In the 1970, Carrera offered 1:24, 1:32 and 1:60 scales for slot cars, and the slot-free "Servo" systems which allowed cars to switch lanes, guided by the guard rails on the outside. Due to the many systems offered, and fewer customers (Generation), Neuhierl had to sell his company in 1985, and took his own life. The new owners sold rather cheap products.

2012 Bentley Mulsanne Diamond Jubilee Edition

Bentley is honoring the Diamond Jubilee by offering 60 unique Mulsannes. The exclusive models, unveiled on the birthday of Queen Elizabeth II, are limited edition, unique examples of quality craftsmanship and elegant design.
Each of the 60 cars are set to represent a year of HM's reign as Queen, with handcrafted, bespoke embroidery depicting the Royal Carriage and gold-stitchings in the lining.

Highly polished, beautifully designed stainless steel plaques on the tread-plates have been commissioned for the Jubilee edition models and set to feature the famous Bentley script and declare each of the 60 vehicles as a 'Diamond Jubilee Edition'.

True to the Bentley Mulliner tradition, each of the Diamond Jubilee models features a vast spectrum of paint colors that distinguishes them from standard Bentleys. Stylish shades and combinations of the Union Jack colors (red, blue and white) underlines the British connection along with two distinctive Bentley badges on each of the D pillars.

Performance

The twin-turbo V8 6.75 liter engine has a power output of 505 hp at 4200 rpm and an impressive 752 lbs of torque at approximately 1750 rpm. The Mulsanne is capable of going from 0 to 60 mph in 5.3 seconds and 0-99 mph in just 11.5 seconds. The top speed is at 184 mph.

Decorative Features


A vast range of commemorative features have been added to the Mulsanne including a fuel filler cap complete with a jewel, the flying B mascot on the radiator grill, 6 paint options (duo tone Beluga and Claret or Pale Sapphire and Black or simply Black Sapphire, Pale Sapphire, Claret or White Sand).
There is a hand applied fine lining in Union Jack colors, a Diamond Jubilee logo embroidered onto loose cushions and seat inserts, a Diamond Jubilee overlay on fascia and picnic tables and several hide colors including Linen, Burgundy and Navy.

The Bentley Mulsanne Jubilee edition captures the Bentley essence perfectly, combining a distinctive sporty yet elegant style, effortless performance, advanced technology and handcrafted luxury to create the perfect commemorative car.
