2011 Bentley Mulsanne live 2010 Paris Motor Show

The first steps of the Bentley Mulsanne was in Frankfurt in autumn 2009. The flagship of the winged B Paris Mondial currently exposed, while the first copies are about to be delivered.

The replacement of the old Arnage is effective. The latter, whose production was halted in late 2009, has now dropped on a descent route. Repeatedly treated in our columns, the Mulsanne was a reversal of the Bentley style. We will be brief, no point in going on ecstasy neo-retro that has punctuated its release last year. Ecstasy or teeth grinding, depending.

This time, we preferred to dwell on the real qualities of the car, piece of master craft in automobiles. Unable to catch out even the stethoscope from every angle: the lower corner fold, invisible without twisting, has been treated with high precision. Remember that some of its edges are impossible to industrialize and de facto must be handmade. 800 units will be produced annually.

Vin Diesel's 1970 Dodge Charger RT from Fast & Furious Movie Up For Sale

The Volo Auto Museum in Illinois has put up for sale this matte gray 1970 Dodge Charger RT, which it claims was one of the cars driven by Vin Diesel as Dominic Toretto in the 2009 Fast and Furious movie. The muscle car has all the expected custom touches like a sports steering wheel, stripped and customized interior and massive bonnet scoop.

There isn't much information on the dealer's site, other than the fact it's an automatic V8 and that the appraised value is US$200,000. That's rather high, given that Hemmings values a 1970 Dodge Charger RT around the US$28,995 to $74,900 mark. Then again, those vehicles didn't make it to Hollywood.

Fortunately, this one is selling for the low, low price of $129,998, or about $55k over a pristine non-movie car for the privilege of owning a vehicle that may or may not have had its seats caressed by Vin Diesel's tushie.
