle-green armchair, and how the gentle resistance of its tiny fibres created a slight friction against your fingers.

The way our minds can hold on to tactile memories is remarkable, and it’s these simple encounters that remind us of the power of touch. Even the briefest connection can leave an everlasting sensation, so that decades later we can recall it as vividly as if we experienced it yesterday.

When our designers created the interior of our Volvo EX90 SUV, they picked materials that create lasting impressions. Materials from natural, recycled, and renewable sources. Materials that feel good and do good. Together with the design, it’s an expression of our company’s values and Scandinavian foundations.

“I work with an amazing team – they’re very much motivated by the values of our brand and meaningful design,” says Lisa Reeves, Head of Interior Design at Volvo Cars. “We have worked to redefine luxury by using more sustainable lightweight materials that really feel tactile and are of great premium quality.”

Natural, recycled and certified materials
This reinterpretation of luxury means that excess and conventional fabric make way for circularity and the progressive Nordico material.

The Nordico upholstery, created from textiles made from recycled material such as PET bottles, as well as bio-attributed polymer from forests in Sweden and Finland, sets a new standard for premium interior design.

“Our designers have put so much effort into designing the grain you can feel on the surface of the Nordico material,” says Lisa Reeves, referring to the intricate texture of ridges and valleys – like miniature landscapes.

Another EX90 upholstery option is our Nativa™-certified wool blend seat finishing, a fabric certified according to strict sustainability standards on animal welfare, environmental, and social issues. It has also obtained the Performance Certification from the Woolmark Company.

Together with FSC™-certified wood panels around the cabin and carpets partly consisting of regenerated polyamide, these material choices make sure that the Volvo EX90 consists of almost 50 kilogrammes of recycled plastics and bio-based materials – the highest amount of non-primary fossil-based materials in our line-up of cars.

The Volvo EX90 also allows you to customize your car’s interior by choosing between seven different ‘rooms’. Inspired by the Scandinavian lifestyle and its close connection to nature, each room provides a different mood, thanks to our designers’ thoughtful selection of color, upholstery, and material finish. And with the SunLike LEDs lighting the cabin with near-sunlight and enabling a more natural color expression, the wood deco and progressive materials of the Volvo EX90 stand out more clearly.
