Auto Express magazine...
Auto Express magazine has these exclusive pictures of the model, which is a product of the growing relationship between the firm"s parent company, PSA, and Toyota. It"s intended to counter the increasing threat from the likes of Kia and Hyundai. According to our sources, the Peugeot will debut at the same time as Toyota and Citroen-badged variants. But while the three machines will share major parts, such as suspension and chassis, each is expected to look very different.
Our spy photographers...
Our spy photographers have captured the best shots yet of Bentleyò€™s replacement for the Arnage, known as the Grand Bentley.
These pictures suggest that the new Bentley will measure about 30 centimetres longer than the already huge Arnage putting it towards the Rolls-Royce Phantom end of the market.
The Grand Bentley is expected to be powered by a tweaked version of the 6.75-litre V8 that powered its predecessor. Power should be around 550hp which will propel the Grand to around 200mph.
Considering its competition (Maybach, Rolls-Royce) prices for the new model are expected to be well over Ò£200,000 for the base model. Unlike its forerunner the Grand Bentley will only be available in one wheelbase.
The official unveil comes at the Pebble Beach concours dò€™elegancee on 16th August 2009 and UK sales are expected to start later this year.
