Hello Bugatti It was only a few months ago, as the sun was just beginning to rise, and the city was starting to experience its usual hustle and bustle of the Sytner marketing team. They drove the Bugatti Chiron Pur Sport to some of Manchester’s most iconic locations to showcase their arrival. Fast forward to today and we officially say Hello to Bugatti Manchester! Sytner has built one of only two Official Bugatti dealerships in the UK. The team clearly spared no detail and have created a state-of-the-art dealership situated perfectly in Knutsford with excellent accessibility from all major motorway networks. This dealership really is a stunning place and makes for the perfect setting to sit back and enjoy some of the groups certified stock (which I can’t imagine will stick around for…

It’s finally here and it’s ready to make an impact! Welcome The Ford Mustang Mach E. This is a very important car for Ford as it’s their first fully electric offering and sets the tone for the company’s future. It features class-leading performance and will compete with the European rivals like the Volkswagen ID.4. So, how competitive is it and will it be received well by drivers in the UK? To find out we are taking the Mach E on a trip from our offices in Manchester to the beautiful Cotswold’s.

It includes some city driving,…

“ITS A HANDSOME CAR THAT’S FUN TO DRIVE WHETHER YOU’RE IN THE CITY OR COMMUT. ING LONG DIS. TANCES AND IT EVEN HAS THE RANGE TO TAKE YOU THERE.” When we first reviewed the Polestar 2 in December last year, it was still difficult to do things with a new wave of COVID cases at the time. However, this summer was a very different story and following “Freedom Day”, we were given the opportunity to take on the Polestar 2 again. This is especially fun for us after seeing the “Experimental” edition of the 2 at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in July. So, what’s different for us this time round? Well, for starters we’ve had the opportunity to drive a lot more electric cars over the past nine months, so…

Compared to most traditional car manufacturers who are developing EVs, Audi has been a lot more conventional. With the e-tron Sportback S, it’s not seeking to make a statement or push boundaries. It’s purpose is simply to help regular SUV drivers make the jump to electric. It’s taken familiar concepts from their successful cars and merged them with a new electric SUV that rivals the Tesla Model X, Jaguar I-Pace and Mercedes EQC. Essentially, Audi has taken the family SUV and electrified it with the e-tron then given it a sloping roofline, S-Line credentials and more power. The result is a fast electric family SUV that doesn’t sacrifice sportiness or practicality. For fans of the Q7, this is perhaps the most tempting SUV on the market today and we suspect…

Head of Buisness Tell us about your role and how long you’ve been head of business. I am Head of Business at Audi Approved Erdington, and also have responsibility for our Audi Divisional Digital Contact Centre.
