Haute Auto : Ferrari & Bentley

“Ferrari.” It’s not just a word to be spoken, it’s a legacy to be sung, with an upswing at the end, preferably with at least a hint of an Italian accent. It’s a whole lot more than a car, it’s a way of life, connoting all things cool. So what’s with the FF? I’m sure that there are many who have made up two F-word combinations but, officially, it means “Ferrari Four”, as in a four-seater with four-wheel-drive.

Haute Auto : Rolls Royce & Ferrari

It’s symptomatic for Rolls-Rolls to look backwards before moving forward when the time for contemplation of new model is imminent. With a storied history -- after all its founder Charles Stewart Rolls was only 25-years old when he co-founded the company and, as a young pilot, became the first man to double cross the English Channel non-stop -- and a reservoir of creativity at its disposal the British automaker of bespoke innovations proudly staged the world debut of its dynamic new Wraith recently at the 83rd Geneva International Motor Show.

Haute Auto : Audi & Bentley

Audi aficionados knew exactly what was expected when the German purveyor of finely tuned luxury cars announced their new line of “S” performance vehicles including the S6, S7 and S8, which is the company’s 4-door bread winner in terms of power output and performance.

Haute Auto : Bentley & Aston Martin

Welcome to the famed Autobahn, an intricate system of motorways connecting various German regions and cities. Only a few vehicles have the power, stability, braking capacity, and the efficiency to accelerate up to 205 mph in a short cycle of time and decrease speed profusely before hitting impending traffic. For the rest it’s an untenable position. The 2013 Continental GT Speed which now becomes Bentley’s fastest production vehicle ever is amongst this elite few. Why, it only has a top speed of 205 mph.

Haute Auto : BMW & Bentley

There must be over 20 current models of BM Ws, what with the 1s, 3s, 5s, 6s and 7s, all the X-variants, the SUV types and the M-model hot rods, not to mention the Alpina B7, the mother of all Big Bimmers. Into this assemblage gracefully slides BM W’s newest body style, the Gran Coupe (note the lack of the “D” and the absence of an accent mark). While others (like Mercedes-Benz and Audi) have had a sleek touring version of their four-door sedans for a while, BM W just joined the svelte party but, to the eye of many, it was worth the wait.

Topless Elegance – Bentley

Bentley and Rolls-Royce were intimately intertwined for over 70 years -- since 1931 co-ownership forced by the Great Depression -- until they parted company in a complicated Volkswagen-BMW deal early in this millennium (VW now owns Bentley and BMW runs Rolls). So what tack did VW take? The first Bentley GTs, which returned Bentley to its roots as the “silent sports car” and built on Bentley’s amazing racing legacy, started out quick and have gotten quicker, with available fittings like carbon-ceramic brakes and 12-cylinder engines.

Audi R8 V-10 Plus Coupe

R8? Undoubtedly a ground-breaking and game-changing car when it was introduced in 2006. Mid-engine V-8, great looking, plenty of power (in the low 400s), terrific handling – what more could you want? “More horses”, said some, to which Audi replied with a powerplant provided by its Italian cousin, Lamborghini, a V-10 with 525 prancers. “Almost […]
