The Extreme runs on a green fuel called E85, which is 85% bioethanol. However the car does still prioritise luxury - it does just 11.5 miles to the gallon when motoring around the city Photograph: Bentley

Despite using a green fuel the car also emits 388 grams of carbon dioxide per kilometre, around four times as much as Fiesta's green car, the Econetic. Photograph: Bentley

The car is two-seater only, and Bentley says it harks back to the glory days of the 1920s. Photograph: Bentley
