Bentley SUV to get W12 engine

The Bentley SUV will get a W12 engine option Back in July we had the talkative Bentley boss Wolfgang Dürheimer musing that Bentley will produce the ultimate luxury SUV, with plans to take the underpinnings from sister company Porsche’s Cayenne and make the most opulent SUV on the planet. The plan for a Bentley SUV has been around for a while, but the perception by car makers that big SUVs were unpalatable to the general public in these eco-obsessed times meant plans by many car makers to build an SUV were left to gather dust on the shelves. But those car makers who chose to ignore the brickbats directed at big SUVs have proved that there is big demand for luxury monsters (the Cayenne has turned in to Porsche’s biggest cash cow) and that the anti-SUV lobby was simply a very small bunch of eco-mentalists making headlines.

BMW 6-series M-Sport Edition available in July

If you're in the market for a BMW 6-series -- including the low-slung Gran Coupe -- but don't have the extra coin to step into an M6 or the M6 Gran Coupe, then BMW has the answer for you with its newly minted M-Sport Edition Package. Available for all model and engine ranges of the 6-series, Gran Coupe and convertible, the M-Sport Edition Package comes with an M aerodynamics group, 19-inch M light-alloy wheels, LED adaptive headlights and fog lamps, high-gloss Shadow Line trim, black brake calipers and dark polished chrome exhaust pipes. Interior features would make you think you're in an M6, as it comes with an M leather steering wheel, door sill covers, footrests, napa leather sport seats and optional white leather seats with orange stitching.

Renault-Nissan and Mercedes get very cosy

The Mercedes Twingo? Almost, but not quite In yet another – highly expected – sign that the future for car makers is more and more co-operation, Renault-Nissan and Daimler (Mercedes-Benz) have today announced a wide-ranging alliance which will see much of the output of each company utilised by the other. Top of the list for starters is the joint development of the platform for the next SmartForTwo which will be shared by the next generation Twingo.
