This is a family owned car ordered new for my mother by my father for her 80th birthday. It was ordered with everything and the sticker was over 180k. We decided the car was too much for her when my father died. I decided to buy it and had it shipped to my home, here in Palm Springs and I rarely drive it. I spent about 25k on replacing the front end with the 2008 "Speed" front end, and rear panel with tips. I had the ECM remapped and it now has over 700 BHP and over 799 Ft Lbs. I have even put in the $2,000.00 Speed suspension module to make it a virtual "GT SPEED". You must be careful, as all four wheels will spin even with the traction control on. I bought the Mulliner Drilled Pedals and shift knob as well, and upgraded the clock to the newer version. It has always been serviced by Bentley on a yearly basis and I just had a very extensive service done at Desert European 300 miles ago. I have had all fluids replaced and even had the brakes serviced. The car came with the factory chrome 19" wheels, however I decided to update the look of the car by adding the longer front end as on the 2008 Speed version. I also bought a new set of 20" Speed wheels and correct "B" Bentley Pirelli tires. Even though this car was ordered with the lambs wool mats, I ordered a brand new set and do not put my shoes on them. I do not allow anyone to sit in the car but myself, and when at the dealer I am the one that drives it into the service bay. I do not want my leather to look horrible and wrinkled like most of these do. It has a factory Sirus XM radio, factory Bentley Nokia phone, all three keys ( I removed the tabs on the ends to keep them straight, so I knew which key was the master). I never let anyone else drive the car and the only other person that did, was my mother. When I bought the car I got .09% financing, so I didn't think it was smart to give up my money ( to purchase it outright) as long as I could buy the car on the "Banks Dime". The only other mechanical work that has ever been done besides the regular services, was the replacement of the Navigation unit which cost $2,800.00; the replacement of the blend air door motors which was an additional $1,800.00, plus the $2,000.00 suspension module that I had put in. Those are the three services you will see on the full brand new CarFax at the bottom of this listing.Please note that the car was "bumped" on the LH rear bumper, while parked with my mother sitting in the car by a woman visiting Boca Raton. This woman was backing her rental car out of it's parking space and her front bumper rubber rubbed against the edge of the Bentley's bumper. Since, the car was a rental, my mother was "in a panic", so she called for the Police. A report was made simply because it was required by the Rental Car Company, though no damage was done (when I got the car I did notice a little black streak on the edge of the rear bumper, I used 3M Finesse-it compound and the spot was gone). I have since had the entire car color sanded and polished to a "Piano-like" finish. It has no dents, dings or defects in the paint whatsoever. This car has never been on a freeway.... therefore, NONE of the paint, glass, headlamps or "Jewelry" has any pits or chips. My Ebay reputation speaks for itself. I am a Virgo and I am true to my personality. Perfection or nothing. The headliner is not falling down like most all I have seen, and the seatbelts look like they have NEVER been used. The seats are perfect, not wrinkled or crushed as happens to so many of these cars. The interior of this car smells absolutely brand new, just as it did when it left the factory; It has NEVER been smoked in, and NO perfumes or " hands with lotions" have ever touched the inside of this car. The trunk has never been used and it even comes with the optional factory battery tender. All books, keys and pamphlets are present and accounted for. This is a turn key car and I promise that you will never locate one better than this.... there just aren't any finer. Unless told otherwise, you would think this was a 2010 GT SPEED!!! People comment especially on how much they love this color; which was also a special ordered color which cost an additional $6,400.00 (It matched my mothers eyes)In conclusion, I have over $150,000.00 invested in this car, though I do realize, high end cars such as these are not investments.... they are pure "Indulgence". If you want a "TURN-KEY" car that is also a "showpiece". then this is the car for you. I am selling this car at a massive loss, and any reasonable offer will be considered. I must make room for the, new Mercedes CL 65, I just purchased and the Bentley must go. I only have room for so many cars and if one comes in... sadly, one must go. It's that simple. Please feel free to ask me any question after reading all the information in the above text.

VW adding particulate filters to gas engines

Wed, Aug 3 2016

Volkswagen is working hard to overcome the PR disaster that is its diesel emissions scandal, and part of its efforts is focusing, weirdly, on petrol engines. Starting in June 2017, the embattled German automaker will add particulate filters to the gas-powered Volkswagen Tiguan and Audi A5. The change will eventually impact nearly every direct-injected gas engine the VW Group makes. Audi? Particulate filter. Seat? Particulate filter. Even Bentley is going to get the tech, all in a bid to reduce soot emissions by 90 percent. In fact, by 2022 VAG expects 7 million of its vehicles to boast the emissions-cleaning tech, which has long been a fixture on diesel engines. "Following increases in efficiency and lower CO2 output, we are now bringing about a sustained reduction in the emission levels of our modern petrol engines by fitting particulate filters as standard," Volkswagen Group research and design boss Dr. Ulrich Eichhorn said in a statement. "In the future, all models will be equipped with the latest and most efficient SCR catalytic converter technology." VW's initial rollout focuses on the 1.4-liter, turbocharged Tiguan and the 2.0-liter, turbocharged A5. Considering the popularity of the 2.0-liter across the VW range, we'd expect it's only a matter of time before VW expands its particulate filters tech to additional gas-powered vehicles.

New Bentley Continental GT3 race car looks beautiful and brutal

Thu, Nov 9 2017

Bentley has been building and racing GT3-class versions of the Continental GT since about 2013. As such, it's really no surprise that Bentley would create one based on the newest Continental GT, as seen above. Still, we're glad to see it, especially because it looks really mean, and better than the outgoing racer. Part of the design improvements are due simply to the new road car's looks. The lower, wider grille, and tidier, less bulbous tail do a lot to make the race car look much lower and more aggressive than the old car. But the racing-specific bodywork is cleaner and more aggressive, too. Large overfenders are fitted both front and rear, and they each have integrated intake vents at the leading and trailing edges. The openings at the front of the front fenders are curved such that they look a bit like angry eyebrows. The rear diffuser looks better integrated with the body now, rather than simply lurking behind a cut-down rear bumper. The big wing with outboard supports is also impressive. Performance-wise, there likely won't be a major difference between this and the outgoing car. It seems power is down a bit to over 550 horsepower rather than over 600 horsepower. Curb weight is estimated to be under 1,300 kg, which is about 2,866 pounds. That's also similar to the old car. Power also continues to come from a twin-turbocharged V8 sending power to the rear wheels. This is a sharp contrast to the road car's twin-turbocharged W12 sending power to all four wheels. For any enterprising racers looking to trade to a new car or get into a GT3, Bentley will begin selling the new Continental GT3 next June. Pricing has not been announced.

Average Bugatti owner has 84 cars, 3 jets, 1 yacht

Sun, 05 Oct 2014

Between Audi, Porsche, Lamborghini, Bentley and Bugatti, the Volkswagen Group has no lack of prestige marques under its umbrella. And while some of these marques may produce models that compete against each other, each seems to be profitable enough in its own right to justify its existence. But what about Bentley and Bugatti? Surely these marques cater to the same customers, right?
Not according to their shared CEO. "The clientele between Bentley and Bugatti is remarkably different," said Wolfgang Dürheimer in an interview with Bloomberg. "The Bentley customer on average owns 8 cars. The average Bugatti customer has about 84 cars, 3 jets and 1 yacht."
That may be a slight exaggeration (we'd have expected three yachts and one jet), but it puts things into perspective: Bentleys are for the one percent. Bugattis are for the one percent of that one percent. Which only goes to show why it's taken Bugatti over eight years to sell 450 Veyrons - a number of units it would take Bentley about two weeks to move, albeit at about one tenth the price.
