The Bentley Mulsanne is a (performance) luxury car which was produced by Bentley Motors Limited from 1980 until 1992. Introduced in 1980 replacing the Bentley T series, the Mulsanne was the kissin cousin to the Rolls Royce Silver Spirit.

Launched simply as the Mulsanne, taking its name from the famous straight on the Le Mans 24 hour circuit, the Mulasnne was powered by a normally aspirated Bentley 6750cc V8 engine with aluminium alloy cylinder heads. Two SU carburettors. Although the original car was no slouch, in 1982 the normally aspirated Mulsanne was joined by the Mulsanne Turbo which featured a Garrett AiResearch turbocharger which provided a 50%. increase in engine power.

In 1987 both models were replaced in the Bentley line up, the Mulsanne by the normally aspirated Mulsanne S which would continue in production into 1992, with a further 970 cars built. The Mulsanne Turbo by the Bentley Turbo R

Bristol 403 (1953-55) Engine 1971 S6 OHV Production 300

Registration Number RAE 442 (Bristol)

The Bristol 403 is a luxury car which was produced from 1953 to 1955 by British manufacturer Bristol Aeroplane Co. (whose car division later became Bristol Cars). The 403 was the third of the eventual five series of Bristols powered by the BMW-derived pushrod straight-six engine. It replaced the Bristol 401 and 402 in 1953 and continued in production for two years.

It retained much the same styling as the 401, but featured many mechanical improvements compared to that model. The 1971 cc six-cylinder engine was modified through the use of bigger valves and larger main bearings which increased the power output to 100 hp (75 kW) as against 85 hp (63 kW) on the 401. The acceleration was markedly improved: the 403 could reach 60 miles per hour (97 km/h) in 13.4 seconds as against 16.4 seconds for the 401. The 403 had top speed of 104 mph.To cope with this increased power, an anti-roll bar was fitted on the front suspension and improved drum brakes known as "Alfins" (Aluminum finned) were fitted. Early models had them on all wheels, but Bristol thought the car was over-braked and they were thus restricted to the front wheels on later 403s.

The 403 was the last Bristol to feature a BMW-style radiator grille. It is also noteworthy for having two extra headlamps at the side, almost pre-dating the adoption of the four-headlamp layout in larger cars

Arosa Hillclimb

Alfa Romeo MiTo White on track @ Track Day, Varano (Parma, Italy) 18/19 April 2009

Even GT3 RS' can be a rarity at Car Week. Well, at least with a paint as rare as PTS Arena Red Metallic.

The Mercedes-Benz W194 (also 300 SL) is the Mercedes-Benz entry for the 1952 Sportscar racing season, its first after World War II.

Powered by a 3.0 litre SOHC straight-6, it ran off an impressive string of victories that included 24 Hours of Le Mans, Bern-Bremgarten, the Eifelrennen at Nürburgring, and Mexico's Carrera Panamericana.[1]

Only ten W194s were made.[2] It was succeeded by the Mercedes-Benz W196 on the track and the Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR on the road racing circuit. This led to the iconic Mercedes 300 SL W198 Gullwing road car in 1954. The racing W194 300 SL was built around a mere 140-150 pound welded aluminum tube spaceframe chassis to offset the relatively underpowered M194 engine.[2] Designed by Daimler-Benz's chief developing engineer, Rudolf Uhlenhaut, the metal skeleton saved weight while still providing a high level of strength. Since it enveloped the passenger compartment traditional doors were impossible, giving birth to the model's distinctive gull-wing arrangement.

The Capri Mk.I was launched at the 1969 Brussels Motor Show with the intention of replicating the success Ford (USA) had enjoyed with their Mustang. Mechanically based on the contemporary Cortina/Taunus and built at Hailwood (UK), Genk (Belgium) and Cologne (Germany) with the continental built cars using the V4 Taunus engine in 1,3, 1,5 and 1,7ltr versions and the UK built cars S4 Ford Kent 1.3 and 1,6 versions. With the top of the range engines being a Cologne V6 or Essex V4 2 litre engines.

In September 1969 a 3000GT was launched in the UK with a 138bhp V6 Essex followed in 1970 by the 3000E with more luxurious trim
