Lotus And Norwich City FC Partnership To End
June 24, 2024
Norwich City Football Club recently announced that our friends at Lotus will no longer be the club’s principal partner.
The full statement says:
Norwich City can announce that the club’s principal partnership with Lotus will come to an end this summer.
From the start of the 2024/25 season, the club will work with a new principal partner, with the existing agreement with Lotus to conclude.
Norwich City commercial director Sam Jeffery said: “We’ve been really proud to have Lotus adorn our shirts for the last three seasons, not just because it’s such an iconic brand, but because of the shared Norfolk heritage.
“On behalf of the club, I’d like to thank Lotus for their support during this partnership and look forward to welcoming them to Carrow Road for the season ahead.”
Matt Windle, managing director at Lotus Cars, added: “We’ve loved being principal partner and seeing our logo on Norwich City’s shirts for the last three years. We’re looking forward to continuing our support of the club and foundation over the coming years.”
A club announcement on a new principal partner and front-of-shirt sponsor will follow in the coming weeks.

The bar was open for guests to have an evening drink and the workshop doors were up so they could get a closer look at some of the impressive classics we are currently working on.
The Return Of The Ford RS200 And MK1 Escort
June 24, 2024
The high-performance motorsport division of the DRVN Automotive Group, Boreham Motorworks, has entered a worldwide brand license agreement with the Ford Motor Company. This partnership will see the production and remastering of some of Ford’s most historically significant road, race, and rally icons.
The first vehicle to be revived under this agreement is the Ford RS200. Celebrating its 40th anniversary, this new version of the RS200 will be a ground-up build, designed as a road-legal, Group B-inspired driver’s car. Originally launched in 1984, the Ford RS200 was engineered for the World Rally Championship, featuring a mid-engine layout, an advanced four-wheel-drive system, and a lightweight composite body. Its return will no doubt be met with celebration as one of the most admired rally cars of the 20th century.
In addition to the RS200, Boreham Motorworks will also produce blueprint-accurate, period-sympathetic continuations of other iconic Ford vehicles, beginning with the Ford MK1 Escort. First introduced in the late 1960s, the MK1 Escort quickly became a motorsport legend due to its lightweight design and advanced suspension setup, which provided exceptional handling and agility on both road and rally stages. This remastered MK1 Escort will be produced in very limited numbers and will carry continuation VIN numbers, preserving its historical authenticity.
Boreham Motorworks will offer these exclusive vehicles alongside membership to The Boreham High-Performance Club. This invitation-only club gives members driving experiences on a global scale.
At least five more iconic Ford vehicles will be celebrated in this series, with the Ford MK1 Escort continuation making its public debut later this year. Interested parties can register their interest directly with Boreham Motorworks right now!
This collaboration comes at an already exciting time for Ford Performance Motorsports, which is expanding its racing programs globally. Upcoming projects include the Mustang GT3 at Le Mans, a new Ford Raptor for the Dakar rally in 2025, and Ford’s return to the pinnacle of motorsport.

The Bugatti Tourbillon
June 24, 2024
Bugatti has once again set a new standard in the hypercar world with the introduction of the Bugatti Tourbillon. Following the incredible lineage of the Veyron and Chiron, the Tourbillon marks the beginning of a new era, blending cutting-edge technology and mechanical genius as this beautiful new car combines an all-new V16 engine with an electrified powertrain!
Powertrain and Performance
The Bugatti Tourbillon, named after the intricate and timeless watchmaking invention, represents a move away from tradition for the French car manufacturer. Instead of the iconic W16 engine, the Tourbillon features an all-new 8.3-litre, naturally aspirated V16 engine, paired with an electric powertrain. This hybrid system, developed in collaboration with Cosworth, delivers a mindblowing 1,800 horsepower.
The advanced powertrain includes a front e-axle with two electric motors and an additional motor at the rear. The result… insane agility and traction. With this hybrid setup, the Tourbillon has a top speed in excess of 250 mph!
Design Excellence and Aerodynamics
You can clearly see that the Tourbillon has been designed with both beauty and function in mind. It features Bugatti’s signature horseshoe grille, Bugatti Line, a central ridge, and a dual-colour split. In very simple terms…it’s beautiful!
Aerodynamically, the Tourbillon is equally as impressive. It includes a submerged rear wing that provides perfect equilibrium at high speeds and an advanced diffuser concept that enhances balance and efficiency.
Luxurious Interior and Craftsmanship
Taking inspiration from horology (the study of time and the art of measuring it), the cabin of the Tourbillon has a fixed hub steering wheel paired with a Swiss-made analogue instrument cluster. The centre console is made from crystal glass and anodised aluminium and houses intricate mechanical switches and a deployable high-definition digital screen.
Again, my words don’t seem to fully convey how beautiful this car truly is.
Advanced Materials and Structural Integrity
The Tourbillon’s chassis and body structure are made from next-generation T800 carbon composite, which integrates the battery as a structural element. This integration enhances rigidity and weight savings. Additionally, the use of advanced materials and 3D-printed components contributes to a lighter, stiffer structure.
Bugatti Tourbillon
The Bugatti Tourbillon is set to begin customer deliveries in 2026 and will be limited to just 250 units. With a starting price of just over £3.2 million, this hypercar is set to be a highly collectable vehicle.
All that being said though, I feel like this is one car I need to drive just once so I can experience its power and beauty firsthand.
