Talk about excess! Bentley dropped today a new variant of their Bentayga SUV, and it’s a bit confusing. The variant in question is called the Bentayga Speed and it’s a super deluxe S...

It is no longer cool, at least among the sophisticated well-to-do people, to have the biggest, largest and most extravagant. That is why luxury car makers have adopted downsizing routine this past few years, although downsizing for them is replacing a V12, or W12, engine with a V8. That is the case with the2018 Bentley Bentayga V8. Powered by a sweet-sounding4.0-litre, twin-turbocharged V8 petrol engine, the2018 Bentley Bentayga V8is the ‘sensible’ version of this super deluxe SUV with 550 horsepower and568 lb.ft. (770 Nm) of torque. That power is what makes the W12 version look utterly and completely pointless. It propels the road yacht from0 to 60 mph in 4.4 seconds (0-100 km/h in 4.5 ...

As great as the new Continental GT is in standard form, there are those who will nag Bentley through the ordering process about how it’s not special enough. To shut these guys up, at least for a while, they have come up with theBentley Continental GT First Edition which is a more extravagant version of the grand tourer produced in limited numbers. Bentley wanted this model to not only present extremely high levels of luxury to the disceing customers, but also to wow them with technological highlights. SoBentley Continental GT First Edition comes as standard with theBentley Rotating Display 12.3 inch touchscreen display. This allows you to seamlessly switch between three differ...

It is delightfulthat in this climate of downsizing and extreme efficiency there are still those who care only for refinement and luxury. But their efforts are not in tune with the times and therefore could seem quite ridiculous to some. Suc...

Yes, it’s as good as we were all hoping! The Speed 6-inspired2018 Bentley Continental GT is now official and boy is it beautiful. The old GT has been around since the stone age, but tus out the replacement was well worth the wait. Slimmer lights and an overall curvier and more hunkered-down look are the main features of the new model.2018 Bentley Continental GT has lots of fine details in...

It is usually the top dog W12 version of the Bentley Flying Spur that gets all the special treatments, but this time they decided to show some love to the V8 S and came up with a Black Edition model which makes the luxury sedan look and feel a lot cooler. It does so through the addition a host o...

The latest limited edition version of the Bentley GT is inspired byluxury yachting and is pitched as theultimate edition of this model in terms of luxuriousness and style. The Bentley Continental GT Convertible Galene is built by the celebrated Mulliner division in collaboration withPrincess ...

A car ofBentley Mulsae‘s class and prestige does not really need modifications and upgrades, mainly because it’s like getting a Cartier watch and then spray painting the bezel. But for those who aren’t satisfied with the car in standard guise, there are now some mild upgrades available from s...

Celebrating their participation in theNurburgring 24 Hours endurance race for the third consecutive year withthree Continental GT3s, Bentley has released a new limited edition model. It’s called theBentley Continental 24 and as you may have already guessed it is limited to24 bespoke models f...

While the new Bentley Bentayga SUV is not getting much love from the brand’s traditional customer base, it is doing marvelously in new money markets . That is why they go the trouble of making models like this Bentley Bentayga Falconry to cater to th...

According to the company’s official themselves, Bentley just wants to be different than anyone else, and by different they mean better. So when it comes to promoting their cars a mere old-fashioned ad won’t do. Oh no. They employed NASA technology to make a 7-billion pixelBentley Gigapixel Image wh...

We never got the point of these automatic parking systems in small hatchbacks and city cars. Frankly, if you can park a car like Kia Ceed you should not be allowed to drive at all. An auto parking system makes sense when you have a big and bulky, not to mention expensive, car like the Bentley Bentayga. In this video the guys from Bentley Tampa Bay give a demonstration of how the auto park system in Bentley Bentayga is engaged and how it works: [embedded content] Bentley Bentayga W12 Specs: Engine capacity: 5950 cc Max power: 600 bhp/ 447 kW / 608 PS @ 5000-6000 rpm Max torque: 900 Nm / 664 lb.ft @1350 rpm Acceleration: 0 – 60mph 4.0 secs / 0 – 100 km/h 4.1 secs Max speed: 187 mph / 301 ...

Following an early preview with some wheels, the full-fat version of Startech Bentley Bentayga is now ready to roll and it’s looking good. Well, we say full fat, but for now you only get visual mods. There is a power kit in the works, but it’s not ready yet. But who would want to tweak a twin-turbo V12 with 600 horsepower anyway? All Bentayga owners want at this stage is something to make their Bentley look more exclusive and preferably alter a few things in its appearance. After a quick look at the Startech Bentley Bentayga we have to say that’s a job done right here. Going deeper and starting to dissect Startech Bentley Bentayga styling package to its bits, one notices it consists of...

Bentley has come up with a special accessory for the Bentayga SUV, specifically designed for wealthy angling enthusiasts. It’s called Bentley Bentayga Fly Fishing, which is rather on the nose, and it’s a product of the car maker’s bespoke division, Mulliner. Bentley Bentayga Fly Fishing comes with everything a fishing aficionado can wish more, and much more besides. You lose pretty much all your boot space with this contraption, but it is pitched as an “exquisite installation” featuring four rods are stored in special tubes trimmed in Saddle leather with Linen cross-stitching. Meanwhile, in a bespoke carpet-trimmed hard pocket built into the side of the boot, there is a pair of landing ...

One of the hottest cars that came out of Crewe last year was the track-focused Bentley Continental GT3-R, a special model built as the road-going version of Bentley’s GT3 race car. But the car lost all the attention as quickly as it had grabbed them, partly because Bentley moved on to the promotion of the new Bentayga, and partly because the GT3-R didn’t make much sense anyway. What you got with the Bentley Continental GT3-R was a two-door hard-top Bentley that was quick for sure, but not remarkably quicker than the Speed version or even the regular GT for that matter, was less comfortable than all the other versions, and at $340K it was pricier as well. And then there were the looks wh...

Mulliner, as you may know, is a division of Bentley Motors specializing in bespoke options and treatments. Earlier this year at the Geneva Motor Show they unveiled a rather unique Orange Flame Bentley Continental GTC V8 S convertible with a special paint job. In this post we’ll have a closer look at this marvelous machine. The main highlight of this GTC is, of course, the paint work which consists of Orange Flame over Ghost White Pearlescent complete with a Black roof and Mulliner gloss black wheels. The combination might be tad brash for your taste, but we can’t recall seeing anything like this on any other car and that makes the Orange Flame Bentley Continental GTC rather exclusive. S...

Apart from being unreasonably big, uecessary luxurious, and unfathomably expensive, Bentley Bentayga also wants to be known as one of the world’s fastest and best performing SUVs. That is the point the British automaker tried to drive home at this year’s Goodwood Festival of Speed by hiring 74-year-old racing driver Derek Bell for the drive up the hill. Don’t think for a second, though, that old Derek is going to stop half way up the 1.16 mile course to have a wee in the bushes. For one thing, this awesome dude has in his resume no less than five Le Mans wins. What’s more, he’d been involved from the very begiing in the development of Bentley Bentayga. He knows this beast inside out: [e...

Even though the newBentley Bentayga is flying out of the showrooms these days, most of the reviews and “expert opinions” we have heard about the beefy British SUV have been full of negative points. People have mocked this car from the way it looks right down to its target audience, which is said to be snobs and the nouveau riche. That is, of course, a very bright green light to the tuners to go nuts with it. Mansory was the first to tease us and upcoming package for the Bentley Bentayga and now Brabus subsidiary Startech previews their package. Instead of releasing an incomprehensible teaser though, Startech has sent out pictures of big Bentley sporting their coolest wheels. The STARTEC...

There is a new contender in the super fast, ultra-luxe coupe market, except that it’s not really new. It’s a revised version of the Bentley Continental GT Speed which has been around in one form or another for getting on fifteen years now. You could argue, however, that this one is the cream of the crop. The new Bentley Continental GT Speed is packing not just the good looks of the latest face-lift surgery the Conti went through recently, but also an improved version of the firm’s famous 6.0-litre twin-turbocharged W12 engine. It now makes 642 horsepower which translates on the road into 0-60 mph sprint time of just 3.9 seconds — which is brilliant considering the weight and bulk of the...

One of the stars of this year’s Geneva Motor Show, at least among tuner cars, was the new Startech Bentley Continental GT featuring a unique styling kit. Now only a few weeks following its debut the first Startech GT is launched in North America by Driving Emotions Motorcar. What makes Startech Bentley Continental GT such a cool proposition as far as styling kits got for this British luxury model is the massive size of the thing. The new carbon fiber front spoiler and grille surrounds, the side skirts, and the rear diffuser stick out unashamedly, flaunting their clear-coated carbon finish. The new parts are designed around the shape of the face-lifted GT’s bumpers. This particular St...
