Minimalist Website Build with Luxury High-End Tone

We are building a premium automotive group landing page for The Automotive Group — representing a curated portfolio of 5 high-end automotive brands.

The website should feel more like a digital showroom or editorial experience than a traditional dealership site. We want to model the design direction on: Mouse Motors
https://www.mousemotors.com

Create a clean, image-led, tile-based landing page that acts as a gateway into multiple automotive brands, with simple supporting brand pages.
