The Bentley Continental GT is a high end two plus two grand touring luxury coupe that was released in 2003. Powered by a 6.0 Liter W12 engine, this model is available in multiple version producing 552hp, 600hp, and 621hp. Torque comes in at 479lb-ft, 553lb-ft, and 590lb-ft. All of this power is sent to all four wheels leading the Continental GT to an acceleration from 0 to 60 MPH in 4.6 seconds and 3.7 seconds, depending on the model. Top speed goes from 197mph to 201 mph.
Top Car is offering a new version of their Continental GT Bullet. Back in 2009, they gave us a black-matte edition, this time they came with a gray edition with carbon fiber insertions.
The exterior package consists of bonnet with additional air intakes, radiator grille GT Speed, front bumper with set LED daytime lights, front bumper lip, tinted front and rear lights, two composite side skirts with additional air inlets, rear bumper and diffuser, rear wing, exhaust tips, black window frames, and lower side moldings.
Basically, this edition is just about the same thing as the matte black edition they presented us with last September. The only difference is the change in exterior color. Top Car is lucky that the Continental GT Bullet is already stunning or else we would have been bored with this edition before we even started writing about it.
Back in 2008, attendees of the Geneva Motor Show were strolling around the show floor, admiring all of the beautiful vehicles on display. Then, they happened to come across the Bentley Continental GTZ by Zagato. This wasn’t your typical vehicle. This was a Bentley Continental with the unique 50 and 60’s styling from the Italian design house, Zagato. Pronounced fender lines, double-bubble roof, round tail with rear combination lamp, and the hand painted pin-stripe coordinated with the interior color are just some of the beautiful stylings created on this solid coupe. Only nine of these models were going to be made and, thanks to Jameslist, we know of one that is currently on sale in Belgium.
This particular green Bentley Continental GTZ Zagato is one of only two in existence today. It has seen only one owner and has been driven approximately 880 miles. The Bentley Continental GTZ Zagato has a 6.0 liter V12 engine that produces 610 Bhp and 750 Nm of torque mated to an automatic 6 speed transmission. A true collector’s item, the only other one we have heard about is the first Bentley Continental GTZ Zagato that was sold on none other than Jameslist for a whopping $1.7 million back in 2009. That should give us some sort of clue as to how much this Bentley will run if anyone with enough money in the bank is interested in purchasing this elegant neo-classical coupe.
The Russians are at it again and there seems to be no end in sight as to how over-the-top these guys can get when turning luxury cars into ridiculous four-door eye sores.
If you’ve the foggiest idea what we’re talking about, then we dare you to look at what they did to this Bentley Continental GT – or what used to be one. The work was done by – surprise, surprise – Russian tuners TopCar and Dartz, who collaborated on a project they have so affectionately called, the CA$H.CAMO Bentley Continental GT.
That’s no joke; they spelled ‘Cash’ with a ‘$’ sign instead of an ‘S’. Only the Russians, ladies and gentlemen!
And, by the way, we haven’t gotten to the juiciest part yet. Take a good look at the car and you’ll notice that it’s been wrapped using Kevlar vinyl that uses a camouflage color and combines it with a picture of a € 500 banknote. We wish we were joking on that last note but, unfortunately, we’re not. Wait, there’s more.
Not content with just looking like a banknote, both TopCar and Dartz even went as far as having the car’s surface feel like – wait for it – a banknote! If for nothing else, this CA$H.CAMO Bentley Continental GT will always remind you of the money you’re wasting when you but this piece of work.
But just to entice a little bit more, should you end up buying one of these cars, the tuners will throw in a bottle of RussoBaltique Vodka so you can probably drink your sorrows away after realizing you just made the worst purchase of your life.
Whatever the case may be, we certainly can’t fault the Russians for thinking so far out of the box, it was probably already thrown out to see. We just wish that they’d put their novelty thinking to good use and make something that wouldn’t make our eyes bleed.
Don’t think that’s possible? Look at that priceless ride again.
Yes, Russians are an eclectic group, to say the least. That we already know. What we still find hard to believe though, or at least hard to come to grips with is how far these Russians are going to go to become completely and legitimately off-the-rocker.
When we featured that Bentley Continental GT that was completely dressed from end to end in crocodile leather and told you that it came from the Motherland, not a lot of people were totally surprised by it. After all, this Bentley Suitcase Croco, which was designed by a Russian fashion house, is only the latest example of the abundance of eccentricity in that country.
Now, we discovered the official teaser video of the one-of-a-kind Bentley, which will make its debut somewhere in the near future. Watch the video and if you pay more attention, you’ll notice that there’s also something there that should catch your collective attention that is, if you’re a straight-on-the-cup man with a fascination for rear ends.
After intense preparations, Bentley is finally set to unveil a facelift version for the Continental GT at the Paris Auto Show in October. The exterior design of the Continental GT is inspired by the company’s two newest models: the Mulsanne and the Supersport.
Among the modifications that will come with the facelift version of the Continental GT includes a modified front end with a more upright grille, a wider air intake, Mulsanne-inspired LED headlights with integrated headlamp washers, chrome insertions along the bottom of the doors and new seven-spoke alloy wheels.
Under its hood, the Continental GT will come with a W12 engine capable of running on E85 bioethanol, as Bentley recently announced.
