Nissan to launch plug-in hybrid & develop fuel cells with Mercedes

Nissan Renault & Mercedes working on 'Green' technology We have been a bit scathing about electric cars, and Nissan’s over-priced LEAF being proclaimed as a viable alternative to the ICE car.

Bentley Continental GTC 80-11 & Continental GTC Speed 80-11 revealed

The Bentley Continental GTC Speed 80-11 We went through the marketing reasons a week or two ago when Bentley revealed their Flying Spurs for the Middle East, the Continental Flying Spur Arabia and Continental Flying Spur Speed Arabia, and before that we had the Bentley Continental Design Series for China.  It’s all about keeping the customer happy and making them feel special.

BAC Mono finally hits the U.S. (video)

Sector 111 – US importers of the epic BAC Mono – have finally revealed the first US Mono at Cars and Coffee in Irvine, California. It’s more than a year since we reported that Sector 111 would be offering the BAC Mono in the US and now, having completely sold their 2012 allocation of just 12 Monos, the first US built (well, bolted together from a CKD kit by Sector 111) has been revealed to petrolheads at the Cars and Coffee meet in Irvine, California. And the Cars & Coffee meeting is a great place for Sector 111 to show off their first Mono as its attended by a bunch of knowledgeable and wealthy Californians, just the sort of potential buyer Sector 111 are looking for.
