Speed Facelift Bespoke Car With Mulliner Shifter And Pedals W/ Ecm Remap 700 Bhp on 2040-cars
Palm Springs, California, United States
|
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. Thank you, John

You can ice the Bentley Bentayga for $13 grand
Thu, Oct 29 2015Want to drive the new Bentley Bentayga? You'll be able to place your order soon enough, assuming you've got the scratch. And then you'll be able to drive it pretty much anywhere. But if you want to drive it on ice, and don't want to wait for delivery, then check out Bentley's Power on Ice program. The British automaker has been hosting ice-driving events for years now. But this winter, it's adding the new Bentayga to the mix. Participants will be invited to drive it on 10 ice tracks created atop frozen lakes in Finland. The tracks were designed by four-time World Rally Champion and ice-speed record-setter Juha Kankkunen, who also serves as lead instructor for the program. Of course, while the Bentayga may have the most advanced traction system on board, it's not the only all-wheel-drive Bentley lined up for the program. As you can see from the video above - in which the Bentayga appears only in parts starting around the halfway mark - there'll be Continentals, Flying Spurs, and even the GT3-R on hand as well. The event is based at the Chalet Ruka Peak in northern Finland. It also includes fine Scandinavian cuisine, saunas, and a nighttime dog-sled expedition to an old reindeer farm. Of course none of that comes cheap, with prices depending on the level of accommodation specified. But the experience starts off at ˆ11,900 per person – or about $13k at current exchange rates. BENTAYGA MAKES POWER ON ICE DEBUT Oct 29, 2015 - Bentley's extraordinary ice-driving event returns for 2016 - Bentayga to demonstrate prowess on frozen lakes of Finland - Former World Rally Champion, Juha Kankkunen, leads tuition team (Crewe, 29 October 2015) The most powerful, most luxurious, most exclusive and fastest SUV in the world, the Bentley Bentayga, makes its ice-driving debut in 2016 at Bentley's flagship customer event, Power on Ice. Power on Ice is an unforgettable four-day experience that provides the opportunity to push a full range of Bentley cars to their limits. Running throughout February next year, guests will be among the first to explore the Bentayga's extraordinary capabilities in one of the most beautiful and challenging environments in the world. Two days of exhilarating ice driving training are provided by the vastly experienced Bentley Ice Driving Team. Leading the tuition will be four-time World Rally Champion and two-time ice-speed record holder, Juha Kankkunen – who personally designs each of the ten ice tracks.
Bentley Bentayga to add gasoline V8 before plug-in hybrid powertrains bows
Sun, Dec 31 2017The Bentley Bentayga offers exactly one powertrain in the US: a 6.0 liter W12 with 600 horsepower and 664 pound-feet of torque. Overseas buyers get the additional option of a 4.0 liter diesel V8 with 429 hp and 664 lb-ft - the same oil burner from the Audi SQ7, denied us after Volkswagen Group pulled diesels from the US market. Auto Motor und Sport reports that Bentley will add two more powertrains to the mix over the next year, but it's unclear whether any of them will come here: a 4.0-liter gasoline V8, and a plug-in hybrid. The German publication expects the Porsche-developed 4.0-liter, twin-turbo V8 to get the nod for Bentley use. That engine serves in the Porsche Cayenne Turbo (550 hp/567 lb-ft) and Lamborghini Urus (650 hp/627 lb-ft), which both share their MLB platform with the Bentayga. Making sure not to step on the toes of the W12, the 4.0-liter petrol V8 will get something like the Cayenne Turbo's 550 hp. We've seen spy shots of the Bentayga PHEV testing at the Nurburgring, but we weren't sure what the SUV used for motivation. Porsche again donates equipment for the plug-in hybrid Bentayga, the forthcoming powertrain swiped from the Panamera 4 E-Hybrid. In the Porsche, total output comes to 462 hp and 516 lb-ft. Spy shooters captured a photo of an "EV Mode" button inside the Bentayga, so we know it will do silent running; the 14.1 kWh battery in the Panamera E-Hybrid provides 31 miles of electric-only range. Both powertrains will provide a lower price point for the Bentayga compared to the W12, a stat line that should increase the big Bentley's appeal even though sales already qualify as gangbusters, considering the vehicle. According to AMS, the 4.0-liter gas V8 Bentayga should show up sometime around summer 2018, the PHEV to follow. Related Video:
Bentley Mulsanne Grand Convertible due in 2017, Speed 6 still in play
Sat, Sep 26 2015Automobile outlines the near-term future of the Bentley line-up, finding a few items of gold and perhaps one that brand purists will consider a goldbrick. Dealers are taking orders for the the Bentley Grand Convertible, a ragtop Mulsanne introduced at the LA Auto Show last year, and it is expected to reveal its production form sometime late next year on its way to showroom floors by early 2017. Brand CEO Wolfgang Durheimer said "Mulsanne will get further derivatives," plural. Perhaps that means that with a convertible on its way to reality, a coupe something like a modern Brooklands will follow. A long-wheelbase Mulsanne is in the works, too. The Grand Convertible will wear the Mulsanne's new face, scheduled for reveal at next year's Geneva Motor Show. Automobile says the front will be "squarer" and the grille "more upright," which we didn't think was possible, and boast "three brick-shaped air intakes," apparently to emphasize the upright squareness. Plus, new headlights. The third-generation Continental and Flying Spur ranges would come after that, laid atop the MSB platform and rolling out of Crewe over a two-year period starting in 2017. They should still be powered by 4.0-liter V8 and 6.0-liter W12 engines, but the bodywork around those motors will be "both evolutionary and daring." This, then, should be the leap that Bentley wanted to make with the second-generation Continental but couldn't. Whither the EXP 10 Speed 6? Durheimer said the customer response has been, "Don't ask us questions, just do it." The last news we had over the summer was that Bentley was deciding whether to expand the line-up next with a small SUV or the Speed 6. It's not clear which will come first, but Durheimer said, "I'm confident that with EXP10 Speed 6 we will find a good solution," and the business case for it goes to the board a year from now. Automobile suggests it will go on sale in 2020 with a 600-horsepower, twin-turbo V8. That smaller SUV is still on the table, though, an entry-level offering that would use the re-engineered bones of the Audi Q5.
