Car of the Day # 25 Bentley Continental Supersports ISR Cabrio

Bentley's World Ice Speed Record model!

One expensive Repair Bill

Fender Bender Maybach 57

If you have a Maybach, and this happens, you'll be paying $24,000 just to fix it. Don't believe me? That's what happened in Monaco when a blonde girl in a Bentley Azure scraped a Ferrari F430, tussled a Mercedes S550, damaged an Aston Martin Rapide, and dented a Porsche 911 Carrera. There were many words that were exchanged during that whole debacle, but in the end, the woman took full responsibility of her actions. I hope she can pay the bill for her Bentley, cuz if she had that Maybach, she might be out of a job.

Ice King Pt. II

2011 Bentley Continental Supersports ISR Edition

Here it is, Ladies and Gentlemen. This is Bentley's "coolest" Continental to date. Although, in my mind, it doesn't look all that different than the original Supersports. Anyway, the car will be available in Quartzite, Arctic White, and Berluga as seen above. As an extra, Bentley has added 10 more horses to this car giving it 631 horsepower from its 6.0-liter Twin-Turbocharged W12 engine. 0 to 60 is done in just 3.7 seconds on its way to a top speed of 202 MPH. This car was made in honor of the world record set by Juha Kankkunen of taking a Bentley, like this one, to 205 MPH, on ice! No other car or driver was capable of achieving this great record. Only 100 examples will be made. So, if want a world record car, you better act fast.

2011 Bentley Continental Supersports Convertible Ice Speed Record

Once again, an automotive world record has been achieved from the manufacturer you least expect. Bentley recently tuned their big and powerful Continental Supersports Convertible to be more aerodynamic than usual. It still has that big 6.0-liter Twin-Turbocharged W12 engine with 631 horsepower, but with a lighter body and more aerodynamic styling, this car was able to set a world speed record, on ice. Yep! Bentley still produces the fastest snow cars on earth. This one reached a top speed of 205.10 MPH! That's fast anywhere, but even faster on snow. This was such a triumph, Bentley even plan to produce a special edition to this car. Obviously it won't look like this with no headlights, mirrors, or actual wheels, but it will have the same Twin-Turbocharged engine, will come in three unique arctic colors, and, as usual, will have all the drinks-globe luxury you need. Only 100 will be made. Prices have not been announced yet, but they might be at Geneva, where this car will be on display.

2010 Bentley Continental Flying Star Complete Details with Pics

These are avid collectors and enthusiasts, with a taste for the construction of special car, to be the basis for projects such as the Bentley Continental Flying Star by Touring. Just like the Touring Superleggera contacted in early 2008.

An initial process of creating an interesting appears on the design parameters, the proportion of vehicle concepts and – last but not least, the feasibility and technical factors. Many of the concept stage to implementation have been shared with the client, who contributed his own ideas and tastes to personalize the project and create a single vehicle. The basic idea was formed by a desire to diversify the range of very successful Bentley Continental models, and explore new concepts.

Transformation of a 2-door coupe, extend the roof line and expanding the internal dimensions, leading to a concept known as a shooting brake: a sports car with enough room to join the hunting party or a golf tournament with elegance and efficiency. Touring Superleggera explore the same area in 1966, produce prototypes Flying Star II Lamborghini extraordinary. That is a dramatic interpretation of a sports car based on a newly designed 2-volume, dynamic performance savings. Flying Star is the reference parameters through sporting elegance, applied to many famous car company since early 1926.
The Bentley Continental Flying Star by Touring inherits the chassis of the Continental GTC. The 6-liter, W12 engine is available either in the 560HP version which delivers 650NM of torque at 1600rpm or the GTC Speed variant which delivers a massive 750Nm from 610HP. The car exhibited in Geneva Motor Show features the GCT Speed specifications.
Performance braking, cornering and traction functions mesh together to provide precise and immediate driving control under extreme or difficult conditions.
Self-adjusting air springs and electronic dampers operate independently for each wheel. All-wheel drive promotes advanced traction.
Touring Superleggera undertakes a limited production run of up to 20 units of the Continental Flying Star. This series will be exclusively built to special order and customer specifications. The car is offered at a basic price of 2 590.000 when based on a Continental GTC - 560 PS. Other versions on request.
The car will be serviced at the Bentley dealers. Bentley Motors and Touring Superleggera have developed a special mutual warranty program, which safeguards warranty clauses for both the basic car, and the transformation by Touring.
Touring will only make 20 units with prices starting at €590,000 ($805,570 USD). At that price we’ll be surprised if they sell one.

2011 Bentley Mulsanne Sedan Review with Pictures

If you’re filthy stinking rich and want to oppress the proletariat in a drop top, your choice is limited to Rolls Royce or Bentley (because even a high end Mercedes is just so, common). For years, the Bentley Azure has been full of open top luxury, but hardly cutting edge in terms of style. A revised Azure, based on the upcoming Mulsanne sedan, looks to change that. Gone are the quad front headlights and over-done character line, replaced by larger dual headlights and a restyled body. The lines of the new Azure flow, instead of competing for attention as they do on the current model. Gone (thankfully) is the overdone front fascia and lower body cladding, which would have been more fitting on a Pontiac than on a Bentley.
The new Azure should share a power train with the Mulsanne. If it does, the 6.8 liter V8 will come with 505 horsepower and 752 ft-lbs. of torque, which is good enough to get the Azure to 60 in about five seconds. If you’ve got the $365,000 price of admission, you can get on on this side of the pond in late 2011.
Bentley had unveiled the Continental Flying Star at the 2010 Geneva Motor Show last month. The new project, which was the transformation of a 2-door coupe, required the modification of a number of external dimensions starting from the car’s A-pillar backwards that include the extended roof line, a wider section including the doors, new aluminum door skins, and etc
