Behold: the GFG Style 2030 – a ‘hyper SUV’ designed by former Italdesign brothers Giorgetto and Fabrizio Giugiaro – originally set to debut  at the (now cancelled) Geneva International Motor Show later this month.

A ‘showpiece’ of Saudi Arabia’s ‘Vision 2030’ project designed to expand the kingdom’s industrial presence and (ahem) reduce its future reliance on oil, the 2030 is a 4×4 all electric carbon fibre and aluminium sports car that accelerates to 100km/h in 3.5 seconds and on to a top speed of 200km/h with 370km of range on a full charge.

Behold: the Brabus 800 Adventure XLP – no ordinary G-Wagon – rather, a G63 kitted out with larger twin turbochargers (making 800bhp), a high-flow exhaust, boosted suspension and a half meter longer wheelbase to accommodate the landing pad for an onboard Wingcopter drone.

All this, and a fully customised luxury interior – yours for a mere €570,000.

The embroidery of Parisian artist Cécile Davidovici  – family memories sourced from home movie stills and stitched into linen. Of the collection, entitled ‘<<1988’  she sez:

When my mother died, I started watching VHS tapes from my childhood. I use primarily cotton and linen. I find it evokes the same warmth I feel when I think of my childhood.
