Extreme Bentley
30.01.09
It has been interesting to watch the continued rise of the time-honoured Bentley automotive brand and its immense desirability to the young and nouveau rich. The attractiveness levels are about to rise another magnitude with the imminent unveiling of the Extreme Bentley, the perfect badge of success for extreme athletes and other non-conventional financial achievers. Only a promotional film and single darkened image have been released so far, along with the news the vehicle will feature Bentley’s new flexfuel powertrain, announced at the NAIAS a week or two back. Oh, and the news it will be the fastest, most powerful production car ever.
That means it will be faster than 202 mph and more powerful than 600 bhp—the figures for the current Bentley Continental GT Speed. The silhouette from the video and the single frontal image suggest it will be based on the Continental GT or Flying Spur models.
The new Bentley musclecar will have the wraps pulled off on March 3 at the 2009 International Geneva Motor Show, and will be capable of running on biofuel as part of Bentley's three-part environmental strategy.

What do people think of the Bentley Continental Flying Spur?

I want to hear some feedback on what people think of the Flying Spur. It is a four door version of the GT, it has 552 horsies under its hood, torque is outrageous, top speed of 195 MPH, handling is that of a lamborghini, ferrari, etc., and its 5500 pounds curbweight and has an MSRP of $180,000
i thinks it looks kinda ugly. i like the coupe, but i don't it in sedan. i'll rather get a mercedes s65 amg. but wait unitl the aston martin rapide comes out in 2009.

Is Bentley Continental Flying Spur the most powerful, most expensive, 4 DOOR, 4x4/AWD vehicle ever produced ?

I'm trying to gather as much information as possible for the above question because i'm planning to purchase a car that would meet the above requirements.
AT A BASE PRICE OF $170,000.00 I WOULD HAVE TO SAY PROBABLY YES.

Bentley Continental Flying Spur - Do you have to put the key in the ignition to start the vehicle?

just curious if you need to put the key in to start it or if you can just always keep it in your pocket 24/7 without use...
