Bentley’s Luxurious Linley Edition


bentley Motors imageLink

Bentley Automobile

Bentley takes luxury to a whole new level by collaborating with British design company Linley to launch 10 limited edition Continental Flying Spurs. David Linley, the Chairman of the company, has established himself as the finest designer of luxurious furniture in the UK and maybe even the world and so, it is fitting that two brands synonymous with sophistication and affluence should come together in this way.

The vehicle was unveiled in completion at the Jack Barclay dealership in London. It features the finest Santos rosewood veneers covering the fascia, console, waistrail and roof console of the interior. Where Bentley chestnut or walnut would normally be used, veneers cover the entire wood surfaces of the model. The waistrails and fold-down picnic tables feature Linley’s trademark Helix motif from the furniture collection inlayed from four different types of wood into an intricate pattern. The custom fitted Linley humidor drops into a unique console that contains a humidification system, cigar cutter and ashtray. Other key features include an in-built fridge set behind the arm rest and rear console with specially designed space for bottle storage and a pop up vanity mirror concealed in the picnic tables.
Mark Blanchard, Head of Design at Linley, stated that “It has been an exciting and challenging project to work on. We designed the interior within the stringent constraints specified by Bentley, however we ensured the car exemplified Linley craftsmanship.”

The Most Expensive Car Ever Insured Pictures


It may be hard to define what amount of a car maybe insured for.

More expensive cars will cost more to replace, and so the insurance will cost you more too.Naturally, there are always limited edition cars that would have to be insured for a lot of money, because there are limited cars that might be when equated with them.Cars that are regularly parked at the roadside are at a higher risk of being stolen or involved in collisions, and so will be more expensive to insure.

This is a kind of car that recorded the most expensive car ever insured:

Rolls Royce Silver Ghost
has been insured for $50,000,000.

Ferrari GTO
$28,500,000

Bugatti Type 41 Royale
$12,000,000.

Mercedes-Benz CLK-GTR
$2,000,000.

Bugatti Veyron
This is easily about the most costly cars in the world, and it is only logical that it is also one of themost expensive cars insured too. Insurance companies would need to consider the rarity and the repair costs of these vehicles.

McLaren F1
$1,000,000

Ferrari Enzo
Limited edition of this vehicle was sold for $1,000,000.

Koenigsseg CCX
$700,000.

Porsche Carrera GT
$440,000.

Pagani Zonda C12
$428,000.

Super Car

Some cars are designed for strict track use and others for touring. There are in fact massive differences between most super cars, research will be paramount. Pay particular attention to the ride quality, some cars have a great set up which is perfect for track use and also deliver great ride quality. There has never been a selection of 200mph cars this vast before, it can be easy to over look companies like Noble, Ultima, Spyker and tuning companies which offer real performance foryour money. Sticking to Ferrari, Lamborghini or Porsche might help you sleep at night but it won't give you exclusivity.Choosing the correct super car for your needs is paramount. Super-cars are supposed to be much faster and fearsome than ordinary cars. Though they still are all that, but compared to the Super-cars of the past made almost fifteen years ago they are slightly slower now.

The modern Super-cars have so much more technology that even if you hit the brake the computerinside the car calculates the speed and traction control and then brake the car making the response time slower than older Super-cars; in which the car did exactly what and when you told it to do. Fifteen years ago Mclaren proved that they had the technology to cross the 240 mph speed mark.

Though Porche have the same technology to achieve that goal, somehow for some strange reason they held back from doing so. In some old Super-cars like the Ferrari F40 there were no door handles, no radio and no carpets and all these things made it a lot lighter. The F40 could go from naught to 60 in 3.2 seconds which almost no modern super-car can accomplish. New modern carson the other hand have a lot of gadgets but they only serve as distractions. When you are in a super-car is drive and drive fast.Older Super-cars are still much faster than the new contemporary ones.Sports cars offer us the combination of speed, luxury, and safety. People often debate the difference between a sports car and a "sporting" car, for our purposes they are all prestige cars.

Maserati Rumored to be Readying a Compact SUV to Rival the Porsche Macan for 2016


Fiat is determined to make Maserati a serious player in the luxury segment. This means expanding its range, which until now, is based on just two models and their variations, considerably in order to attract new customers.
Recently, company CEO Harald Wester said the Modena-based automaker wants to increase its annual sales nearly nine times (!), to 50,000 units, until the end of 2015.
The sixth-generation Quattroporte flagship luxury saloon that has already broken cover and will make its official debut at the 2013 NAIAS next month is just the first step. It will be followed late next year by the smaller Ghibli saloon to compete with models such as the BMW 5-Series and the Mercedes-Benz E-Class.
