Porsche’s braided carbon wheels: So perfectly proportioned, so special, so exclusive and SO EXPENSIVE. A set of them is almost £14,000 and they’re individually woven from Porsche’s carbon braiding machine, which just so happens to be the largest in the world. Porsche certainly knows how to make a wheel. It also knows how to charge for them, through its Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur arm.
LOTUS EUROPA: Lotus’s fourth-best-selling car of all time, the Europa, is an absolute stunner. With 82bhp, it’s just 7bhp up on my 1.4-litre VW Lupo, but was doubtless an absolute peach to drive.
