The gunmetal grey 2.6-tonne mass glistens in the early morning Californian sun as seagulls hover over the Pacific Ocean. Waves lash against the coast, as a long, winding road covered with oak trees is behind us while another stretch welcomes us towards San Francisco. The 650-mile State Road 1, popularly called the Pacific Coast Highway, kisses the coast through pretty much the length of the state. Across multi-lane expressways and narrow two-lane stretches, your eye cannot decide whether to rest on the beautiful Pacific Ocean or the stark landscapes on the other side. Arguably one of the most gorgeous driving roads on the planet, it plays host to some of the most spectacular sights of nature. And at this moment, to a car that’s fading into history books for all the right reasons — after all, this is the model that has saved the company more than once over the last ten years.
