Cayenne is Porsche’s SUV and shares elements of its basic design with the Volkswagen Touareg. Cayenne differs in styling and powertrains. Base, S, Turbo, and S Hybrid models are available. Base Cayennes have a new 300-horsepower 3.6-liter V6 engine. S and Turbo versions have 4.8-liter V8 engines with 400 and 500 horsepower, respectively. A 6-speed manual transmission is standard on the Base. Available on that model and standard on all others is an 8-speed automatic. Maximum towing capacity is 7,716 pounds.

The hybrid system allows Cayenne to run on one or both of its power sources to balance acceleration and fuel economy. No plug-in charging is necessary. The S Hybrid also uses an 8-speed automatic transmission. Available safety features include ABS, traction control, an antiskid system with rollover sensors, front-side airbags, and curtain-side airbags. A navigation system is available.

Herb Chambers

Dear  reader: Advertising research tells us that “you” are part of a valued readership demographic, one that’s targeted by upscale automobile dealers.

Thus, we bring you to the pinnacle of upscale: the 2011 Bentley Mulsanne, the marque’s new flagship vehicle. If you have to ask, the MSRP is $285,000.

Bentley had an array of its vehicles, past and present, on display at the Boston Harbor Hotel in late April. However, the centerpiece — the Mulsanne — remained under a cover in the hotel’s waterfront gazebo.

On hand to help introduce the car was Emma Northey, great granddaughter of company founder W.O. Bentley. She had been “stranded” in her Boston home by the volcanic ash cloud that kept her from flying back to England for a wedding.

Northey grew up surrounded by Bentleys and only later realized that the “Matchbox” toy cars she played with as a child were actually custom models of Bentleys past, present, and proposed.

Helping her unveil the Mulsanne were Christophe Georges, president and COO, Bentley Motors, Inc.; Herb Chambers, owner of the Bentley Boston dealership; and Paul Downey, salesman (the title doesn’t come close to describing the man) at Bentley Boston.

Chambers, who sells more than 40,000 cars per year at his 48 (and counting) dealerships, was positively passionate about the Mulsanne. The first one that arrives at his dealership will be the launch/promotional vehicle; the second will be for him. “I’m ordering it in white — bright white,” he says, “That’s the hottest color going right now.”

 For him, Bentley isn’t about sales volume — it’s about passion for the cars. “I’m projecting we’ll sell 60 Bentleys this year … if we can get them,” he says. As for the Mulsanne, Downey got three “golden handshakes” at the event for the car, which will hit the showroom this fall. “I could feel a real current of excitement when the car was unveiled,” Downey says.

Chambers says what we all realize. “All of these luxury cars are fabulous performers. You can compare them to ice cream. Which flavor do you prefer? In the end, people buy with their eyes, not by how the cars perform.”

The unveiled Mulsanne turned out to be in a color called Brodgar, to my eye one of those earth tones in the sage-beige-green family. It’s one of 114 “standard” colors available. Of course, Bentley will be happy to build you one in the color of your choice. You’ll also have a choice of 24 “standard” interior colors and 23 seatbelt colors.

Build time is nine weeks. However, Georges says, “It will be a year before you get it because they can only build so many and the orders are arriving.”

The Mulsanne succeeds the Arnage as flagship. Both names come from Bentley’s racing success at Le Mans. The Mulsanne originally was a 3.7-mile straightaway on which race cars topped 200 miles per hour, then having to brake heavily to take the sharp Mulsanne corner.

This new Mulsanne might be capable of those speeds; however, top speed is “limited” to 184 mph. It’s a rear-wheel-drive sedan, powered by a 6.75-liter V-8 that produces 505 horsepower and 752 lb.-ft. of torque. That flows through an eight-speed automatic transmission.

An air suspension system offers the driver four options: sport, comfort, “Bentley,” or custom. An automatic system adjusts vehicle height to speed and road conditions.

The Mulsanne is filled with the latest technology. There are satellite navigation, Bluetooth, audio-video with 60 GB hard drive, and a not-to-hidden compartment to hook up USB, mini-USB, standard auxiliary, and Apple devices.

An owner’s “personalized” key sets most everything: favorite radio stations, seat, climate control, phone book, steering wheel position, seatbelt tension, and privacy blinds.

Rear seat passengers have fully adjustable reclining seats, each with individual climate controls.

 Mrs. G found it so comfortable in the rear seat that we thought she didn’t want to exit the car. It turned out that she’d locked herself in and needed to be “rescued” by one of Bentley’s guests, who observed, “Maybe she was trying to tell us that she’d really like to own one.”

The bodywork, starting from the optional retractable “Flying B” hood ornament, is a combination of creases and curves that ring with traditional Bentley styling cues. The aluminum metalwork is done via a “superforming” process taken from the aerospace industry. “Some of those creases are where another manufacturer would place a chrome strip because they can’t produce that shape,” says Chambers.

The Mulsanne’s unique feature is a pair of round headlamps surround by a ring of LED lights.  Those flank the trademark matrix grille in a “brightware” finish, the result of a 10-hour production process.

A first view from any angle makes anyone who appreciates fine cars catch their breath.

And, yes, it has cupholders.

NEW YORK—Normally, one of the best jobs in the world has to be Bentley’s US president and COO. That is, unless you are Christophe Georges on a Thursday morning in the Chelsea section of Manhattan and your company’s new car petulantly refuses to come off the car carrier.

Such was the case as Georges, who works out of Bentley’s Boston office, stood before a gathering of automotive media to make the Northeast introduction of the 2011 Bentley Mulsanne, the latest entry to the ultra-high luxury segment that is populated solely by the likes of Rolls Royce and Maybach.

“The challenge for me is I was supposed to show you a new car,” Georges said. “This is only the seventh car made. These things are going to happen.”

Miscues aside, the Mulsanne is a fine compilation of craftsmanship. “This car is totally consistent with our values, Bentley’s DNA,” he said. “This is our interpretation of the best car in the world.”

Bentley US president and COO Christophe Georges, left, talks with Jim MacPherson of The Hartford Courant at the Manhattan launch event.

Coming off of sales of 10,000 worldwide in 2007, Georges said sales dropped to 7,609 in 2008, which has lead to belt tightening and 10 percent reductions in salary. Sales might hit the 5,000 mark by the end of 2009.

Approximately 700 models will be made annually. Pricing will be announced by mid-November, but Georges did say it would cost more than the Arnage, the model it replaces, that boasts a window sticker starting at $270,000. Orders will be taken once pricing is announced with delivery of the first models to the US expected in the third quarter of 2010.

Underneath the hood sits a 6.75-liter (or six and three-quarter liter, in Bentley speak) V-8 rated at 503 horsepower and an eye-popping 752 lb.-ft. of torque that reaches its peak at a low 1,800 rpm. The pushrod engine is mated to an eight-speed automatic drive-by-wire transmission that can be shifted from the steering wheel, a first for Bentley.

Even the ultra-rich want to conserve fuel. The V-8 has variable displacement technology (just like the pedestrian Hemi 5.7-liter V-8 found in Chryslers everywhere) that will shut off four cylinders when not needed. Bentley promises a seamless engagement of the full eight cylinders when needed. In spite of this fuel-efficient technology, the Mulsanne will still come with a gas-guzzler tax.

The Mulsanne’s D-pillars are testament to the building done by hand. More than two dozen man hours are invested in putting them together because it is sheet metal work that, at this point, can only be done by skilled craftsmen. It’s a marvel to inspect this car and see no visible weld spots or seams.

With ultra-high luxury comes the expectation of the latest technology and the Mulsanne does not disappoint. It has a multimedia system with a 40 GB hard drive that runs the satellite navigation, audio/video, personal data, telephone, and Bluetooth connectivity.
The dash has an 8-inch multimedia screen that sits behind an electrically operated veneered door. Below it is a leather-lined MP3-player storage drawer.

Not just any cow makes the cut when it comes to Bentley leather. According to spokesman David Reuter, the cows live in colder climes to reduce the insect bites that could mar their hides. They’re also free-range bovines because it wouldn’t do to have Bessie brush against an electric fence.

Bessie also may not want to stand too close to a finished Mulsanne or she faces hearing loss. The Mulsanne, which could arguably be called the ultimate in refinement, will come with an optional 2,200-watt sound system with 20 speakers. Its nearest competitor among manufacturer installed equipment will be a 1,200-watt sound system from Jaguar. Bentley says its system delivers unparalleled sound quality but it seems as if some ear drums could bleed blue if this system is ever cranked up to its full potential. One wonders how the Mulsanne’s windows will survive the aural onslaught.

It seems almost impossible, but the Mulsanne has almost 40 percent more wood than the Arnage. Attention to detail is seen in the “ring of wood” waistrail in the passenger compartment with an unbroken panel of wood gracing the Mulsanne’s dashboard.

Chambers Continues to Storm Forward With Expansion Plans

SUDBURY – Less than a year ago, Herb Chambers gathered with community and industry leaders as well as employees and friends to officially break ground on a new BMW dealership in Sudbury.

At the time, the economy had started its downward spiral, and many people questioned Chambers’ reasoning. Since then, there have been lots of happenings in the industry with General Motors entering and reemerging from bankruptcy, Chrysler closing thousands of dealerships, and even the government stepping in to help boost sales with the Cash for Clunkers program. But that groundbreaking in Sudbury was Chambers’ fifth of the year, and he hasn’t looked back since.

“We took a long term view when moving forward with our development plans, because our company is here for the long haul and expect to continue to grow our business,” said Herb Chambers. “We want to make sure that we differentiate ourselves from the competition by offering customers the most convenient and comfortable experience in our dealerships.”

On Thursday Sept. 17, Herb Chambers, New England’s largest automotive dealer, is opening the doors to the just completed Herb Chambers BMW of Sudbury. The 70,000 plus square-foot dealership is the third largest dealership of Chambers’ 45 locations, and features the latest in amenities designed to pamper customers.

The six-acre property, conveniently located on 128 Boston Post Road, Rt. 20, offers customers a three lane drive in service reception area with valet attendants, a television lounge featuring plasma TV’s and a fireplace, children’s play area, sales lounges, a coffee bar and café, a seasonal outdoor patio, business center, and plenty of parking.

In June of 2007 Chambers purchased Foreign Motors West. The acquisition included Rolls Royce, Mercedes Benz, BMW, Bentley, and Land Rover brands. At the time of the purchase, Chambers pledged to invest in growing the dealerships and committed to building a larger BMW facility at a new home in Sudbury. The dealership will replace Foreign Motors West BMW located on Route 27 in Natick, which will remain the home of Mercedes Benz of Natick where Chambers has plans for future renovations.

“This is very important for us, and we are very excited about expanding our presence in Sudbury with the addition of this luxury brand,” said Herb Chambers. Chambers also has a Land Rover Sudbury dealership located on Boston Post Road (Route 20).

The new dealership also features a 15-car two story showroom, a 6-car exterior display area featuring a sun-shaded canopy, 40 service bays, 6 reconditioning bays, and an automatic car wash. Because of the vast array of luxury brands, Chambers welcomes trade-ins. Creative financing is available and a huge selection of fine pre-owned vehicles.

The dealership was designed by Regent Associates Inc. of Westborough and constructed by Advantage Construction of Quincy.

In February Chambers opened brand new Porsche and Audi dealerships in Burlington, in March he opened a new truck service and collision center in Braintree, in April he opened a new Infiniti dealership on Route 9 in Westborough, and next month he will complete an expansion of his Mercedes Benz and Smart Center dealerships at Flagship Motorcars of Lynnfield.

“Our continued growth has been a result of the support of our expanding customer base, the dedication of our employees, and the cooperation by town officials in the communities that we operate in,” said Herb Chambers. “We are excited to continue to grow both our company and our customer base moving forward.”

PORSCHE PARTY—Steve Sabatini (left), Regional Manager of Porsche North America and Herb Chambers perform the ceremonial ribbon cutting ceremony at Herb Chambers’ new Porsche dealership in Burlington.

The dealership, Porsche of Burlington, held a sizzling summer party for customers, friends, and industry leaders to officially celebrate the opening of the dealership.

Located next to Chambers’ Audi Burlington at 62 Cambridge Street, the state-of-the-art luxury dealership is Chambers’ second Porsche dealership, the other being Herb Chambers Porsche of Boston.

Big Sister is the oldest and largest mentoring program in Greater Boston exclusively serving girls.

The real winners in the raffle were the girls involved in Big Sister, including Little Sister Sally and her Big Sister Ana Leon and Big Sister Elysabeth Reichman and her Little Sister Madison.

The proceeds help to fund the group’s programs, and one lucky winner also took home the shiny new BMW.

Herb Chambers Companies is the largest automobile dealership group in New England comprised of over 45 dealerships in Massachusetts and Rhode Island. Locations in Brighton include Herb Chambers Porsche, Herb Chambers Toyota, Herb Chambers Infiniti, Herb Chambers Mini, Herb Chambers Honda, Herb Chambers SAAB, Herb Chambers Scion, and Herb Chambers Vespa Boston.
It was a hot and breezy afternoon in downtown Boston, but last minute ticket-buyers, hopeful that theirs would be the one, rushed to purchase a chance to take home the grand prize—a brand new red BMW 328i convertible or $38,000 in cash. A growing crowd gathered as the car czar himself, Herb Chambers, prepared to draw the winning ticket.

And the winner of Big Sister’s 20th Annual BMW Car Raffle is…William Cotter of Wellesley! Cotter, Senior Vice President of Investments at UBS Financial, bought ticket #1117 at the urging of his friend and Big Sister Board Member, John Yozell. He never thought in a million years that his ticket would be chosen!

“I thought they were pulling my leg!” said Cotter of his reaction to the call that he was this year’s grand prize winner.

After careful consideration Cotter decided to take the $38,000 in cash, but has not yet decided how he will use it. He does know that he is happy with his decision to buy a raffle ticket because he feels it is important to give back to the community by supporting youth-serving organizations.

In total, this year’s BMW Raffle raised nearly $90,000, all of which will go toward Big Sister’s mentoring programs for girls. Click here to view the winning ticket numbers for the four additional raffle prizes.

Big Sister would like to extend a BIG thank you to Herb Chambers and Marc Huaman of Foreign Motors West in Natick. We would also like to thank Blue Cross Blue Shield for donation of their printing services. Of course, the biggest thanks goes to all those who purchased tickets this year, allowing us to provide quality mentoring relationships for Greater Boston’s girls. Who knows, maybe next year will be your year!
