Leading luxury car dealership Knowl Hill Performance & Luxury has welcomed one of the rarest cars in the world to its Berkshire showroom, the Aston Martin Vulcan.

Penned by Aston’s Chief Creative Officer Marek Reichmann, the Vulcan is the most exclusive car ever made by the British brand, with just 24 examples being crafted upon its 2015 release.

And Knowl Hill is one of the only locations around where you can come and sample the scintillating supercar in all its glory by taking a look in and around the display model.

The track-only, rear-wheel-drive Vulcan is made purely from carbon fibre and is said to be Aston Martin’s most exhilarating and intense creation to date, and the figures are there to back that up.

With a 7.0-litre V12 engine producing 820bhp and 575lb ft of torque, this is one Aston Martin that certainly doesn’t need a second introduction.

It cuts quite the figure inside the Knowl Hill showroom, too. The Vulcan is remarkably low to the ground, measuring just 1,186mm tall, while dual vents on the bonnet and striking body lines hint at its blistering ability.

It’s a truly unique supercar and one that ties in perfectly with the Knowl Hill ethos. More than just a showroom, Knowl Hill Performance & Luxury offers customers a one-of-a-kind buying experience that puts the fun back into getting a new set of wheels.

The Vulcan isn’t the only ultra-rare car on display at Knowl Hill, either, as the independent dealership is also home to the BMW M4 GTS and the Aston Martin Vantage GT12, both of which are for sale.

One of only 30 UK models, Knowl Hill’s M4 GTS is proudly displayed in stunning Mineral White paint and is one of the most handsome limited-edition track-focused BMW M cars ever produced.

Sitting proudly next to the M4 GTS at Knowl Hill is the Vantage GT12 – one of just 100 examples built by Aston worldwide. This super-exclusive model is finished in pearlescent white paint with orange and black inserts to give it a racy edge.

Knowl Hill Performance & Luxury Founder Joseph Crowe said: “The Aston Martin Vulcan is a truly remarkable car and the rarest Aston Martin you’ll ever have the chance of laying your eyes on. It’s a particularly stunning model to observe both inside and out and a real limelight stealer. Knowl Hill is famous for selling the world’s finest cars, but the Vulcan is truly one of a kind and to be one of the only dealers in the world with one is a real honour and testament to our brand. We invite all supercar enthusiasts to come down to the showroom and sample the Vulcan and our relaxed atmosphere.”

The first British Bentley dealership is unveiled with the new brand identity, luxury, comfort and modern.

• New design is inspired by company’s history and modern luxury retailing
• Created with the same luxurious materials and hand-crafted with the same attention to detail as Bentley cars
• New corporate identity rolled out as brand builds up to the launch of new Bentayga
• Customer commissioning areas for creative personalisation

Bentley Berkshire today becomes the first of Bentley’s UK showrooms to implement the brand’s new corporate identity, following an extensive upgrade to the Pangbourne sales and aftersales centre.

Drawing inspiration from the British luxury marque’s rich 96-year heritage, as well as the best in modern luxury retailing, the template for the new design was first showcased with the opening of CW1 House – a flagship showroom concept at Bentley’s headquarters in Crewe.

Bentley Berkshire has integrated the new, modern façade within the site’s existing footprint; the powerful and contemporary new look perfectly complementing the dealership’s familiar Georgian brick-built frontage.

Sarah Simpson, Bentley Regional Director UK, commented: “The new-look Bentley Berkshire site has been designed to give our customers a bold, clear and contemporary vision of the Bentley brand, and is finished with the same level of luxury for which our cars are renowned.

“With the imminent arrival of our new Bentayga, Bentley is introducing a new world of customisation to the SUV segment.The new showroom design will enable customers visiting Bentley Berkshire to view and choose from an even greater breadth of luxury options, paint colours and wood species available on Bentayga, and across the wider model range.”

Stepping inside the new showroom, Bentley customers will notice that the luxury materials which adorn the British luxury brand’s cars (notably leather, wood and polished metals) have been integrated into every feature of the design. The carpets are made from the same rich lambswool used in Bentley’s vehicle interior carpets, the furniture is trimmed in Bentley leather, and customer commissioning areas are enveloped by contemporary solid oak panels. Showroom seating, tables, display stands and the concierge coffee and champagne bar are all hand-trimmed with bespoke, highly polished stainless steel.
