Bentley Shows off the new Continental GT First Edition

Bentley has today shown off the special First Edition version of its new Continental GT.

Bentley says the Continental GT First Edition takes all of the finest features offered on the latest version of the grand tourer and brings them together to create the most luxurious package possible. It features the Mulliner Driving Specification, which adds 22-inch wheels (available in bright paint, black, hand polished or full polish finishes), drilled alloy foot pedals and jewel-finish oil and filler caps. It also includes the City Specification and Touring Specification packages, which add things like hands-free trunk opening, pedestrian warning, traffic sign recognition, city braking, adaptive cruise, a heads-up display, and night vision with an infrared camera.

The interior was the focus of this limited-edition GT and as such, it features the Bentley Rotating Display with a 12.3-inch touchscreen and diamond-in-diamond quilt stitching on the seats, door panels and rear quarter panels, (all featuring a unique contrast stitch only available with the First Edition). Customers will also get the choice of four wood dashboard veneers (Tamo Ash, Liquid Amber, Dark Stained Madrona and Dark Fiddleback Eucalyptus), and can choose from a Bentley 650W audio system, an upgraded 1500W Bang & Olufsen system and a range-topping 2200W Naim audio system. Completing the package are First Edition Union Jack ‘1’ logos throughout the interior and on the exterior.

Bentley did not provide information on pricing or availability, but if you have to ask.

2018 Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster Review

“Supercars just don’t excite me anymore.” These words, spoken to me over a month ago by another journalist, friend, and (so-called) enthusiast were echoing in my head for far too long, but they’ve finally been drowned out. Drowned out by the wail of a naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12 engine mounted in the middle of the new Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster. My friend’s point is that back in the good old days, there was a crop of supercars that captured the imagination with amazing style, sounds, performance, and more. Today, it seems like everything is capable of supercar performance, with large luxury sedans outdoing some of the best and most dedicated teams of car nuts, while former pillars of automotive excellence are suddenly pumping out family-friendly SUVs. Beyond that, another league of supercars, dubbed hypercars have cropped up with hybrid gas-electric powertrains that make magical things happen quickly, but at the cost of the acoustic drama, visual flair, and engag...

Project SportWagen: Going Stage 2 with APR

When we last left you, the humble little SportWagen was fresh from the development process with our friends at AWE Tuning, sporting a new downpipe, exhaust and intake, allowing things to breathe a bit easier. The car sounded great, but there was no getting around the fact that our wagon was still quite, well, slow. While we realize that nothing we do to the Golf SportWagen at this point will make it a race car, we still felt compelled to do something . To put it bluntly, we had a fever, and the only cure was more power. Flash forward a few hours, and we found ourselves at Waterfest, staring down APR’s palatial spread and the numerous tuned vehicles surrounding it. Earlier in the year, APR had hinted to us that their 1.8 TSI files would be quite impressive, and based on what they were able to do with the 2.0 TSI found in the new GTI and our time in their Golf R, we knew it’d be worth the wait. So with this in mind, we lined our G...

Event Report: Southern Worthersee 2015

There’s been much ado about this year’s SoWo since this past Saturday night, when Instagram, Facebook and other Social Media channels exploded with images and commentary focusing on the event’s bad eggs. But first, let’s chat a bit about the event itself. Our journey started early Thursday morning as part of the Orchid Euro/Coolwater cruise to the event. What should have taken about 12-13 hours ended up taking much more, as we stopped to help any Volkswagen that needed our assistance. And while the extended commute time wasn’t ideal, it proved to highlight the ‘no person left behind’ spirit of the Volkswagen community- arguably one of the scene’s best qualities. On Friday and Saturday, the town was flooded with enthusiasts, making this year’s event without a doubt the largest yet. Attendees came from as far as California, Mexico City, and event a few straight from the original Wörthersee in Austria, and for most it was well worth the trip. The quality o...
