Bentley's exceptional Continental has even more to offer for 2012. In addition to the W12-powered four-seat GT
coupe, Bentley has added a new V8 option to each car, sourced from its Audi counterparts. The new power plant gives
potential buyers even more flexibility when making the ultimate decision. The Continental has been gently massaged
by Bentley engineers, rather than reimagined. The front end is more distinct from the rest of the lineup, and
despite a curb weight of 5,500 pounds, the whole car looks leaner, more poised, and a bit more aggressive. Inside,
Bentley refined an already-fantastic cabin, with continued use of just the right amount of real wood, chrome, and
supple leather. Traditional power in the Continental GT has come from a 6.0L twin-turbocharged W12 engine. That
continues for 2012, though power in both cars is up 15 horses to 567 Horse Power, and torque is boosted accordingly
to 516 ft-lb. Bentley claims a sprint from 0 to 60 mph in 4.4 seconds, on the way to a top speed of 198 mph. Power
is put to all four wheels with a 40/60 front-to-rear torque split through a 6-speed ZF automatic transmission, with
steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters. The W12 Continental GT is EPA-rated at 12 mpg in the city, 19 mpg on the
highway. New for this year is a V8 option. The turbocharged 4.0L unit produces 500 Horse Power and 487 ft-lb of
torque. The V8 GT are also all-wheel drive, though they benefit from a new 8-speed automatic transmission. Bentley
figures the car will hit 60 mph in 4.6 seconds, with a top speed of 188 mph, and the EPA estimates fuel consumption
at 15 mpg city and 24 mpg highway. Suspension on both versions is courtesy of air springs with Continuous Damping
Control, and behind each 20-inch alloy wheel are vented iron disc brakes with Bentley branded calipers in gloss
black. Standard amenities on the W12 cars include bi-xenon projector headlights with LED running lights and
taillights, power folding heated side mirrors, and a choice of 17 exterior paint colors.

Bentley officially returns to racing at Gulf 12hr

Sun, 15 Dec 2013

For a company with a tendency to name its cars after parts of the Circuit de la Sarthe like Arnage and Mulsanne, Bentley sure has been gone from endurance sportscar racing for a long time. It famously won the 24 Hours of Le Mans five times in the 1920s, but didn't come back until 68 years later to win again in 2003. That was the last time Bentley competed on the world stage... until now.
Bentley first revealed its rekindled racing ambitions with the Continental GT3 at the 2012 Paris Motor Show. The car would be developed for privateer racers, and that's all led up to this point. Team M-Sport, which you may know better for having run Ford's World Rally Championship team, was charged with developing the car, and it entered the new racecar this past weekend in the Gulf 12 Hours in Abu Dhabi. There, on the Yas Marina Circuit in the United Arab Emirates, the Continental GT3 diced it with GT3 versions of the likes of the Ferrari 458, Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG and McLaren 12C.
So how did it fare on its first time out? Well the race is split into two six-hour sessions, and the Conti finished third in the first heat (behind the AF Corse Ferrari and Black Falcon Benz) and fourth in the second (just edged out by another 458 entered by Kessel Racing). Not a bad outcome for Bentley's first race in a decade. And the Abu Dhabi race was essentially a dress rehearsal for next season when the Continental GT3 will be entered in the full 2014 Blancpain Endurance Series.

2014 Bentley Flying Spur

Tue, 21 May 2013

Redefining Super Luxury On A Shrinking Planet
Anyone on Earth with access to the Internet, a television or radio for the last 20 years knows that China is no longer the poor stronghold for strict Communist ideals that it was for much of the 20th Century. (Well, at least not in some places.) Traveling to China twice in less than a month - first to Shanghai for a very international auto show and now to Beijing to drive and review the 2014 Bentley Flying Spur - I've learned that there's no lack of personal wealth, at least in two of the world's largest cities.
And yet, even I think the scene before me is a little bit ridiculous. Here I am, slowly climbing up a hillside to reach a fortification at something called Zhuanduo Pass, where roughly a dozen pristine examples of Western decadence sit idling their hand-built 12-cylinder engines in the shadow of China's revered and awesome Great Wall. Not five kilometers south of here, I'd passed an old man in traditional all-black garb, literally carrying a bundle of sticks on his back from one side of a village to the other. Now as I look through the snug-fitting and silent side glass of the my $200,000+ palace on wheels, I'm more apt to see fat German tourists crisping in the hot Chinese sun while blowing the equivalent of an average Chinese monthly paycheck on lunch and a few Great Wall souvenirs.

2013 Bentley Continental GTC V8

Tue, 09 Jul 2013

Despite having a rich history of creating comfortable cars for the chauffeured elite, Bentley has also had an edge on performance that its former compadres at Rolls-Royce could not come close to. Because while the Rollers may have been the better cars to be driven in (and some would argue, they still are), the Bentleys were better to drive.
That's still true to this day, where the company, now situated under the umbrella of the Volkswagen Group, still offers all the same luxury and refinement as before, but it also includes even better drivability than before. Nowhere is this more evident than in the Continental range, where a full line of turbocharged 12-cylinder and Speed models are on offer, to say nothing of older Supersports models that were offered and the company's newest venture into the world of racing, the GT3.
But below the Speed cars and the other W12 cruisers, Bentley now offers eight-cylinder power in its Continental range. And despite this more focused approach to offering something a bit more frugal and efficient, it still has quite the focus on driver involvement. We recently spent a week under the summer sun in this droptop V8 GTC to experience just that.
