Just don t get caught wearing it at a Bugatti pool hall.
Not to be outdone buy a $300,000 self-leveling, carbon-fiber Bugatti pool table, Bentley today revealed a new fragrance to pair with your Continental GT Speed, Bentaygaor Flying Spur. God forbid you step out of your uber-luxury sedan smelling like a regular person. And for just 69.50 British pounds ($96.41 at current exchange rates), you too can smell like a Bentley owner. We ll let the luxury manufacturer take it from here. Made for those with unbreakable spirit, the latest offering from Bentley Fragrances is a bold and spicy, yet creamy and floral scent for men. Bentley Momentum Unbreakable blends new, high-tech ingredients with age-old perfumery traditions, to create an unbeatable new fragrance. Variations in color, pattern and texture on the stone plated bottle, ensure that no two are ever the same - just like the stone veneers available as a custom option within Bentle
Accessible Smooth Power
Polestar just announced a single motor version with about half the dual-motor s output, but we suspect the Polestar 2 will be best served with that two-motor setup. The company has delivered an incredibly well-refined electric vehicle off the bat, and some of that refinement is in the tuning of the power delivery. When it comes to putting that power down for say, overtaking, there s no big jolt. Instead, you get a super smooth surge that comes in a whoosh as you leave whatever you re overtaking behind. Passengers aren t suddenly sitting bolt upright with white knuckles and are, instead, just left to experience the kind of refined and undramatic excess of power you typically expect from something seriously upmarket like a Rolls-Royce or Bentley.
Here s how it was justified.
The updated 2021 Lexus LS 500 debuted last summer with a number of upgrades inside and out as part of an overall modest refresh. The LS 500h was shown as well with similar updates. Both versions retained the same powertrains as before, meaning a 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6 with 416 horsepower and 442 lb-ft of torque for the LS 500 and a naturally aspirated 3.5-liter V6 linked to a pair of electric motors for the hybrid. Pricing for the 2021 LS 500 now begins at $76,000 but Lexus, somewhat oddly, did not reveal pricing for the hybrid.
While we still lack the official word on the matter from the luxury brand, CarsDirect claims it s viewed a dealer order guide indicating the 2021 Lexus LS 500h costs over $10,000 more than last year.
