New Chinese Bentley Clone Likely Made Of Lead And Melamine
Rolls Royce and Bentley are engaged in a battle for über-luxury market share in China. Well, at least cars that look like they're from Rolls and Bentley. Geely GE? Meet the Huatai C4. More »

Tetsu GTR: Japanese Tuner ASI's Bentley Continental GT
Refreshed for the autumn season, this is the latest iteration of the polarizing ASI-tuned Bentley Continental GTR. Similar to the car Toyo will be showing off at SEMA, the GTR is an 800 HP monster with intimidatingly tasteless styling to match. The only thing we want this for is to lovingly crash it into a field.

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

Bentley GTZ Zagato In Geneva
Having had its way with Italian cars, Zagato's coachworks business returned its attentions to a British-German hooligan — the Bentley Continental GT. (Remember the Zagato Aston DB7? Sure you do.) What they came up with is the two-tone Bentley GTZ Zagato we first showed you last week. As is their wont, Zagato made the Bent more curvilinear, with wide arcs where its blocky haunches used to be. No doubt Zagato wants more of this kind of business, but are there enough billionaires for those kinds of shenanigans? More »

Undercover as a Bentley Customer, All Ice Sculptures All the Time
The guys at Dubspeed Driven skipped the press intro for the Bentley Continental GT Speed in Spain, opting instead for posing as one of the super-rich customers in the market for a luxury GT. We're not sure what's funnier, the gigantic winged "B" ice sculpture, the spokesmodel or the fact that they give people the Goose before sending them out with expensive autos. More »

Bentley Reveals 600-hp Continental GT Speed
It's the first bentley to hit 200 miles per hour (202 mph, to be exact) right off the shelf. It's a pretty big shelf, though, because the Bentley Speed GT is a bruiser of a car. It packs a more-than-sufficient 600 horses lolling beneath its bonnet, also making it the most powerful production Bentley ever built. The company says it offers a more "hard-edged driving experience," and the kind of agility one wouldn't expect from such a stout hooligan in a waistcoat. Click through for details.

Veyron Envy? LEW Design's Big Bang Bentley
LEW Design's motto is the "all imaginable is practicable." Teutonic homeoteleutons aside, the company's tuner Bentley Continental GT splits the difference between the Bugatti Veyron and its smaller, less-demonstrative cousin, mainly by way of custom grillwork. It also gets a 100 hp boost to 650 hp, inching the Bent ever closer to the Veyron's near quad-digit power number. Of course, top speed is still a relatively meager 205 mph, which would be fine if it didn't have all the W16's mid-200s rep to live up to. More »

Fidel Is Not Enough: Bentley Plans Lots O' New, Lightweight Rides
We wannabe upper crusty anglophile types are already busy drooling over the allure from the double-decadent Havana coupe. Now Bentley springs this on us? As the revitalizedGermanBritish marquee nears the brand-imploding 9,000 cars a year threshold, they are going to need new steel to maintain their momentum. Wait, not steel — as was dictated by sharing a chassis with brother Phaeton — Al-you-min-e-um. The new Continentals will use Audi's lightweight MLB platform, probably shedding half a ton in the process. Much more interesting (says me), is the likelihood of low volume offshoots, including a four-door drop-top, a sedanca and most wonderful of all, a shooting brake! And if Davey G. calls the latter a "hatch back," I'm sicking Daniel Craig on his ass. More »

Fastest Bentley Ever: MTM's Latest Tuning Kit for the Continental GT
We're not sure if they can turn the world on with a smile or not, but MTM knows how to heat up their German-British mates. With their latest tuning kit for the Bentley Continental GT, the MTMers created the fastest Bentley ever, with a top speed of 205 mph recorded on Italy's Nardo test track. All that speediness comes from a set of mods that bring the stock Continental's W12 up to 650 bhp, up from the standard 560 hp, by way of an elegant combination of recalibrated engine management software and a custom exhaust system. They also hacked the suspension computer to match the upclocked performance and shod the GT with 21" alloys. Zero to 60 mph is accomplished in 4.2 seconds (down from 4.8 stock). More » -

Adventures in Inebriated Nitespot Decamping With Paris Hilton and Her Greek Lover!
Woe to us for ignoring our Angeleno brother, national treasure and soon-to-be-neighbor Defamer for a few days. Paris Hilton's latest Greek God (don't make us tell the old "No matter what he says, don't turn over on your wedding night" joke), Stavros Niarchos smacked a Continental GT-load of partiers square into the back of a truck early Wednesday morning while attempting to leave LA nightspot Element. The po-po, quickly on the scene, didn't administer a sobriety test to Niarchos, instead sending the crew on their merry way with a fare-thee-well. Meanwhile, we get our asses handed to us for doing sixteen over on the way to Canter's for a sandwich in a rented Grand Prix. Like Randy Newman, we fucking love LA. [Internal] More »
