The Bentley Mulsanne was unveiled a few months ago for the first time at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance. At its introduction, Bentley made clear that the Mulsanne was aiming at a segment higher than the Arnage. They even made sure in the press release to never refer to to the Mulsanne as a "replacement" for the Arnage.  Now, Bentley has released official details on the super-sedan for its home market of the United Kingdom. The Mulsanne is a very impressive new Bentley model, being the first all-new flagship exclusive to Bentley (as in, not shared with Rolls-Royce) in a long time.  It seems as if the market agrees: Stuart McCullough, Member of the Board for Sales & Marketing at Bentley says that "Even at this very early

Many prominent figures in need of protection opt for manufacturer produced armored vehicles like the Mercedes-Benz S-Class (S-Guard) and BMW 7-Series Security. When those cars just aren't good enough, upscale German armor company Mutec is happy to oblige. They're aiming to demonstrate their safety prowess on one of the world's most expensive and exclusive sedans - the Rolls-Royce Phantom. When it comes to explosions and seeing things destroyed, the thinking is - the  more outrageous, the better. Things like this are always interesting, however I don't really enjoy such expensive machinery being destroyed. It's safe (no pun intended) to say then that they are trying to make a statement. Rolls-Royce fans, look away! If a picture is worth a thousand words, a video has got to be a million! httpvh://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KTTCMT1e0BE

Rumors of an electric Rolls-Royce Phantom are swirling again at the Goodwood Festival. We've been hearing that the possibility is under serious consideration by the top brass at Rolls-Royce. Rolls-Royce CEO Tom Purves has talked about the subject, saying: “Many of our customers do small mileages exclusively in the city….for these customers, an electric Rolls-Royce would be ideal…..we stand for unmatched refinement and you can’t get a quieter and less intrusive engine than a well engineered electric motor…..we also stand for strong and instant torque – and an electric motor delivers maximum torque instantly. The ‘waftability’ would be fantastic.” Sounds like a pretty strong endorsement to me. Meanwhile, Auto Express is saying that a Rolls-Royce spokesman confirmed, while speaking to the press, that an electric Phantom is

Apparently there are some people out there with a sense of humor: I've seen Bentleys with Hyundai badges, Hyundais with Bentley badges, and most recently, a Rolls-Royce with GM's Dual-Mode hybrid badges. By the way, we still haven't figured out whether or not that was real or just a joke (I assume it was the latter). I guess we'll know if Rolls-Royce ever releases a Phantom hybrid with the Dual-Mode hybrid system. We've got hilarious rebadges - what's next, a Phantom at Wal-Mart? Well actually, now that you mention it, yes! You know the recession has hit everyone hard when you see something like this...... Yes, that is the Rolls-Royce Phantom - at Wal-Mart. An oxymoron if I've ever heard one! I've seen Bentleys and Rolls-Royce Phantoms before, but they

Trickle, trickle. Rolls-Royce is really dragging this one out, aren't they? We saw the concept, then got a name announced, then heard about more variants and in among all of that, many spy shots of the car sans camouflage have been captured. The strategy must be working though: Rolls-Royce said it has received more than 10,000 "expressions of interest" in the Ghost, with around 1,500 of those "expressing a serious desire to own the vehicle." Your guess is as good as mine whether or not that means orders. 536 horsepower and 575 pound-feet to the wheels! Whoa! Talk about performance, the smaller Ghost is packing even more power than it's larger brother the Phantom. That power works out to a 0-60 time of 4.7 seconds,

When you desire luxury in your ride, the only car that beats any other is the Rolls Royce Phantom.  Though considered a saloon car, the Rolls Royce Phantom is more of a limousine when it comes to comfort and style.  The Phantom does come at a top price of £318,000 for all aspects of bliss.  The phrase "if you have to ask..." about buying or owning a Phantom means it is not the right car for you. The Phantom comes in two models; a 6.8 V12 and a 6.8 V12 EWB.  Both styles are four doors with a top BHP of 453.  The only difference we can find in the two models is price and the EWB.  The Phantom EWB is the more expensive executive model at
