Decent fuel economy is, of course, one of the stupidest things to say about the fuel economy of a road burning monster the likes of the Bentley Continental GT.

That's why they've refreshed the Bentley Continental GT, given it a smaller motor and so on but they still have something to introduce the proper gentleman driver to.

It seems that after Mercedes announced how they've decided to kill off the Maybach brand due to low sales some players really want its market share. One would think there's too little of it to matter but that's not the way the British at Bentley see the problem. Maybach only had a target of around 1000 cars a year and...

When the British at Bentley introduced their Continental GT back in 2003, a great part of its acclaim was in the 6.0 liter twin-turbocharged W12 engine.

It seems like in China it's not just people that are having issues distinguishing themselves among the crowds. The same happens with cars, even the rare expensive ones too. Apparently things have gotten so bad that the 2011 Bentley Continental Flying Spur needs a special edition to make itself stand out in China. This is why the British company has...

Following a considerable amount of tradition in making large two door coupes, Bentley launched the Continental GT back in 2003 as the first of its kind under VW ownership. Unlike any of its predecessors, the Bentley Continental GT wasn't an all British design since most of what's underneath the handsome coupe body actually comes from the Volkswagen Phaeton. - This...
