Reductionism continues inside the cabin, with switches kept to a bare minimum. In their place is JLR’s all-new Touch Pro Duo infotainment system, which mates the 10-inch screen in the usual position with another similar screen at knee level. Other physical switches — such as the steering wheel controls and climate control buttons — have all been replaced with touch-sensitive buttons for a minimalist feel.

1. Who, or what started you on karting? I’ve always loved racing, when I went for F1 here a couple of times, I realized that it was one of my dreams, so I researched on what we could do to get there - that’s what got me into it and I’ve loved it ever since.

1. Who, or what started you on karting? I went for holiday in Phuket and visited a go-kart track with my dad who took me around on a two-seater kart. It was quite slow compared to the ones here, but I really enjoyed it and loved the speed even though my dad is quite a bad driver. I cried when we had to go, and really wanted to get my own (go-kart). When we got back to Singapore, he bought me a secondhand kart. From then on I just practiced a lot at the old track in Jurong — I did a lot of hours and really enjoyed it.

7. Do the daytime-style floodlights help you, or are they of no help? (Daniel) I don’t think it changes (the situation) too much — the lighting’s pretty good; you get some darker spots but the darkness won’t ever be the cause of a crash.

Especially at a time like now, where every single driver looking for a large coupe has a long list of cars to choose from; namely the Germans, with the Porsche 911, BMW 6 Series and Mercedes-Benz E-Class Coupe to consider. People love these models simply because each of the manufacturers manage to squeeze so many goodies into their respective cars; to the point it might take you a year to read up on the instruction manual and another twelve years to actually come down to using all of the functions. And I even have some acquaintances who bought a certain car and did not even know it has a certain function until it was pointed out to them — “Oh, I didn’t know it could do that.”
