This evolution in design aesthetics finds beauty in purity and subtraction, letting reflections of light sculpt intricate and compelling shapes across its surface.

FEEL AND EXPRESS
Nothing quite matches the sensation of being in a Sontana Y4s on an open road. You’re reminded that driving can be genuinely exhilarating. An outstanding feature of this car is how it can feel marvellously comfortable too. Teyami has created a range of sophisticated technologies which allow you to modify your Sontana and enjoy the driving experience you want, when you want it. Also, to help Sontana Y4s tackle winding roads, there’s intelligent Torque Vectoring by Braking technology.

2024 Wolfe Javelin Evo SL
In 2024 Wolfe reintroduced the Javelin Evo as a sportback with great fanfare! After being discontinued for years, it is now back with a vengeance. Ranging from the SL (Sport-Line) to the Turbo, all the way up to the RS badge, it covers all enthusiasts markets and dreams.
In the base SL model, you will get a 2.6L Inline 5 instead of the V6 Turbo or race-tuned V6 of the RS model. Nothing to sneeze at, as it develops 280 horsepowers, thanks to it’s VCTAL (Variable Cam Timing And Lift) and being mated to 8-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters. The tuned torsen AWD system mated to a viscous center diff might be a bit older but still performs very well in this trim, with a top speed of 260kph and a 5.4s 0-100 acceleration.
As with many manufacturers, the costs of aluminium greatly increased and the last few years and Wolfe decided also to go back to more basic galvanized chassis instead of a composite heavy one with a lot of alu. The suspension with multi-link in the rear and a real double wishbone front, thanks to the engine being longitudinally mounted, is very simple with semi-active dampers and driving modes, but no electronically controlled fancy suspension here. It still easily reach 1.05g on the skidpad. Keeping things simple is Wolfe’s motto.
The interior was kept very simple as well on the SL, looks like a typical standard 5-seater sedan with an older generation infotainment system - higher trims gets fancier and fancier options. It does get a few sporty trims inside to make it more special.
RS trim pictured
Overall the SL hopes to bring fun and performance to lower budgets - try one today! If you have more budget, you could always splurge for a RS as well!
The SL trim MSRP is 27,900 AMU, contact your Wolfe dealership today to reserve one.
