New Special Edition Supersports Convertible

2011-03-01T06:07:00.000-08:00

To celebrate the 205.5mph (330.7km/h) world ice-speed record that was set two weeks ago by Finland’s four-time world rally champion Juha Kankkunen in a Continental Supersports convertible, Bentley has unveiled a new special edition version of its drop-top model that will be built in a limited run of 100 units.

To be revealed at the Geneva Motor Show on March 1, the new Supersports ‘Ice Speed Record’ will be available in a choice of three bespoke paint colours - Beluga, Quartzite and Arctica White. Whatever color you choose, the soft-top is finished in a dark grey 'metallic look'. The special edition also gets new 20-inch, 10-spoke alloy wheels with a dark tint finish that are wrapped in Pirelli 275/35ZR20 ultra high performance tires.

Bentley claim the Ice Speed Record model is capable of 0-62mph in four seconds, 0-100mph in 9.4 seconds and a top speed of 202mph.

Bentley Flying Spur Series 51 at Geneva Auto Show

2011-03-01T06:05:00.000-08:00

Bentley has officially showcased their Flying Spur Series 51 at the Geneva Motor Show. The Series 51 models were first seen on the Bentley Continental GT and GTC, but now the package is also an option for the Continental Flying Spur. The Series 51 are named after Bentley’s first official styling department in the 1950s.
Series 51 designs allow customers to tailor their cars to their individual tastes. They can choose from an extensive line-up of special colors, materials and options. Bentley has reserved the limited-edition Sapelli Pomelle veneer for the Series 51 Flying Spur and a range of further options, including Bentley’s leather trimmed child seat and scatter cushions for the rear seats, may also be specified. They have also created an unique Series 51 graphite-finished nine-spoke, 19 inch sports alloy wheel, while twin Series 51 wing badges, positioned behind the front wheel arches, complete the bespoke look.

All the latest Continental Flying Spurs, including Series 51 models, may now be specified with blue brake callipers and front wing vents. These sleek vents, positioned to the rear of the front wheel arches, are set into a tooled wing panel and feature a black or chrome mesh finish.

Bentley Continental GTC Speed 2010 road test

2010-06-26T04:37:00.000-07:00

Until recently the Bentley Continental GTC Speed was the most powerful convertible Bentley had ever produced and only lost the tag when the range-topping “Supersports” Continental was let off the leash in mid-2010. Building on the success of the Continental GT the “Speed” features the famous W12 6.0-litre Bentley engine but the engineers have managed to increase power from 552bhp to 600bhp, does the Speed live up to its name?

There aren’t many car manufacturers that would collectively sit down and look at an existing model which has a top speed of 195mph, 552 bhp under the bonnet, a 0-62mph time of 5.1 seconds and think it wasn’t swift enough but these discussions look to have taken place at the Crewe-based prestige car maker. The result of these talks is the Continental GT Speed – available in coupe or convertible form, which features an up-rated engine under that beautiful bonnet. The engine offers 15% more torque and 9% more power than the standard Continental GT, while engine efficiency is optimised by the use of lower friction, lighter-weight components and a new engine management system. Thanks to this power and torque increase, and a 55kg reduction in weight, the GTC Speed is capable of hitting 200mph and 0-62mph time shaves 0.3 seconds off the standard Continental GT at 4.8 seconds. Coupled to the engine is a flawless six-speed automatic transmission. The result is a stunning experience, with almost bottomless well-like reserves of power to be had. Put the pedal to the foot and instantly feel and hear the engine roar, in lesser hands all that power could have been a problem, but the engineers at Bentley are well versed in ensuring all the grunt finds its way to the tarmac, and those majestic 20-inch alloy wheels. The latest versions of the W12 6.0-litre engine have the capability to run on petrol, E85 bioethanol or any mix of the two, all from the single tank. Running the car on E85 can have a significant positive impact on “well-to-wheel” emissions, however at 396g/km, CO2 emissions are among the highest of any production car on UK roads. Fuel consumption isn’t the car’s strong point either, the engine’s thirsty and the car weights near two and a half tonnes, so a combined mpg figure of 17 isn’t going to win the car any economy awards. Frankly though, the Bentley Continental GTC Speed isn’t about frugality, it’s about performance, style and luxury. And on those three criteria the car scores a perfect 5.

Bentley Continental Flying Spur Speed China

2010-06-23T21:17:00.000-07:00

British manufacturer Bentley brought the newest edition of the Continental Flying Spur Speed China to the 2010 Auto China Motor Show.

The new edition developed especially for the Chinese market features a bespoke comfort suspension setting, which helps the car to deliver a superior ride quality for both the driver and passenger. The Continental Flying Spur Speed is known as the world's fastest luxury four-door saloon. It appears that this latest edition will make no exception as it comes with the same W12 6-litre engine capable to push the car from 0 to 60 mph in just 4.5 seconds (0-100km/h in 4.8 seconds) with top speed reaching 200mph/322km/h. The latest edition has also a re-tuned exhaust in order to produce a quieter note. The Speed China is accompanied by a range of design features that accentuate the special edition status of the vehicle such as Speed China tread-plates and wing badges (with a matching badge visible on the centre console). Likewise, the famous Bentley 'B' emblem is affixed to both C pillars. Interior custom leather cushions for rear passengers are embroidered with Bentley wings as well. Each car will also be available with a special display case for the ignition key.

2011 Bentley Mulsanne Review

2010-06-21T17:28:00.000-07:00

In the Bentley lineup, the Mulsanne slips into the top spot recently vacated by the Arnage sedan, that aged doyen of the luxury-car class. Well, perhaps not exactly the same spot. The Mulsanne is better than fifty grand more expensive, at $287,600 plus a still-to-be-determined gas-guzzler tax. It's also a tick less than seven inches longer while tipping the scales at the same Rubenesque 5700 pounds. The regal coachwork, much of it hand-finished, is draped over a six-inch-longer wheelbase. In price, size, and bearing, the Mulsanne moves closer to Rolls-Royce. Actually, by most measures, it nestles in between the Rolls Phantom and the new Rolls-Royce Ghost.

Bentley claims that the Mulsanne is the company's first from-scratch vehicle in eighty years (!), meaning that it's the first Bentley not adapted from another car. (The Continentals, for instance, are built off the platform of the Volkswagen Phaeton, and previous big Bentleys were adapted Rolls-Royce designs.) Even so, there are some items shared with the Audi A8, such as the Mulsanne's new eight-speed automatic transmission (by ZF) and the infotainment system, which is based on Audi's Multi Media Interface.

Although the Mulsanne is a new car, its mechanical layout is decidedly traditional, much more so than that of the Continental family. Whereas those cars all have a W-shaped twelve-cylinder engine driving all four wheels, the Mulsanne uses the massive V-8 and rear-wheel-drive configuration of its predecessor. The pushrod V-8 retains the previous bore and stroke dimensions, the "63/4 litre" designation, and two turbochargers. Brian Gush, head of powertrain and chassis, says that the previous engine "was a good starting point; then w

2011 Bentley Mulsanne Test Drive

2010-05-22T11:00:00.000-07:00

Bentley's flagship debuts at a time when the ultraluxury market is rebounding from a period where conspicuous consumption was viewed as a social liability. How does the high-priced, hand-crafted Mulsanne make a case for itself against mass-manufactured sedans?

The Bentley brand has gone through numerous cycles of boom and bust since W.O. Bentley fired up his first engine some 91 years ago, and the company's most recent challenge has been an economic downturn that has placed particular strain on the sales performance of the VW-owned British brand.

The poshest offering in Bentley's already lofty lineup, the new Mulsanne asserts the brand's most ambitious ideals of limited volume and hand-built assembly. But beneath its hand-rubbed paint, several engineering details reveal that Bentley is making subtle strides to adapt to the times. For instance, the Mulsanne's all-new powerplant is the first in its segment to feature variable displacement for improved fuel efficiency, and its 8-speed transmission boasts the first use of paddle shifters in any Bentley sedan. Let's go motoring to see how this big, pricey Bentley addresses the 21st century.

Bentley Mulsanne road test

2010-05-08T08:56:00.000-07:00

The Mulsanne is the first all-new bespoke Bentley in 80 years and is an important model for a company that took a bit of a beating during the recession (sales fell from 10,014 to 4,700 between 2007 and 2009). A £220,000 luxury limousine with a sporting twist that is in keeping with Bentley’s Le Mans-winning heritage, the Mulsanne is the company’s new flagship model, replacing the Arnage. Its looks are little controversial, with many critics finding its external styling a little too idiosyncratic for their tastes, but there’s no doubting its performance.

The Mulsanne, even in its most basic form, costs £220,000, a sum that can only be afforded by the very richest members of society. Add a few optional extras and the price soon rises beyond £250,000. But you don’t buy a Mulsanne if your bank balance is going to take a significant hit, so it would be unfair to mark it down in this category. After all, if you have that kind of money to spend on a car, it constitutes good value. In terms of running costs, it’s pretty much a question of if you have to ask, you can’t afford them. Fuel economy of 16.7mpg on the combined cycle is around what one would expect (although the Rolls-Royce Ghost’s 20.8mpg betters it) and CO2 emissions of 393g/km mean that it’s positioned in Band M for vehicle excise duty, which will cost £950 in the first year and £435 in subsequent years. Residual values should be decent, but the Mulsanne won’t be as good an investment as a Picasso lithograph. The previous Arnage retained around 44% of its value after three years and 60,000 miles, which is a good indicator of how the new model will fare.

Bentley Mulsanne car review

2010-05-08T08:49:00.000-07:00

First impressions have been mixed. Many questioned the Mulsanne’s styling when it was first revealed. I wasn’t one of them though, for what it’s worth, I reckon the Mulsanne blends just the right amount of subtle muscularity that’s long been a Bentley characteristic, with some real flair.

The exterior takes Bentley’s past and mixes in some future design elements – and the same is true of the interior. Traditional, with a blend of modernity, the Mulsanne is still a car that many cows have sacrificed their finest hides for. The dashboard is a true work of art, and the entire cabin is ringed by stunning, mirror finished, veneered wood. Combine that with soft leather everywhere else, just enough chrome and some piano black switches, and the Mulsanne feels like it’s worth every penny of the £220,000 asking price.

The controls all operate with solidity, the push-pull chrome ventilation knobs are a tactile treat and refreshingly old school, though behind the tradition is modern equipment to ensure that the Mulsanne works in this century. There’s a satnav system secreted away behind a wooden panel, featuring a 60 Gb hard drive and Bluetooth telecommunication. Bentley has even added a drawer within which you can drop your iPod, MP3 player or phone and connect it directly to the infotainment system.

2011 Bentley Azurev expected price and complete specifications

2010-04-29T19:24:00.000-07:00

The new Bentley Mulssane will be launched into the UK market very soon to become the British firm’s new flagship, replacing the mighty Arnage. But the lofty Mulsanne is way more important than just a new sedan. It will spawn a number of new models during its lifecycle, first of which will be the new generation Azure.

As the insiders tell us the new Bentley Azure will use the same platform as the Mulsanne, with some adjustments here and there since it’s a convertible. Apart form technicalities, it will also look pretty much the same as the big daddy only it will be a two-door obviously. As you see in these renderings, that goofy face of the Mulsanne actually fits better with the drop-top style than the limousine!

2011 Bentley Continental GT Design Series China and 2011 Continental Flying Spur Speed China

2010-04-23T08:02:00.000-07:00

Continental GT Design Series China

The Continental GT Design Series China will be available in unique Orange Flame or Magenta Metallic paint. The interior surfaces feature a three-tone design that contrasts the primary leather, the seat and door inserts, and the interior accent trim. Accents are offered in orange or magenta—depending on exterior paint, of course—and can be applied to the seatbelts, floor mats, seat piping, or steering-wheel stitching. Lining the cabin is the customer’s choice of piano black, burr walnut, or exotic amboyna wood veneers. Design Series China badges adorn the center console, door sills, and front fenders. Although this package sounds really gaudy and tasteless, we think the orange car shown here actually works. We’ll withhold judgment on the magenta until we see some photos.

Continental Flying Spur Speed China

There’s also a special-edition Flying Spur Speed revised to suit Chinese tastes. Complementing the car’s performance abilities—we clocked a 4.2-second 0–60 sprint—the Spur Speed China has a new “Comfort” suspension setting and a quieter exhaust. Bentley says this achieves the higher levels of refinement and comfort sought by Chinese customers. We say the Speed’s exhaust note is too quiet to begin with, and the suspension is already adjustable. Don’t buy the Speed if you want soft.

Rear-seat passengers get treated to leather cushions embroidered with the Bentley winged logo, and the car comes with an extremely useful display case for the ignition key. The exterior C-pillars wear the Bentley “B” logo, and, like the Conti GT above, wears special badges on the center stack, door sills, and front fenders.a

Bentley Mulsanne hits the red carpet!

2010-04-19T03:13:00.000-07:00

The Bentley Mulsanne, the new flagship of the prestigious English brand, made its Canadian debut yesterday in Montreal. The scene was quite glamorous, with lovely young ladies dressed in samba costumes walking and dancing around $15-million Learjets!

The Mulsanne is Bentley’s new flagship and, even at $313,500 US, the order sheet for 2010 is already full. Customers will have to wait a year before taking delivery of their car. (

The exclusive event took place in the hangars of Starlink inside the Montreal-Trudeau Airport Terminal. On hand were select customers of Bentley Montreal, a division of Decarie Motors, as well as Christophe Georges, President and COO of Bentley Motors.

The media were there, too, which made it a great opportunity to wrap up the latest fund-raising campaign for the Quebec Cerebral Palsy Association, represented by Olympic champion Alexandre Bilodeau.

The finest automobile in the world!
Replacing the Arnage (1998-2009), the Bentley Mulsanne is an ultra-high-end sedan that rivals Rolls-Royces and Maybachs. Its world premiere was part of the 2009 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance.

The car will only become available to North American customers at the end of 2010, since production hasn’t even started yet. However, the entire run has already been pre-ordered. "Demand currently exceeds our production capacity, so if you order one today, it will be delivered to you in about a year," explains Georges.

The Mulsanne was actually designed to become a highly-exclusive model. The president didn’t give any specific number, but he mentioned a few hundred units per year at the most. (The Arnage, meanwhile, used to sell from 1,000 to 1,500 copies in its prime.) "Fifty years from now, the Mulsanne should and will become a collector’s item," he predicts.

Pricing for the Bentley Mulsanne has been set at $313,500 US. Of course, that number will be adjusted when the first Canadian models arrive in showrooms.

Sporty heritage
At the start of the project, designers were asked to create the "finest automobile in the world." The Mulsanne’s exterior captures a unique fusion of power, elegance and sporting style. "Charisma without arrogance" is how the president of Bentley Motors puts it.

Bentley Continental Models to be Flex-Fuel-Capable

2010-03-12T18:21:00.000-08:00

Bentley Continentals will be able to gulp down whiskey with the best of 'em: June. Well, not exactly whiskey, but ethanol's pretty close. Bentley had made the announcement (sans date) at the Geneva Motor Show when it showed off the Continental Supersports Convertible.
Bentley Continental sees this move as a big first step in reaching its stated goal of offering an entirely biofuel-capable lineup by 2012. In its latest form, Bentley's twin-turbocharged 6.0-liter W12 offers up 621 horsepower and 590 pound-feet of torque. That's sufficient to push the big Conti' to 60 miles per hour in 3.9 seconds and on up to a top speed of 202 mph.

As the Continental is Bentley's most popular model line by far, this means that over half of all cars the luxury brand sells this year will be flex-fuel models. For those keeping track, the Brooklands coupe (which will soon be discontinued), Azure sedan and the soon-to-be-released Mulsanne sedan (the replacement for the long-running Arnage) are still not yet biofuel capable. According to Automotive News, the Mulsanne will be E85-capable shortly after its launch later this year.

2010 Bentley Continental Supersports

2010-02-24T10:45:00.000-08:00

The 2010 Bentley Continental Supersports is to ultra-luxury performance cars what Shaquille O'Neal was to the NBA before he stopped taking himself seriously — big on the outside, small on the inside and overwhelming in just about any way that can be measured. Also, like Shaq, the Bentley becomes a lot more likable once one realizes it shouldn't be taken too seriously.

Anyone who witnessed Shaq Vs, the ABC reality show last summer in which the NBA superstar challenged other professional athletes in their respective disciplines, knows that Shaq is well beyond taking himself seriously these days. He's funny, amiable and even self-deprecating before and after having his ass handed to him by various experts in various sports. The 2010 Bentley Continental Supersports is much the same.

Bentley's Fastest Convertible Sportscar

2010-02-19T18:00:00.000-08:00

Having launched its Continental Supersports model last year, Bentley has followed this up with the introduction of an open-topped version. The Continental Supersports Convertible is the company's fastest drop-top yet, with a 0-62mph time of 4.2 seconds, a 0-100mph time of 9.6 seconds and a top speed of 202mph thanks to its 621bhp twin-turbocharged six-litre engine.

To cope with all this power, the Supersports has uprated suspension, carbon-ceramic brakes and Pirelli Ultra High Performance tyres. Larger air intakes and extended rear wheelarches are there for technical reasons, though they also give visual clues to the car's capability.

The engine, incidentally, is able to run on petrol, or E85 bioethanol, or a mixture of the two. Bentley aims to make all its cars - not just the Continental - able to run on biofuel by 2012.

Bentely has revealed another new model - it's fastest, greenest convertible ever.

The Continental Supersports Convertible will have a top speed of 202mph and be able to reach 60mp in just 3.9 seconds. It is sure to get pulses racing among Bentley's loyal army of footballer clients, who include England stars David Beckham, Wayne Rooney and Joleon Lescott.

Bentley Continental GTC SuperSports

2010-02-19T17:58:00.000-08:00

The Continental SuperSports sits at the top of Bentley’s range, as the halo performance variant of the Phaeton-based Continental range. It’s a bit out of place in my mind, to be honest: carbon fibre this and that, parcel shelf instead of a back seat, E85 flex-fuel capability, a horse-ton of horsepower, Darth Vader-on-meth styling, and a top speed that clears 200mph by a comfortable margin are not things one associates with an “old money” traditional British luxury brand. Still, it’s awesome in an “I don’t quite understand this” sort of way – there’s no obvious reason for it’s existence, but aren’t you glad it exists in the first place?

Well if you’re a fan of the Continental SuperSports, by the transitive property you should be even more of a fan of Bentley’s newest derivative of the Continental: the GTC SuperSports. It’s exactly what you’d expect: the fire-breathing SuperSports hardware stuck into the suave drop-top GTC body. Now, normally, I’d scoff at a convertible derivative of the highest-performance version of a sports car. It’s a pretty stupid concept. Convertible mean more weight, less torsional rigidity, more slop, and that undefinable “poseur” aspect that comes with intentionally choosing the “look at me!” version of a car. But with the GTC SuperSports, I think it actually makes a bit of sense.

First of all, the SuperSports doesn’t make any sense in the first place. So a flashier drop-top version of the same is more like glorious excess rather than a shallow marketing ploy (even if it is a shallow marketing ploy.) And it’s not like the SuperSports was a light vehicle to begin with – even with all the weight that Bentley hacked out of the Continental, the biofuel-munching SuperSports coupe still tips the scales at 4938 pounds, which isn’t going to go around a corner very quickly no matter how you look at it. And while that’s better than the 5181lbs of a regular Continental GT, it’s still about two and a half tons.

And frankly, this car wasn’t meant to be a corner-carver. What Bentley claims it is, however, is the fastest four-seat convertible in the world. The top speed drops 2mph over the hardtop version, but that’s still 202mph. Obviously, it take a lot of grunt to move 2.5 tons of British beef up past the double century mark, and the GTC SuperSports doesn’t lack in the that department. It shares the same tweaked 6.0L twin-turbo W12 motor as the coupe, which makes 621bhp and 590lb-ft of torque, regardless of whether it’s sucking down dead dinos or bioethanol. The drop-top will rip to 60 in 3.9 seconds and 100 in 9.6, which should be fast enough to ruin your $300 haircut lickety-split.

The engine is capable of running on gasoline and E85 biofuel or any combination of the two.

The 2010 Bentley Continental Supersports may be the most extreme example of sport luxury available today, putting mere BMWs to shame, but its navigation system is terrible.

LA Galaxy’s Beckham adds a Bentley to car collection

2009-11-26T23:37:00.000-08:00

World famous English footballer David Beckham, currently playing for USA side LA Galaxy, has reportedly splashed out on a new toy for Thanksgiving.

The former England captain, Manchester United and Real Madrid star has a dizzying array of stellar motors but he has obviously wanted to grab hold of something seriously fast this time as he has just taken delivery of a £160,000 Bentley Continental Supersports in quartzite.

Bentley’s fastest ever production car, the Supersports was given its debut at the Geneva Motor Show earlier in 2009 and comes with a fearsome reputation for searing pace, as seen at the Goodwood Festival of Speed during the summer when Le Mans racing legend Derek Bell put the car through its paces.

Manufactured out of Crewe the Continental Supersports is 110kg lighter than the Continental GT Speed and has been optimised to deliver a highly focused driving experience, the rear seats have also been removed making the car a muscular two-seater. With 621 bhp to call upon the car can achieve 0-60mph in only 3.7 seconds on its way to a top speed of an eye watering 204mph.

2010 Bentley Accessories Range

2009-11-17T04:50:00.001-08:00

Bentley Motors has launched a new collection of accessories highlighting the British company's design and craftsmanship skills. Whether purely functional or created to further accentuate and personalise the appearance of a customer's car, each accessory reflects the attention to detail at which Crewe's stylists and engineers excel.

One of the highlights of the new collection is the striking Vented Wings available for the Bentley Continental GT and GTC. Styled by Raul Pires, Bentley's head of exterior design, the sleek, vented wings further emphasize the Continental's sporting lines. Positioned to the rear of the front wheel arch, the vents are cut into a newly tooled wing panel and feature a black mesh finish. An alternative chrome mesh is currently under development and will be available in early 2010. This accessory will also be offered on Continental Flying Spur models.

The Bentley ethos of tailoring hand craftsmanship to customers' personal needs is now extended to the company's smallest enthusiasts. Customers may now commission a new selection of bespoke Child Seats with the hide colour matching that of their car's interior including, where appropriate, the same piping, fluting and hand-stitching. As a further option, a child's name may be embroidered on the seat back beneath the Bentley Wings.

Bentley's new Self-Levelling Wheel Badges offer Arnage, Azure, Brooklands and Continental customers the opportunity subtly to personalise their Bentley. The badges fit into the centre of the wheel and feature Bentley's classic ‘B' symbol surrounded by the ‘Bentley Motors' script and remain completely level and upright at speeds of up to 70mph (112 Km/h). Once the car comes to a halt the wheel badges will also automatically self-level.

Offering excellent indoor and outdoor protection (and tailored to specifically fit each model) Bentley's branded Car Covers are now available for the Continental Supersports and Series 51 GT and GTC models. The covers are branded with unique Supersports and Series 51 logos with the name of the model embroidered on the side.

Bentley Continental GTC Review

2009-10-19T12:29:00.000-07:00

Some might find it hard to believe that Bentley actually competed in the 24 Hours of Le Mans endurance race a few years ago -- and won. But with the help of its parent company, Volkswagen, Bentley has recently done a remarkable job in shedding its stuffy image and establishing itself as a contemporary luxury coachbuilder.

In that fashion, the Bentley Continental GTC is more than just a posh convertible. It's a high-performance drop top that manages to provide every bit of luxury you'd expect in a traditional Bentley, only now with more attitude and agility.

As its name suggests, the GTC is the convertible version of Bentley's successful four-seat Continental GT coupe. Like the coupe, the GTC has a powerful turbocharged W12 engine, all-wheel drive and an adjustable air suspension. To make up for lost body stiffness due to the lack of a fixed roof, Bentley has fitted the GTC with additional structural reinforcements. Curb weight is a couple hundred pounds more than the coupe.

It's true that a couple of other high-end convertibles are a bit more agile in terms of handling. But for those financially fortunate souls just wanting a luxury-focused grand touring four-seater, it doesn't get any better than Bentley's new GTC.

Current Bentley Continental GTC

The Bentley Continental GTC is a two-door luxury convertible with seating for four. There's also the GTC Speed, a higher-performance variant. Both versions of this luxury convertible are powered by a twin-turbocharged 6.0-liter W12 engine attached to a six-speed automatic transmission. All-wheel drive is standard. The base GTC produces 552 horsepower and 479 pound-feet of torque, which takes the GTC from zero to 60 in 5 seconds.

The GTC Speed features 600 hp and 553 lb-ft of torque, and gets from zero to 60 in 4.6 seconds. In addition to the bigger engine, the Speed version gets bigger wheels, bigger brakes, a retuned suspension and consequently improved handling dynamics. Despite these performance upgrades, the GTC Speed retains every drop of civility normally associated with Bentley's vehicles.

Inside, the Bentley Continental GTC is packed with features and amenities and is fitted with the finest wood and leather. The options are virtually limitless (though you'll pay handsomely for them). Buyers can choose between different colors for the convertible top and styles of wood trim. There are a variety of lambswool rug choices, 17 colors for the interior and 15 for the exterior.

With the push of a button, the convertible fabric top opens or closes in about 25 seconds and will even operate while the car is moving (at speeds up to 20 mph). Thanks to a modified version of the coupe's rear suspension, the top folds completely flat and maintains a sleek profile. If the rear seats are unoccupied -- they are surprisingly spacious -- a chrome and aluminum wind blocker can be raised over them to greatly reduce wind turbulence.

In road tests, our editors found the Continental GTC to be a tremendously dynamic drive, while remaining buttoned-down throughout. Acceleration is thrilling. Body roll can be eliminated with the firmest suspension setting, allowing this 5,500-pound luxury car to handle like a much smaller car. This goes double for the GTC Speed, which ups the performance ante considerably while still being a posh luxury cruiser. With the top down, expect noise to pick up considerably above 50 mph. Raising the windows buys you more quiet, and as long as there aren't surrounding cars filling the cabin with road noise, you can enjoy civilized conversation up to 80 mph.

Used Bentley Continental GTC Models

The Bentley Continental GTC represents the model's first generation, which was introduced for 2007. The GTC Speed arrived for 2009. Adaptive cruise control, an infinitely better iPod adapter and a 13-speaker Naim audio system also joined the options list that year.

Bentley Continental GTC Speed (2010) with pictures and wallpapers

2009-10-19T12:01:00.000-07:00

Introduction of the new Bentley Continental GTC range builds on this success with a subtle evolution of its distinctive style and a range of technical and feature enhancements benefiting comfort and customer choice. The appeal of the GTC is further strengthened by the addition of the new 600bhp (610PS) Bentley Continental GTC Speed model. It is Bentley's most powerful convertible ever and inspired by Bentley's legendary 'Speed Models' from the 1920s.

The new GTC models share a fresh frontal appearance. The radiator grille is more upright with a more pronounced square edge, accentuating the Bentley profile, and bolder lower air intake. These latest models are further distinguished by chrome headlamp bezels, the availability of two new exterior paints and a new colour hide.

For the standard Bentley Continental GTC, new low-friction dampers provide improved ride comfort. In addition, two significant new options may be specified on both GTC models: lightweight, fade-resistant, carbon-ceramic brakes, the largest production passenger car brakes in the world, and a sophisticated follow-to-stop Adaptive Cruise Control system with long-range radar sensor that monitors traffic ahead and manages throttle and brakes to maintain a driver-selected time gap.

The GTC's chassis and exceptionally rigid steel body have proved more than capable of coping with the power of the 552bhp (560PS) 6-litre W12 engine. For the new Bentley Continental GTC Speed, twin-turbocharged W12 now develops 600bhp (610PS) that delivers true 200 mph (322 km/h) performance, with the roof up, with exhilarating, effortless acceleration. Even with the roof down the Bentley Continental GTC Speed can reach 195 mph (312 km/h).

The Bentley Continental GTC Speed is visually distinguished by subtle design enhancements which emphasise its higher performance credentials. At the front, the radiator and lower air intake grilles feature a dark tinted matrix as standard. Larger diameter 9.5J x 20-inch, multi-spoke alloy wheels with Bentley-bespoke Pirelli PZero ultra-high performance (UHP) tyres, lowered and uprated suspension, wider twin-rifled exhaust tail pipes and a new boot-mounted lip spoiler that enhances high speed aerodynamics, reinforce the sporting character of the Speed model.

The GTC Speed's 600bhp (610PS) W12 engine develops 9 per cent more power than the standard GTC. However, it is the 15 per cent increase in torque that really distinguishes the Speed model, which now develops an impressive output of 750 Nm (553lb ft). This is achieved across virtually the complete rev range, from just 1700 to 5600 rev/min, delivering that characteristic Bentley wave of torque.

The 0-60 mph sprint is despatched in a mere 4.5 seconds (0-100km/h in 4.8 seconds) and 0-100 mph in 10.6 seconds (0-160 km/h in 10.5 seconds).

The GT Speed coupe, which debuted in 2007, has become the top selling GT model across the globe. This was followed in summer 2008 by the 4-door Continental Flying Spur Speed. Now, the Speed family is completed with the introduction of the Bentley Continental GTC Speed, which is expected to account for up to two-thirds of GTC sales worldwide in its first year of production.

Enhanced powertrain delivers more power and torque

Both Continental GTC models are powered by Bentley's 6-litre, twin-turbocharged W12 engine which is produced exclusively at the company's Crewe engine plant. The Bentley W12 is the most compact 12-cylinder engine in production with 48 valves and 4 camshafts with continually variable valve timing. Power is transmitted via a ZF six-speed automatic transmission.

The Bentley Continental GTC Speed is powered by Bentley's W12 engine in its most powerful, 600 bhp (610PS) form. It develops 15 per cent more torque and 9 per cent more power than the 552bhp (560PS) standard Bentley Continental GTC.

Engine efficiency improvements result from the use of lower friction, lighter-weight components and a new engine management system, while twin, low inertia turbochargers with minimal turbo lag contribute to the W12 engine's flat torque curve. In 600 bhp (610PS) form, the W12 develops a maximum torque of 750 Nm (553 lb ft) from 1700 rev/min all the way up to 5600 rev/min. The GTC Speed engine is visually differentiated by the 'crackle black' finish to the intake manifold.

This endows the Bentley Continental GTC Speed with a top speed of 200mph (322 km/h) with the roof-up and a 0-60mph sprint time of just 4.5 seconds (0-100 km/h in 4.8 secs). It also accelerates from 0-100 mph in just 10.6 seconds (0-160 km/h in 10.5 seconds).

The six-speed transmission can be left in two fully automatic modes (Drive and Sport) or used as a clutchless manual where the driver can change gears sequentially, via either the gearlever or paddles mounted behind the steering wheel.

The advanced continuous all-wheel drive system of both GTC models provides exceptional traction in all weathers. The drive is transferred between the front and rear axles via a highly sensitive centre Torsen differential. If the differential detects a deviation in torque demand between the two axles it automatically sends more power to the wheels with greater grip.

Both the GTC and GTC Speed also feature an advanced electronic stability programme (ESP 8.1). The 'Sport Traction' mode for the GTC moderates ESP intervention at low speeds, benefiting driver interaction and control, particularly on low traction surfaces. The 'Dynamic Mode' of the GTC Speed allows increased wheel slip at higher speeds compared to the standard chassis. This ensures that torque is reinstated more quickly, allowing the driver to exploit the full potential of the engine.

A luxury convertible with outstanding ride and handling

The Continental GTC's steel body has an exceptionally rigid torsional stiffness of around 30Hz that not only minimises 'scuttle shake' but provides a very stable platform for the aluminium-intensive suspension system, optimising its performance. Despite the boost in power and torque for the GTC Speed model, no changes to the body structure were required.

For the 552bhp (560PS) GTC, new low-friction dampers provide improved secondary ride (the response of the car to poor road surfaces) and even greater levels of comfort.

The Bentley Continental GTC Speed has a range of dynamic enhancements that deliver a more sporting, open-top Bentley driving experience. The retuned Continous Damping Control (CDC) system ensures that the body response matches the inputs from the new sports wheels and tyres, while improved body control reduces pitch and roll when cornering enthusiastically. In addition, stiffer rear axle bushes deliver better axle control and turn-in response.

The GTC Speed's suspension is lowered by 10 mm at the front and 15 mm at the rear for improved handling, while the retuned speed-sensitive steering system and solid-mounted front subframe, shared with the standard GTC, benefit steering response.

The wider 9.5J x 20-inch multi-spoke alloy wheels, unique to the GTC Speed, are fitted with bespoke 275/35 ZR20 Pirelli PZero ultra-high performance tyres that provide the car with superior grip as well as sharper steering response and feel.

To ensure optimum aerodynamic balance at speeds up to 200 mph (322 km/h) the new GTC Speed is fitted with a discreet spoiler on the trailing edge of the bootlid. This provides additional downforce and increases the top speed.

For both models, Bentley's carbon-ceramic brakes (CCB) are offered as a cost option. Larger diameter (420 mm front, 356 mm rear), lightweight discs and eight-piston callipers offer fade-resistant braking performance with minimal disc distortion under high thermal conditions. A 20kg weight saving reduces unsprung mass and benefits steering response and handling. This braking system may only be specified with 20-inch diameter wheels and are the largest and most powerful brakes ever fitted to a production car.

The standard-fit tyre-pressure monitoring system (TPMS) allows drivers to select tyre type and speed range parameters. As well as monitoring pressures, the system warns drivers if their speed is too high for the tyre pressures or if tyre speed ratings are exceeded on winter tyres.

Commenting on the GTC Speed's character, Dr. Ulrich Eichhorn, Member of the Board, Engineering, said:

"The Bentley Continental GTC Speed offers supercar performance, superb refinement, comfort and unrivalled craftsmanship all in one car. It perfectly evokes the spirit of the original Bentley 'Speed Model' of the 1920s."

Subtle evolution of the GTC's distinctive style

Both the GTC and GTC Speed benefit from subtle revisions to their frontal appearance.

The matrix grille is now more vertical and has a more pronounced square edge that accentuates the distinctive Bentley profile. A new lower bumper design with a widened air intake reinforces the sporting stance of both GTC convertibles, complemented by new chrome headlamp bezels. The new design also provides a practical benefit by improving airflow to the more powerful Speed engine by 14 per cent.

The Bentley Continental GTC Speed has a unique set of design cues, notably a dark-tinted matrix grille to the upper and lower air intakes, a black lower bumper valance, wider, rifled exhaust tailpipes and 20-inch, silver-painted, multi-spoke alloy wheels. The wheels are available as an option with a special dark tint finish.

GTC and GTC Speed customers have a choice of 17 'standard' paint colours including two new colours (Aquamarine and Blue Crystal).

Luxurious hand-crafted cabin

The cabins of both GTC and GTC Speed are available with a choice of 6 natural, unbleached, laser-cut wood veneers and 17 premium grade leather hides, including the new option, Aquamarine.

The GTC Speed's cabin is based on that of the Mulliner Driving Specification (a cost option on the standard GTC). It features diamond quilted hide seats with embroidered Bentley emblems, a knurled chrome and hide gearlever and a three-spoke multi-function steering wheel with brushed aluminium switch surround. These are complemented by drilled alloy foot-pedals and 'Speed' logos to the polished treadplates. The standard GTC also receives a new Bentley 'B' brake pedal.

A range of options give further opportunities for personalisation, including fascia panels, centre console, door pads and rear quarters in bright aluminium. Uniquely, the Bentley Continental GTC Speed is also available with a dark tint aluminium option.

New adaptive cruise control system

A sophisticated follow-to-stop, radar-based Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) system is now available on both GTC and GTC Speed. It uses a long-range radar sensor, mounted in the lower front grille, to monitor the road ahead for other vehicles. When a slower moving vehicle is detected, the system automatically adjusts the throttle or brakes to maintain a 'time gap', as selected by the driver.

Bentley Motors Designs Limited Collector’s Edition of New James Bond Book, Devil May Care

2009-10-14T06:49:00.000-07:00

In a unique collaboration between three of Britain’s iconic brands – James Bond, Bentley Motors and Penguin Books - a special, limited edition of the new Bond book Devil May Care will be published on 28th May. Written by Sebastian Faulks at the invitation of Ian Fleming Publications to celebrate the Ian Fleming centenary, Devil May Care is one of the most eagerly anticipated publications of 2008.

Cars and James Bond have always had a strong association and, contrary to popular belief, Bond’s preference has historically been firmly with Bentley Motors. He owned three Bentleys in the course of the fourteen original novels written by Ian Fleming. It is fitting therefore that in Devil May Care - published to coincide with the centenary of Ian Fleming’s birth - Bond is found once again in the driving seat of his favourite car.

Bentley Motors, a manufacturer of cars that offers the world’s most exclusive driving experience showcase the new Mulsanne last August 16, 2009 at Pebble Beach Concours D’Elegance in Monterey California. Mulsanne is Bentley’s all-new flagship grand tourer. This prestigious car is envisioned, fashioned, and engineered at the company’s headquarters in Crewe, England.

Mulsanne, which has a new and distinctive platform, is designed and inspired by Bentley’s founder W.O. Bentley. Engineers of the company were asked to create a car that would serve as the peak of British luxury motoring. As the result of their passionate engineers, they come up with a luxury grand tourer that offers a new standard of comfort, easy performance, and handcrafted sophistication. The 8 litre Mulsanne is created with the help of the guiding principles that were also used when Bentley manufactured a grand luxury car that is able to surpass every other leading manufacturer during the year 1930. The original Mulsanne 8 litre can reach a speed of more than 100 mph. Its performance is breathtaking and the quality unquestionable. Its mechanical details truly showcase the W.O. Bentleys unique stamp and it also exhibits the most vivid demonstration of a manufactured car without compromise. Mulsanne will also be displayed during the IAA Frankfurt Motor Show this September 15-27, 2009 and will be on sale in the mid 2010.

Bentley Continental GTC Speed, Fastest Four-Seat Convertible

Bentley Refreshes Continental GTC

2009-01-08T10:37:00.000-08:00

Even though the Continental GTC has only been around since 2006, Bentley thought that it was time to perform a light facelift to its luxury four-seater convertible.
