Continuing a traditional association with automobile racing that began in 1897, Louis Vuitton presented a bespoke Louis Vuitton Trophy Trunk that held the 2025 Montreal Grand Prix winner’s trophy presented to the victor of the competition, Mercedes driver George Russell. This trophy trunk was not the first this year; it also created a unique Louis Vuitton Trophy Trunk for the 2025 Monaco Grand Prix.

Louis Vuitton also introduced new signage at the Montreal Grand Prix that features the atelier’s focus on vibrant culture, velocity, and heat. Louis Vuitton’s association with Formula 1 racing this year aligns with a company tradition, encapsulated in the slogan “Victory Travels in Louis Vuitton.”

Why create a bespoke trunk for the Montreal Grand Prix

Louis Vuitton celebrates Montreal’s energy, culture, history, and innovation with the presentation of this one-of-a-kind trunk and the introduction of new trackside signage. The signage consists of the company name plus a large graphic capital “V” logo, which the company asserts stands for both Vuitton and Victory.

Vuitton used the Montreal Grand Prix for both the bespoke Trophy Trunk and the trackside signage to recognize Canada’s Quebec province’s largest city as a center not only of international racing but also of fashion, entertainment, sports, and culture.

Louis Vuitton’s history with racing

Louis Vuitton created the trunk for the Montreal Grand Prix at the same atelier, or studio, in Asnières, France, where Georges Vuitton designed the first trunks for automobile travel in 1897. As part of LVMH’s role as a Global Partner with Formula 1, Louis Vuitton Trophy Trunks celebrate racing excellence and create a relationship with F1’s millions of fans worldwide.

Machine, Wheel, Alloy Wheel

Monterey Car Week got underway this weekend, and there is a bevy of incredible events happening to make any car enthusiast salivate for ten days straight. Starting last Friday, visitors spent the weekend exploring the history of races, checking out a slew of historic race cars, and yesterday was the historic hillclimb many come to see pre-reunion. Today, racers get a chance to collect Poker cards and eat great meals on the route during the Poker Rally and also check out the British side of Monterey Car Week. However, we are looking forward today after Gordon Murray dropped a teaser of what we will get to see at The Quail later this week.

It is always a pleasure to return to California, and I am looking forward to sharing our latest Special Vehicles creation with everyone attending The Quail and enthusiasts around the world. We have been working on something very special – I can’t wait for the covers to come off. – Professor Gordon Murray CBE, Group Executive Chairman

Porsche just proved the Cayenne Electric is the most impressive performance vehicle you can drive
Car, Transportation, Vehicle

I have seen the movies. I know there is no way that a car can survive in the jet blast of a plane. I remember the scene from Casino Royale. And for me, that is science. But the engineers at Porsche and Stratolaunch aren’t so sure. They operate in the real world of science, and they came together to see if the Porsche Cayenne Electric could withstand the take-off power of one of the largest and most powerful aircraft in the world. Why? Because they can and because curiosity oftentimes leads to something awesome. Spoiler alert…the car holds up. But don’t take my word for it.

The car is its own beast. It’s got the ability to keep up and play in this space. – Orlando Bloom, Porsche ambassador

Indian commits to American artistry with Signature Series
Machine, Spoke, Helmet

There is something about sitting on the back of a motorcycle that you can’t feel anywhere else. Road trips feel different on the back of a bike versus in a car. Maybe it is the solo aspect of it. Maybe there is the feeling of the wind. Who knows? What I do know is that there is nothing like a bike ride through the countryside. The winding roads, the sunsets through the visor of the helmet, all of it is unrivaled. Indian Motorcycle understands this, and they have since they became the first American motorcycle company. Now, they have dropped a new Signature Series of four motorcycles echoing their commitment to American artistry and craftsmanship.

Since 1901, Indian Motorcycle has pursued the ultimate intersection of form and function – motorcycles that are as beautiful in design as they are sophisticated in performance – Mike Kennedy, CEO of Indian Motorcycle
