This is the anti-Bentley.
Garish, pointless and has all the style of a JD Sport own-brand plastic bag.
Are the Bentley marketing team just trolling the world? Who in God's name is their target market for this absolute monstrosity?
No motoring fan would think anything but bad thoughts about such a vile vehicle and the idea of making a statement by celebrating getting this thing up Pike's Peak slightly quicker than another utterly unsuitable car defies a logic that I cannot grasp.
This thing is more redolent of Richard Rawling's brand identity than Bentley.
What has happened to the idea of taste and class?

Let's be honest, the car you buy is really just a 'rag and fluff' job. The 'record' car (there's a video doing the rounds from Rhys Millen's POV) clearly has modified suspension with the ride height locked in access height, and given there's absolutely zero roll, I'd strongly suspect someone's turned up the anti roll control to 12 which would be neither durable or driveable on the road. OK, the hardware I'm sure was standard, but as everyone who's had a Revo map or an APR chip can testify, that certainly doesn't mean the car's standard in the way it performs. The noises the tyres were making and the phenomenal turn in would also strongly suggest some fairly serious tyres, even if they are 'dot' marked.
It would be interesting to do something similar to a Range Rover Sport SVR by dropping the ride height to access height, re-calibrating all the active damping and roll control and switching all the roll stability control off and having another go with a set of Trofeo R's on.....
Here's the video by the way:

Have another: 
This has become the new fashionable colour though. The Astons in WEC are a similar vile hue and I saw a new Lamborghini in the same shade in Italy at the weekend.
It’s bizarre isn’t it.This has become the new fashionable colour though. The Astons in WEC are a similar vile hue and I saw a new Lamborghini in the same shade in Italy at the weekend.
I like the new Aston’s but when they use this bile green as an accent colour for their AMR cars it just ruins them.
Please, please stop.
