New Peugeot/New Lotus/New Bentley...


The pre-Geneva news keeps rolling in! First off Peugeot, who is set to unveil a taste of what we can expect from its replacement for its tired looking 407. It’s badged ‘5 by Peugeot’ but in reality it’s more likely to be called the 508 when it goes on sale next year. In the meantime, the ‘5’ remains a concept, but we expect to see a production ready version at the Paris show later in the year. There’s also a new Lotus Elise on the way too, the owner of this Exige might be interested, once he’s finished picking it out of a tree. Elsewhere, fancy a £200k hairdryer? Well, Bentley has announced plans to turn its fastest ever car, the Continental supersports, into a drop-top. It’s powered by the same 6.0-litre W12 and pumps out 621hp meaning a 0-62mph time of 3.9 secs, and a 202mph top speed. Probably best avoided for people with wigs. Speaking of Bentley, here’s an unusual vid we found of a Bentley seen in the Apollo 14 footage, who said the moon-landing was a hoax?
