So, you missed the only chance to own an off-road prepped Bentley Continental GT, but deep down, you know that you still want one. Badly. Well, here’s the good news. While the Bentley Continental GT “Offroad” peddled by an outfit called Classic Youngtimers Consultancy may not be the same machine featured in NatGeo’s Supercar Megabuild, but it should does the job just as well. Powered by the same revered but really quite unnecessary complicated 6L W12 engine, this once made-for-tarmac luxe beast kicks out 560 hp and 479 lb-ft (650 Nm) of torque that would enable it to wipe the century sprint in mere 4.8 seconds and makes 197 mph (318 km/h) top speed.

This iPhone X Bentley Edition Is As Mysterious As It Is Beautiful
Well, what do we have here? An apparent iPhone X, but Bentley branded? TBH, nobody knows what the hell is going on with this mysterious device. I managed to trace to the source of this image, but even then, little is known. Based on the lone image, it is clear that this device is the handiwork of a company called Golden Ace, but nobody, pointed out to us where this Golden Ace might be and if you know me and this blog, we will never settle for anything less. I have spent a good half hour tracing the source of the image and landed on an Instagram account called Nedal Luxury.

One-Of-A-Kind ‘Rally-Spec’ Bentley Continental GT Sold For £40,800
In one episode of the National Geographic’s TV show, Supercar Megabuild, a Bentley Continental GT was ‘brutally’ put under the knife, turning it from a luxury road car into an apocalypse-worthy, luxury off-road vehicle. It was an act not all Bentley enthusiasts will condone and this being a Bentley, nobody would have fancy an off-road version anyways, unless, of course, it is an official factory example. Me, on the other hand, kind of love it, but I could be the minority and minor love it did get because, despite the 101 bids it has attracted when this one-of-a-kind ‘rally-spec’ Bentley Continental GT went on the block, it only managed to conclude with a £40,800 sticker (roughly US$55,000), which is lesser than an untouched Bentley Continental GT would have fetched.

Being a richie rich can be quite a pain. You can’t ride the luxe ride you love or zip city to city in your private jet without piling up on carbon footprint, but if you are a Bentley fan, you’d be glad that reprieve is almost here – thanks to the Bentley EXP 12 Speed 6e, luxury electric concept car that you’d be hard pressed not to take a second look.

Unfortunately, technical details is still a little muddy, or to be exact, there’s really none. Continue reading Bentley’s Vision Of Luxury Electric Car Is All Beauty And Copper, Lots Of It
Tradition-breaking Bentley EXP 10 Speed 6 is the Top Concept Car at Concorso d’Eleganza
Traditionally, Bentley sports cars are not something that will appeal to the young, given that most of them looks pretty much like the automaker’s grand limos with two less doors. However, things are about to change for the long-time British luxury car maker and we have a feeling it is going to start with the Bentley EXP 10 Speed 6 Concept Car. Debuted earlier this year in Geneva, Bentley has taken this refreshing concept to last month’s Concorso d’Eleganza at Villa D’Este and not surprisingly, the design was validated, wowing the judges and subsequently earning the EXP 10 Speed 6 the ‘Design Award for Concept Cars & Prototypes’. The thing about this concept from the Crewe-based company is, it looks decidedly a Bentley and at the same time, it has a design that’s clearly a huge departure from the firm’s usual design language.

Bentley Goes Topless in LA with Grand Convertible, Looks Like a Luxury Yacht on Wheels
Oddly beautiful is the way we would described the recently announced Bentley Grand Convertible. Why? It has a front-end that looks largely like a chauffeured luxury ride, but beyond that, it is a sporty two-door drop top. Pardon us for our bluntness, but we have always associate two-door cars, outside of trucks and vans, with a more sports car design and that’s including the front. Anyhow, I am sure the Bentley Grand Convertible will have its fair share of lovers and fans – if it ever gets produced. This shinning example is draped in a two tone paint job comprising of Sequin Blue and silver “liquid metal” finish, and is push forth by a 6.75L V8 twin turbo engine as found on the Mulsanne, putting out 530 horsepower and 811 lb-ft (1,100 Nm). And being a Bentley, it is naturally treated to the usual Bentley form of handcrafted luxury. Continue reading Bentley Goes Topless in LA with Grand Convertible, Looks Like a Luxury Yacht on Wheels

Bentley Announces Mulsanne Speed With Uprated Engine Producing 530HP and 1,100Nm of Torque
if you are rich enough to be chauffeured around (not by taxi, btw), doesn’t mean it has to be slow. in fact, it should be faster and in “ultra-luxury,” which you can do so in the new Bentley Mulsanne Speed, touted as a ride that will offer you the world’s fastest ultra-luxury experience. under its beefy hood sits a 63⁄4 V8 twin-turbo engine that makes 530 horsepower and turns out a breathtaking peak torque of 1,100 Nm (811 lb-ft) realized from 1,750 rpm. this mighty power plant is mated to a re-calibrated ZF 8-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifter, launching it from standstill to 62 mph in 4.9 seconds and it only takes another 6.1 seconds before the needle touches 100 mph, and finally topping out at 190 mph.
