Our favorite quote this week comes from Bentley’s Engineering Director Ulrich Eichhorn about the European Union’s
new pedestrian safety regulation that dictate soft “crush zones”. He said, “No matter how you try to soften it, a car
is hard.” The Bentley Flying Spur sedan was
designed with a plastic grille to break upon impact with a pedestrian if an accident was to occur. He also said, “The
best thing is to avoid the crash.”
