The new Bentley Mulsanne-2011 has some grudge against their former brothers of Rolls-Royce. British automaker has a long history of outstanding artist’s luxury. The price is about $ 285,000.

The design of 2011 Bentley Mulsanne scale is as much as anything else, is no exception. With an overall length and width of just under 220 and 76 inches, this is a great beast of a car about a foot longer than an Audi A8 L 2011. Is so great that his predecessor completely the shadows for about seven inches. Much of this increase can be found in the wheelbase, which stretches 128.6 inches, Ye Olde Arrange eclipsing nearly half-a foot.

But back for a moment, to design the Mulsanne . As Bentley representatives duly noted, the headlights are a rare historical artifact class, hat tip aesthetics of the 1950 S-Type. We see the attempt, but not quite the same grace. Anyway, those lights are located in some very innovative front fenders.

The body is produced in a new factory in Bentley’s headquarters in Crewe, where traditional techniques of metals, developed over six decades, is still widely used in the nine weeks of the build process. Otherwise car is in volume production capacity … but the epitome of Bentley.

The sporty character of the Bentley Mulsanne is reinforced by the front wing vents and exhaust finish large diameter.
Bentley customers have a world of infinite choice in setting the car. There are 114 colors of paint in the area of distribution that include everything from unusual heritage colors, special satin and pearl finishes and combinations of two tones. But the election does not end there. Through the world as of Bentley Milliner, unique colors can exactly match a client’s vision and taste.

A state of the art-14-speaker audio system with digital signal processing (DSP) and 6 CD changer is standard, while the system Maim for Bentley premium audio can be specified as an option. This piece of two British luxury brands provides customers with world’s most powerful 2200 watt amplifier in the car, eight dedicated DSP modes as 20 speakers, offering unprecedented sound quality.

A keyless entry system allows multiple custom pre-programmed settings and automatically adjusts the radio stations, agenda, security (including modes of ventilation and massage, the front and rear), steering column and belt configuration security, and even the blinds in the back seat electric drive to the side and rear windows. As a world first, the system works keyless stainless steel door handles that incorporate the points of contact to initiate communication with the key for verification and entry. The Bentley Mulsanne also has keyless start, with a stop / start button on the center console.

On the other hand Bentley itself acts as a worthy commodity. For a Buford is not only magnificent, but also rare: Only half a dozen of them driving through Europe. With their appearance in Geneva to the Malays but now change that.

Actually wanted to Gerry, Anthony and George Khouri only one reliable old-timers, with which one could finally cruise without a breakdown by city. But when they have it set about 25 years ago for the first time new technology in a baroque dress, it was quickly over with the ease in Australia. For their idea was so many friends that so arise almost overnight an own brand. And then as the Malaysian royal family came into play and has attracted the Australians with a work into the country, the classic car to car fans were completely managers.

Since the mid-nineties, so fit in Kuala Lumpur about a hundred workers to the Buford. “The name should sound like Italian elegance but also an acronym,” said the German general manager Felix Haller, of the Australian brothers is at hand: how brilliant B, U as unique, as fantastic F, O, how original, such as R romantic and I like irresistible, he declined with the name and is thus already a fairly accurate description of the cars, which now stand at the Geneva Salon for the first time on a big stage. In view of the shimmering orgy chrome around the grill, the desire to see out of real gold engraved brand logo on the radiator and the far-sweeping fenders even vintage Rolls-Royce and Bentley rather pale.

For the first appearance on the international stage, the three brothers with the sympathetic tendency to self – “I have Gerry, the Ugly, which is Anthony brought along with the bad eye and the George without hair” – just one world premiere: the new luxury sedan Geneva. Even the prototype on the stand is good 5.30 meters long, and until the production begins in June, the Geneva still grow by half a meter, Haller is in prospect.

Entering the car is quite befitting through huge portals, which are like the Rolls-Royce posted back towards the rear. There can be a stressed businessman fall deep into a soft sofa and enjoy everything that makes life easier Luxury: For in 6000 working hours per vehicle, the mechanic not only abundant built of wood and leather, but also mounted a bar compartment and a humidor. There is also optional integrated water for the espresso machine or a small kitchen in the center tunnel.

ANZEIGE

Although the Geneva looks from every angle like a pseudo-mixture of kitsch and a copy of cars from the twenties. But the developers with promises of modern technology have kept our word. Not for nothing has the luxury liner with a 430 bhp eight cylinder engine produced by Chrysler, placing it in less than six seconds to 100 and allowed 260 km / h. In addition to the driver or chauffeur on a night vision system that can build a head-up display or a trail guide assistance. If you consider all this, the price is relatively low – even if you have taxes, customs and transportation must add: “The factory of the car will cost only $ 300, 000,” says Haller.

Scarcely less exotic than the big glider parked next door is the La Yoya, which cost about $ 150,000. “This is now the fifth stage of evolution,” says Haller and appreciative pats on the car body with carbon fiber reinforced plastic that is stretched over a frame made of polished stainless steel. Front open the hoods to hide only a little storage space and service space. For the engine the coupe lies directly at the rear between the seats and the small trunk. He comes from the ruptured joint venture of Chrysler, Hyundai and Mitsubishi, has six cylinders and 2.7 liters and is at just 170 hp in the data sheet. For fast sprints, this is a little bit. “But we want to travel in this car, not race,” said Haller, the comparatively meager performance. Is also in Malaysia, finally, a speed limit of 110 km / h?

While the Malays in a good year to build 50-60 cars, says Haller. But in Europe they have been more done in a roundabout way. “There are between Moscow and Madrid more than half a dozen cars,” one by the General Manager, and hopes soon to an upturn in business: “For here there are certainly more than enough car fans who otherwise have all exotic sports cars in the garage have. ” That alone is not the reason for the appearance at the Geneva Motor Show. Thus the low-volume producers are aimed as well at the Asian markets in India or China, where intensive negotiations have now with new dealers. “If we were to introduce our new products at home, which hardly anyone would have taken note. Here in Geneva, which is different,” says Haller: For two weeks this is the hub of the automotive world.
