2008 Bentley Continental Gt on 2040-cars
Ho Ho Kus, New Jersey, United States
When it was introduced in 2003, the Continental GT served as a renaissance car for Bentley and returned the
legendary British carmaker to a position of cultural and social status it had not enjoyed for more than 70 years.
These days, Bentley is very much alive and well, and the GT continues to be a flagship worthy of the marque.For
2008, Bentley offers the car in three flavors--the Continental GT coupe, Continental GTC convertible, and
Continental GT Speed. All are high-performance machines, and none will disappoint.As expected of a luxury supercar,
the GT, GTC, and GT Speed want for very little. All are powered by a twin-turbocharged 6.0L W12 engine, but while
the GT and GTC put out 552 horsepower and 479 lb-ft of torque (at just 1,600 rpm), the Speed takes things further
and delivers 600 horsepower and 553 lb-ft. Performance is stunning; all can travel at three times standard
interstate speeds and each achieves 60 mph in under 5 seconds, with the GT Speed reaching the mark in just 4.3
seconds. All utilize a six-speed automatic transmission, as well as air suspension and an advanced all-wheel drive
system with traction and stability control. The GT and GTC ride on 19-inch wheels, while 20-inch alloys hold the
tires on the Speed.Interiors feature premium leather in one of 17 colors, Burr Walnut veneer, a DVD navigation and
infotainment system, Sirius satellite radio, Bluetooth connectivity, six-disc CD changer, and column-mounted paddle
shifters. The Speed comes with diamond-quilted seating surfaces and doors, with the Bentley emblem embroidered into
the seats. It is also set apart by drilled alloy pedals, a sport gear lever, and a three-spoke sport steering
wheel. The GTC incorporates a premium fabric power top in one of five colors with a glass rear window.

Bentley opening new R&D center in Crewe
Tue, Dec 9 2014The world's fastest lorries. That's how Ettore Bugatti referred to cars from Bentley back in the day, employing the British term for trucks, long before the two became sister companies. Those immortal words will come true when Bentley launches its new SUV, which promises not only to be the most luxurious and prestigious but also the first to crack the 200-mile-per-hour mark. But it won't come without its share of investment. Bentley and its parent company Volkswagen will surely have invested untold millions to bring the luxury crossover to market, but the vehicle itself isn't the only major investment the British automaker and its German owners will have made when it does. Bentley is also embarking upon an unprecedented expansion of its headquarters in Crewe. The massive expansion plan, budgeted at over $60 million, will create over 300 new jobs and include the creation of a new research and development center on site. The facility will cover a good half-million square feet and include a design studio, R&D offices and technical workshops that will be home to some 1,300 engineers and will be "the latest step in preparing Bentley's infrastructure to bring the world's first ultra-luxury SUV to roads in 2016." Bentley may undertake some of the SUV's production at home in Crewe, but much of the work is expected to be completed alongside the next Volkswagen Touareg, Audi Q7 and Porsche Cayenne in Slovakia. The expansion plan was announced by Bentley chief Wolfgang Durheimer (also CEO of Bugatti) while George Osborne, Chancellor of the Exchequer (Britain's equivalent to the Secretary of the Treasury or most any other government's Minister of Finance) was visiting Crewe. "Bentley is an iconic British Brand that exports around the world. Their decision to create another 300 jobs in R&D on a new site providing close to 1,000 new jobs is fantastic news for Crewe and for Britain," said Osborne. "The investment will not only create jobs at Bentley, but support many more through suppliers across the UK." MULTI-MILLION POUND SITE EXPANSION BRINGS NEW JOBS TO BENTLEY - GBP40 million planned investment into Bentley headquarters in Crewe - New research and development centre to house 1,300 Bentley engineers - 300 new roles created (Crewe, 4 December 2014) Today, Bentley has announced the latest phase in the biggest site development in the company's history.
Bentley Bentayga strips a little more at the Nurburgring
Mon, May 18 2015Engineering its first SUV undoubtedly poses a number of challenges for the team at Bentley. It's got to ride cushy enough to satisfy upscale customers, the performance capabilities to live up to its claims, and the off-road chops to keep up with a Range Rover. It's a heck of an occasion to rise to, but the crew from Crewe is hard at work to bring it all together, as you can see from this latest batch of spy shots. Spied entering the Volkswagen Group's test facility at the Nurburgring, this pre-production prototype for the upcoming new Bentayga is still wearing some light camouflage – particularly around the head- and taillights – but looks about ready to hit showrooms. It's even got its brightwork in place. We'll still have to hold on a while longer to see all the finished details, but it's already abundantly clear that Bentley has gone to some lengths to make sure it looks better than the EXP 9 F that first dipped the company's toes in the crossover waters.
2012 Pebble Beach Concept Car Lawn offers a tutorial in cars to come
Sun, 19 Aug 2012The Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance is a showcase for some of the world's most exquisite vintage vehicles, but if newer metal is more your speed, the Concept Car Lawn is the place to be.
This year saw models from Bugatti, Lamborghini, Aston Martin, McLaren and Bentley as well as SRT, Hennessey, Infiniti and Lexus among others. The ultimate sampler platter of exotic and concept vehicles saw the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport Vitesse mingle with the Lamborghini Urus Concept and the mighty Hennessey Venom GT, though we found ourselves particularly smitten with the BMW Zagato Roadster and the Aston Martin Vanquish.
Not that we could go wrong anywhere we looked. The 2013 Bentley Continental GT Speed seemed perfectly content parked on the manicured putting green, as did the McLaren MP4-12C Spider. Get cozy with the full gallery below to see the smattering of metal on the lawn.
