2012 Bentley Continental GT

Somewhere around the world, floating amid a sea of crystal-clear water, is a Hatteras 100 Motor Yacht. It is hardly an ordinary boat.

Built for long passages, with a sturdy sea-keeping fiberglass hull, the Hatteras offers unparalleled engineering, meticulous craftsmanship and immense power. Its staterooms feature exquisite wood cabinetry, double bullnose moldings, and polished natural stone countertops. The main salon is equipped with plasma video screens and multi-channel surround sound for entertainment, while the pilot house features state-of-the art digital electronics for monitoring systems and navigation. And under the stern deck, there are twin 16-cylinder turbo diesel powerplants generating 2,400 horsepower each. It's enough propulsion to move the 270,000-pound yacht through the water at speeds approaching 30 mph.

On open water, the 100-foot Hatteras is the ultimate expression of luxury and sport unequalled in its ability to project wealth and prestige. However, thirty percent of the world is land - with many a mile of paved road. All of which begs the question: What does an uncompromising Hatteras owner motor about in when they come ashore?

They drive their new Bentley Continental GT, of course. 

The world was first introduced to the Bentley Continental GT in 2003. A fresh design, the two-door shared its platform with the Volkswagen Phaeton, as well as a twin-turbocharged variant of VW's compact W12. At the time (circa 2003), Bentley boasted that its new luxury "gran turismo" coupe would open up a whole new market segment. And they were right – compared to the exotic low-slung sports cars of the era, the fresh Continental GT was a proper gentleman's car, with an upright seating position and amenities on par with the company's other flagship models. The proclamation carried some weight, as the only other vehicle truly competing in the segment at the time was the Mercedes-Benz CL-Class, a model priced about $40,000 less.

Eight years later, the Continental GT has proven itself to be a massive success. While most automakers didn't rush to concoct their own $160,000 coupes in its wake, well-heeled customers gobbled the new Bentley two-door up so quickly that the factory in Crewe was unable to keep up with demand (Bentley sold 700 Continental GT coupes in the U.S. in 2004 - after selling only 400 Bentleys in total the previous year). To date, nearly 8,000 GT coupes have been sold, and a whole range of Continental sedans and dropheads has been spawned from the coupe, selling thousands more.



Last November, our man Paukert flew all the way to Oman to take a first drive in the 2011 Bentley Continental GT. We had good reason to make the voyage, as the British automaker had promised us a significantly updated four-passenger coupe. While the platform and engine remained essentially unchanged, there was all-new sheetmetal, new front and rear fascias, new interior and new technology throughout. The Middle East afforded us an exotic locale to test the Bentley, with equally spectacular scenery, but its fresh infrastructure and near-pristine roads were hardly a real-world testing ground.

Six months later and transported a full 8,450 miles around the globe, the very same vehicle we drove in Muscat was staring at us in Los Angeles - affording us an opportunity to run it on our familiar local roads.

A spotter's guide pointing out the differences between the "old" and "new" Continental GT would list the headlights as its first clue. In addition to their new staggered size, the freshened face wears "jeweled" design, with integrated LED running lamps circling each lens. A more careful look at the front facade reveals that the awkward horizontal seam bisecting the headlights in the predecessor (between the urethane lower bumper and sheetmetal above) is now gone - credit the new "Super Formed" aluminum bodywork that allows the sharply creased fenders to envelope the headlights in lightweight alloy. At the side, the greenhouse is shorter (the doors are taller) and there are new mirrors. At the rear, the tail lamps and exhaust outlets have both been flattened and the reverse lights have been lowered cleanly into the bottom fascia. The overall look is classy, strong and muscular. It is decidedly more masculine.



The interior, on the other hand, is now softer and more inviting. The primary controls, instrumentation and dash vents have not moved, but they are now more cleanly integrated into the rich woods and soft hides around them. Most now wear bright metal bezels. A new eight-inch touchscreen display powered by VW-sourced architecture highlights the center console (it couldn't come soon enough – the outgoing unit was one of the most dated facets of the old car). The steering wheel is freshened and the pedals resculpted. There's even significant news with the seats. Last year's behemoths have been replaced with thinner and lighter "cobra-design" seats, with the seat belt anchors affixed to the chassis instead of the seats.

Our revisited test vehicle wore a thick layer of hand-applied Orange Flame paint over Imperial Blue leather (with contrasting stitching and embroidering in orange thread). The point of entry for a 2012 model is $189,900, but with the amount of options and Bentley's in-house bespokery, Mulliner, few will ever leave Crewe's gates at such a price. The major options on our coupe included the Naim for Bentley Premium Audio System with CD changer ($7,015), Convenience Spec Package with adaptive cruise control, cordless mobile handset, rear view camera and valet key ($4,140), massaging and ventilating seats ($820), removable veneered sunglasses case ($550) and deep-pile floor mats ($380). Our grand total? $203,940 - only slightly more than the standard electronics allowance for outfitting just the pilothouse of the Hatteras 100 Motor Yacht. (Check out the dashboard in the Short Cuts video below, with our apologies for citing the incorrect model year).

The cabin of any late-model Bentley, like the cabin of a $10 million custom yacht, is a wonderful place to watch the surface of the earth slip by. The interior is upholstered with yards of wonderful soft-touch leather, and only the finest wood veneers and polished cool-touch metals are visible. All controls and switchgear operate with a solid feel, and everything just feels rich. The two new 'Cobra' front seats are comfortable, supportive and chock full of adjustability. In addition to variable seat heating, cooling, lumbar and massage settings, the cushions under the thigh unroll to present a seamless extension of the bottom part of the seat cushion. Regardless of stature, there is generous head, shoulder and leg room for both front passengers. And, thanks to a lack of B-pillars, outward visibility isn't too bad, with special compliments owed to the oversized exterior mirrors.

The story isn't as dandy for those occupying the two rear seats, sadly. Even though the appointments are every bit as opulent as those up front (minus the massage and cooling functions), there remains little room for human anatomy below the knee. Unless fellow passengers share the bulk of their DNA with Flat Stanley or the front seats are moved far forward, nobody will enjoy sitting back there for long.

But forget about those rear seats – you won't be sitting back there, anyway. Open the hood. Shoehorned up front is the familiar twin-turbocharged 6.0-liter W12. With keyfob in pocket, it starts at the push of a console-mounted button and immediately settles down to a muted growl. Carried forward from last year but massaged for 2012, the engine gains a bit of power compared to its predecessor. This year's output is 567 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque - would seem to be enough power to pull ships through the Panama Canal Locks. The Conti's standard transmission is a ZF-sourced six-speed automatic, also tweaked for the new model year to deliver quicker shift responses and double-downshift capability to improve passing times. All-wheel drive returns, but the torque split has been changed from 50:50 (front-to-rear) to 40:60 for better feel and more rear-wheel drive mannerisms.

Even with a curb weight of 5,115 pounds (143 pounds less than last year's model), the Bentley Continental GT seriously scoots when prodded. Stomping the accelerator pedal to the floor instantly awakens each and every horse, and the two-door leaps forward with a pounce that belies its mass (0-60 is about 4.4 seconds and this Bentley doesn't run out of steam until nearly 200 mph). Despite the firepower under the hood, the noise emanating from the powertrain is muted and unique (it reminded us of the signature sound the wing-mounted engines of the old Lockheed L-1011 "TriStar" would make under take-off power). We wanted, and expected, more audible anger from the powertrain, but we'll have to wait for the inevitable Supersports variant.

While a sub-five second sprint to 60 mph is commendable, don't get the impression it was entirely engaging in the process. All-wheel drive prevented any wheelspin and sapped some of the fun in the process, and there was a tiny bit of lag off the line (maybe just to break inertia?). We don't need to remind everyone that two-and-a-half tons is a lot of car. Point-and-shoot in traffic took anticipation, but once the engine got steam, everyone was wise to get out of our way. Thankfully, the massive disc brakes were more than up to the task of deceleration.

Bentley's Continuous Damping Control (CDC) air suspension adjusts itself several hundred times per second, giving the coupe multiple personalities. The system lowers the car at higher speeds to improve stability and can be manually activated to raise the vehicle to clear steep driveways. While it works automatically, suspension damping may also be customized via settings on the touchscreen. Acceleration and braking aside, when it comes to ride quality, mass is the big coupe's best friend. Nothing short of a giant sinkhole seemed capable of diverting the trajectory of the moving Continental GT.



Purely out of curiosity, we took the big coupe up one of our favorite canyon roads for some calisthenics. It was surprisingly capable, and the power and grip are there (optional P275/35ZR21 Pirelli P-Zeros at all four corners), but it really isn't entertaining to chase lightweight sports cars in something so massive. The Bentley will carve a canyon every bit as well as the Hatteras 100 Motor Yacht will pull a water skier, but neither is really the proper tool for the job.

Much greener pastures were found on California's open thoroughfares, when our two-door was able to stretch its legs and settle in for the cruise. The ride was spectacular, with whisper-quiet noise level in the cabin. Thick, double-pane laminated side glass and generous sound-deadening materials ensured that we were isolated from all reality outside – the glass goes some way to explain why one doesn't hear more from the powertrain. We piloted the Bentley through an hour of horrendous traffic in the LA Basin's dreaded Sepulveda Pass (under major construction), and emerged more relaxed and rested than when we had departed. That's impressive.



Bentley Continental GTs, like Hatteras Motor Yachts, cannot be measured with a standard yardstick. In the real world, the Bentley sucks at fast-food windows (maneuvering a wide car through tight lanes becomes a challenge), it makes a lousy grocery transport (milk cartons roll unrestricted around the smallish trunk), it isn't competent with carpools (children have a difficult time opening and shutting its massive doors), it attracts unwanted attention in Walmart parking lots (far too many strangers asking questions about the car) and it binges on premium unleaded fuel (one more gallon was consumed while you read this paragraph).

But, who are we really kidding?

Bentley owners don't drive-through Taco Bell, shop for groceries or run soccer carpools - that's what personal chefs, housekeepers and nannies are for. They let valets open heavy oversize car doors, park in tight spaces and let others fill the fuel tank. And, for the record, there is no such thing as, "too much attention."



Comparing the Bentley Continental GT to a Hatteras 100 Motor Yacht isn't much of a stretch. Both serve a very rarefied segment of the market, both offer immense power for their class, both deliver an underlying sporty demeanor and both are individually customized to exactly what the buyer desires - the more bespoke, the better.

Bentley is the first to admit that most of its customers have multiple parking spaces in their garages with other high-end vehicles from Porsche, Aston Martin, Mercedes-Benz, Ferrari and Rolls-Royce all rubbing fenders. Not burdened with having to find one vehicle for all occasions, this discerning class of affluent owners seeks much more than mere transportation. An automobile must be elegant, aesthetically appealing, exude prestige and it must quench ego. Against those measurements, there is no denying that the freshened 2012 Bentley Continental GT is up for a coveted space in the garages of the wealthy, and with its breadth of talents, we wouldn't be surprised if the Conti is the car they drive to the office more days than not.

Top 10 List of Best Getaway Vehicles for Pulling a Heist

Porsche Cayenne Turbo.

A real heist is a job that usually requires the teamwork of a few people . That means you need more seats than you find in a Caterham. But no matter what the dirt-ball salesman tells you, a minivan is not the way to go. Just because the new Sienna is "sport-tuned" doesn't mean it's "outrun-crown-vics-tuned." What you want is a 2011 Porsche Cayenne Turbo.
The new Cayenne is 400lbs lighter than the outgoing model, so it's nimble enough to dodge bullets and make last-second directional changes, a key element to escaping roadblocks. It seats 5 so you won't be short handed, with enough trunk space in the back to hold your loot and gear. It's also a competent off-roader, and if you've ever watched a police-chase on TV, you know these things can go off the highway at any time. As for the slew of wailling Crown Vics? They'll have a hard time keeping up with 500hp and 516 lb-ft of torque. I don't care what state you're in, no cop car can hang with the Cayenne's 4.4s 0-60 time, and its top speed of 172mph will leave any cop in the dust.

Chevy Silverado 2500HD

The Cayenne is a great mid-size vehicle, good for the smaller bank job, or maybe some precieous jewels. But say you have a bigger payload than that. In Dark Knight The Joker used a school bus to haul off duffel bags full of money. It worked fine, but it's not the quickest vehicle out there. We'd want something faster, but still capable of taking every last dollar. Enter the Chevy Silverado 2500HD Duramax. The crew cab means you can take all your cronies with you, and the bed in the back can hold more money than MC Hammer could spend. Plus, the tailgate provides great cover for the inevitable highway shootout.
Jumping from a super-SUV like the Cayenne to a work-horse truck may seem like a step down in getaway power; it's not. In stock form the 6.6L Diesel engine makes a moderate 360hp, but turns the planet with 650 ft-lb of torque. But spend an extra $1,500 and your truck can have over 500hp and almost 1000 ft-lb of unstoppable twist. Not only will this truck outrun any boys in blue, should they be silly enough to setup a road block the 5,500lb curb weight and massive torque means you're going through that road block like tissue paper.

Ford Focus RS

Right now times are tough, and jobs are hard to come by, so they say you should take any job you can get. Maybe you're the kind of criminal who prefers to rob banks close to an open Nevada highway, making the escape as easy as possible. Get on highway, mash gas, celebrate once you hit Utah. But what if those jobs aren't coming in? What if you get hired to steal some art from Paris' most famous art gallery, the Louvre. Even the Cayenne would feel big on those little cobblestone streets. There's a reason the cars you see in Europe are tiny; the streets are tiny.

BRABUS Mercedes Benz Viano

Forget the Ford Econoline that's used in every bank robbery. This is a van BRABUS-style. They call it a "mobile multimedia office with sports car performance." If you need an evil lair but don't want to be tied down to one location, this might be the solution. With boardroom seating and a few flat-screens, this van has everything you need for your Mission Impossible-style planning montage.

As far as the mobility portion, how does a 5.0 Liter V8 with 420hp/458 lb-ft of torque sound? Cop cars aren't fast, but they're faster than the classic Ford rotor-rooter mobile. You don't have to worry about that with the Viano. With a top speed of 152mph, BRABUS-tuned suspension and chassis upgrades, and even optional bullet proof panels, it has everything you need to steal an entire art collection, or a safe full of gold bars a la The Italian Job.

1956 Chevy Nomad

It's a muscle car and a station wagon. There's seating for 5 or 6, with a huge cargo area in the back. Throw in a healthy V8 motor and you have more than enough grunt to outrun the most modern cop cars. No mamby pamby dent-resistent panels here, this former grocery-getter has more steel than the Statue of Liberty and weighs almost as much. It's like a depleted uranium missile with wheels bolted to it.

It also has something many of today's cars don't; simplicity. Sure the RS6 Avant is faster and handles better. But what happens when the right fender gets bashed in and knocks some silly sensor loose that monitors the mood of the distributor cap? Maybe just warning lights, or maybe a system shut-down. Either way the more complicated something is, the more prone to failure (*cough* banking system). The Nomad is so simple it didn't even come with seat belts. Four wheels and a basic V8 up front mean you can bash your way out of a jam, and back at the hideout you can have "Tank" or "Motor" - whatever you call the henchman who always seems to have a welder - fix it.

Conquest Knight XV

In some heists everything goes according to plan; the guard falls asleep on cue, you cut the right alarm wire, and the only 9-1-1 call that night is some crazy, fat imbecile complaining that Burger King is out of chicken nuggets. Conquest's battle-fortified beast is powered by a 6.8L V-10 engine that makes 400hp and 500 lb-ft of torque. Bolted to a Ford Super Duty frame the Knight XV has bullet-proof body panels and windows, ballistic run-flat tires and a 40 gallon fuel tank. It's like a combat-ready limosine. If Arnold lived in Baghdad, this is what he'd drive. Seasoned professionals will appreciate its large cargo area and multimedia-equipped passenger compartment. Newbies will be very grateful of the armor because it means they can make all the mistakes they want and still get away with the loot. The price for the Conquest Knight XV is $310,000, so you might need to rob a few banks just to buy it. But hey, it's all lined with Alcantara, so it's worth it.

Sportec Audi RS6

If you are reading this post and have never seen the movie Ronin, when you reach the end of this sentence I want you to fold your laptop, drive to a video store and rent it. Now that we've all seen the movie, we're probably all in agreement that even on mute Ronin would be a good movie, simply because of the car chases. They are some of the best and longest I have ever seen. A main star of this movie is the Audi S8. It's for that reason that we think the new Audi RS6 by Sportec would make for a phenomenal getaway/transport vehicle.

Buckshot Racing X2R

It's hard to explain exactly what is the Buckshot Racing X2R. It's built by a company that specializes in sand rails, but it has the body of a supercar, and the engine from a Texas Mile contender. Essentially, it's a baja racer with the look and performance of a hyper car. Want specifics? It has a 427 cu. in. Chevy motor which, when the turbos are running at 22psi, puts out 1400hp. This car is faster on sand than most cars are on tarmac. And because it has shocks taller than many trees, few obstacles can stop it.

ABT Sportsline Audi Q7 "AS7"

So far we've shown you some wild vehicles to aid in your "job." But what if you're the automotive shopping equivalent of Goldilocks; the Knight XV is too hardcore, the X2R is too exposed and the RS6 doesn't have enough seats. Well, German tuner ABT Sportline has just the thing for you. Called the ABT Sportline AS7, it's an Audi Q7 that has had it's 3.0 liter turbo-diesel "improved." Improved in the same way that an AK-47 is an "improvement" over the bow-and-arrow.Originally the V6 clanked out 221hp and 406ft lbs from the torquey elixir we call diesel. But after ABT was done, the Q7 holds an impressive 500hp and monstrous 737 lb-ft of torque. The 2.6 ton SUV can now reach 60mph in only 5.3 seconds. It also has 3 rows of seating, in case you need a small army. It's strong enough to handle any condition, and has plenty of clearance if the escape route happens to include a dirt road. There, happy?

SMS Dodge Challenger 570

The term "robbery" is pretty wide. You can go into a 7-11 and threaten the clerk with a banana in your pocket (no joke), you can rapel down a ventilation shaft a la Mission Impossible or you can just grab a gun the size of small man, put on a bunch of black clothes, and do a good ol' fashioned stick-'em-up at a bank. With all the identity theft and computer hacking, I feel like that type of heist is going out of style. To do a job like that, you should have a car with some nostalgia and some balls.
Enter the SMS Dodge Challenger 570, from Steve Millen Supercars. It's an old-school muscle car, but with modern reliability and handling. The supercharged engine gives you 500hp and enough torque to practically tear the door off a bank vault. In the movie Bullitt the bad guys were running in a purple Challenger, but they couldn't shake Steve McQueen in his GT350. Maybe if they're Challenger had had the 570's SMS suspension and brake upgrades, they'd have had a chance.

The width remains unchanged at 1,949 mm (6.39 ft); the height has increased by 2 mm (0.08 in) to 1,462 mm (4.8 ft). Audi’s new top model is both longer and wider than its main long-wheelbase competitors.

Among the high-end technologies characterized on the 2011 A8 model line are the optional LED headlight units (standard on the 2011 A8 L W12 quattro) with all lighting operate performed by LEDs. With this bright, high-efficiency light, Audi opens a new chapter in the history of automobile lighting technology.2011 A8 comes with a Bose surround-sound system standard, a 1400-watt, 19-speaker Bang & Olufsen system is optional for the ultimate in power and clarity.

The 2011 A8 and 2011 A8 L will go on sale in the U.S. this fall, powered by a 372-bhp 4.2-liter V-8 (the 2011 A8 L 4.2 is actually the core model in the U.S. market). But next spring (2011), the 2011 A8 L will be available with an improved version of Audi’s W-12. FSI direct fuel injection and a bump to 6.3 liters (from 6.0) bring the W-12 to 500 bhp (up from the previous engine’s 450) and 461 lb.-ft. of torque (up from 428). Yet Audi claims the new engine achieves a 12 percent reduction in fuel consumption, despite the extra power. All 2011 A8s—V-8, W-12 and both wheelbases—come standard with Quattro all-wheel drive. The W-12, though, will only be available in long-wheelbase form (as with the last generation), and in limited volume in the U.S.

2011 xylo mahindra mini specs and features

Mahindra is building a smaller version of the Xylo called as "mini xylo" can be seen from these expensive spy pictures. The mini Xylo which is experience hot weather testing in Rajasthan will be less than four-metres in length and will come with a diesel engine under 1.5-litres to certify as a ‘small car’ to help of a firm 12 percent saving in excise duty.

The car will be a tad smaller than its sibling Xylo and will be powered by an engine under 1.5L capacity to qualify for the tax redemption given to cars under 4 metres.ini Xylo will be a five-seater MPV, it will have only two rows of seats.he mini Xylo is expected to be competitively priced around the Rs. 5 lakh mark. The mini Xylo has the potential to crack open a completely new segment in the Indian market when it is launched sometime in 2011.

Mahindra is expected to unleash this mini MPV somewhere in the year 2011 and we are sure the pricing will be competitive and lucrative enough to lure the customers waiting to buy themselves a mini passenger carrier. Currently Rio from the Premier motors is the only option available for a MPV under sub 4 meters category, so it's obvious that this Mini Xylo will go on loggerhead with the same when it's unleashed onto the Indian roads.
