New car models are on the way!

Bulgari Aluminum Vision Gran Turismo
*Available at Brand Central from late February.

An ultra-high-performance street car clad in many of the features of a racing car.

Introduced in 1998, the Bulgari Aluminum revolutionized the world of wristwatches. Sporty, smart, essential, yet exquisite. The Bulgari Aluminum Vision Gran Turismo is a digital concept car born from these elements of the Bulgari Aluminum watch.

The shape, materials, and colors of the car are inspired by the design and spirit of Bulgari Aluminum. The body shape is a barchetta style, the prototype of the sports car. It symbolizes dynamic driving, lightness, and high performance.

The styling is a pure combination of simple geometric shapes that fully expresses the creativity and individuality that is the tradition of Italian-style car design. It also pays homage to the many concept cars that appeared in the 1960s and 1970s, the golden age of Italian carrozzeria. The timeless, one-of-a-kind appearance that emerges from this is a perfect embodiment of Bulgari's DNA, which is not influenced by short-term trends or fashions, while incorporating innovative concepts and styles.

＜The Bulgari Aluminum Gran Turismo Limited Edition is available as a gift to those who have purchased the watch.
Purchasers of the "Bulgari Aluminum Gran Turismo Limited Edition" chronograph watch and those who register using the QR code will receive the car as a special prize and will be able to experience the car before it goes on sale at Brand Central in late February (car tickets will be distributed monthly starting in late January). The "Bulgari Aluminum Gran Turismo Limited Edition" commemorates the 10th anniversary of the "Vision Gran Turismo," and together with the "Bulgari Aluminum Gran Turismo Limited Edition," visitors can enjoy the innovative digital concept car by Bulgari.


Genesis X Gran Berlinetta Vision Gran Turismo Concept
*Available at Brand Central.

A sports coupe that embodies the athletic elegance pursued by Genesis.

The Genesis X Gran Berlinetta Vision Gran Turismo Concept is an emotional embodiment of Genesis' design philosophy of "Athletic Elegance. Its design harmonizes the cabin-backward proportions consistent across the entire Genesis lineup with Genesis' distinctive anti-wedge style based on parabolic tension theory.

The design language of the Genesis X Gran Berlinetta Vision Gran Turismo Concept is pure and muscular, with peaks of visual volume around the wheels. In the front design, the crest grille is abstracted and merged with the four headlamps according to the new conception of Sport Genesis. The body sides are balanced from front to rear, blending into the two iconic lines of the Genesis.
The similarities with other Genesis models can also be seen. The body side gouges push what should be there rearward, converging into a rear spoiler and volume at the rear end of the body for aerodynamic stability at high speeds.
The interior is a development of Genesis's focus on the "aesthetics of blank space. The greatest priority was placed on the ability of the pilot to concentrate on driving and to achieve the best performance on the race circuit.

The digital panoramic interface is an information center linked to the surround digital monitoring system, and steer-by-wire grip commands ensure precise movement. Quilted bolster pads protect the pilot from quick movements during races and pit stops.

The Genesis X Gran Berlinetta Vision Gran Turismo Concept also features impressive aerodynamics. The designers integrated aero parts into the car body and balanced the surface as well as the internal flow of the car to achieve a Cd value of 0.34.

The powertrain features a Lambda II V6 engine mounted up front, with Genesis E-SC technology providing electric power assist; the V6 engine produces a maximum output of 870 HP (882 PS) at 10,000 rpm and a maximum torque of 790 ft-lb (109.2 kgfm), and the ESC The motor adds another 201 HP (204 PS) of power and 196 ft-lb (27 kgfm) of torque. As a result, this hybrid unit produces 1,071 HP (1,086 PS) of power and 986 ft-lb (136.3 kgfm) of torque, giving this vehicle an unmatched combination of beauty and power.

■"Suzuki Jimny XC '18"
*Available at Brand Central.

Amazing rough road driving ability that surpasses its size. Japan's proud micro off-roader.

The Jimny is a cross-country 4WD model sold by Suzuki since 1970. A derivative model registered as a small passenger car also exists and has been included in the lineup of successive models, but the Jimny is basically a Japanese mini-vehicle.

The second generation in 1981, the third generation in 1998, and the fourth generation in 2018 have continued to develop, but what has remained consistent is the lightweight and compact body designed for a kei car, ladder frame, rigid-axle suspension, and large-diameter tires. Although some RWD models have been included in the lineup at one time, the basic concept of all models is still the same: part-time 4WD.

The rough road drivability of this full-fledged off-roader packaging is highly evaluated not only in Japan but also in the world, and it is strongly supported as an infrastructure vehicle that can be used in harsh driving environments such as snowy and mountainous areas. It has also been supported worldwide as a base vehicle for motorsports, where rough roads are a prerequisite.

One of the features of the fourth-generation Jimny unveiled in 2018 is its styling design, with a square body shape and round headlamps, reminiscent of its roots. In addition, comfort has been enhanced, and driving stability and ride comfort at high speeds, which had been considered a structural weakness for an off-roader, have also been improved. The 660 cc turbo engine has been specially tuned, and the traditional part-time 4WD mechanism has been reverted to a mechanical sub-transmission.

An electronically controlled brake LSD traction control system, which prevents the loss of drive power, is also standard.
The most popular model in the lineup is the high-end XC, which is well equipped with cruise control and steering wheel audio switches.
