The rear looks a lot like the SC430...but it looks damn nice :) And that interior? So sweet....so sweet *drooool* :p

<< Its engine is a twin-turbo version of the Audi/VW 6.0-litre W12, boosting power from 420 to 550hp and torque from 405 to 480lbft. Seems not torquey enough for a Bentley! >>




Yeah, how come the torque is not over 600 with that kind of motor?

I like the styling, except for the taillights (yes, I know they're Bentley-trademark lights, but they don't look right on the coupe). My question is why make a 'sporty' Bentley? The damn thing ways 2 tons! It's not gonna handle like a sports car!

That's quite light for a Bentley. :p And Bentleys may be "the world's fastest lorries" but they have been winning races since the 1920's, including a particularly famous incident in which a Bentley was involved in a wreck that destroyed the other car. The Bentley broke one of its wheels, limped to the pits, got a new wheel, and then went on to win the race. The author is right though, seems a bit down on torque for a Bentley.
