Fast, more focused Bentley = good
Bentley with chav tat stickers and interior = not good

Surely you can order one without the stickers, with the spoiler in body colour, (or even delete it, perhaps), different wheels and whatever interior trim your heart desires. These cars are hardly off-the-shelf. Most of the, apparent, dislikes on here can be addressed. It then becomes a real wolf in woolly garb.

Until the "Tuners" completely tart it up. Anyone for Gold and Green metalflake with copper-coloured hideous wheels and a body kit?

We have a red one with stickers... It looks a lot better, but the best is an Onyx black with no stickers, it looks amazing!

Aren't these just a bit old looking now, stick as much tat in it as you like, the shape is just tired looking as they're everywhere nowadays

I'd be interested to see one in old school Bentley racing livery; I agree the colour scheme on the car in the article is a bit shouty.

Good to see Bentley back to building the world's fastest lorries.

2200kg and GT3...it's like your Dad dancing at a wedding.

[Alfa159Ti]

It reminds me of a Celica GT4.

[Joeguard1990]

Nice try comparing it to a GTR but a GTR would lose this thing in the first corner...

The R suffix is meant to indicate that this is the Rappers version.

Are you? After years fighting in the trenches, they would have approved of a German owned Bentley with German engines?!?

[jason61c]

massive thread bump. anyone running one of these now they're a few years old? at £95k, they seem like good 'value'? sort of so wrong that they're right.

[carinaman]

There's a lookalike one (item no. 266540921429) on ebay yet to reach the reserve price.

[Every day a journey]

£245k???
