’26 Afeela 1
(Can be purchased from Brand Central)
A new ‘mobility’ to challenge the concept of transportation.
Sony Honda Mobility’s Afeela brand was presented at CES 2024 as a revolutionary mobility set to transform transportation into a rich experience. At CES 2025, the veil was lifted on the brand’s long-awaited first production model. It was named the Afeela 1, representing that this is only the beginning of the story.
The aesthetics of the Afeela 1 have carried over much of the technology and passion set out by the prototype. The flowing, well-balanced exterior has been finely honed to remove any and all embellishments, with no door handles, and every sensing device from the and radar to the image sensors carefully tucked inside the bodywork.
The interior, on the other hand, is designed to be the ultimate mobility environment — a creative entertainment space. It features large displays for entertainment, and every single passenger seat has been equipped with an optimized sound system, with no expense spared in noise-cancelling and spatial audio technologies.
This mobility is also notable for its personal agent that is able to converse in natural speech. The Afeela 1 is able to evolve and learn passengers’ preferences and habits, becoming an ideal travel partner that’s able to engage in conversations and discuss travel plans.
Naturally, the Afeela 1 has not ignored its function as a car either. The electric motors, brakes, and suspension are controlled as a single system thanks to the use of control technologies trained through robotics research, which allows for optimal ride comfort and handling on any road surface.
It also features proprietary Automated Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS). Data from the previously mentioned sensing devices is analyzed by a high-performance ECU boasting 800
TOPS of computing power, diligently assisting the driver all the way from departure to parking at the destination.
As a product, the Afeela 1 offers two trim levels: the Afeela 1 Origin and Afeela 1 Signature. The model featured here is the Afeela 1 Signature, which features 21-inch wheels, the rear entertainment system, and the center camera monitoring system as standard equipment.
Deliveries of the Afeela 1 will begin mid-2026. This revolutionary vehicle is set to challenge the concept of transportation.
’25 Chevrolet Corvette CX Concept
(Can be purchased from Brand Central)
An electric hypercar that offers a glimpse into the future of the Corvette.
The Corvette CX Concept is unmistakably pure Corvette. Designed for street and track, the Corvette CX Concept is a futuristic vision of an electrified Corvette Hypercar.
From its athletic proportions and lunging profile, a cockpit nestled among powerful haunches, simple and refined surfaces, to an integrated visible understructure and a lightweight ultra-functional interior, every inch is intentional and has the driver in mind.
The CX integrates active aerodynamics, including moving front and rear elements, optimized underside geometry that provides efficiency for the street and high performance for the track. A fan downforce system with thrust vectoring enables front and rear aero balance. As an all-wheel-drive, four E-motors are integrated into the RESS understructure, providing over 2,000 horsepower.
Chevrolet Corvette CX.R Vision Gran Turismo Concept
(Can be purchased from Brand Central)
A futuristic GT racer born from the Corvette lineage.
The Corvette CX.R Vision Gran Turismo Concept was designed exclusively for the racetrack and offers a glimpse into the future of Corvette GT Racing.
The Corvette CX.R Vision Gran Turismo Concept features aggressive aero, a lower stance, and is lighter than the Corvette CX Concept. Powered by an E-Fuel/Electric Hybrid system, the CX.R VGT utilizes two front E-motors and one rear E-motor paired with a small displacement, high-revving twin-turbo V8, providing both performance and range for endurance racing.
The CX.R Vision Gran Turismo interior is designed for track use, with lightweight, minimal foam seat trim to provide head and neck support for extreme cornering forces. The steering wheel features physical buttons and knobs for better usability with racing gloves.
The yellow and black livery embodies the tradition of Corvette GT race cars from the past 25 years.
’02 Renault Avantime 3.0 V6 24V
(Can be purchased from Brand Central / Used Cars)
A unique coupé that tests the boundaries of monoform design.
The Renault Avantime combines a peculiar body with the highly acclaimed European minivan, the Renault Espace. Born as a design study from Renault’s chief designer, Patrick Le Quement, the Avantime made its first appearance at the Geneva Motor Show in 1999. When Renault announced plans to release the car in 2001, people were shocked.
At first glance, the Avantime looks like a minivan, but it has only two doors. Inside, the vehicle features two rows of seats, accommodating five passengers. Renault explained that the Avantime was intended to be a niche coupé.
This becomes clear once you step inside. The luxury of occupying a large minivan space with a small number of people truly defines it as a niche car. The rear seat offers an amazing field of vision. With all the side windows rolled down and the massive sunroof open, it provides a sense of freedom similar to that of a convertible.
In its country of origin, a 2L turbo engine was available, but in Japan, the Avantime was equipped with a 3L, DOHC 24-valve V6. Its maximum output was 207 BHP at 6,000 rpm, with a maximum torque of 29.5 kgfm at 3,750 rpm. True to its character, the Avantime’s ride quality is composed, with abundant torque and a smooth ride that is characteristic of Renault. The driving experience is so refined that even saloons and coupes are no match for it.
The Avantime is a testament to Renault’s individuality, proving that the application of a monoform body is not limited to a minivan.
