Preview: Bentley Continental GT3-R

Until very recently, it’d been quite a while since a factory-entered Bentley had taken the victory in a top tier racing event in the UK. Eighty four years, to be exact. But when a Continental GT3 secured the top spot in the second round of the Blancpain Endurance Series at Silverstone, it was certainly cause for celebration. For Bentley, that meant taking this winning formula to the street in the form of a hardcore, limited edition road-going version of the GT3 race car, dubbed the Continental GT3-R, which is now the fastest accelerating Bentley ever made for the street.

First Look: 2013 Bentley Continental GT V8

Following through on a promise made in 2008, Bentley has just unveiled a Continental that is 40 percent more efficient than any that’s come before. The biturbocharged, 4.0-liter V-8 produces 500 horsepower and 487 pound-feet of torque, allowing the GT V8 to hit 60 miles per hour in 4.6 seconds. Top speed is 188 miles per hour. Power is sent to all four wheels (as is Conti GT custom) through a new, eight-speed automatic transmission.

First Look: 2011 Bentley Mulsanne

When it comes to Bentleys, new models are a big deal, simply because the automaker’s portfolio is so exclusive. The aging Arnage has been with us for quite some time now, and now the new Grand Bentley, the 2011 Mulsanne, has been revealed. The official debut took place at this past weekend’s Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, but the full details of the Mulsanne will not be released until next month’s Frankfurt Motor Show.
