59 craftsmen from the Bentley factory in Crewe have worked towards a project to benefit cancer research and created a double Decker bus that us a rolling vehicle for community service and public awareness. It is also being touted as the world’s most luxurious charity bus and it apparently comes with a number of features.

Since the bus is so luxurious, people would always want to drive it around and have a lot of fun in it. It would be a great opportunity for public health officials to spread the messages of health and environmental well being through these attention catching buss, the bus looks red and is characteristic of the London bus.

It would be amazing to see big business, luxury, charity and style coming together to create money for cancer research. It is indeed a noble cause and I am sure many people would support this agenda. It would be cool if such buses are rolled in more frequently not just in London but also all over the world where cancer incidence is higher. Thanks to art and workshopping, a lot can be achieved to raise money.

Christmas is just a month away, and so this is just the right time for brands to launch their festival specials. Take Bentley for instance, that has just released its new selection of child seats that go pretty well with the Flying ‘B’. Well, the colors of the seat are the same as the rest of the car interior, hand-stitching included.

So you get a very bright combination of black and red that not only keeps your child safe and comfy but looks good too. We are quite glad to see this product by Bentley for most of the brand’s, and its peers’, creations are meant for the grown up world only. Not many think of the young turks that we want to pass the car-lover bloodline to.

Again, Bentley has not only created a very smart design solution but also lets luxury take a front seat. Now, parents can get their child’s name embroidered on the seat back beneath the Bentely wings. Equipped with such gear, we think you can be quite sure that your li’l one will take on the car-frenzy quite early in life!

There are a couple of things that we know about the Manchester City team apart from their being real rich, is the fact they can play a very spirited game and love with the same gusto! Stephen Ireland, the 23 years old Irish midfielder is making news for his huge spending lately. Well, the man shelled out a huge $422,220 only to busy a very pimped-up version of a Bentley for his Wag girlfriend Jessica Lawlor. Well, the occasion was a special one – it was Jessica’s birthday! No wonder Ireland wanted to make the occasion memorable.

The car is a coupe and is donned in shades of spunky red and white, which are really the colors of rival Manchester United. Plus there are several embroidered hearts too. We are informed that only to get the winged insignia changed to Jessica’s initials, JL, the footballer had to pay £1,000.

And that was not where the ‘blinging up’ stopped. An amount of £2,000 was shelled out to get the customized red leather seats with a message, “To Jess Love From Stephen” surroounded by a heart. Even the tailored bright red alloy wheels have Jessicas’s initials courtesy the £5,000 her boyfriend spent. The Bentley has a 6-liter, 552 bhp engine with an assured top speed of 198 mph in just 4.8 seconds.

The British luxury automaker has decided to make a fresh start with much talked about Mulsanne. A little birdie tells us that the team of designers and engineers in Crewe took a crisp new sheet of paper and completely redesigned the flagship saloon of the brand. And we also hear that Mulsanne is just another beginning. In fact this new sedan is expected to form the masterstructure for the replacements of the Azure convertible and Brooklands coupe. Just so you know, these two have previously been based on the outgoing Arnage platform that had been designed in the late 90’s when Bentley was owned by Vivkers Aerospace.

The Mulsanne is a whole 11 inches longer than the Flying Spur sedan and works on an impressive V8 engine. We think it is a befitting appellation for the top of the line Bentleys. The world has seen how these have earned a sincere reputation for being high speed  roadsters for almost a century now.

The company hasn’t made any promised on the launch dates of the replaced Azure and Brooklands models. But we are also assuming that the new structuring will also affect the  sister company Bugatti’s upcoming model.

Like they say, there is always a very thing line between the original and their rip-offs. Quite an unending debate that one is. But what happens when spot a total wipe-off? Genius? Just too many questions to start with. Well, you can well imagine the impact this luxe product that we are going to talk about made on us.

Let’s start from the very beginning. Earnest Tarrango is a man known for his deep passion for cars. In fact he is also famous for giving a unique angle to cars, thereby changing their entire looks and even the name. Take the recently finished four-door luxury sedan into consideration. Apparently, the entire identity of this vehicle has been transformed into a two-door drop-top convertible. The finished product is called Chrysler 300CV or the American Bentley.

We are told that Tarrango took many months of toiling and oodles of money to make this little idea come true. The remodeling work was done in Irving. The car now has a custom-molded windshield, chrome-plated and hand-crafted moldings that have matching chrome rims. Tarrango has also won many awards for his dedication like the top prize at a Dallas car show. Currently, he is looking for a buyer.

Off late we had been hearing of Bentley’s plans of coming up with a new Arnage replacement for the next generation. And the world got it’s first teaser some time back. The new car is believed to be priced higher than the current model. Now, this might prove to be a threat to the Phantom.

Bentley’s rep was heard saying that the price of the new Arnage will ensure exclusivity for the buyers. We don’t have any doubts about the ‘unique-ness’ of the car, even the name of which is being kept so hush-hush. The grand debut is slated for August at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance. The project even has a code name, ‘Kimberly’. Indsiders reveal that it even has its own V8 powertrain which sends the drive to the rear wheels via ZF’s new 8-speed automatic.

We are expecting to see some form of forced induction too but we do not know if it will be supercharged or twin turbocharged. Again, a new diesel engine might be on the cards as well though a petrol version has a better chance. The car body will mostly be aluminum.

Bentley Continental is here to make you go bankrupt within a few instants. It costs $267,000 and would run at the speed of 204 MPH. The gas guzzler tax and delivery charges are extra. The car comes with some serious specifications like 6.0 litre W!” and also 621 HP. It also has 590 lb-ft of torque which suggest the car is more powerful than you can imagine.

The car looks as stylish as any Bentley and you could certainly drive down Mulholland Drive in Hollywood. It would be interesting to drive down the road and feel the pinch of tragedies that have taken place there. If you can’t drive till Hollywood, any classy shopping area would be good enough to ride this car.

I would certainly love to have this car but unfortunately I am poor as a church mouse, which only leaves me gawking at all the fineries of the world and writing about them, instead of purchasing something even remotely expensive.

The top speed is a cool 204 mph. The car gets powered by a 6.0 liter W12 engine which is twin-turbocharged and delivers 463kW at 6000 rpm.

Up in the market this fall, the car will cost $215,000.
