Little more than two minutes behind the wheel of the 2020 Bentley Flying Spur, an opportunity to test its 626 horsepower presents itself. The narrow, twisting streets of Monaco are filled with tourists, rich residents, and buzzing scooters, and few seem motivated to allow the driver of a six-figure luxury sports sedan out from the shadow of the storied Hôtel de Paris and into the hectic traffic.
One of the cars that was pivotal for Bentley in its early days was the 1939 Bentley Corniche. The car was a departure from the traditional Bentley cars of the '20s and '30s and was the first to introduce streamlining in an attempt to reach faster speeds and improve the performance of the car. The styling of this historic car influenced the styling of all post-war Bentley models from the R Type Continental to the current Continental GT.
Bentley has unveiled its newest ultra-luxury ride called the Flying Spur First Edition at the Elton John AIDS Foundation Gala. The vehicle was auctioned off to support the fund-raising that the charity hosted at the inaugural Midsummer Party, Picozzi's Villa Dorane on July 24. The car promises "astounding attention to detail" along with sculpted surfaces and intelligent technology.
Concept cars like the Bentley EXP 100 GT are eye-catching - and extreme - showcases of blue sky thinking at car companies, but according to the British automaker the huge luxury grand tourer also represents a roadmap of sorts for future production vehicles. While that might seem hard to believe, given features like the vast illuminated, animated grille and 6.5 foot long doors, the reality is that Bentley has used its concept to preview several features it intends to bring to market.
When it's your 100th birthday you celebrate, and if you're Bentley that means an electric car concept as lavish as it is technologically promising. Unveiled at the automaker's Crewe factory today, the Bentley EXP 100 GT is the company's vision of what luxury mobility will be in 2035, in an age company founder W.O. Bentley could hardly have imagined.
The Bentley Continental GT W12 is the blueprint for a grand tourer. Handsome and effortlessly powerful, it's more than enough car to have you skip the first class cabin and take your next cross-country jaunt into your own hands. What, then, to make of the 2020 Continental GT V8? If you've come looking for compromise then you're on a fool's errand: while the engine may be smaller, the experience for more enthusiastic drivers is a whole lot bigger.
Bentley probably isn't the first automaker you'd associate with electrification, and unsurprisingly the 2020 Bentayga Hybrid is not your typical electric SUV. The newest - and, at $156,900, most affordable - version of the company's still-mildly-controversial luxe truck, the Bentayga Hybrid arrives at the dawn of a new age for Bentley, one where green isn't just a shortened reference to "British Racing Green."
The 2020 Bentley Flying Spur is here, and if you've been waiting for a handcrafted luxury sedan that just so happens to do 207 mph, this will probably do the trick. Unveiled the today, it's a host of firsts for Bentley - like the new all-wheel steering - but paired with the automaker's hallmarks such as a 6.0-liter, twin-turbocharged W12 engine.
The automotive world is no stranger to crazy level builds, but a recent one in Russia might be the strangest yet. A YouTube channel called AcademeG picked up the cheapest Bentley Continental GT that could be found. Cheap and Bentley aren't words that seem to go together, and while we have no word on just how cheap the Bentley was, we do know what was wrong with it.
Bentley has unveiled a one-of-a-kind Continental GT Convertible by Mulliner that is a very distinctive ride that pays homage to the Bavarian region. The ride was inspired by the beauty of the Bavarian region and was designed by Stefan Sielaff, Director of Design for Bentley.
Bentley has announced a new version of the high-end and luxurious Bentayga SUV. Specifically, this is the Bantayga V8 Design Series that brings unique enhancements to the inside and outside of the vehicle. Mulliner enhancements are standard including Palladium Grey wheels.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but I'll happily argue with you all day long that the new 2019 Bentley Continental GT Convertible is more of a looker than its coupe sibling. The grandest drop-top version of the Continental GT is still one of the most luxurious places to spend your time in. It also happens to be one of the best ways to spend $236,000 and change.
