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.

2015 Bentley Mulsanne Speed is totally torque-tastic
Thu, 02 Oct 2014Eight hundred and eleven pound-feet of torque. Really, that's all you need to know about the 2015 Bentley Mulsanne Speed. It's the same ultra-luxurious cruiser that we've enjoyed for a few years now, but the crew in Crewe has upgraded its engine to create absolutely astonishing performance.
The storied 6.75-liter twin-turbo V8 has been massaged for the Mulsanne Speed to produce an equally impressive 530 horsepower (25 more than the standard model), but it's that 811 lb-ft of twist available from an ultra-low 1,750 rpm that makes this thing so worthy of its faster nomenclature. Hitting 60 miles per hour will take just 4.8 seconds (keep in mind, this thing weighs almost three tons), and the sedan will top out at 190 mph.
It's awesome, this Mulsanne. And we can't wait to twist some pavement when it launches this winter. Scroll down for more info in Bentley's press blast.
2014 Bentley Continental GT Speed Convertible runs topless through Motown
Tue, 15 Jan 2013Looking cool in blue (better than the Grimace-purple we saw a few weeks ago), with strong, tailored bodywork and a one-percenter-approved face, the 2013 Bentley GT Speed Convertible is right at home with all the exotic metal on the floor of Cobo Center here at the Detroit Auto Show.
You've already read about (or should have) the 616-horsepower, 590-pound-feet-of-torque 6.0-liter W12 engine that hides under the hood of the GT Speed droptop, and you've no doubt remembered the ludicrous top speed of 202 miles per hour. Impressive stats, all.
All that's left, then, unless you've got a wild hair to reexamine the full-fat Bentley press release (available below), is to direct you to the oven-fresh gallery of live images that we've compiled, just for you.
Bentley putting Mulsanne-based Azure, Brooklands back on the table [w/poll]
Sun, 27 Jul 2014Big plans are afoot at Bentley. The quintessentially British automaker has just about signed off on the final version of its new SUV, and will surely roll out more versions of the Continental in the coming years, but that's not all. It's said to be considering a new sports coupe smaller than the Continental GT, but the latest reports coming in from the UK suggest that it also has plans for the Mulsanne's platform.
Currently, the Mulsanne is only available in one configuration, but Bentley is widely expected to be bringing a new, more powerful Mulsanne Speed to the Paris Motor Show this fall with around 550 horsepower. That's not all, however, as word comes in that the Flying B marque is planning to re-introduce both the Azure and the Brooklands as competitors to the Rolls-Royce Phantom DHC and Phantom Coupe, respectively.
For those who don't remember, the Azure and Brooklands were a pair of two-doors based on the Arnage that preceded the Mulsanne at the top of Bentley's range. The Azure was a convertible and the Brooklands a fixed-roof coupe, both of them larger than the Continental GT and powered by the company's evergreen (yet decidedly un-green) 6.75-liter V8.
