Bentley Continental Flying Spur (2005)

Bentley Continental Flying Spur (2005)

The Bentley Continental Flying Spur is a four-door variant of the Bentley Continental GT coupe and the Bentley Continental GTC convertible. The Bentley Continental Flying Spur was introduced in 2005, and is presently Bentley's fastest four-door sedan.The Continental Flying Spur is equipped with a 6.0 L, twin-turbocharged W12 engine producing 552 bhp (412 kW), with a top speed of 195 mph (314 km/h). Permanent four-wheel drive is standard. As with the Continental GT, the Continental Flying Spur is built on the Volkswagen Group D platform. Some consider the Bentley as a rebadged Volkswagen Phaeton with different styling, and a more powerful engine, most of the technical components being identical to those on the Phaeton. The car was designed by the same team that produced the Continental GT and Continental GTC.

The Continental Flying Spur is currently built at Bentley's factory in Crewe, England. Due to a lack of capacity at the Crewe factory upon the car's introduction, Flying Spurs destined for markets other than the USA and UK were built at Volkswagen's Transparent Factory in Dresden, Germany. This arrangement ended in 2006 when all assembly work reverted to Crewe.

For 2009, Bentley will introduce a Continental Flying Spur Speed model. Similar to the Continental GT Speed, engine output will be increased to 600 bhp (450 kW), with a top speed of 200 mph (320 km/h).

Bentley Arnage Best Car

Bentley Arnage Best Car

The Bentley Arnage is a luxury car produced by Bentley Motors in Crewe, England. The Arnage and its Rolls-Royce-branded sibling, the Silver Seraph, were introduced in the Spring of 1998 and were the first entirely new designs for the two marques since 1980.

Another break from the past was to be found under the bonnet, for decades home to the same 6.75 L V8, a powerplant which could trace its roots back to the 1950s. The new Arnage was to be powered by a BMW V8, with Cosworth-engineered twin turbo installation, and the Seraph was to employ a BMW V12.

The Arnage is over 5 m (200 in) long, 1.9 m (75 in) wide, and has a curb weight of more than 2.5 metric tonnes. For a brief period it was the most powerful and fastest four-door saloon on the market.

In September 2008, Bentley announced that production of the model will cease during 2009.

Opel Flextreme Gallery Concept

Opel Flextreme Gallery Concept

The Opel Flextreme is a diesel plug-in hybrid concept car created by General Motors. It can travel 55 kilometres (34 mi) on its lithium-ion battery before a small diesel engine starts charging the battery (it is a series hybrid). The Flextreme uses the same platform and technology as the Chevrolet Volt. In January 2008, a rebadged version of the concept was introduced at the North American International Auto Show as the Saturn Flextreme. In order to expand on different ways of recharging the battery on the GM E-Flex platform, GM created the Cadillac Provoq to recharge itself using a hydrogen fuel cell, in addition to the onboard gasoline, E85, and diesel engines found in the other concepts. The Opel Flextreme is expected to emit 40 grams of CO2 per km or less (according to European test procedure ECE R101 for range extender vehicles).
