Eleven pounds of sound-deadening material have been eliminated to let occupants further enjoy the intake, engine and exhaust note.

Maybach 62 review

2011-10-01T06:18:00.000-07:00

"The Maybach 62 is the epitome of luxury; it is Excellence Refined." Measuring almost one-and-a-half feet longer than a standard Maybach 57, this vehicle casts an imposing shadow and stirs an air of intrigue. The vehicle has been designed with the passengers in mind, and to that end 100% of its additional length is devoted to the rear cabin.

In sufficient lighting conditions, five rows of six silicon solar cells generate approximately 60 watts to power the vehicle ventilation fans, after the engine has been shut off. Solar module is included with the Electrotransparent glass roof package. The optional External Communicator allows the Maybach driver to communicate to the outside world without lowering the vehicle windows. The system functions via a microphone wired to the front glovebox. An under-the-hood mounted speaker facilitates communication.

Both the front and rear seats in the Maybach are master pieces of comfort technology. All the seats are heated. The shoulder belts automatically adjust to the height of the driver or passenger, which helps to enhance their protective capability. The seats are upholstered in Grand Nappa leather and feature multicontour seatbacks with dynamic lumbar supports. All the seats are electrically adjustable for fore/aft, height, seatback and cushion angle, cushion length and head restraint height.

2011 Bentley Continental Supersports Convertible review

2011-09-07T08:06:00.000-07:00

Bentley Motors is showcasing its fastest, most potent drop-top ever - the new 2011 Continental Supersports Convertible – during the New York Motor Show beginning this week. The newest addition to the Continental model range features a 621-horsepower, twin-turbocharged W12 engine that is capable of running on both gasoline and E85 bioethanol, making it both powerful and environmentally conscious.

The Supersports begins with the age-old concept of “more power, less weight,” and packs an extra 21 hp and 37 lb-ft of torque in its twin-turbocharged W-12 engine over the already-ridiculous GT Speed. Increasing the output to 621 hp and 590 lb-ft meant the transmission needed beefing up, and it also got a reprogram to shorten the shift time by more than 50 percent.

The entire 2011 Continental model range, including the new Supersports Convertible, will be capable of running on both gasoline and E85 bioethanol, or any combination of the two, reaffirming Bentley’s ongoing commitment to make all its cars biofuel compatible by 2012. Pioneered by the Supersports Coupe, this FlexFuel technology offers a reduction of up to 70 percent in CO2 emissions on a ‘well-to-wheel’ basis, a measure of a fuel’s net contribution to the atmosphere, not just tailpipe emissions.
