The CA$H.CAMO Bentley Continental GT by TopCar and Dartz
 
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. Video: Teaser video of Croc leather Bentley Continental GT
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. Bentley Continental GT facelift to be revealed at Paris Auto Show
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. ONYX Bentley Continental Platinium GTO
After customizing a few high end sport utility vehicles the folks over at Onyx Concept have turned their tuning efforts over towards the finer things in life, like a high performance top of the line luxury coupe. Dubbed the Bentley Continental Platinium GTO by the ONYX crew, this 200 MPH tuner car features a reworked aero package that consists of a revised front bumper with carbon fiber inserts, strips of LED driving lights and even more of the lightweight wavy stuff for the front splitter, side skirts and rear diffuser. Meanwhile the wide body flared and vented fenders frame a set of staggered 22 inch matte black mesh wheels exquisitely. Not ones to be all show and no go, ONYX has tuned the standard 550 HP twin turbocharged W12 to generate a total of 640 HP. Although they aren’t letting us in on exactly how the extra grunt is getting under the hood, we are confident that they will be able to exceed their target output without even breaking a sweat. Press release after the jump. Full story Carrozzeria Touring Superleggera to unveil Bentley based model in Geneva
The Italian specialty coach builder Carrozzeria Touring Superleggera has announced that they will be bringing a very special vehicle to the 2010 Geneva Motor Show in March. Initial details suggest that the Superleggera special will be based on the top of the line Bentley Continental, this would be fitting considering the design house’s statement that the Geneva show car will be a "fascinating new coach built Bentley, faithful to its long tradition of Italian coach building." It still isn’t clear as to which version of the factory tuned Bentley Continental the Carrozzeria will be bringing to Geneva, whether it will be a simple drop top GTC or the high performance GTC Speed or even a very exclusive hand built version of the even more powerful GTC Supersports. Whatever it may be, stay tuned to Top Speed because we will get back to you soon with new details as soon as we get them! Silver-decked Bentley Continental GT spotted in London
As if seeing this Bentley Continental GT parked on the streets of London isn’t bad enough, we have to feel bad for anyone who comes across this car while driving in broad daylight. It’s not so much that the Continental GT is a stomach-churning car. On the contrary, there aren’t a lot of luxury rides in this world that we’d prefer over this one. But to have it re-tooled in silver is just flat out wrong. The color is bad on its own, but can you just imagine how many accidents this car might cause when sunlight bounces off of it. Bentley Continental GT by Vorsteiner
British car tuned by Americans. Is not everyday you get the chance to see this! But it happened, and to a pretty cool car! Meaning a Bentley Continental GT.

But before we reveal who the seller is, we have to warn you that if you ever double-cross this dude, then prepared to get your face smashed in. That’s right; WWE wrestler Dave Batista – or as he is more popularly called, Batista (didn’t strain any muscles thinking of a wrestling name, did he?) – is putting up his Bentley and Land Rover on eBay. The Continental Speed GT has had a few minor tunings done on it, including custom wheels, and a grille kit while the Land Rover also has its custom rims, plus some detailed trim work and a blaster of a sound system out on the trunk. You can buy the Bentley for $172,999 or you can go through the tedious job of having to bid for it. Meanwhile, the Land Rover sells for ‘just’ $75,000. Like we said, we urge you to have a little more caution because you never know, Batista just might throw in a little Batista Bomb just for kicks.
