Tuner tweaks the Flying Spur
Update your Bentley with Mansory
  Mansory's Bentley Flying Spur |
Is your Bentley Flying Spur or Continental GT just not quick enough? Take it to German tuner Mansory and it'll boost the car to 630bhp, up from 552bhp, and a max torque hike from 479lb-ft to 553lb-ft. it knocks 0.2 seconds off the 0-62mph sprint, bringing it down to five seconds. Top speed is up from 195mph to 199mph on the four-door Flying Spur.
There are external tweaks too. Mansory's new front spoiler includes integrated daytime running lights, together with painted or chromed sword design elements and chromed air intake grilles.
Its redesigned side skirts with chrome embellishments give the Flying Spur "a longer sleeker appearance", said the company.
The complete redesigned rear skirt incorporates Mansory's oval chromium plated stainless steel exclusive over-and-under exhaust tips. According to the company, they "make an extreme statement of performance and speed coupled with a dominating sound".
At the rear, the rear spoiler is redesigned and the Mansory seven-spoke, light alloy wheels give a different appearance to standard. The wheels are also available in chrome-plated 9.0 x 20-inch and 275/35/20 profile tyres. Brand new for the Continental Flying Spur are forged 10 x 22" aluminium wheels with 295/25/22 tyres.
There's a revised air sport suspension system and uprated braking system available too. They consist of six-piston-aluminium fixed calipers with ventilated, perforated front discs (396x36 mm), brake pads and installation hardware, though these will only fit inside Mansory's 20-inch wheels. At the rear, you'll find six-piston-aluminium fixed callipers, ventilated, perforated rear discs (396x36 mm), brake pads and installation hardware.
Inside, Mansory provides Nappa leather and carbon-fibre, and a sports steering wheel can be made to a customer's design. And to finish it off, there are illuminated Mansory stainless steel sill plates and polished aluminium foot pedals.

Yes, a news item thread is created by the first person who replies but only when they have clicked the "post" button, in the meantime someone could start another and create a duplicate.

The Arnage was and remains about as far as 'the experiment' could conceivably go and to this day, I would still be happy to punt around in a latest model but these Phaeton Shuffles are simply not on.
It would be far, far more appropriate for owners to opt instead, for the open charms of an Alpina B7, Mercedes S65 AMG or yes, a delimited Phaeton 6.0 W12.
Only the Rolls Royce has any design credibility, that I can see, in that it does represent a ground up development and whilst the ownership issue itself, as perhaps Aston or Lamborghini have successfully demonstrated, can be broadly retained despite inapropriate national sovereignty of the marque, much of the essence of the fundemntal DNA can be preserved to offer a contemporarily acceptable option.
Tu Pak Shakur.
Why would a Bentley owner want anything other than original, authentic quality? If today's Bentley customers think a balding Krout in an air-conditioned shed can improve on the manufacturers efforts, they shouldn't be buying a Bentley in the first place.
Ofcourse, the fact that this VW/Bentley was designed by a team of Balding Krouts should render the situation unsurprising.

... daytime running lights ...
Is that what we're calling fog lights these days to justify driving around all day looking like berks dazzaling other road users?!
How long until every halfords-brutalised granny-hatch driver starts calling their fog lights 'driving lights' and uses this instead?!
