  • Road To Creation: A Collaboration Between DJI and Li Auto

    Road To Creation: A Collaboration Between DJI and Li Auto

    A workshop that talks about adventure fueling the immersive technology in every frame.

    DJI and Li Auto collaborated recently, a Day Tour Camping Workshop, held on December 13, 2025 at Camp Morri Farm, Antipolo, Rizal. The event highlighted Li Auto’s new L9 model and showcased DJI Power 2000 & DJI Osmo Action 6, impressing media attendees with its versatility and reliability. Despite unpredictable weather, participants enjoyed an exclusive hands-on workshop that combined learning, exploration, and innovation—demonstrating how camping can be reimagined with modern technology, offering greater freedom and flexibility in outdoor adventures.

    Li Auto: Built for Local Conditions, Designed for Exploration

    Designed to meet the demands of the Philippine landscape, modern camping setups combine durable, weather-resistant materials with smart, modular design. Built to handle tropical heat, humidity, and changing terrain, these setups support seamless transitions from city drives to off-grid destinations. Paired with intelligent mobility and reliable power solutions, they enable confident exploration—whether along coastal routes, mountain roads, or remote camping sites.

    DJI’s Power Station that Adapts in Camping Scene

    During the event, DJI showcased DJI Power 2000 as a key enabler of the camping and road-trip setup, demonstrating how portable power plays a critical role in modern outdoor experiences. Designed for use in varied Philippine conditions, the power station supported essential equipment throughout the day—from lighting and cooking tools to mobile devices—highlighting its reliability in off-grid environments.

    Integrated into the camping area alongside Li Auto vehicles, DJI Power 2000 illustrated how intelligent mobility and portable energy work together seamlessly. Its flexible power output allowed multiple devices to run simultaneously, enabling a comfortable and well-organized campsite that transitioned smoothly from daytime activities to evening use.

    By featuring DJI Power 2000 in a real-world outdoor setup, the event emphasized its practicality not only for camping, but also for extended road trips and emergency preparedness. The demonstration reinforced DJI’s commitment to delivering smart power solutions that support exploration, creativity, and everyday reliability.

    Action Camera: A Closer Look Through Media Designed for Movement in Outdoor

    As part of the workshop program, DJI hosted a dedicated Q&A session centered on the DJI Action 6, featuring Giancarlo Viterbo of Gadget Pilipinas as the guest speaker. The discussion provided media and participants with deeper insights into the action camera’s design philosophy, target users, and real-world applications—particularly for outdoor and on-the-move scenarios.

    Giancarlo shared practical perspectives on how the DJI Action 6 performs in everyday use, highlighting features that matter most during travel, adventure, and content creation. The session allowed attendees to better understand how the camera adapts to different shooting conditions, from fast-paced movement to extended outdoor activities.

    Through this interactive exchange, the workshop emphasized DJI’s focus on listening to the creator community and engaging directly with media voices. The Q&A format reinforced the DJI Action 6 as a tool built not only for performance, but also for practical storytelling—supporting creators in capturing authentic experiences with confidence.

    • Germany Premiere: Concept Car Theory 1
    • Line-up: Lotus 99T, Emira Limited, inspired by the Lotus 99T, Lotus Eletre, Lotus Emeya
    • Interviews: Ben Payne, Vice President of Design (by appointment)

    Munich, September 4, 2025 – Lotus will make an impressive appearance at IAA Mobility 2025 at Munich’s Königsplatz. The highlight is the German premiere of the concept car Theory 1, which embodies the future of intelligent sports cars. The presentation is complemented by a tribute to Ayrton Senna with his legendary Lotus 99T F1 car and the exclusive special edition Emira Limited, inspired by the Lotus Type 99T. In addition, the all-electric Hyper-SUV Eletre and the Hyper-GT Emeya complete the model lineup, demonstrating how Lotus seamlessly blends tradition, innovation, and electrification for the future.

    Theory 1 – The Design Future of Lotus

    Theory 1 is a concept car that reflects the new Lotus design manifesto, “The Lotus Theory,”  that will form the foundation for all future Lotus cars, encapsulated through three core principles – Digital, Natural and Analogue (DNA). Digital represents a connected, immersive, and intelligent driving experience. Natural stands for emotional, human-centered design. Analogue symbolizes the continuous development of performance engineering. All three deliver the purist driving experience for which Lotus is known for.

    The vehicle features the innovative LOTUSWEAR™ driver system, which interacts in real time with both driver and passengers. Combined with sustainable materials, minimalist design, and a central driver’s seat, Theory 1 sets new standards for intuitive operation, comfort, and driving dynamics.

    “With Theory 1, we’ve built on everything Lotus has achieved so far in its 77-year history, to push the boundaries for what it means to drive a performance vehicle. We want to demonstrate that you don’t need to compromise – with both digital and analogue capabilities working harmoniously in the future car. In doing this, we are able to bring drivers the best possible immersive driving experience with raw emotion, functionality and connectivity, at the core,” explains Ben Payne, Vice President of Design at Lotus.

    Media representatives can arrange exclusive interviews with Payne at the Lotus stand.

    Motorsport Heritage Inspires Sports Car Design: Ayrton Senna’s Lotus 99T and Emira Limited, inspired by the Lotus Type 99T

    At IAA, Lotus bridges its rich history with the future. The original Lotus 99T F1 car, with which Ayrton Senna won in Monaco and Detroit in 1987, will be a special highlight at the show. Complementing this, Lotus will present the Emira Limited, inspired by the Lotus Type 99T, featuring a yellow paint scheme with blue accents that reference the legendary race car. Only twelve vehicles worldwide are available in this special livery. Both models embody the brand’s heritage and innovative spirit in motorsport.

    All-Electric Performance Cars: Hyper-SUV Eletre and Hyper-GT Emeya

    Lotus will also showcase its all-electric models at IAA. The Hyper-SUV Lotus Eletre combines outstanding performance of up to 918 hp with the highest level of comfort. Advanced driver assistance systems and a range of up to 600 kilometers ensure sporty driving dynamics over long distances. The four-door Hyper-GT Lotus Emeya accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.78 seconds, reaches speeds of up to 256 km/h, and combines luxurious comfort with Lotus’s sporting DNA. Both models demonstrate how Lotus merges sports car heritage with luxurious electrification.

    With the presentation of the Theory 1, historic and sports Lotus models, and the all-electric lineup, Lotus at IAA Mobility 2025 once again underscores the brand’s vision for the future: uniting performance, innovation, and design while carrying the thrill of driving into the future – all in line with the motto “Are you a Driver or What?”.

  • The all-new MINI John Cooper Works family now available in the Philippines

    Even more performance – even more choice.

    Philippines. MINI Asia and British United Automobiles today announced the availability of the all-new MINI John Cooper Works family. These five all-new MINI John Cooper Works models symbolise pure driving fun in its most powerful form and a unique driving experience. With the first-ever MINI John Cooper Works Electric and first-ever MINI John Cooper Works Aceman, two fully electric John Cooper Works models are now part of the MINI product portfolio for the first time. The powerful electric drives open a new chapter in the brand’s long history and demonstrate its ongoing commitment to performance and innovation. The all-new MINI John Cooper Works and all-new MINI John Cooper Works Convertible provide driving fun with a powerful TwinPower Turbo engine. In the all-new MINI John Cooper Works Countryman ALL4, enthusiasts can also enjoy driving off-road thanks to the ALL4 all-wheel drive.

    “MINI John Cooper Works boasts a cult following around the world that few others can match,” said Daren Ching, Head of MINI Asia. “Steeped in heritage and oozing pure racing DNA, these striking machines are a sight to behold on the road. Now with the addition of two fully electric models to the lineup, a new dimension of the iconic MINI go-kart feeling is born. If jolts of adrenaline are what drivers desire, I can assure them that all five models of our all-new MINI John Cooper Works family will exceed their expectations!”

    The first-ever MINI John Cooper Works Electric and first-ever MINI John Cooper Works Aceman: Electric high performance.

    The vehicle architecture of the fully electric MINI models is perfectly suited for the brand’s consistently performance-oriented character. The first-ever MINI John Cooper Works Electric and first-ever MINI John Cooper Works Aceman have up to 190 kW/258 hp and 350 Nm of instantly available system torque. Both models provide an additional 20 kW of motor power via an electric boost function, allowing for particularly dynamic acceleration. The JCW-specific suspension tuning maximises the typical MINI go-kart feeling and guarantees agile handling. High-performance tires are part of the standard equipment of both models.

    Exclusive equipment details emphasise the emotional connection to the brand’s traditional motorsport heritage. These include the red-white-black John Cooper Works logo in the style of a checkered flag from motorsports, as well as a JCW-specific Red Roof. Black side skirts, model-specific aeroblades at the C-pillar, and the accentuated rear spoiler optimise the aerodynamics for increased range. The three-door MINI John Cooper Works Electric achieves 371 km, while the five-door MINI John Cooper Works Aceman can drive up to 355 km on a single battery charge.

    The all-new MINI John Cooper Works and all-new MINI John Cooper Works Convertible: Legendary go-kart feeling with powerful acceleration. 

    A four-cylinder TwinPower Turbo engine with a displacement of two litres, 231 hp, and 380 Nm of torque offers maximum driving fun and top performance in both the all-new MINI John Cooper Works and all-new MINI John Cooper Works Convertible. The sportily tuned dual-clutch automatic transmission translates the engine power into particularly dynamic gear changes. The all-new MINI John Cooper Works sprints from 0 to 100 km/h in 6.1 seconds while the all-new MINI John Cooper Works Convertible takes 6.4 seconds. The top speed of the all-new MINI John Cooper Works is 250 km/h while the all-new MINI John Cooper Works Convertible reaches 245 km/h. For boundless open-air driving pleasure, the softtop of the Convertible can be fully retracted in just 18 seconds at speeds of up to 30 km/h.

    The large octagonal high-gloss black front grille with wide air vents for efficient engine cooling and the modern JCW logo dominates the front view of both models. Red-coloured inserts in the side air inlets on the front apron underscore the motorsport-oriented design for maximum performance. In the centre of the black rear diffuser, the centrally positioned tailpipe emphasises the character of these two top athletes. 

    The all-new MINI John Cooper Works Countryman ALL4: Extraordinary driving fun on any terrain. 

    As the largest model, the all-new MINI John Cooper Works Countryman with ALL4 all-wheel drive allows enthusiasts to drive off-road and stands for a unique combination of style, power, and adventurous spirit. The powerful engine delivers 300 hp of power, 400 Nm of maximum torque, and a top speed of 250 km/h, making the appearance of MINI’s spacious multi-talent particularly emotional. 

    This performance is also reflected in the powerful appearance of the all-new MINI John Cooper Works Countryman ALL4. In the front view, aerodynamic elements with red reflectors emphasise the wide stance, while at the rear of the vehicle, vertical taillights with the John Cooper Works Signature Mode frame the upright body. Advanced assistance systems support the driver through progressive technologies. 

    Puristic interior with motorsport accents. 

    The clear design of the interior in the all-new MINI John Cooper Works models is characterised by JCW-specific equipment details in red and black. The black JCW sports steering wheel with red decorative stitching and a six o’clock spoke made of black and red fabric provides excellent grip. The JCW sports seats offer secure support during dynamic driving. The combination of black leatherette with multi-colored knitted material in the shoulder area and red accent stitching picks up the colour pattern of the knitted surface of the dashboard. In all MINI John Cooper Works models, the brilliant sound of the exclusive Harman Kardon sound system enhances the driving experience as standard. 

    Advanced technology for maximum and comfortable driving pleasure. 

    The JCW-specific go-kart mode expands the selection options of the MINI Experience Modes in the vehicles of the all-new MINI John Cooper Works family with additional motorsport flair. The steering is set to a more direct setting, the accelerator pedal responds faster to commands for increased driving fun. Accordingly, the high-resolution OLED display provides additional performance-related data such as torque, power output, and current g-force.  

    For all MINI John Cooper Works models, the Digital Key Plus provides a convenient digital vehicle key on the smartphone. This allows the vehicle to be comfortably unlocked or locked without having to pick up the smartphone. 

    Long racing tradition with legendary successes. 

    The history of MINI John Cooper Works dates back to the year 1961. The John Cooper recognised the competitive potential of the classic Mini long before anyone else. By installing a more powerful engine, new brakes, and a more direct steering, he turned the modest small car into a race car that made the giants of the rally scene tremble in the 1960s. The three overall victories at the legendary Rallye Monte Carlo in 1964, 1965, and 1967 are among the absolute highlights of the classic Mini’s racing career. The current generation now carries the successful racing history into the future. Most recently with the impressive class victory of a prototype based on the new MINI John Cooper Works at the legendary 24-hour race at the Nürburgring. Regardless of the model, all high-performance vehicles in the new MINI 

    John Cooper Works family exude one decisive characteristic: the enthusiasm for top performance. 

    Exclusive track experience in Pampanga.

    The all-new MINI John Cooper Works family will officially debut at the Autohub Trackday on 7 September 2025 at Clark International Speedway, Pampanga. Be among the first to witness the adrenaline-pumping performance of these five models by test driving them on the track. Register now to secure your slot at https://bit.ly/AutohubFunTrackday2025!

  • Lotus revamps Eletre and Emeya line-up

    Lotus revamps Eletre and Emeya line-up

    • New ‘600’ and ‘900’ model naming reflects electrifying power output
    • Historic GT SE and Sport trim level names return
    • Revised line-up offers customers convenient choice in luxury and tech or pronounced sportiness
    • New model range, impressive performance, ground-breaking charging performance
    • Available to order now, debuts this summer at Lotus retailers

    Manila, 3 July 2025

    With the arrival of the new model year, Lotus has revamped the line-up for its Eletre hyper-SUV and Emeya hyper-GT. Thanks to a revised model range, Lotus now offers customers more convenience, clarity and tailored customization in configuring their perfect Eletre or Emeya. Key novelty is the ‘600’ and ‘900’ model names, that clearly reflects the electrifying power output of the new models. At the same time, legendary equipment level references like GT SE and SPORT from Lotus’ rich heritage return to the present.

    New line-up

    Effective immediately, Lotus offers the Eletre hyper-SUV and Emeya hyper-GT as ‘600’ or ‘900’, a reference to the two power output versions of both models. Subsequently Lotus pairs those new versions with clearly identifiable, predefined equipment levels containing popular options and choices. Meaning customers can now express a specific preference for pronounced sportiness or rather a more luxurious and technology-led specification.

    Recently, the Lotus Emira sports car preceded the Eletre and Emeya by referencing trim level from the legendary past back into the current range, introducing the Emira Turbo SE. Lotus now continues that strategy with the completely new line-up for the Eletre and Emeya, giving legendary naming’s like SPORT and GT SE a modern new appearance.

    As a result, the Lotus Eletre is now available in five clearly defined trim levels: Eletre 600, 600 GT SE and 600 SPORT SE, as well as 900 SPORT and the Eletre 900 SPORT CARBON as the absolute flagship. The Lotus Emeya follows the same nomenclature.

    Complementing these well-defined trim levels, customers can subsequently further customise their car to their own personal taste thanks to a wide selection of optional packages, individual options and colours. New colours in the pallet are Zenith White and Akoya White for the Eletre, while interior-wise customers can now also opt for the Quartz and Jasper interior themes with the new LOTUSWEAR Performance Fabric for the seats.

    Overview of main standard features per model

    As a result, the newly defined model line-up for the Lotus Eletre and Emeya now offers more convenience and tailored customisation with specific highlights for each trim level:

    Unrivaled performance, For The Drivers

    Although much has changed and has been improved for the new model year, the unrivalled performance of the Lotus Eletre and Emeya has remained untouched, resulting in the two models still being the benchmark in their respective segments. As a ‘600’, both feature a 450 kW (603 hp) all-electric dual-motor powertrain and all-wheel drive as standard, a combination that guarantees stunning performance. With a 0-100 km/h sprint in just 4.15 seconds for the Emeya 600 GT (Eletre 600: 4.5 sec) and a top speed of 250 km/h (Eletre: 256 km/h) as just some striking examples.

    Things can always go faster, and the new Eletre and Emeya ‘900’ provide unmistakable evidence, representing superlatives in terms of performance. Both rely on a 675 kW (905 hp) strong dual-motor powertrain, providing the Emeya 900 with an acceleration from a standstill to 100 km/h in a stunning 2.78 seconds (Eletre 900: 2.95 sec) and a top speed of 256 km/h (Eletre 900: 265 km/h).

    No less impressive are their electrifying range and charging performances, which boost the Eletre and Emeya to the top performers in their respective segments. With a maximum range of 610 km (WLTP; Eletre: 600 km) they are also ideally suited for long electric road trips. And when it is time for a charging stop, the Emeya, for example, also proves itself as an absolute top performer in this area. Thanks to its 800V battery technology with Advanced Lotus Hyper Charging it can be charged from 10-80% in around 14 minutes (under perfect conditions) using a 400kW DC charger (Eletre: 20 minutes from 10-80% at a 350kW DC charger), giving it the status of one of the fastest-charging EVs in the world.

    Eletre and Emeya: two of a kind

    Like every Lotus, the Eletre – a pure electric performance SUV – and Emeya – a pure electric hyper-GT – are first and foremost cars ‘For The Drivers’. Their DNA is 100% Lotus, with exceptional, class-leading ride and handling, steering and aero performance. With their sleek design, powerful electric motors and luxurious interior, the Eletre and Emeya set new standards in the world of electric vehicles. The two share common characteristics like cutting-edge technology, a sophisticated design, exceptional performance and unparalleled driving experiences, whether you’re seeking exhilarating speed, supreme comfort or advanced safety features. A signature element of the Eletre and Emeya designs is their ‘porosity’ – the aerodynamic principle of air flowing through the vehicle as well as under, over and around it. Porosity was at the heart of the Lotus Evija’s design, is integral to the Emira, and has provided clear inspiration for both the Eletre and Emeya.

    High-quality interiors with luxury materials and tactile surfaces, a pristine fit and finish, customisable ambient lighting, an intelligent driver cockpit and intuitive infotainment systems create a premium and comfortable cabin environment, with features like ventilated seats with massage enhancing the overall immersive driving experience.

    Detailed specification and pricing on the new Eletre and Emeya line-up is available at www.lotuscars.com, or at your nearest Lotus Centre.
