The Fiends at WorldCarFans have laid their mitts on some pretty sweet footage of Bentley’s newest edition of the Continental on the Nurburgring. Think Bentley’s are more comfortable cruising the streets of Monaco than tearing up the carousel? Think again. The SuperSports knocks out a knee-wobbling 621 horsepower from a boosted 6.0-liter W12. Even with [...]
According to the news swirling ‘round the Web right now, the Fiends over at Bentley are growing impatient. The company has moved up its entire product schedule by at least a year. That means the brand-spankin’ new Continental GT may just be available as soon as next year. That means we’ll see new editions of [...]
I. The FIA threw out the appeal that the diffusers used by Brawn, Williams and Toyota. After a night’s deliberation in Paris, the governing body confirmed the decision of track marshals in both Australia and Malaysia that diffusers were legal. That means those teams get to hang onto their much-coveted points. [Source: F1]
And not surprisingly, it sits just a few ticks south of $300,000. The Bentley Continental Supersports boasts a knee-noodling 621 horsepower, a 3.7-second naught to 60 dash and a top speed of 204 blistering mph. If you think that’s outrageous, try the $275,000 price tag on for size. That final digit factors in destination, handling [...]
Ever vigilant Fiend Jeff Glucker has dug up another piece of vintage tin worth drooling over. It’s a 1967 Bentley T1with more class than you can shake a monocle at. Drenched in a beautiful maroon on black, this right-hand drive beauty could be yours for the very touchable price of just $10,950. Of course, that [...]
Is your Bentley GT getting a little too droll? Just can’t bring yourself to be bored with what used to be the talk of the town? Premier 4509 has just the solution. The company has just rolled out an update for the GT, including a beast body kit limited to just 300 units. The kit [...]
I. Nissan released pictures of an all-new compact utility van. Called the NV-200, it’s Nissan’s attempt to get its foot in the door in the worldwide market that covers everything from utilitarian people movers to panel vans. The new Nissan has a load capacity of a half-ton, and almost seven feet of load bay. Apparently [...]
OK then. Like we told you (after reading Inside Line), Bentley is bringing some sort of top fuel Continental GT to the Geneva show. Most likely running off ethanol, it will not only be the greenest Bentley ever, but the quickest, too. And most powerful. And fastest. And most likely to get into medical school. Is [...]
Yes, we’ll just go ahead and deem it snow day. Hey, out here in Los Angeles we’re looking at a high over 80 degrees today (mid January) and snow seems exotic. Especially the idea of taking four AWD dream cars and hooning them like mad in the soft stuff. The cars? 997 Turbo, Audi R8, [...]
Bentley? Biofuel in this case means bioethanol. How that differs from regular ethanol I’m not totally sure (sugarbeets vs. corn?), but… Bentley? Look, the truth of the matter is that ethanol and cars don’t really mix. It’s a form of greenwashing, as there’s not much you need to do to an ICE car to make [...]
