Default Luxury car manufacturer receives recycling certification

British car manufacturer Bentley has taken another step in delivering its class-leading environmental strategy. Bentley now guarantees 85 % recyclability (or 95 % recoverability) of materials for all its current Continental models, becoming one of the first carmakers in the luxury vehicle bracket to take such a step as well as providing environmental friendly recycling or recovery at the end of the car's life.

I've always loved Bentley cars. I think the Continental Supersports, with the alternative engines, is a great idea and a gorgeous car. Bentley receiving this recycling certification means they are really in this environmental thing, and they want changes to be done. It's not easy to reduce the consumption of such engines, and Bentley shows that every luxury car manufacturer has the abilities to make changes. Bentley is THE example!

Come on... what Bentley owner will put Ethanol in his car? ;-)

However the hell you put it, a 600-hp engine will never be green.
