Bentley Mulsanne Diamond Jubilee Edition: Exclusive

Bentley Mulsanne Diamond Jubilee Edition Bentley will unveil the Mulsanne Diamond Jubilee Edition tonight at the opening of one of the world’s largest Bentley dealers in Beijing. We already know that China is now the most important market for Bentley, and that Bentley provides the Queen with the Bentley State Limousine – a custom-built Bentley in Claret and Black. Now, with the Queen celebrating her Diamond Jubilee, Bentley has found a way to pull all these threads together with the Bentley Mulsanne Diamond Jubilee Edition, a run of 60 Special Edition Mulsannes to celebrate the Queen’s jubilee – one for each year of the reign of Elizabeth II.

Diesel joins Porsche Panamera lineup

Porsche has put forward some eye-catching fuel-economy figures for the Panamera diesel--although we may never see the car in the United States. Set to go on sale across Europe in August, the four-door is claimed to return a combined city/highway driving fuel economy of 36.2 mpg in standard guise under European testing procedures. When fitted with optional low-rolling-resistance tires, the fuel economy climbs to 37.3 mpg on the European test--a figure that gives the Panamera diesel a theoretical range of 800 miles on its 21-gallon fuel tank.

Ford Cortina: 50 years ago today…

Ford are celebrating 50 years since the first Ford Cortina was launched and changed the car landscape forever. The Ford Cortina went on to sell an impressive 4.3 million during its twenty year life, eventually turning in to the Ford Sierra and then in to the Ford family car of today – the 2013 Ford Mondeo (which, interestingly, can be had with the 1.0 litre EcoBoost engine – smaller even than the 1200cc of that first Cortina). That first Cortina was the start of Ford’s dominance of the UK car market, leading to an unbroken run of 35 years as the best selling car brand with most of the Cortinas, almost 3 million of them, built at Dagenham – in the days Ford actually built cars here.
