Reported by Autocar.co.uk, Saturday (04/21/2012) every car made in government that will represent the Queen lead. The first model of this special edition of the Bentley Mulsanne is projected to perform in the event Beijing Auto Show 2012 which will take place next week.
Each model will offer a suite of features inspired by the kingdom that would exceed the standard features Mulsanne. In the process, these models will be done exclusively by Bentley Mulliner division.
Mulliner has built limousines used the Queen in 2012 and has had an association with the royal family since the 1760's. And now the company has been fully owned by Bentley.
Exclusive features that will be pinned on the Bentley Mulsanne as gold embroidery on headrests, veneered picnic tables to the rear dikabin gold plated. In addition, Bentley will provide a choice of three colors namely red, white and blue on each model to strengthen the image of the British car.
Meanwhile, the launch itself will coincide with the opening of the biggest dealers in Asia who are in Beijing. Currently, China Bentley's biggest market, where 1664 units sold during 2011.
The birthday of Queen Elizabeth II, a wonderful opportunity for Bentley to launch luxury sedan edition of the Queen at the Beijing Auto Show 2012, being held this week.
Bentley Mulsanne named Diamond Jubilee, developed by Mulliner division, and made only 60 units as an example. Each year, the car was given a government unit for the Queen of England.
Reason selected Beijing as the launch of this car, because China has the biggest brand in the world market, surpassing the United States. In the land of the Bamboo Curtain, the British luxury car manufacturer sold 1664 units in the first quarter of 2012.
This figure represents an increase of 84.6 percent in the same period in 2011, and the total delivery vehicles from last year until now reached 1839 units Bentley.
"China provides a unique experience for business partners in UK," said Director of Royal and VIP Relations Bentley, Richard Charlesworth reported by Carscoop, Tuesday, April 24, 2012.

When all manufacturers compete to make a car fuel efficient, only using the stick Bentley V8 and V12 engines. "We still offer the V12 and a V12 engine manufacturers in the world," said Christophe Georges, Chief Operating Officer (COO), Bentley Autoguide.com quoted yesterday (12/04/2012).
That argument does not seem unreasonable to current conditions. But Bentley would say, their sales rose 40 message in the United States. Not only that, the United States, which had previously been a traditional market British luxury car, now bypassed by China. This is explained by the sales figures. If in the United States selling Bentley in the first quarter of 2012 was 440 units, in China has reached 578 units.
Bentley models that use large-capacity machines are Mulliner new Mulsanne V8 engine with a capacity of 6.75 liters and producing 512 PS power. The price is more expensive because the U.S. government menggenakan higher taxes. In addition, fuel use is also limited.
Mulsannes priced at 291,000 U.S. dollars, or approximately USD 2.6 billion. After plus tax, consumers must pay 320,000 U.S. dollars (USD 2.9 billion) to 340,000 U.S. dollars (USD 3.1 billion). Another fact, it turns out 80 percent of the Mulsanne sold, 80 per cent should be ordered first.
"The Chinese and the U.S. are both strong. Yet I do not see the dominance of China will continue," said Christophe Georges.
Bentley stick with using V8 and V12 engines when all manufacturers are racing to make fuel efficient cars. "" We are still offering the V12 and a V12 engine manufacturers in the world, "said Christophe Georges, Chief Operating Officer (COO), Bentley Autoguide.com quoted yesterday (12/04/2012).
Bentley says, sales have risen 40 message in the United States. Not only that, the Buyer Bentley is more in China than the United States which had been the traditional market of British luxury car. It has been proved by the record sales that have been exposed, Bentley sales in the United States in the first quarter of 2012 was only 440 units, while in China has reached 578 units.

In the United States Mulsannes priced at 291,000 U.S. dollars, or approximately USD 2.6 billion, that's not to mention plus tax. So in total plus tax, consumers had to pay 320,000 U.S. dollars (USD 2.9 billion) up to 340,000 U.S. dollars (USD 3.1 billion) if you want to bring home this Mulsannes. On the other hand, it turns out 80 percent of the Mulsanne sold, 80 per cent should be ordered first.

Each car will also get a headrest that has a gold embroidered with 'picnic table' on the back is decorated with a layer of gold and Diamond Jubilee Edition emblem as a marker.
However, the launch of this car in China seems to invite confusion of many. Because China is certainly not English. But if you see a potential market, the move is understandable. Therefore, China today is the largest market in the world Bentley.
"This series is a special car, built by hand by Mulliner Division is our way to give appreciation for British institutions, creativity and services have been proven in China," said Richard Charlesworth, Director of Royal and VIP Relations for Bentley Motors at the Auto Guide, Tuesday (24/04).

history of Alpina and BMW
ALPINA is a name famous in Europe and the wider world to use a particular performance accent on BMWs, though not yet so well known in North America. BMW is a name known throughout the world for motor vehicles of performance, quality, luxury and safety.
The two companies, both at home in the German state of Bavaria, have a long history of working together to produce special BMW car. Burkard Bovensiepen, son of the founder of ALPINA Business Machines and an enthusastic racing driver / engineer, began his automotive career path in 1961 by developing a dual-carburetor setup for the just-introduced BMW 1500 sedan. It was a predictive beginning: to take an already fine-performing BMW (which also happens to be a practical sedan) and making it perform even better.
In 1964, BMW had officially recognized ALPINA's contribution to BMW performance. Not long thereafter, Burkard Bovensiepen founded the ALPINA company - ALPINA Burkard Bovensiepen KG - that continues today, creating special versions of BMW automobiles that offer a particular brand of performance for discriminating auto enthusiasts. But outside the circle of BMW enthusiasts, ALPINA has kept a low profile in North America. In addition to racing versions of BMWs, ALPINA has developed a progression of BMW-based cars based on 3, 5, 6, 8, Z4 and Z8 models and offered them on a limited production basis. Alpina is located in the small Bavarian town of Buchloe, some 50 miles southwest of Munich, BMW's headquarters city and the capital of Bavaria.
The B7 is the newest manifestation of the unique BMW-ALPINA synergy - once again based on the BMW 7 Series luxury sedan. Currently, BMW offers ultra-performance models of 3, 5, 6, X5 and X6 Series developed by BMW M.
In the most recent models, ALPINA has concentrated on delivering very high levels of performance with moderate rpm ranges and automatic transmission. Most appropriately, the new BMW ALPINA B7 philosophy applies to the newest 7 Series to produce a luxury sedan of stunning performance. "A 7 Series Beyond," one might say.
power B7 sedan is equipped with BMW's twin-turbocharged 4.4 liter, all-aluminum, High Precision Direct Injection V-8 engine which has been enhanced by ALPINA and is capable of producing 500 (373kW) horsepower and 516 lb-ft (700nm) of torque . performance rear wheel / luxury sedan reaches 0-60 mph in 4.5 seconds. With maximum torque available across a very wide engine range, from 3,000 to 4,750 rpm, the B7 accelerates easily from almost any speed.The two turbochargers operate in parallel, with well-dimensioned turbine blades measuring 44mm in diameter. Thorough exploitation of the potential of the machine is achieved by means of optimizing the indirect intercooler with short intake paths and flow-optimized intercooler tracts. All three intercoolers, the low temperature coolant radiator integrated into the package, as well as two near-engine intercoolers are enlarged by approximately 35%, ensuring very high thermodynamic efficiency. High-performance pistons have been specified to withstand the thermodynamic forces created by compression 9.2.1 and a maximum turbo boost 1.0 bar. The result is a terrific specific output of 115hp (85kW) per liter, with a maximum average compression of 20.1 bar, a benchmark even amongst established sports cars.
This wide power band coupled with the six-speed sport automatic transmission gives the driver a very high level of flexibility and capability in every driving situation. control Alpina SWITCH-TRONIC transmission offers tailored shift characteristics for every driver and situation sporty and Manual modes. To manually select the gears of the automatic transmission, the driver may use buttons found on the back of the ALPINA-tailored steering. This resulted in the changes that occur within a few hundred milliseconds with minimal power interruption.
the latter polished dual tailpipes, the stainless steel ALPINA exhaust system offers up that deep and melodious yet not intrusive V8 sound that enthusiasts have come from Alpina.
Chassis and Suspension
BMW Alpina B7 based on the state of the art adaptive technology suspension of 7 Series, including tuned Dynamic Damping Control and Active Roll Stabilization, to the demanding requirements of high-performance sedan. Long gone are the days when a purely "hard and sporty" ride was a sought-after attribute of suspension set-ups. Striving for truly neutral handling continues to be the goal, yielding the best of what technology is feasible. In pursuit of this goal, shorter and uniquely calibrated springs reduce front and rear ride height by 15mm each and 10mm. Dynamic Damping Control and Active Roll Stabilization enable the driver to select from three distinct suspension set-ups: Comfort, Normal and Sport. It feels intentionally calibrated to provide a different set-ups, influencing the characteristic of the dampers, the Active Roll Stabilization as well as the parameters of power steering assist, throttle response algorithms and load-reversal damping. Sport-Plus mode automatically shifts the Dynamic Stability Control system into Dynamic Traction Control (DTC). This allows noticeably more slip at the driven wheels and delayed intervention by the traction control system.
Together with the 21 "wheel and tire combination, the suspension is at once sensitive to inputs and direct in its feel, yet free from the violence of a purely sports-oriented suspension. The light weight 21 "wheels, with a new interpretation of the ALPINA CLASSIC wheel design, are shod with a specially selected staggered Michelin PS2 tire set-up: 245/35 R21 front and rear 285/30 R21.
The result is that the ALPINA B7 captures an agility associated with much smaller sedans, while preserving the ride quality associated with the BMW 7 Series.Design spring 2011 BMW B7
The B7 sedan finished with ALPINA aerodynamic developments, including front and rear spoilers which not only enhance the appearance but also improve stability and performance at high speeds. True form follows function "fashion, the ALPINA front integrates the fresh air requirements of the transmission and engine oil coolers, which are separated from the main cooling modules to improve efficiency. The spoilers reduce lift at the front by 30% and 15% rear. The exhaust system two double tailpipes are seamlessly integrated into the rear bumper. Latest evolution of traditional ALPINA CLASSIC 20-spoke wheels gives the B7 a different appearance and powerful stance.
The interior of the sedan features ALPINA B7 blue illuminated door sill trims, the SWITCH-TRONIC steering wheel in hand-stitched leather LAVALINA, and the Black-Panel LCD screen instrument cluster branded with Alpina. Exclusive interior luxury wood trim in the form of Myrtle Burl, a burl of the Laurel only found on the Pacific Coast United States, provides a warm atmosphere and traditional. Optional Alpina Piano Lacquer interior trim with silver diagonal rhombs, offers a modern alternative.
Metal ALPINA emblems adorn the seatbacks silently over the standard leather Comfort seats and are inlayed in the wood trim. Additional plaque indentifying the car is mounted on the inside of the roof panel right in front of the sun.
What makes this vehicle unique and interesting addition to the rear (Rear-Extension), which can be changed as needed. And Rear-Extension will be earmarked Elektric compact cars such as the Smart Fortwo EV.
And Rear-Extension design concept is the same as a backpack that has wheels only. And will allow you to travel with a lot of luggage. Or can also be used as a delivery vehicle.
As the demo shown in the photos and video below, which shows the vehicle flexibility and versatility of this Swiss designer. That way you'll be able to use it as a pizza delivery vehicle, or used as DJ booths and others.
In addition, this concept has a package to extend the capacity of the battery will be able to provide extra mobility when you travel a lot. Rear axles on the trailer also acts as a generator, which is also able to perform on the EV charging of the rotary motion of the wheels.
Automotive manufacturer and tuning designer based in Switzerland, Rinspeed Dock + Go introduced a car, a concept fueled electric mobility aimed at extending the limited carrying capacity minicar. Concept cars take the Smart ForTwo platform is quite popular in the world.
Dock + Go is the brainchild of Frank M. Rinderknecht, which it describes as 'backpack on wheels' docking. The idea behind the birth minicar comes from problem loading capacity limitations of small electric vehicles, and this innovation is then offered by Rinspeed.
As the name suggests, the Dock + Go, like a trailer that seemed to have a 'dock' at the back of the car. Docking section where wheels third row (rear) is used to recharge the battery.
"Every urban electric car could serve as a 'Dock + Go' for a particular need. Drives can be used as a pizza delivery fleet complete with an integrated heater and a toolbox package., And suitable for carrying camping gear, golf, skiing and needs a vacation to the beach placed at the back of the car, "said Rinspeed in a press release.
You must have seen a number of concept smartphone casing that adds functionality or battery life, as presented by Photojojo and Leica i9 that turns your iPhone into a digital camera with a lens that can be replaced. A similar concept was brought by Rinspeed, manufacturing companies and the Swiss car modifier, into the automotive industry. By using the Smart Fortwo as the basic concept, Rinspeed presents an additional trailer or caravan can be connected to the back of the Fortwo. Then, what is the function of this trailer?
The concept is named Rinspeed Dock + Go is an additional mileage Smart Fortwo. This can be achieved through the presence of oil-fueled engines are embedded in the trailer. A pair of car tires had been paired to ensure the balance of the car when driving with the extra weight on the rear. Judging from the number of photos circulating in cyberspace, this is just a trailer serves as an addition to the Smart Fortwo and the mileage can not be expected to enhance or strengthen the car look tiny. Rinspeed concept trailer called the "vario-hybrid" will be introduced at the Geneva Auto Show 2012 next March.
Smart, known as compact-sized car line is also publishing a new car concept. Slightly deviate from the usual compact car design, Smart presents its first concept car pickup equipped with a motor 55kW magneto-electric power. The machine is powered by a lithium-ion battery with a capacity of 17.6 kWh is capable of generating a torque of 95lb-ft and a maximum speed of up to 75 miles per hour. Size concept car is certainly larger than the other Smart cars, especially cars like this have the storage space up to 900mm.
Rinspeed has just introduced the Dock + Go mobility concept is a concept that can overcome the problem of electric vehicles. This concept of nature as an additional feature that is directly attached to the back of the car and is equipped with wheels, can be said to offer Rinspeed concept is almost resemble bag "backpack".
In addition to the luggage space is now more widespread, there are actually innovations inside the Dock + Go. Right on the inside of the concept are energy packets with a combustion engine or range extender. This allows electric vehicles can substantially increase the distance traveled without recharging the battery, extra wheels on the hood of this car has a system that is able to work to recharge the batteries. Frank M. Rinderknecht founder of Rinspeed also refers to the concept of the "Vario-Hybrid" and will be introduced at the Geneva Motor Show 2012.
We like the Smart ForTwo because the car is cute and small but on one side can not carry a lot of stuff.Dock + Go System of Rinspeed is a special extra baggage for Smart ForTwo owners so they can carry more goods and create Smart ForTwo like a pick-up.
Additional luggage space is at once also makes Smart ForTwo car has 6 wheels for Dock + Go system is has 2 wheels. <br>Dock + Go system itself can dimofikasi function and not merely as an additional luggage but can also be for a complete audio system and more.
According to various rumors circulating, the Honda still has not spoke out whether S Concept is a new model Odyssey MPV or present a new model. But we can be sure, Honda showed the video is indeed the purpose of participation in the exhibition Paris Motor Show 2012.For now you should not take too many assumptions are not clear. So, just wait the official information likely Honda will also appear before the Paris Motor Show begins. Here's interesting video from Concept Honda for model S.The manufacturer Peugeot has prepared the latest generation 208 sedan hatchback that will be shown at IIMS 2012. Not only have the standard version but also prepare Peugeot GTi models to prepare the model for Type R5 208 rally car.
