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 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.
Bentley mulling own spec series for gentlemen racers?
Thu, 06 Dec 2012We began to salivate when we saw the Bentley Continental GT3 up close and personal at the 2012 Paris Motor Show. The thought of a track-going Continental GT conjured up notions of the Bentley Boys, the original gentlemen racers, tearing down the Mulsanne straight. Well, according to AutoGuide, it appears our wistful ponderings will be realized in the form of an international spec racing series.
Similar to the Porsche Carrera Cup or the Ferrari Challenge, this will be a one-make series, and Bentley seeks to run races in Europe, North America and Asia. As for the latter, Bentley Board Member for Marketing Kevin Rose suggested that China will be the likely host of an Asian race. According to Rose, sportscar racing is of interest to Bentley's Chinese customers. He also says that there will be participation by dealers. "Our dealers are by definition car nuts," claims Rose.
While the Continental GT3 is being developed for pro-level use, Bentley is apparently working on a turn-key car for gentlemen racers. According to Rose, "We want to make it as easy as possible." While that doesn't sound like the devil-may-care Bentley Boys of yore, it's likely better to attract participation. The first trials are expected for 2013, and Bentley is even considering making vehicles available for privateer teams.
Bentley designer hints at even faster Continental GT3-R
Sun, 27 Jul 2014Does Bentley have room in its Continental GT lineup for an even more extreme version than the new GT3-R? Luc Donckerwolke seems to think so. Speaking with Autocar, the Bentley design chief suggested that an even more performance-focused Continental GT could be in the works, potentially ditching the heavy all-wheel drive system in an effort to further reduce weight, improve handling and drop even more ticks off the 0-60 time that's already down to a best-yet 3.6 seconds in the GT3-R.
To borrow a page from the same playbook used not only by sister-companies Audi and Porsche but also by Renault and Jaguar (to name just a few), we'll tentatively call it the Continental GT3-RS. Whatever the name, though, power would likely come from an even more potent version of the 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 co-developed with sister-company Audi. Considering that engine already produces 500 horsepower in the Continental GT V8, 521 hp in the V8 S and 572 hp in the GT3-R, we could be looking at as much as 600 horses to make it the most powerful V8 model to date. With that much juice, it would even eclipse some of the W12 models that start at 567 hp in the core Continental GT and range up to the 616 hp in the Speed, which currently ranks not only as the most powerful Conti yet, but also the fastest road car Bentley has ever made.
Donckerwolke says that Bentley has already sold the entire production run for the Continental GT3-R and that customers are already clamoring for something more focused. Younger buyers are likely to be even further drawn to the brand by the ne-plus-ultra Conti, especially if the racing team advanced from its current fifth place in the Blancpain Endurance Series standings.
