The 2018 Bentley Continental GT

Bentley's Ultimate Attack On Aston Martin

 

(The concept car the production car is based on. I couldn't put more pictures up because of a lack of pictures and copyrights.)

     For those who have been anxiously waiting for Bentley to make that EXP10 Speed 6 concept but thought it wasn't going to make it you'd be wrong...sort of. What Bentley wants to do is create a car somewhat based on that very concept called the 2018 Continental GT, as well as with some body styling from Porsche. This is scary as some British car purists would either cringe or grit their teeth at the thought of heavy German influence in a British car, especially a Bentley. But we need to remember it's the Germans who provide the excellent reliability for Bentleys and other British cars like Rolls Royces. Anyways let's talk about this ridiculously awesome looking British/German machine.

     The 2018 Bentley Continental GT is a half British, half German luxury sports car coupe and grand tourer equipped with what will likely be a 4 liter twin-turbo V-8 that delivers an unknown amount of horsepower. This is because only the people at Bentley and maybe even Porsche know if the engine had been tweaked to deliver more or less horsepower. What is known is that the top speed of the 2018 Bentley Continental GT is 195mph. Not bad. The Bentley can reach 60 mph in 4.2 seconds. The engine is coupled to a possible 6-speed manual with a stick shift. Pictures you can find throughout the Internet may hint at this possibility.

     Little to no information exists on what the Continental GT will use for it's exterior construction but what little is known about the interior says that the 2018 Continental GT will have a few differences from the former Continental GT. Inside the steering wheel has three spokes, a full digital gauge cluster, a two-tier element on the dash, a complete digital gauge cluster, and a possible Tesla Model S-inspired central display screen. The 2018 Continental GT will however share the quilted leather seats and door panels, and a similar double-brow instrument panel.

     I almost forgot to mention that the Bentley will ride on a shortened version of Porsche's MSB platform that is already being created for the second-generation Porsche Panamera. 

     The cost of the 2018 Bentley Continental GT is likely to be slightly more expensive than its father but remain under $200,000 for the standard GT V-8 S coupe. 

     I have to say that I think this is one of the best examples of British and German cooperation.

The 2016 W Motors Fenyr Supersport

W Motors' Slightly More Affordable Sequel To The Lykan

 

(I apologize for the lack of pictures. There we're few pictures of the Fenyr on the internet.)

     Ever wanted to buy one of the few W Motors Lykan Hypersports on the market but thought to yourself, "this is crazy!" "I'm not paying over 3 million in currency to buy one!" Well W Motors may have heard people complaining about this, sort of, and decided to create a slightly less expensive sequel to the Lykan called the Fenyr Supersport.

     The W Motors Fenyr Supersport is a Lebanese supercar equipped with a custom-built 4 liter flat-six engine from another Arabic car company called Devel which is owned by the German car company Ruf. This engine delivers 887 hp with 885 pound-feet of torque, and a top speed of 248 mph. Naught to sixty takes 2.7 seconds making this car very fast. Unfortunately W Motors hasn't revealed anything else on the drivetrain, but car enthusiasts reckon the suspension and brake parts will also come from Ruf. Whether they have to come through Devel first before going to Ruf then W Motors remains a mystery. 

     No info remains on the interior either. Car enthusiasts do believe however that the Fenyr will abandon the gold stitching in the seats as well as the Virtual Holographic Display which acted as the Lykan's instrument panel. Car enthusiasts also believe the Fenyr will sport Alcantara and leather where the driver sits, as well as carbon fiber and aluminum inserts, and the latest in new automotive technology. What this technology will be and/or do is unknown. I honestly suspect it to be a cheaper but still very nice replacement for the Lykan's instrument panel.

     The Fenyr uses a body made of carbon fiber that has been bolted on a tubular lightweight aluminum chassis. One difference the Fenyr has over the Lykan is that it has a larger and more traditional spoiler unit that is said to run the interior width of the rear fascia. There are also a pair of extra spoilers mounted higher on the rear fenders.

     I almost forgot to mention the Fenyr was joint-developed by Austrian car company Magna Steyr and German car company Ruf.

     The cost of a single W Motors Fenyr Supersport is likely to cost 1.6 million US dollars. The main competition for the Fenyr will likely come from the Pagani Huayra.
