Comments on: Bentley Continental GT ‘Series 51′ [Live image update] http://www.leftlanenews.com/bentley-continental-series-51.html Car news, reviews, and specs for the auto-industry Fri, 10 Feb 2012 18:41:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: n2k http://www.leftlanenews.com/bentley-continental-series-51.html#comment-486746 n2k Mon, 21 Sep 2009 11:24:01 +0000 http://www.leftlanenews.com/?p=21097#comment-486746 i don't get you guys who argue for hours over whether you should get the Aston or the Bentley or the roller: Guys do the numbers: if you can make delivery on a $200k Bentley then chances are you can go through all 3 in due course: its not a point of contention. If you have to calculate the numbers in order to make delivery on an exotic, or in fact any luxury European car then you have no place buying one. Next off, 500hp is 500hp, whether its a V-Dub engine or a Ferrari: the laws of physics are the same. If a Bentley handles smooth and lots away a chunk of torque everytime i push the start key im not going to care if it was made in a vdub factory. Another thing: all the arguments over the Ferrari/Bentley/Porsche residuals: Who cares!!! youre buying a $200k car! youre cheque book should be firm enough to handle the deficit. i don’t get you guys who argue for hours over whether you should get the Aston or the Bentley or the roller: Guys do the numbers: if you can make delivery on a $200k Bentley then chances are you can go through all 3 in due course: its not a point of contention.

From the side it definitely resembles the Blunderbird. At least now they'll have to call both of us idiots!

Probably through the nose. Like all the Bugatti Veyron's with these unique colours/names that people must have 'cause they're different, but at what price? This is just a scheme by Bentley to make a new car, without making a new car to increase sales..... I would rather take a 'basic' Bentley to an aftermarket place/tuner into get it done in exactly the way I wanted, because I'd obviously had the money if I could buy the car......
