Specialists from MTM studio are perfectly familiar with Bentley cars: they have rich programs of improvements for the GT Coupe, Flying Spur sedan and GTC convertible. It is time to renew some optimization packages for the above-mentioned British models.

The program was named Birkin Edition. However, after renaming the program the main indices stay unchanged. For example, the W12 6.0 engine with 560 hp and 650 N • m got new management program and two turbocompressors with increased boost pressure, resulting in an outstanding output - 650 horsepower and 795 newton-meters.

But the most strange is that cars with a package Birkin Edition became a little slower: the maximum speed of Coupe GT dropped from 337 km / h to 331. But speeding up to the 0-100km is the same – 4,4sec. For comparison: basic stats of Coupe GT are 318 km / h and 4.8 C accordingly.

There are small differences in the tuning of suspension. For example, due to the management module MTM F-Cantronic ground clearance on the front axle is reduced by 25 mm, and on the rear – by 35 mm. Previous kit has reduced clearance by 25 mm in total.

In standard version, Bentley GT Coupe is a luxurious full coupe, which has four seats, rather than 2+2, which is usual for cars of this class. In addition, the car has great luggage compartment volume of 355 liters, which may be extended due to reclining of the rear seat back. Under the hood of Bentley GT Coupe is a 500-strong motor W12 Volkswagen Concern, which allows the car to accelerate from zero to one hundred kilometers per hour in less than five seconds.

And imagine: the Germans have decided not to increase the price. For those updates plus branded discs atelier requested 20 thousand euros - three thousand fewer than required previously. And why do MTM can do so, but not the others?

In 2003, at the motor show in Geneva, the Peugeot company showed a concept buggy Peugeot Hoggar. Nice two-place car was not only 4×4, but also contained two 2.2 liters engines with output of 180 hp each. Both engines had a separate robotized gearbox and fuel tank. The front wheels were operated by the first turbodiesel, rear – by the another. Coordinated work of a pair was provided by the electronics.

Who would have thought that after six years the clone of the French dunes conqueror would be found. What do you think, where was it found? Of course in China, where the ability to accurately reproduce a model has become an art. Here is a copy under the name of Shanzai Hoggar is far from true, technically perfect Hoggar.

One engine, quite weak - the volume of 800 «cubes» and the capacity of only 51 hp (70 N • m). He comes from the tiny Chery QQ, which, in turn, was copied from hatchback Daewoo Matiz. Gearbox is not robotized, and has the ancient five-gear «mechanics». Prices for this miracle of the Chinese are not known, as well as manufacturers name, which is also hidden. It is possible that the car could be found among the exhibits at the April motor show in Shanghai, which has already become the clone exhibition.
