And to that end, here’s a video of a Bentley being developed.  Warning: extremely high levels of awesome next three minutes.

That’s right, we’re neck deep in Crewe, England, to watch pre-assembly work going on on the new line of Bentley–specfically, the Bentley Mulsanne.

It’s hard to believe that a car can look this good at this stage of development, but there it is.  It’s clear that high levels of care and concentration, with plenty of quality control, go into the Bentley Mulsanne from the very earliest stages.

If you’ve ever been planning to pick up a Bentley, then from what little bit I’ve seen so far, I can’t help but think that the Bentley Mulsanne is going to be the way you want to go.

It was recently made known that thanks to a $100 million federal grant, GM will be investing $236 million into the development of their own electric motors. Sure, we’ve all heard of the Chevy Volt and other GM produced hyrids but we’ve yet to hear of an all electric car developed by the company.

Unfortunately, we probably won’t be seeing an all electric car from GM anytime soon as our sources tell us that these in-house developed electric motors will make their debut on GM’s “dual mode rear drive hybrid vehicles in 2013″.

Recent reports have surfaced that suggest Mazda is currently on the market for funding to the tune of $1.1 billion to help speed up their hybrid vehicle development.

To secure this funding Mazda will be issuing 96.8 million treasure shares and 315.2 million new shares and then reinvest the collected money back into their company. In addition to hybrid development, Mazda will be looking at other environmentally friendly technologies to help power their cars and get back into the green movement game.

Will it work? Only time will tell.

Honda has really been taking the initiative to move their entire line of vehicles towards a much greener pasture.

This time, it seems that President of Honda, Takanobu Ito, has come forward to say that they have halted their development of V8 engines along with RWD vehicles to instead focus on the obviously greener alternative; hybrids.

Below is what Mr. Ito had to say:

I don’t think we need a classic front-engine, rear-drive car. It would be meaningless to emulate what other companies have been doing for more than five decades… We are considering incorporating new engines, motors, transmissions and chassis into mid- to large-sized hybrid vehicles, and I think this is a good opportunity for change.

Let’s hope other companies do the same without sacrificing power. Because I’m sure many of you out there share my need for speed.
