BENTLEY MULSANNE FUSION OF EXTREMES EPITOME OF OPULENCE

Bentley Mulsane

Power & Refinement



Performance
A V8 for the 21st Century.
When developing the engine for the Mulsanne, the engineers set themselves three challenges. First, the engine needed to produce effortless
torque from extremely low revs. Secondly, it should maintain the highest levels of refinement at any speed. Thirdly, and of equal importance,
it would need to satisfy strict environmental emissions standards for years to come. Challenge accepted.
While other powertrain configurations were considered by the Mulsanne engineers, it became clear that these targets, along with the massive
torque that is such a trademark of every grand Bentley, could be best achieved with a V8 engine.
Every major component from the forged crankshaft to the pistons to the connecting rods are now designed to be light and strong to reduce
internal loads and friction for even better engine response. To achieve a significant reduction in fuel consumption and CO2 emissions plus
improved refinement and torque, the Mulsanne’s V8 sees the introduction of two revolutionary control systems: Cam Phasing and, a first for
the flagship motoring sector, Variable Displacement.
The pioneering use of these two technologies in combination allows the engine management system to adjust the V8’s breathing, thereby
improving idle quality and increasing torque from low revs. The overall result is an improvement in fuel economy and CO2 emissions of up to 15 percent.
Not to mention that massive 1020Nm of torque. Challenge, well and truly met.

V-twin delivering a claimed 125 horsepower and a fat, 240-width rear tire to put that power to pavement, this
V-Rod hits like a hammer out of the hole. For Harley haters who insist The Motor Company knows performance like
the Golden Arches know haute cuisine, the Night Rod Special is a Supersized helping of shut the hell up.

BUGATTI 16C GALIBIER price : $1.4 million






The Bugatti Veyron 16.4 and Veyron Super Sport have shared the supercar limelight for some time now. Well,
Bugatti is staging an upset within in its own automotive ranks by releasing production news of the supremely
opulent Bugatti 16C Galibier. A 1000 horsepower W16 (yes, mating V8s) and enough torque to move it to 60 in about
3 sconds, the Galibier will run on gasoline or biofuel (because Bugatti is SO eco-conscious). Jumping on that
environmental thing, Bugatti has covered its interior with enough burled wood and leather to send a gaggle of
hippies running. Luxurious without being ostentatious, this flagship among flagships should prove to be one of
the poshest four-doors to ever roam the earth. The rumor mill started churning on this four-wheeled Taj Mahal
in 2009, but production news was recently made official. It’ll set you back a cool $1.4 million. More gorgeous
images after the jump.

The new BMW M6 Coupé and the new BMW M6 Convertible


Two new high-performance sports cars. The BMW M6 Coupé and BMW M6 Convertible.



The new BMW M6 Coupé.
The new BMW M6 Coupe and BMW M6 Convertible offer top-class performance attributes and an ambience defined by luxury and innovative comfort features.
In so doing, the high-performance sports cars developed by BMW M GmbH exude a level of poise and assurance unmatched in the premium segment of the
executive class – and reflected authentically in the expressive design of the two models.





Both get the same twin-turbo, 4.4-liter V-8 used in the new BMW M5 sedan. In M6 duty, the engine is rated at 560 horsepower and 500 pound-feet of torque,
which BMW says is good for a 4.2 second run from 0 – 62 mph in a coupe equipped with BMW’s seven-speed automatic. Since the convertible will be a bit
heavier and slightly less aerodynamic, BMW says you can expect a 0 – 62 mph run in 4.3 seconds, also with the seven-speed automatic gearbox. A six-speed
manual transmission is said to be under consideration, although BMW won’t officially comment on it .



Wide air intakes, stunningly contoured headlight units and large, smooth surfaces shape the front end of the new BMW M6 Coupe and BMW M6 Convertible.
Another eye-catching element of the car’s nose is its newly designed M kidney grille, which bears an “M6” badge. The grille’s black, paired kidney grille
slats take their cues from the characteristic double-spoke design of the M light-alloy wheels.

TATA PIXEL

Pocket-sized dynamo: Tata Pixel


                The Tata Pixel, with 'Zero Turn' drive and an innovative diamond-shaped door system, is a new city car concept for
Europe from Tata Motors. Based on the Tata Nano, the Pixel - at just over three metres in length - is the most package
efficient four-seater in the world, comfortably accommodating four adults,unlike a typical city car which is either a
two-seater or can accommodate two adults and two children only.  



The Tata Pixel's ability to manoeuvre and park in the tightest of spaces is made possible by its Zero Turn toroidal
traction-drive Infinitely Variable Transmission (IVT). This highly efficient, cost-effective system assists rotation
of the outer rear wheel forwards and the inner rear wheel backwards during low-speed manoeuvres, while the front wheels
turn at acute angles. The result is a turning circle radius of just 2.6 metres. The glass area on the scissor doors
provides excellent visibility even in the most extreme turning manoeuvre.

The Bentley Luxury Concept

The Bentley Luxury Concept is a design study of a prestigious, six meters-long car inspired by wooden boats
and by the brand’s heritage. The author is 3D artist Andreas Fougner.


                                          



The Bentley Luxury Concept is an extreme proposal of a luxurious car, with a design characterized by the massive
length of 6+ meters.

The exterior uses several elements inspired from the luxury cars of the pre-WWII period, such as the detached fenders
and the dominating front grille matched by circular headlights.

Speaking about the project, Swedish designer Andreas Fougner explains, “The inspiration for this concept comes from
wooden boats, old classic cars with wood panels and the luxurious look of the brand Bentley.


Taking inspiration by yacht design, the upper surface of the fenders, side sills and trunk lid form a distinctive
stripe trimmed in birch wood, a material which is commonly used in Swedish furniture design

  News concept car that the BMW i8 concept, The BMW i8 Hybrid Sportscar will release on 2013 in Europe and price £150,000
. The electric motor is placed in front and acts on the front wheels through twin-speed transmission, whereas the gas
engine drives the rear wheels through a dual-clutch gearbox. The 1.5 liter 3 cylinder gasoline engine sends 220 horsepo
wer and 221lb-ft of torque to the rear wheels, whereas the liquid-cooled lithium-ion battery sends 129 horsepower and 1
84lb-ft of torque to the front wheels.

this offers an overall output of 349hp and 405 lb-ft. the motive force will travel up to twenty miles in all-electric
mode, and when pushed for performance the 2 engines work along to supply high performance. The i8 will accelerate from
 0-62 mph in beneath five seconds with prime speed of a hundred and fifty five mph. It may be recharged in only one
zero five minutes on a typical 220 volt mains socket. BMW boasts of highly economical i8 that consumes but 3 liters
per one hundred kilometers, that is beyond the potential of any vehicle powered by a combustion engine of comparable

Lamborghini Aventador Polizia Concept Design By Milanno Artworks and Carrera

Lamborghini Aventador Polizia Concept Design By Milanno Artworks and Carrera







                   

This new concept car from Lamborgini company, named Lamborghini Aventador Polizia. The exerior view with blue and
white color on body. This Lamborghini Aventador Polizia project design by Milanno Artworks and Carrera. Milanno
Artworks and CarreraDesign have created variety of renderings of what the Aventador Polizia ought to appear as if
if it were to safeguard the Italian roads. the photographs reveal a blue and white paint theme and lettering, the
same as that of the Gallardo Polizia

  

                                                        


It ought to even be fitted with a defibrillator and a refrigerated container for fast organ transport. additionally,
all the LED lights on the automobile are located among the air intakes and on the dashboard. As you would possibly
 have guessed, an enormous light-pod on the roof would ruin the Aventador’s aerodynamic lines. However, the police
 beacon on the roof of the Gallardo currently in use has been aerodynamically optimized. Despite the extraordinarily
flat construction of the signal lighting, blue LEDs are fitted around the base to make sure the visual signal can not
 be missed. The roof-mounted lighting is supported by additional blue LED signals on the front, sides and rear of the
light’s aluminum shell. a complete of 4 sirens integrated into the front and rear of the Gallardo generate the audible
 warning signals.


                            

The Aventador uses a six.5l V12 engine capable of developing 700 horsepower and 690 Nm of torque, not to mention a
Graziano ISR 7-speed automatic transmission. The naught to sixty acceleration rated at a pair of.9 seconds, whereas
the highest speed stands at 217 mph (350 km/h). For the sake of comparison, we’ll tell you that the Gallardo LP560-4
Polizia contains a 560 horsepower engine that may reach speeds of up to 203 mph (327 km/h).
