Car fit for a queen

As you may know, this year marks sixty years of the queens reign and a maker of the queens cars, Bentley, has been hard at work by making a special edition of their Mulsanne called the Mulsanne Jubilee Edition. There will be sixty made to represent the amount of years the queen has been reigning for. The Mulsanne Jubilee Edition has been inspired by the Bentley State Limousine which the queen recieved in 2002. The special edition will include bespoke gold stitching in the head-rests, veneer rear seat tables with a logo showing the royal carrage accompanied with courtesy cushions displaying the same picture.



We are all enjoying the jubilee but don't forget to think about the homless people out there who at the end of a day of celebrating do not have a warm palace or castle to return to!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Audi A1 QUATTRO

Did you know that there were only 333 Audi A1 QUATTRO'S manafactured. So if you want one you need to order one FAST.

It has got 249BHP, 258lb ft of torque, can do naught to sixty in 5.7 seconds and can reach a top speed of 152MPH.

Which Merc???

As you all know the new Mercedes-Benz B-Class and M-Class are both coming out in March and I would like to know which one you are more excited about.
Here they are:

Toyota hybrid

In 1994, Toyota launced the first hybrid car. Toyota have been commited to making economic, safe, and reliable cars for a very long time. They are still making profits out of their HSD (Hybrid Synergy Drive) cars. The range consists of the Auris hybrid, Yaris concept,  7 seat prius + and of course the Prius. More and more cars are becoming hybrids or electric cars because of the worry that fossil fuels will die out. Nissan and Lexus are making hybrid and electric cars such as the Nissan Leaf, Lexus RX300/350/400/450/500H, and a lot more.

Audi DOG

This must take some commitment to Audi if you go around spraying your dog with the Audi logo. Imagine walking around with this dog.

Mercedes-Benz slogan braintickle

Do you know what the famous Mercedes-Benz slogan is? For a bonus, what is it in German?

The Fisker Karma

Did you know that the Fisker Karma was made by a man called Fisker himself. He was responsible for designing the BMW Z8 roadster and the Aston Martin V8 Vantage. the Karma can reach 125MPH and 444BHP. It does 0-60 in 6.0 seconds. The Karma is very kind to nature. it has solar panels on the roof and fossilised leafs near it's electric-push button door handle. Also it's veneer is made of recycled, burnt trees. It is gorgeous and environmentally friendly. What a mix up.

 

Range Rover Vogue's T.V. screen

Now, looking at the heading you might wonder why I am writing about something so insignificant, but unlike other cars, the Range Rover Vogue's T.V. screen is so different. With most cars the T.V. screen looks the same from wherever you are in the car but with the Vogue the screen is different because if you are using the sat-nav but your child, in the passenger seat, wants to watch a movie, you dont need to spend ages arguing, because from where the driver is sitting they can see the sat-nav but in the passenger seat, you can see the movie. It isn't what you usually find in a car.

BMW badge

There is more to the BMW badge then you might think. Before BMW became a car manufacturer they built planes. When they went into the car industry they designed their badge on a flying planes propellers. The blue bit is the sky and the white area is the propeller frantically spinning.

Mazda MX5 minor weight loss.

When the new Mazda MX5 was due to come out a few years ago, the boffins at Mazda thought about giving the new MX5 a weight loss, so what they did was scrape 84g off the rear-view mirror, so if you buy two packets of crisps you've undone their good work.

BMW- kidney grill

BMW have fitted all of their cars with their signature kidney grills. Even the vintage ones, that is partly how you can tell a BMW from any other car. Even though the shape has altered a bit through-out the ages, their cars still have two grills right next to each other.

Mercedes ML AMG with two plaques

A little while ago when the 1997 ML was still in production a man bought an AMG Mercedes ML. When the AMG boffins get a Mercedes car they turn it into an AMG and the main engineer puts a silver plaque on the engine with his name autographed onto it. So this man bought one of the ML AMG's and when the engineer went off for a tea brake, he fell down the stairs and broke his arm. He needed a lot of time to recover so Mercedes-Benz phoned up the man who bought the ML and explained what happened but the buyer said "I don't care, I just want my car." So Mercedes had to get another engineer to finish off the car and to this day, that ML still has two plaques under its bonnet.

              

Maserati Merak answers

There were 662 Maserati Meraks made and the even sportier version was called the s.s.

Nissan Leaf

The Nissan Leaf is Nissan's first electric car. Nissan say that the wing mirrors on their cars are very large and when you drive along the wind howls on the wing mirrors so because the leaf is an electric car ad should make no noise, they have shaped the Leaf's headlamps so when the wind hits the headlamps the wind is diverted from the wing mirrors and is blown to the side of the car.

HAPPY NEW YEAR, 2012

Happy new year to everyone. It is 2012. There is only 208 days until the olympics. When car crazy people like me hear the word olympics the think BMW. BMW is one of the main sponsors, that is why BMW are having a drive to 2012 event. It is open to anyone who owns a BMW. It dosent matter how old or how new the car is, it just matters if you have a beemer. So why miss out, join in!!!

Aswers for who invented seatbelts

In 1959, the swedish car manafacturer, Volvo introduced seatbelts. Even though they had been invented and installed, they were not compulsory.

Maybach models

The luxury brand Maybach, owned by Mercedes-Benz, have a very clever way of naming their cars. The two current cars you can get are the 57 and 62. Now 57 means 5.7 meters long and 62 means 6.2 meters long. They are very big cars and if one went past you, yo would notice.

Great days out

If it is the summer holidays or usual weekned and you dont know what to do, why dont you go down to Mercedes-Benz world. It is a great place because you can sit in the entire range of the Mercedes cars or you can go to BUILD which is a 3D experience on how to make a Mercedes CLK, or if 3D isnt your thing you can go to the regular cinema where they show the history of Mercedes-Benz. You can also do driving experiences like the driving academy for childeren or the 4X4 course or if you're a speed freak why dont you try out the AMG course. If you dont like the sound of that you can go to Beaulieu, home to the world of Top Gear.
They are both FANTASTIC places and a great day out.

Question

How many Maserati Meraks were made and what was the even sportier model called?

Brainteaser

How long has JAGUAR been going?!?

Maybach is dead

It has been anounced that Mercedes-Benz are cutting the ultimate limo brand, Maybach, in 2013. Each car Maybach have made, weather it is the 62 or the 57, they have lost £275.00.

Information on the VW Beetle

Now, you might be thinking why am I telling you about the Beetle, reason being is that there is more to it then a cute little girls car. It was thought of by Hitler, he thought that the people of Germany needed a sweet little shopping car and thought up the idea that is now the Beetle. You see, Volkswagen means folkscar. Beetles now adays are installed with a flower holder on the dash-board. That is why you see flowers poking up. Now all you porsche fans listen up, if you go through the ages and strip away the 911 chassis it turns out to bee a Beetle. Porsche is now owned by Volkswagen.
