PRODUCTION BACKGROUND CAR

LUXURY BUGATTI VEYRON

LUXURY LAMBORGHINI AVENTADOR

LUXURY AUDI R8

LUXURY BENTLEY

2013 Bentley Continental GT

The 2012 Bentley Continental GT is redesigned for the first time since the model debuted for 2003

Old luxury car brands tend to evolve at a snail’s pace, maybe because their (often old) buyers aren’t the most accepting of change. Nevertheless, survival of any carmaker depends on its appeal to varying generations, ultimately making change inevitable. Bentley took a gigantic step off the beaten path when it introduced its 12-cylinder “starter” Bentley, the Continental GT, in 2003. The swoopy coupe, which later spawned the GTC convertible and Flying Spur sedan, was hugely successful and is currently in its second generation (although it’s hard to tell by looking at it). Now, with world economies even closer to the brink of turmoil, Bentley is taking the next step in its evolution and introducing the entry-entry-level Bentley, the 2013 Continental GT and GTC V-8 models

LUXURY FERRARI

Ferrari F430 Spider

Luxury car Ferrari has nothing for the common cold, but if you suffer worries, boredom, grouchiness, or that debilitating ennui that settles in on Sunday afternoons around four o'clock, it has a hot new pill, and you won't need to call the doctor in the morning.

One button pushed for 20 seconds drops the top of the new Ferrari F430 Spider into its lascivious splash of aluminum bodywork. Yes, just 20 seconds to a new and brighter you! Need more? Now try the button on the steering wheel, the one that says "Start." Suddenly, you hear that sonorous purrrrrr, fast, fat, and deep, like a Bengal tiger getting its tummy scratched. That's a 483-hp, 4.3-liter V-8 tugging on your leash, so you'd better want to run.

PORSCHE

Porsche 918 Spyder Priced, Matching 911 Turbo S Will Be Optional

In the wake of the luxury car Porsche 918 Spyder plug-in hybrid's surprise launch at the 2010 Geneva auto show, Porsche made little secret of its plans to put the car into production. In fact, Porsche’s erstwhile R and D chief, Wolfgang Dürheimer—who now heads Bentley and Bugatti—personally handed this writer a form to sign up and register his interest in the car. I declined the offer, but others didn't, and official production plans were confirmed last summer thanks to “outstanding customer response.” Now, we have a price: a cool $845,000, not including destination and handling. (We suspect the destination charge will affect few people’s purchasing plans.)

The buyer also stated that the 918 Spyder will be a targa model and "will travel at 150 kms on electric alone." This can be taken one of two ways. The first way is that he means it delivers an electric-only range of about 150 kilometers (93 miles) — a rather stout number. The second meaning is that it has a top speed of 150 km/h (93 mph).

AUDI

Audi R8 V-12 TDI Concept

Luxury car Torque, as we all know, is a twisting force. It's what gives us Indian burns, sort-of-dry dishrags, and long black streaks on industrial-park streets late at night. It's also a hoot and a half, particularly when presented in quantities on level with a Caterpillar D11T bulldozer.

Audi's 5.9-liter V-12 diesel promises 738 pound-feet of torque, or a little more than Superman would have needed had he used a car and a lonely Nevada two-lane to stop the earth's rotation and spin us back in time. Wedge the V-12 into Audi's R8 supercar, and we're going a little weak in the neck.

Audi RS 6

To use the new 450-hp Audi RS 6 as your grocery-getting daily driver is to use a broadsword as a butter knife. Looking very much like your average Audi A6, the RS 6 is glorious overkill.

Audi claims this 4050-pound all-wheel-drive sedan--third in a line of RS hot-rod Audis and the first to be sold in the U.S.--sprints to 60 mph in 4.6 seconds. That's faster than the Mercedes E55 AMG by almost a second and fractionally faster than the manual-transmission BMW M5. The Audi easily reached an indicated 174 mph on the unlimited portion of the A92 autobahn near Munich. And so easily and with such supernatural stability does it maintain that speed that we found ourselves noodling with the navigation system while our co-driver bumped against the speed limiter. The limiter is set at 155 mph for all markets, so our test car had either a lazy limiter or an optimistic speedometer. 

Mercedes

2013 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT Coupe and Roadster

Luxury Car The SLS AMG’s short run has run its course; and with an emphasis on fuel efficiency resulting in engine downsizing, you could be forgiven for thinking that surely this is the end for AMG’s fire-breathing 6.2-liter V-8 as we know it, too. After all, AMG’s twin-turbo 5.5-liter V-8 lies in wait, making monster power from relative sips of fuel. The Times, They Are A Changin’, you could say. Like Ron Burgundy, the skunkworks crew in charge of the SLS AMG GT has never heard that song. So as we say goodbye to the 563-hp SLS AMG, we welcome the 583-hp SLS AMG GT.

Luxury Merc SLS AMG GT3

Why buy an AMG? Two main reasons, according to official research: for the performance and the noise. Watching an SLS GT3 hammering down Ascari's pit-lane straight, bellowing like a wounded buffalo, it's hard to think of a more explosive way of internally combusting a few litres of hi-octane unleaded. Performance and noise? These guys have got the template down, and never mind that they're going to be first to market with a near-silent pure-electric supercar when the electric drive SLS lands in less than six months.

BMW

BMW i8 

Sometimes it is time to leave the city. Escape the restrictions of everyday life. The luxury car BMW i8 is an icon of progress. It combines the energizing performance of a sports car with benchmark efficiency.

The battery placement seems strange, however, when you consider the i8 Coupe has a 2+2 seating arrangement and a 131-hp electric motor mounted at the front of the car. A more centrally located position for the battery pack would seem to offer improved weight distribution and packaging, especially since a 220-bhp turbocharged 1.5-liter 3-cylinder gasoline engine already occupies space behind the cabin. But this plug-in BMW's preliminary performance specs remain impressive. The i8 has an electric-only operating range of approximately 20 miles and can sprint from 0-60 mph in less than 5.0 seconds. Estimated overall fuel economy is expected to be in the region of 70-mpg.

BMW i3 Concept

The luxury car BMW i3 Concept with eDrive is an uncompromisingly sustainable vehicle designed for urban areas. Driven purely by electric power and purpose-built to meet the demands of sustainable and emission-free mobility. It embodies an intelligent form of urban transportation and commuting.

LIMOUSINE

THE LUXURY CARS

Superbus is a new concept for sustainable mobility, which consists of a new vehicle, new type of dedicated infrastructure and new logistics. For this new concept, all of the intelligence and innovation is put into the vehicle, whereas the dedicated infrastructure, where the Superbus runs at 250 km/h, is made of relatively cheap concrete roads.



From Bentley press: Bentley Motors is delighted to confirm that the unique Arnage Limousine concept, created by its Bentley Mulliner coachbuilding division for the 2004 Geneva International Salon is to be put into a limited production run. Such has been the demand following its unveiling, 20 individually numbered, bespoke Arnage Limousines will be commissioned for customers looking to own a truly luxurious car that provides extraordinary levels of comfort and craftsmanship as well as valuable privacy.

From Cadillac Press: As Americans celebrate the inauguration of a new president of the United States next week, a 2009 Cadillac will lead the proceedings. President Barack Obama will ride in an all-new 2009 Cadillac Presidential Limousine. The 2009 Cadillac Presidential Limousine is a completely new design, succeeding the DTS Presidential Limousine that debuted in 2004.

There was no Escalade sold for the 2001 model year; the lineup went directly from model year 2000 to 2002. This was done by introducing the 2002 model in January 2001 while still selling the present production 2000 model year car.

LUXURY CARS BACKGROUND SPECIAL

There are many vehicles today that are marketed as luxury vehicles, but some of them could be described as glorified metal boxes on wheels. Car manufacturers often produce a basic car model and include additions that you have to pay for, but this does not constitute a luxury car. In fact, depending on the brand, nearly all manufacturers today offer some mix of luxury features to enhance their advertising. In the past, luxury cars were defined by their size, comfort, space and presence, but today, the feel of the vehicle is also a significant factor.

The benefits to rent a luxury car are so much more than purchasing such a car.  If you rent a luxury car, you will be able to impress most of your clients with the taste that you show in your cars.  They will never know the difference between you renting the car or owning the car unless you tell them of course.  The moment you arrive at your client in a small uncomfortable car they will have the wrong impression about you.  They will also not take you as seriously as they should.  This all can result in you loosing a very important business deal.  If you loose this deal, you might never be able to own a luxury vehicle.

Design quality
Luxury cars typically meet stringent technical requirements. There is a world of difference between the quality of fit, finish, overall performance and operating efficiency of luxury cars and those of lower priced models. A car's potential to go fast and handle well is a powerful lure characteristic of luxury cars, with some boasting horsepower upwards of 300 and going up to 500 horsepower. Luxury cars also offer advanced safety options and the best entertainment technology. Excellent aerodynamics is also an indication that a lot of resources and research have been pumped into the vehicle's design.

X6M

The all-new Luxury BMW X6 M is the first of two BMW X models (along with the BMW X5 M) to receive the remarkable performance of BMW M. The BMW X6 M is powered by a newly-developed 4.4 liter V8 M engine delivering 555 hp at 6,000 rpm and 500 lb-ft of torque from 1,500 to 5,650 rpm. This new M engine is the world’s first with a pulse-tuned exhaust manifold encompassing both rows of cylinders combined with high-performance, twin-scroll twin turbo technology.

The athletic character and amazing performance abilities of the BMW X6 M result from levels of development never before applied to this type of vehicle. As it did when creating the original M5, BMW M has once again shown that applying new technologies and innovations to a solid BMW production vehicle type will produce startling performance and an exhilarating drive.

The X6 M pushed the capabilities of BMW’s intelligent xDrive all-wheel-drive system and the Dynamic Performance Control system to manage the power and performance potential of the vehicle. The special M suspension includes Adaptive Drive and newly-developed Servotronic power steering.
