Peugeot 4007

To coincide with the public world premiere of the 4007 at Geneva, Peugeot is unveiling a highly exclusive exercise in style produced in collaboration with luxury manufacturer Holland&Holland, recognised for its spirit of adventure.
Exterior
The pearlescent Hagénias Bronze body colour paintwork combines harmoniously with the vehicle’s chrome detailing to accentuate the exclusive nature of this 4007 by emphasising its power and feline qualities combined with the presence of its style and ‘all-terrain’ character.
Water-resistant leather features on the door mirror casings and roof bars, while the “Holland&Holland” logo, the hood of a royal falcon, is applied to the rear quarter panels.
Large 20" alloy wheels, machined from a single block in a unique fourfold design, add presence to the vehicle’s exclusivity.
Interior
Only when you are in the vehicle does the creative alliance between the Peugeot Style Centre and Holland&Holland teams become more apparent.
A blend of "Ebony" and "Chartreuse Green" leathers (Holland&Holland colour codes) enhanced by smooth leather edging and original stitching, creates a natural, exclusive and innovative feel.
The leather trim covering the passenger compartment is entirely hand-crafted by leather
craftsmen from the Peugeot Style Centre. It blends harmoniously with the shape of the fascia panel, the special finish of the seats and the design of the door panels.
The Ebony wool felt floor and its embroidered carpets create a soft and warm environment.

Brabus BRABUS WIDESTAR ML 63

Sporty and dynamic, exclusive and powerful: These three attributes best describe the BRABUS WIDESTAR. The special model based on the Mercedes ML 63 celebrates its world
debut at the Geneva Motor Show 2007. With the WIDESTAR BRABUS presents not only a new and exciting wide-track version of the SUV but also the new Monoblock E 23-inch forged wheels and BRABUS B63 S performance tuning for the ML 63 with 550 hp / 404.8 kW.

The WIDESTAR concept, which is of course also available for all current M-Class models, combines dynamic looks with maximum functionality. The elegantly flowing lines of the fender flares front and back increase vehicle width by four centimeters. The extra centimeters benefit the car's appearance while the wider track improves handling: The multi-piece BRABUS Monoblock E wheels in size 11Jx23 were custom-tailored for the wide-track version of the M-Class. Their forged wheel center ensures an optimal symbiosis of light-weight design and maximum strength. The new light-alloy wheels are mounted with high-performance tires in size 315/25 R 23.

The BRABUS control module for the standard AIRMATIC air suspension lowers the ride height of the vehicle by some 30 millimeters, further contributing to more sporty road-handling characteristics.

The BRABUS WIDESTAR body conversion consists of add-on parts for the doors, and rocker panels that create a more homogenous transition between the fender flares. But that's
not all: Complete front and rear fascias replace their production counterparts front and back.
The front spoiler bumper with three striking air inlets and four integrated auxiliary headlights lends the M-Class more passing clout and minimizes lift on the front axle. In combination with the rear spoiler the rear fascia with integrated diffuser and cutouts for the four chrome tailpipes of the BRABUS stainless-steel sport exhaust system provides the perfect aerodynamic balance.

Its well balanced aerodynamic properties make the BRABUS WIDESTAR a perfectly suited to serve as the platform for a tuned version of the ML 63. The latter was developed by the BRABUS motor engineers in form of the B63 S performance kit. The production V8 engine delivers 510 hp / 375 kW. It is fitted with sport air filters and high-performance metal atalysts as well as newly programmed engine electronics with custom mapping for ignition and injection. Together these measures result in an increase in power output by 40 hp / 31 kW to 550 hp / 404.8 kW. Simultaneously peak torque grows from 630 Nm to 650 Nm.

Vehicle performance benefits accordingly: The sprint from rest to 100 km/h is shortened to 4.9 seconds. The engine tuning and installation of the BRABUS V/max unit increase the top speed from 250 km/h to 275 km/h.

2008 Bentley Brooklands Coupe

Not content with its immensely successful Continental GT coupe, Bentley will build a flagship coupe variant of the Azure sedan—and draw on 100 years of British racing heritage by naming the car the Brooklands.

Brooklands the car commemorates Bentley’s racing exploits in the 1920s at Brooklands the racetrack, which celebrates its centennial this year.

“Bentley’s proud sporting pedigree, forged by the exploits of the immortal Bentley Boys on the famous Brooklands racetrack in the 1920s, was the inspiration for our coupe,” says Bentley chairman Franz-Josef Paefgen. “The Brooklands captures all the style, power and splendor of that era.”

Revealed at the Geneva motor show and headed for dealerships a year from now, the 2008 Brooklands will be limited to 550 cars built during the next three to four years.
The luxury four-seater features a higher-output version of the Azure’s hand-built, 6.75-liter, twin-turbocharged V8, producing 530 hp and 774 lb-ft of torque in the Brooklands. Bentley notes the engine is the latest and greatest evolution of the venerable Crewe-built V8 launched in 1959 as a 6.23-liter unit that produced 200 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque. Power is routed to the rear wheels via a six-speed automatic transmission fitted with a semi-automatic manual function.

Bentley designer Dirk van Braeckel drew on the company’s coupe heritage for the Brooklands’ exterior styling, incorporating a long hood and long front and rear overhangs, a steeply raked windshield, a low roofline, pillarless side glass, floating rear window glass, and flowing C-pillars that are hand-welded to the rear fenders. The car rides on standard 20-inch wheels and tires.

Inside, four highly bolstered seats cradle passengers beneath a headliner cut from a single piece of hide, covering the entire expanse from windshield to rear window. The interior is intended to feel expansive and is wider and taller than the old Continental R coupe’s—with 10 percent more space for the rear occupants.

Though pricing isn’t set, Brooklands is meant to be the most expensive car in the Bentley lineup, coming in somewhere above the $329,000 Azure. Start banking your roll.
