Bentley Coupe

It's got styling cues from Aston, Jaguar and Ferrari but there's no denying it's a good looking car. Coupled with an obscenely powerful engine it's going to be a very desirable car...

Arrgh body made in germany! I can handle a Karmann TR6 or Cossie but this is too much!

I feel sorry for Bentley, because it is now a VolksWagen, which is correctly translated to FolkCar.

Bodo

Not a KDFwagen though Bodo.

I always thought the literal translation of Volkswagen was Peoples Car. Well I never, learn something new every day.

This is right, it more some kind of PNDP-Wagen - Profile Neurosis Through Piech

Could have been as well Citizen's Cart

It looks ok but those are quite clearly NOT spy shots, they are computer generated impressions of what it might look like! R...

agree Rich - Autocar are ALWAYS doing that - and man it p*ss*s me off!

If the Bentley is the "penultimate" brand of Volkswagen, then what is the ultimate brand?
What is meant by "Volkswagen's penultimate brand"? Was it the last but one brand that VW acquired?

Looks like a peugeot coupe to me. Not seen one around Nantwich which is where they road test them so my guess is it does not exist yet.

The ultimate is Bugatti, I guess
