Coupé – AutoApp Dev https://www.autoapp.sg/dev Fri, 13 Sep 2024 05:49:54 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9 Polestar Delivers First Customer Polestar 4 Unit In Singapore https://www.autoapp.sg/dev/?p=277349 Fri, 13 Sep 2024 05:49:54 +0000 https://www.autoapp.sg/?p=277349 Polestar has officially delivered the first unit of its Polestar 4 SUV coupé to Singapore.


With deliveries already rolling out in China and Europe, Singapore joins the growing list of countries with the new Polestar 4.

The 4 has the minimalist, Scandinavian design language that Polestar is known for, but with a design that harks back to the Polestar Precept concept car, featuring some striking innovations that are sure to turn heads.

The elimination of the rear window is its most prominent feature, and instead, you get an immersive experience for rear passengers, and a cleaner, more futuristic look that embodies Polestar’s forward-thinking ethos.

The Polestar 4 is designed to slice through the air with remarkable efficiency, with its low nose, retractable door handles, and flush glazing with frameless windows. The rear aero blades and optimised airflow around the rear light bar further enhance the car’s sleek, streamlined profile.

With a wheelbase of nearly 3 metres, there’s ample room inside, particularly in the rear, where passengers are treated to a unique cocoon-like environment with reclining seats. And if that wasn’t enough, Polestar’s ambient lighting, inspired by the solar system, allows you to tailor the mood to your liking.

Thanks to the absence of a rear window, the panoramic glass roof extends beyond the rear seats, creating a one-of-a-kind, open-air feel.

And for those concerned about the view, don’t worry, the rear-view mirror is replaced with a high-definition screen, offering a real-time feed from a roof-mounted camera. It’s a feature that provides a far wider field of vision than your traditional mirror setup.

The Polestar 4 is the fastest production car in the brand’s lineup. The Long Range Dual Motor version puts down 544hp, allowing it to sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.8 seconds.

For those who prefer a more relaxed, rear-wheel drive experience, the Single Motor variant still delivers an impressive 272hp and a range of up to 620km, according to WLTP standards. Both variants come equipped with a 100kWh battery, and if you’re driving around Singapore, the range should be more than enough to keep range anxiety at bay.

And for Singapore owners, the Pilot and Plus Packs come standard in Singapore, whilst an optional Pro pack is on offer for those who wish to stand out more.

Polestar 4 pricing starts at SGD320,000 for the Single Motor variant and SGD370,000 for the Dual Motor, inclusive of COE.

Test drives are now available at Polestar’s sleek showroom on Leng Kee Road, where you can experience the future of electric mobility for yourself.

The BMW Concept Touring Coupé Is A Masterpiece on four Wheels https://www.autoapp.sg/dev/?p=264597 Thu, 01 Jun 2023 18:21:59 +0000 https://autoapp.sg/?p=264597 BMW, please make this clown shoe a reality. It’s absolutely gorgeous.


BMW has graced us with the world premiere of its BMW Concept Touring Coupé, a stunning creation that pays homage to the timeless allure of automobiles.

This one-of-a-kind model, presented at the prestigious Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este 2023, showcases BMW Design’s innovative take on the elegant sports car, giving it a shooting brake concept that oozes sophistication and charm.

You have to wonder why this design ooze didn’t translate to its other vehicles, but oh well.

The interior of the BMW Concept Touring Coupé features meticulously crafted leather surfaces from renowned Italian manufacturer Poltrona Frau, creating an opulent ambience. And let’s not forget that compartment behind the seats, offering ample space to store your luggage for those spontaneous trips.

Even the luggage itself is custom-made at the esteemed Schedoni leather workshop in Modena, so you can flex even when walking into that hotel lobby.

Enough of the inside, let’s take a gander at that sleek, sexy bodyline. The BMW Concept Touring Coupé pays homage to the legendary BMW 328 Touring Coupé that triumphed in the 1940 Mille Miglia endurance race.

The shooting-brake concept draws inspiration from the BMW 02 Series model variants of the early 1970s, which sported the “Touring” moniker to distinguish them from sedans.

The sculpted rear end is a particular highlight of the BMW Concept Touring Coupé. Flowing seamlessly from the contours of the roof, it accentuates the car’s athletic shoulders, while the flat rear window and precisely defined body surfaces exude strength and confidence. 

From the side, the unmistakable shooting brake proportions, a signature BMW interpretation, is a well-missed silhouette. The long bonnet, streamlined roof contours, and powerful rear section blend harmoniously, creating a distinctive two-box design. 

Even the paint is unique on the car. Sparkling Lario paintwork embedded with blue glass flakes gives the car depth, with the silver-bronze accents and specially designed BMW kidney grille with longitudinal bars complementing the ensemble.

Completing the look are the exclusive 20-inch front and 21-inch rear alloy wheels in a 20-spoke radial design, featuring intricate details and discreet gold-coloured surfaces that exude elegance and athleticism.

Domagoj Dukec, the head of BMW Design, said “The BMW Concept Touring Coupé celebrates the original Sheer Driving Pleasure. A highly emotional vehicle like this shows that the passion for everything that goes into driving pleasure has been essential through the ages and will be for the future.”

Please BMW, just bring this into production already.
