Today marks a major new milestone for automotive interiors with the combined design and workings between d:class automotive and Formation Industries sub-brand @appli_k with the unveiling of over 500 hours of combined work with @dclassauto to bring an entirely new era in automotive interior design and processes to the market.

During a meeting between David Price and designer Chris Mcgee in 2020, the idea to create a collaborative interior for the demo McLaren 600LT was put forward, and little did they know quite how much it would change everything.

Over 350 hours of design concepts, test panels, and painstaking production have given life to the interior and more so to redefine the visual and textural expectations for automotive interiors going forward.
Drawing inspiration from classic marquetry and over 8 years of perfecting Chris’s work with @alcantara_company beautiful materials, a 3D visual and textural panel was created, that still allowed for comfort and flexibility. Yet offering a visually stunning and captivating interior that must be seen to fully appreciated.

@dclassauto put in over 150 painstaking hours into bringing the panel pieces to life and creating their interpretation of the @Appli_k panel work with their in-house CNC @dclassautostitch stitch into the seat base, door cards, and lumbar support which was brought together with the panels from Applik with beatiful stitching. The orange micro-piping acts like a picture frame to the shapes and contains them whilst ensuring that you are drawn in deeply. Flawlessly combing the panels into sublime, comfortable, and desirable pieces, in a way only d:class automotive does, giving the car a feeling of a high fashion model, ready to display on the catwalk.

We hope you see the beauty and the potential in this new standard for luxury automotive interiors, and we welcome your thoughts and enquiries.

Porsche 918 Spyder Steering Wheel Retrim

By Harry Pitcher • April 23, 2026
This is the second Porsche 918 Spyder to come through d:class for a steering wheel retrim. The reason for this one, however, is a little unusual. The previous owner chose to cut corners by hand-painting the racing band orange... hardly the right approach on any car, let alone one of this calibre. From factory, this 918 Spyder featured a distinctive neon green racing band, designed to tie in with other signature details across the car, such as the rev needle, rear badging, and brake calipers. Naturally, the new owner wanted this put right, and the car was promptly brought to us for a wheel retrim.

Ferrari 328 GTS Interior Repairs

By Harry Pitcher • April 22, 2026
This beautiful Ferrari 328 GTS came to d:class with a common repair job. Mickey mouse had moved himself in whilst the vehicle was being long-term stored, and fancied a diet of 80s Italian leather. This does happen with vehicles being stored over long periods of time, especially those who store their cars with vehicle storage companies near any farmland. So, the job was to retrim both seat bases, retrim the handbrake lever, both of the seat side trims, and some of the rear bulkhead trim. Who knew mice could have such exotic dietary requirements. Mickey wasn't very tidy and left a lot of mess, so we gave the car a clean inside and out, ready for the customer. We don't typically post this kind of work, but we are suckers here for a 1980s Ferrari, so we had to shoot it....and make a Fast and Furious parody clip. Enjoy!
