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.

Weekly Recap: Auto execs face life in prison for recall delays under proposed legislation
Sat, 09 Aug 2014
The stiff punishments are part of broader transportation legislation, but clearly McCaskill has automakers in her sights.
Missouri Senator Claire McCaskill threw down the gauntlet this week, proposing a bill that could send auto executives to prison for life if they were found to have delayed a recall. She also wants to eliminate the limit for fines for auto safety violations, which are currently capped at $35 million.
Bentley teases new Flying Spur sedan
Mon, 18 Feb 2013Bentley has released another teaser video for its redesigned Flying Spur, and the next generation car is looking less like a grown up Continental GT and more like a junior Mulsanne. A viewing of the first teaser vid revealed a more upright grille, a three-spoke steering wheel, horizontal taillights and quarter panels with angles and curves certifiably lifted from the Mulsanne. After this second video, we can add lower door panels with a more aggressive shape, horizontal vents in the fenders and a rear end with the shape of proper haunches.
The English motorcar maker promises us we'll see more on February 20, when "performance and luxury unite." We'll be there in person when the "Camry for rich people" is revealed at the Geneva Motor Show next month. You'll find the videographic appetizer below.
Bentley CEO says Mulsanne Convertible isn't going to happen [w/poll]
Mon, 23 Sep 2013Bentley and Rolls-Royce may be as direct as competitors get, but that doesn't mean they go head-to-head on every model. Bentley is arguably more focused on its Continental line, with the pricier Mulsanne branching off of it. Rolls-Royce, meanwhile, only recently expanded (relatively) down-market with the Wraith and the Ghost on which it's based. For Rolls, it's long been about the Phantom and its coupe and convertible variants. And Bentley doesn't pose much of a challenge in that stratospheric segment.
Crewe discontinued the old Arnage-based Brooklands coupe and Azure convertible in 2009 and 2011, respectively, and hasn't rolled out a successor for either in the few years since. The high-end British automaker revealed a conceptual convertible based on the Mulsanne at Pebble Beach Concours last year and was said to be moving ahead with production plans, but the latest intel suggests that Bentley has taken it off the development table.
This according to Car and Driver, which spoke with Bentley's new chief exec Wolfgang Schreiber at the Frankfurt Motor Show. According to Schreiber, there just isn't enough demand worldwide to justify the development costs - even if it is based on the existing flagship sedan. Apparently Bentley has evaluated that beyond the US and Europe, they couldn't sell enough of them in other markets to make it worthwhile. We'd imagine some Middle-Eastern sheikhs might like to get their hands on a few, but apparently the higher priority is getting the Falcon sport-ute out the door.
