A quarter of a million dollars over four wheels

For many, this money is not even possible to invest on a property, so much less plausible for a car. Well, for one week, I lived the life of me trotting multimillionaire behind the wheel of a Bentley Continental GT, a jewel of $ 250 000. The question everyone asks is if the car is worth the cost. Well my answer is found in my analysis below.

History of Bentley

Many know the name and the distinctive grille Bentley, but that’s about all. So for your own culture, here is a short summary of this very prestigious brand.

Walter Owen Bentley, who had worked in the design of aircraft engines during World War I, founded his company in 1919 by unveiling the first prototype Bentley. A few years later, the success of Bentley cars was unequivocal when they won four consecutive years the prestigious Le Mans race. Subsequently, with the Great Depression of the early 1930s, Bentley experienced serious financial problems and was bought by Rolls-Royce. Then in 2003, the final separation of the two brands occurred, Bentley was now under the leadership of the Volkswagen Group. The first car that was developed since this is magnificent Continental GT, which is the epitome of grand touring cars (GT).

A whole sports car!

Even since the separation between the two English companies, Bentley remains a registered representative of luxury, opulence and prestige. By cons, with the Continental GT, you can add other qualifiers such as performance, power and high technology.

This beautiful coupe is all that is modern on the road four wheel drive, twin-turbo W12 engine with automatic transmission ZF six-speed with the ability to change gears on the steering wheel, 20-inch wheels, suspension Pneumatic fully adjustable, and all other electronic gadgets usual.
Everything seems to unveil a pedigree sports car without exception, yet the Bentley is a luxury and comfort outside the norm, making it more of a GT car as its name indicates.

Treated with kid gloves

The driver of that vehicle is expected royal treatment and that is exactly what gives it the English. Choice of different hand-sewn leather, comfort seats which are also equipped with a massage system for the back, a sound system quite astounding, rare wood paneling affixed to some locations, and much more. For cons, the difference with a car of $ 100 000 is not striking, even some features usually found in an ordinary BMW and Jaguar are absent. I am referring here to the seats that are not air conditioned or charger to six CDs which is not even mounted directly on the center console but in the glove compartment. Aberration! You tell me that this is not major but for this price, we expect perfection, right? That is definitely part of the stamp of vehicle …

In terms of performance, it’s serious

Only the description of the engine transports us into another world: W12 engine 48-valve dual turbos, assembled entirely by hand, developing the tune of 552 horsepower and 479 lb.-ft. of torque at only 1600 rpm. Even if the Bentley weighs over 2300 kg, the performance is impressive. With four-wheel drive, no loss of motor function was observed initially and it reaches 100 km / h in 5.0 seconds, reached the quarter-mile in 13.1 sec and can reach a top speed of 325 km / h. As I said, it’s serious! And let me tell you that overtaking is a disconcerting speed. It is easy to reach 250 km / h in seconds without even realizing it because the car is a solid stability and sound insulation of double glazing is fantastic. It is a machine to lose his license …

The limousine UK

Sometimes our journalism is, admittedly, very difficult. So I have to complain again because I spent over a week to test drive this beautiful Bentley Flying Spur. I had the same punishment last year when I had the thankless task of evaluating the coupe version of the same vehicle, or the Continental GT. So I will avoid you describe the history of the brand as I did in my previous test. I will focus on the distinctions of this new model against the two-door version. Okay, so I heaved a great sigh and begin immediately. Not easy!

Timeless lines

It’s not a car that attracts attention with striking color and design spectacular. Everything is in the details: the big front grille typical of Bentley cars, the four circular headlights, long bonnet and the huge 20-inch wheels. In short, the Flying Spur attracts the eyes of connoisseurs and auto enthusiasts. Simply to admire the fact if a car is near prestigious enough for many.

An impressive interior volume

Like the Audi A8L or BMW 750/760Li, space that can be found at the front and rear is impressive. Access is very easy, and the clearance found there is remarkable. Regardless of the seat you choose, you’ll be ready for long hours away. Whether it’s air conditioned seats with lumbar massage system built, excellent sound system or the quiet ride thanks to a sound impressive, Bentley invites long getaways.

More than 5000 books, but also more than 500 horses

Weighing 2475kg, the Flying Spur is a behemoth. This is a mass similar to big SUVs. It should be noted that this weight is attributable to the strength of body and chassis, and the AWD system. Also, the W12 twin-turbo 552-hp is not a featherweight either.
Mated to a six-speed automatic, all this mass is propelled from 0-100km / h in only 5.2 sec. What impresses most is the pressure felt at times, even when these occur at speeds much higher than our limit in Quebec. Maximum speed of around 320km / h!

Even if it has a weight disadvantage that the theoretically handling, Bentley demonstrates the seriousness of their technology with an adjustable air suspension. When it is adjusted in sport mode, and although it is surprising what can be achieved in turn. Ultimately, you feel the car gently to evade the two axles, leaving four large 20-inch tires complain throughout the year. Still, you always feel safe with the Bentley, no matter the pace or the situation.
