2012 Bentley Continental Gt Awd on 2040-cars
Brooklyn, New York, United States
|
This Continental GT has everything you’d expect from a
Bentley but comes in a one of a kind package. The solid Beluga exterior has
been converted from the usually mild looks of the GT into a more aggressive
sports car with the use of a limited edition MansorY wide-body styling package.
The combination of beautiful craftsmanship, and the presence of the exposed
carbon fiber on the MansorY package, give this car a unique high-end look. To
further add to the uniqueness of this car’s exterior, a custom set of one-off
22 inch Forgiato wheels have replaced the factory 20 inch wheels to compliment
the new Manory Body Styling Package.
This is all finished off with an upgrade in brakes with the addition of
a Brembo brake kit. Under the vented carbon fiber hood sits the heart of this
machine. A 6 liter twin turbocharged W12 engine producing 567 horsepower
and 516 foot-pounds of torque. All that power, in combination with the 6 speed
quickshift transmission, is capable or propelling the Bentley upwards of 200mph
with little hesitation. When you step into this Continental GT, the first thing that
stands out is the crimson-like color of the Hotspur leather interior. This
already eye-catching interior is brought up a notch with the addition of
embroidered Bentley insignias on the headrests, drilled alloy foot pedals and
the piano black trim; which are all part of the Mulliner Driving Specification
package this car is equipped with. Other additions to the cabin are the ‘Naim
for Bentley’ premium audio system, contrast stitching, duo-tone trimmed
steering wheel, deep pile carpet mats and front seats with ventilation and
massage function. All this is enough to give even the most demanding of pilots
the perfect driving experience before they even put their foot on the pedal. Upgrades 1.
Mansory Body Styling Package $50K 2.
Brembo Break Package $10K 3.
Forgiato Custom made/painted Wheels $10K The car will be sold with both the factory and aftermarket
wheel and tire packages to provide the option of going factory and winter
driving. The vehicle is also standardly equipped with all wheel
drive. More about the vehicle by clicking here |

Bentley readying four-door coupe for 2018
Tue, 24 Sep 2013Bentley purists have probably been tearing their hair out since we got our first glimpse of the EXP 9 F SUV Concept. "A Bentley SUV? " you could almost hear them saying, incredulous to the idea that an automaker actually wants to make money. Now, word is that the British brand might be jumping on the four-door-coupe bandwagon. The car, which would slot in below the Continental GT, and act as the new base model, would compete with the BMW M6 Gran Coupe and Mercedes-Benz CLS63 AMG, according to Car.
Size-wise, Car thinks it'd be in line with the Continental GT, at just over 15.5 feet long. It'd wear a price tag of 125,000 to 150,000 euro, which converts to $168,650 to $202,380. In reality, the US-spec baby Bentley would need to retail for no more than $130,000 to $170,000 if it wanted to truly capture the M6, Porsche Panamera and CLS63 crowd. Speaking of that Porsche, Car thinks the Bentley will ride on the same platform.
As is pointed out, the question of which platform this new model will ride on is an important one. The two possibilities are the D5 architecture of the next Audi A8 or the MSB platform, which will underpin the next-generation Panamera. Expect a 3.0-liter V6 and a 4.0-liter V8, both of which will receive special outfittings for duty in the Bentley, when it arrives in 2018. What do you think? Is there room in the Bentley family for a car below the Continental GT V8, and if so, is a four-door coupe the right choice? Let us know down in Comments.
2015 Bentley Flying Spur V8
Fri, 13 Jun 2014Despite Bentley's reputation as a holier-than-thou, ultra-luxury brand, at the end of the day, the Big B is still a business. As such, ongoing trends like powertrain downsizing and model range expansion are more prevalent at Bentley than ever. Just look at the Continental range - what started as the GT W12 has expanded into the GTC W12, GT V8, GT V8 S, GTC V8, GTC V8 S, GT Speed and GTC Speed. Talk about "have it your way."
But there's good reason for that. So many of these vehicles, despite their hand-crafted, bespoke nature, are all - gasp! - plug-and-play exercises that allow Bentley to appeal to the broadest range of upper-lux buyers, while keeping development costs relatively low. It's a move that's indeed worked, the company managing to post healthy sales increases year after year. And that's only going to get better, following the launch of the Flying Spur sedan last year, not to mention the upcoming, highly anticipated SUV that's in the works. As Kevin Rose, Bentley's member of the board for sales, marketing and aftersales told me recently, "The best years are yet to come."
To further expand an already growing range, I recently hopped a plane to London to experience the second member of the Flying Spur family - the V8. This less-powerful Spur offers better fuel efficiency and a lower staring price, while not compromising any of the brand's core values of luxury and refinement above all. But to paraphrase what executive editor Chris Paukert said when he drove the Conti GT V8 in 2012, this is indeed The Thinking Man's Flying Spur. Here, less really is more.
Bentley considering smaller coupe
Mon, 21 Jul 2014Only halfway through the year, Bentley reports that it's on track to post record sales. Thanks in no small part to the introduction of its new V8 engine in the Continental family, sales are up nearly a quarter over last year. And they only stand to increase even more with the introduction of new models currently in the pipeline. The upcoming SUV will surely form a large part of that, but it won't be the end of the story for the storied marque.
Car and Driver reports that, after the SUV, Bentley plans to introduce a new coupe line below the Continental to square off against the Aston Martin V8 Vantage. Details are few and far between at this point, but considering how much Bentley manages to do with the relatively heft Continental GT, a lighter and more nimble sports car sounds promising.
In related news, rumors are gathering pace that Bentley is planning to introduce a new Mulsanne Speed at the upcoming Paris Motor Show, its Jurassic-era 6.75-liter V8 massaged from 505 horsepower - already the most that engine has produced in its half-century history - up to around 550.
