Bentley is a British car brand, also known as Bentley. It belongs to the Volkswagen Group, which acquired Bentley in 1997, placing it under the umbrella of Volkswagen AG in Germany. The letter 'B' in the center of the Bentley logo stands for the first letter of the name of Bentley's founder, Bentley, serving primarily as a tribute to the designer. Bentley accessories and decorations add more personalized elements to Bentley cars, many of which come from the Crewe design team, ensuring the embodiment of the design style of each Bentley model. Bentley's Development History: Mr. Walter Owen Bentley, commonly referred to as 'W.O.,' was once an apprentice at the Great Northern Railways in the UK. During World War I, he was responsible for designing engines for Camel aircraft and sniper fighters. At the 1919 motor show, he introduced the Bentley 3.0 car named after himself, embarking on a journey of professional sports car and racing car design. Over the next decade, Bentley almost won every famous Le Mans 24-hour endurance race. After World War II, Bentley welcomed new development opportunities. In 1946, Bentley launched the left-hand drive version of the MK6, the first left-hand drive model produced by Bentley, indicating Bentley's focus on foreign markets. In 1933, the first Bentley-designed car, produced by Rolls-Royce, was unveiled, named the 'Bentley 3.5.' In 1946, after the end of World War II, Bentley's car production line moved to Crewe, England. By then, Rolls-Royce and Bentley had been divided into two independent brands. That same year, Bentley introduced the Bentley Mark VI sedan, designed by Ivan Evernden, which achieved great success in the market. In 1952, the Bentley R-Type was introduced, replacing the Mark VI. It featured a 4.6L straight-six gasoline engine with a cast-iron block and aluminum cylinder head, paired with a four-speed manual transmission, reaching a top speed of 163 km/h and accelerating from 0 to 60 mph in 13.1 seconds. Its fuel consumption was 18.2L per 100 km. British car magazine Autocar dubbed it the 'Modern Magic Car.' After 1990, Rolls-Royce decided to strengthen the Bentley brand. In June 1998, BMW lost the bid for Rolls-Royce Motor Cars to Volkswagen. On July 28, BMW purchased the Rolls-Royce trademark and logo. Starting in 2002, Bentley replaced Rolls-Royce as the British royal family's designated car brand and became the official vehicle for Queen Elizabeth II's Golden Jubilee celebrations. In 2003, Bentley's two-door GT car, the Azure, was discontinued. In 2005, Volkswagen launched the Continental Flying Spur, a 5.3-meter-long luxury car with the same powertrain as the Continental GT, sharing its chassis with the Volkswagen Phaeton on the Phaeton's exclusive production line in Wolfsburg, Germany. In 2006, the convertible version of the Continental GT was released, with Volkswagen hoping to boost overall sales through the Continental series. In 2009, Bentley once again introduced a model named 'Brooklands,' a two-door version of the Bentley Arnage, limited to 550 units. However, the final sales did not reach this number, with only 462 units sold.

How long can a flood-damaged car be driven before problems arise?

Generally, it can be driven for three to four years without major issues, but this depends on the vehicle's condition. Below are relevant details: 1. Severity: The seriousness of flood damage depends on the water submersion height and whether the vehicle was started while submerged. 2. Below the seats: If water only reached below the seats, which is below the vehicle's air intake, as well as the fuse box and dashboard, thorough cleaning will result in relatively minor impact on the vehicle. 3. Cleaning: During cleaning, it is necessary to replace transmission fluid, engine oil, and brake fluid, as well as clean and maintain the vehicle's braking system, exhaust pipe, and catalytic converter to further minimize the long-term effects of flood damage on the vehicle's performance.

What is the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers for the Dodge Journey 2.4L?

The Dodge Journey 2.4L is equipped with a 170 horsepower engine, with an official fuel consumption of 9.6L per 100 kilometers. The fuel tank capacity of the Dodge Journey 2.4L is 78L. With a full tank, it can travel a distance of 78/9.6*100=812.5km. The fuel consumption of a car is directly related to five major factors: driving habits, the car itself, road conditions, natural wind, and environmental temperature. Specific factors that can increase fuel consumption are as follows: Driving habits: Aggressive driving, such as sudden acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not easing off the throttle before a red light, can increase fuel consumption. The car itself: Cars with larger displacement generally consume more fuel than those with smaller displacement because larger displacement usually means greater power, requiring more gasoline for combustion. Heavier cars also consume more fuel because greater weight requires more driving torque. Road conditions: Driving on dirt roads, muddy roads, soft surfaces, or mountainous roads increases resistance and fuel consumption. Natural wind: Driving against the wind or on windy days increases the car's resistance and fuel consumption. Low environmental temperature: When the engine block is cold, the injected gasoline does not atomize easily during cold starts, requiring more gasoline for combustion, thus increasing fuel consumption. Additionally, at low temperatures, the engine's computer may control the engine to run at higher RPMs to warm up, which also increases fuel consumption.

Will the Dash Cam Record a Collision After the Car is Turned Off?

No, the dash cam will not record a collision after the car is turned off. The power source of the dash cam is connected to the vehicle's ignition system. When the car is turned off, the ignition system loses power, causing the connected dash cam to also shut down. However, it can be manually activated. Below are some additional details: 1. Considerations for installing a dash cam: The camera should have a wide shooting angle to comprehensively record the surroundings of the vehicle. However, the lens angle should not be too extreme to avoid distorted footage. The dash cam should have good video clarity and night recording capabilities. High definition is determined by the main control chip of the dash cam, so it's important to check which image processing solution the main control chip uses. The dash cam should have sufficient storage space to enable long-duration effective recording. 2. Qualification standards: Choose a dash cam with good concealment to reduce the risk of theft through window smashing. In addition to buses, coaches, and school buses being required to install dash cams, logistics and transportation companies have also started mandating their installation, requiring the products to have 3C certification.

What Causes Low Tire Pressure in Audi?

The reasons for low tire pressure: If no damage is visible, simply inflate the tire to the normal pressure and reset the tire pressure system. If inspection reveals a puncture, promptly drive to a tire shop for repair, then reinflate the tire. If the low-pressure warning reappears after inflation without any puncture, it may indicate air leakage due to wheel rim deformation. It is recommended to inspect and replace the wheel rim. Hazards of low tire pressure: Increased friction with the road surface leads to higher fuel consumption. Causes heavy steering and alignment issues, compromising driving safety. Excessive movement of tire components generates abnormal heat due to over-compression. Degrades the functionality of cords and rubber, leading to delamination, cord breakage, or excessive friction with the wheel rim, resulting in bead damage and abnormal wear. Multiplied friction with the ground sharply raises tire temperature, softening the tire and drastically reducing its strength. High-speed driving may cause a blowout. Increases tire body deformation, leading to sidewall cracks and flexing movements that generate excessive heat, accelerating rubber aging, cord fatigue, and breakage. It also enlarges the tire's contact area, hastening shoulder wear.
