Bentley Continental GT Craves Death After Being Wronged By Paris Hilton

Paris Hilton treats herself to a grotesque Christmas present by slathering a Continental GT in pink livery and oversized wheels courtesy of West Coast Customs. Follow us into the gaping maw of obsessive opulence.

As another piece to add to her growing legion of shopping accessories, this unfortunate Bentley GT has suffered the ultimate fate: Being coated in light pink paint and then being operated by Paris Hilton. May the jaws of the crusher bring its suffering to a quick end after she undoubtedly wraps it around an errant light post or wandering paparazzi.

Bentley Driver Murdered In Mysterious Los Angeles Highway Shooting

Matt Hardigree — Tue, 16 Dec 2008 14:30:00 EST

Jose Luis Macias was driving through Los Angeles last Friday in his Bentley Continental GT when someone fired multiple bullets into the car, killing him and shutting down Highway 101. The motive remains a mystery.

So far, police have been able to learn little about the driver of the $100K+ Bentley or understand why someone would want to kill him. Photos of the car show nearly a dozen holes caused by a shooting at close range. The Bentley crashed into the median after the barrage of bullets. He was pulled from the vehicle and taken to a local hospital where he died four days later.

Police had to shut down the busy freeway causing more than eight hours of traffic. thanks to everyone who sent in tips

According to Reuters, a truck carrying a Bentley GT back to Crewe from the Nurburgring was intercepted Tuesday attempting to enter the UK. Sensors at the border detected excess carbon dioxide being emitted from the cargo box, alerting British border agents who opened the truck and found four illegal Iraqi immigrants sitting in the luxury car. Our question? What lap times did the Bentley pull at the 'Ring? (Hat tip to Van Sarockin!) [Reuters]

ASI Tetsu-Tuned Continental GTR Makes Us Feel Like Taking A Shower

Ben Wojdyla — Thu, 05 Jun 2008 09:40:00 EDT

We've always had a love/hate relationship with the Bentley Continental GT. On the one hand, it's a staggeringly powerful freight train of a car that will do everything but powder your behind (and not catch on fire). On the other hand, it just doesn't have the character of a Bentley; it seems more noveau riche than old-world land-rocket. What better way to address that issue than for ASI Tetsu to add gaudy gold paint, flowery hood graphics, a big spoiler on the trunk and a body kit? Oh and another 248 HP for a grand total of 800. Damn you fates, why must you make this Bentley such a poisoned pill?
