At the Detroit Auto Show (NAIAS 2017), Bentley presented the redesigned Bentley Continental Supersports, their most extreme Continental to date. Not only that, the new Bentley Continental Supersports is also the fastest production four-seater in the world.
George Bamford, who owns Bamford Watch Department, a company that restores high-end watches such as Rolex, has some knowledge of luxury restoration.

Is this the most prestigious Bentley ever to see the light of day?
Manchester City's young star, Raheem Sterling, became the most expensive British footballer of all time last year. Since his weekly salary is £180,000, he doesn't need to look at every pound, or rather, every ten thousand pounds, when he's wasting away. Therefore, it is logical that he came up with a different car for each day of the week to drive to training.
The Bentley Flying Spur W12 S is the fastest Bentley in history. Although the appearance says otherwise, it is not a classic four-door sedan, but a sports sedan. The heart of the steel beauty is the familiar 6-liter V12 twin-turbo petrol engine, but on steroids! With 625 hp, it leaves many supercars behind.
In a very special way, Bentley paid tribute to the colors of 2016 (rose quartz and serenity), which were chosen by the Pantone color institute.

The most exclusive, fastest and most powerful SUV on the planet, the Bentley Bentayga and the Tesla Model X P90D electric SUV were never meant to be direct competitors (after all, the Bentley is twice the price), but in the latest episode of Head2Head, they found themselves in an acceleration race ( drag race) "from light to light". We already wrote that the Tesla Model X P90D left behind Ferrari as a joke in this kind of race, so even the monstrous Bentley Bentayga had no real chance. Therefore, he was then challenged by the extremely fast Alfa Romeo 4C Spider, which was a non-series Tesla piece only...
The Bentley Bentayga is definitely an SUV-believer among sports SUVs, because it is an SUV that can only be talked about in superlatives - the most exclusive, the fastest, the most powerful, the most prestigious. With the Bentayga, a name borrowed from the spectacular peak of Roque Bentayga in the Canary Islands, Bentley definitely set a "modest" goal. But the Betayga will not remain the only one, because the British are already forging an increase due to the great interest of buyers.
At the biggest spring automotive event in Geneva, Bentley made the fans of this renowned brand drool. Namely, he revealed the study of the new generation GT coupe, which is still in the study phase, but should, like the launch date, be very close to serial production.

Bentley presented its flagship in the form of a 530-horsepower Mulsanne, whose speedometer exceeds the magical 300 km/h mark and stops five times higher. This is ensured by the handmade 6.75-liter biturbo V8, which develops a truck-load of 1,100 Nm of torque, and at the same time is a good tenth more economical than its less powerful brother.
In the world of kings, sheikhs, celebrities, managers of the largest corporations, only one can be good enough. Only one so prestigious. Only one so powerful. The Bentley Flying Spur is from another world. Yes, the fascination of the limousine.
