[See image gallery at www.vwvortex.com]

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.

Review: Saying Goodbye to the CC V6

For all its size and its global reach, Volkswagen is still, in many ways, a deeply human company. There was, for instance, the Bugatti Veyron an ego project if ever there was one. Then the purchase of Ducati, a move most called folly. And then there was the Phaeton, the Volkswagen that most folks can’t afford. Not only were these moves all strange, I’m sure that they made VW’s accountants furious. None of them made good business sense, but they were all deeply interesting and they all are evidence of the heart that beats at the center of VW. Among these follies is the CC, a car that everyone agrees is rakishly handsome, but that no one really wanted to buy. The car couldn’t last, but the world is brighter for its having been in it. With the approach debut of the Arteon, it seems like a good time to look back on its sadly departing predecessor. The version I drove, because I live in Canada, is a V6 Wolfsburg Edition, which apparently isn’t available in the States. Nor is the V6, not as...

More 3.0-Liter TDI Settlement Details Expected by January 31

Volkswagen and the TDI Plaintiff’s Steering Committee were in court today for another status conference following the agreement in principal reached earlier this week. Little new information was given at the conference held before Judge Charles Breyer today, but the court ordered the parties to develop a formal settlement agreement, class action notices, and a class notice plan by January 31, 2017. For now, though, owners still don’t know how much to expect in compensation. Elizabeth Cabraser, lead Counsel for the Plaintiff’s Steering Committee reaffirmed in a statement today that the compensation would be “substantial.” The potential cost to Volkswagen is widely reported to exceed $1 billion, though, with an additional $225 million going into an environmental trust to help offset excess emissions. Buy back offers are still only expected for the oldest 20,000 of the roughly 80,000 VW Group vehicles sold in America with the 3.0-liter TDI engine. Those vehicles are mostly SUVs, like ...
