On the second impact, I registered the fact that I was causing damage to a potentially expensive part to replace, but by the third and fourth, I really didn’t care. Fragments of vinyl popped and embedded themselves in my hand and I just kept swinging. I was hot, and for about the 500th time the [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Last week I granted one of my own Christmas wishes by picking up an AM/FM radio for the ’71 Lincoln Continental Mark III. Yes, there’s about a laundry list of things that need attention on the car right now, but rolling around listening to your own feeble thoughts makes for long trips across town. For [...]
Bentley has decided to drop the covers on the Speed version of its Continental GTC Convertible at the North American International Auto Show next week. The company says this drop head will be its most powerful convertible ever thanks to a breathed-on version of the same 6.0-liter, twin turbo W12. That means the fabulously wealthy [...]
Sunday in this neck of the woods (da South) was that kind of perfect winter day that helps to remind you all of the cold, rainy nastiness associated with East Coast cold months will eventually come to an end. It was sunny, a balmy 70 degrees and perfect for all things automotive. I’d thought about [...]
Usually, I’d make some crack about Pepto Bismol here, but the pink stuff has cured me of many a night of excess. So, in effort to keep from slandering the good name of the Pep, I’ll refrain. What you’re looking at, if you still have your eyesight, is the Princess of Hollywood’s Bentley Continental GT [...]
Here it is in the flesh: the car with the longest name in the history of man. Wald has finally finished work on its Black Bison version of the uber-lux Bentley Continental GT. The look stays true to the renderings the company let loose back in July, and that’s a good thing. The subtle design [...]
So there I was, having a walk in Mayfair, London last week, which is sort of like a car strip club. While Monaco has more Ferraris-per-square-foot, and Dubai has chromed Audis, I’d argue that London – especially the richer parts – have a very high absolute volume of expensive cars. The Bentley Continental GT (not [...]
