A Limited Edition Grenadier from Arcane Works

INEOS Automotive has unveiled the INEOS Grenadier Detour, a highly exclusive limited edition model marking the debut of its new Arcane Works division. With only 200 units set for production, the Detour offers unparalleled personalisation and long-distance comfort, setting a new standard in the 4×4 market.

Arcane Works aims to create rare and distinctive vehicles, and the Detour is its inaugural project. Each vehicle will be hand-finished in the UK, incorporating high-quality materials from renowned UK suppliers. These include premium leathers from Bridge of Weir, luxurious cashmere from Johnstons of Elgin, and unique badging crafted by British jewellers, Vaughtons.

Customers can choose from a wide range of customisation options, including a bespoke paint palette, an exclusively tailored exhaust system, and detailed interior and exterior finishes. This level of personalisation ensures that each Detour is a unique expression of its owner’s style and preferences.

George Ratcliffe, Commercial Director of INEOS Automotive, explained the philosophy behind Arcane Works: “We chose the Arcane name because the vehicles it creates will be so unique as to be rarely spotted in the wild. By working in small batches and hand-finishing each car, we can offer a level of individuality not found elsewhere in the 4×4 market. The Grenadier Detour, our first launch, is aptly named for those who enjoy driving and appreciate the journey as much as the destination.”

The Detour's exclusive features include 18-inch forged alloy wheels, a specially designed front grille with headlight surrounds, and four unique paint finishes: Magma Red, Whiteout Blue, Squall Green, and Storm Force Silver. These colours are meticulously polished by hand to achieve a flawless finish. For those seeking the ultimate in customisation, Arcane Works offers a bespoke paint option, allowing the Detour to be sprayed in a one-off colour matched to the customer’s specification.

The vehicle also boasts a specially created exterior contrast pack with new color options for the skid plates, roof rails, and rear ladder, as well as sleek decoloured exterior lighting. Inside, the Detour offers an array of personalisation options, including satin finishes for the transmission tunnel, doors, and air vents, along with tactile leathers and fabrics for key driver touch points.

The interior features four fine-grain Bridge of Weir leathers for the quilted seat upholstery and two cashmeres from Johnstons of Elgin for the headlining. Each Detour model will also include a laser-etched aluminum door scuff plate indicating its limited-edition status, and subtle Arcane Works badging designed by Vaughtons.

The INEOS Grenadier Detour not only showcases a unique set of features but also serves as a test bed for new technologies and systems for future INEOS vehicles. This includes potential engine modifications, new chassis systems, and innovative materials.

With its limited production run and bespoke craftsmanship, the INEOS Grenadier Detour represents the pinnacle of personalisation and exclusivity in the 4×4 market.
