2011 Bentley Mulsanne

The 2011 Bentley Mulsanne shows its luxurious image on a display at the 2009 Frankfurt Auto Show. Obviously exposing a blend of a traditional silhouette with some modern detailing with bold frontal design dominated by traditional Bentley matrix grille and highly prominent round inner headlamps with chrome surrounds. Its engine comes from a totally revised version of Bentley’s 6.75-liter V8 for a whooping 505 horsepower and an immense 752 lb-ft of torque with integrated power-on-demand system for a maximum fuel economy. It is expected that the 2011 Bentley Mulsanne will arrive in the middle of 2011 with a price tag of $300,000.

From Royal Blue to Green: the Queen retrofits her Bentleys to run on bio-fuel

Britain's royal family may not have the power to legislate any new initiatives, green or otherwise, but the heads of state still wield influence over public opinion and have taken up the cause of environmentally-conscious motoring. Following the lead of her son and heir Charles, the Prince of Wales - who had his Aston Martin converted to run on old wine and his Range Rover, Jaguar and Audi to run on discarded cooking oil - Queen Elizabeth II is having her bespoke Bentley limos converted to run on bio-fuels.

The Bentley State Limousine is based on the Arnage, but custom-crafted in-house by the company's Mulliner coachbuilding division. Only two were ever made, at a reported cost of over $14 million a piece, one of which was presented as a gift to Her Majesty upon her Golden Jubilee in 2002, while the second was commissioned by the crown as a back-up. The four-ton armored vehicles, continuously maintained by Bentley, are powered by the company's perennial 6.75-liter V8 producing 400 horsepower, and will be converted to run on bio-fuel. Bentley says the royal family are big supporters of Crewe's initiative to switch to bio-fuels, as Bentley aims to offer all its models with flex-fuel capacity by 2012.

Anyone Else in Awe of the Glorious Bentley?

I ran into this amazing Bentley on Youtube and I have to admit I wish I had an extra 600,000 dollars laying around to buy one and then I’d have to beg my family for the money to pay for the insurance.

Thanks to WebRides for the daily dose of entertainment.
