Bentley

<div style="text-align: justify;">Have you ever seen the winged "B" badge of the Bentley and felt like flying? If yes, you are not the only one! People all around the world dream of owning a Bentley and why not, its stature is just too big not to be desired! Bentley Motors was established in England in January 1919. The founder was Walter Owen Bentley. Walter Owen was always fascinated by combustible engines and racing motorcycles, like most young boys are, and the Bentley was an outcome of this passion.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Bentley Motors has a history full of turns and twists and quite an interesting one too! Lets skim through its pages.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The manufacturing of the Bentley started with a 3-litre engine car which was very advanced for its times. It had four cylinders, single overhead camshaft, four valves per cylinder and twin-spark ignition via two magnetos. But it did make some noise. It is said, that this noise once irritated a nurse who was attending to a dying patient. To everyone's surprise, a person present there had then said 'A happy sound to die to"! Such was the beginning of the Bentley!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;

It has won many Le Mans trophies. The Le Mans is a 24-hour car endurance test held in France. It tests a car to it limits and those who can sustain the grill, command tremendous respect and awe in the automobile market. These races also provided a huge advertisement for the Bentley. The first Bentley,the 3-litre car, participated and came a very respectable 4th!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">From then on, there was no looking back and Bentley motors went on to make some of the finest cars ever known. Sometimes the manufacturing was so slow that the cars were made just before delivery and at times even the demonstration cars had to be sold. But their popularity never ceased to soar. In reality fewer people bought them due to their high prices but still everyone secretly thought of taking control of one of these. After a few years, it was announced that Bentley Motors would retire from racing as they were falling short of money. As well as this, all the rash race driving was giving the common man a very bad impression about the car. Some people were wary of buying the car, as they saw it as a symbol of rough driving. Somewhat in order to break this image, Bentley Motors manufactured a bewitching limousine passenger car. But by this time, the great depression had taken its toll on Bentley Motors, leaving it in financial doldrums. Hence it was decided to sell the firm. Thus Rolls Royce took over Bentley Motors in a very dramatic manner in 1931. At that time Bentley was the most formidable rival of Rolls Royce and the world saw this as a mega deal for Rolls Royce. Actually it was good news for Bentley (in one way at least), that their baby would at least be in some experienced hands. Thus the Bentley was actually with Bentley Motors only till 1931.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The Volkswagen Group ,a German company, has been the owner of Bentley since 1998. The Bentleys are manufactured at the Crewe factory in England.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The various current and popular models of this car are Arnage, Azure, Continental GT, Continental Flying Spur and Continental GTC.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Luxury, elegance and comfort characterize all the Bentleys. Features like emergency fuel shut-off device, child safety door locks located on rear doors, engine immobilizer, front seatbelt height adjusters, fog lights, anti-theft protection, airbags with occupant sensors, computers keeping track of average speed, average fuel consumption, instantaneous fuel consumption and range for remaining fuel, keyless entry operated via key fob, tire pressure monitor, separate driver/front passenger climate controls, rear window defroster, heated washer system, bluetooth incorporated telephone system, electric foldable mirrors, ashtrays, full maps, remote controlled DVD, several speakers, headlight cleaners, leather seats, tinted glass ,a variety of interior lighting, etc. make the Bentley, a precious buy. The Azure also has a sunroof/moonroof and a removable/convertible top!</div>

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><h2 style="text-align: left;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Bentley Definition</span></b></h2>Source (google.com.pk)<br /><br />Bentley Motors has so much to tell. Let’s journey back to where it all started. Before World war I , Mr. Walter Owen Bentley had a dream of designing and building a range of cars in his own name. At this time he was in a partnership with his brother H.M Bentley in the business of selling French DFP (Doriot, Flandrin & Parant) cars. This was a French car based in a place called Courbervoie.<br /><br />In August 1919 Bentley Motors was registered and a chassis with dummy engine was exhibited during the London Motors show of October 1919. A running engine was built by December the same year and orders were taken starting June 1920, but it took a little long for the first cars to be ready, they finally were in September 1921.<br /><br />This was not the only hiccup, the company was underfunded and so Mr. W.O .Bentley sought financial help from at the time Millionaire Woolf Barnato which resulted into Mr. Woolf being the chairman of the company. More storms came in form of ‘The Great Depression’, which is was the largest economic downturn in the 20th Century, that started on October 29th 1929 , mostly known as Black Tuesday. This destroyed the demand for the company’s products, since they were expensive and most likely not a priority at the time. So the company was sold to Rolls- Royce , a rival car, in 1931.The sale was secret, so much that the buyer was only discovered after the sale.<br /><br />In 1998 Volkswagen group purchased Rolls-Royce and Bentley Motors from Vickers (the owner since 1980) following a bidding war with BMW. In 2003 demand had been so great that the company could not meet its orders despite an installed capacity of approximately 9500 cars per year! There was a waiting list of cars to be delivered that was over a year. In April 2005 Bentley confirmed plans to produce a 4 seat convertible model -the Azure. Let’s look at the transformation of some of its models.<br /><br />Bentley Vehicles<br /><br />One of the famous models is the Bentley Arnage, this is a model that was developed in the 90's and can trace its lineage back to 1920's during the time of W.O. Bentley. But it came as a replacement to<br /><br />the Bentley Brooklands which was introduced in 1992, this is a full size luxury car that came in replacement of Bentley Mulsanne and Bentley Eight models. It was intended to be a slightly cheaper alternative to Bentley Turbo, but was replaced by Bentley Arnage. Which is a luxurious car produced by Bentley Motors in Crew England, it was introduced in the Spring of 1998 with its Rolls- Royce branded sibling the Silver Seraph. They were the first entirely new design of that brand since 1980.<br /><br />The Bentley Continental GT is also another product of Bentley Motors; this is a two door, 2+2, meaning it only has four seats, two at the front and two at the back as opposed to the usual three seats at the back. It was produced in 2003 replacing the previous Rolls-Royce based Continental R and T. It is equipped with a 6.0 liter, twin Turbocharged W12 engine producing 552 hp, (412 k W), with a top speed of 198 mph (319 Km/h). IT shares many technical components with the Volkswagen Phaeton.<br /><br /><h2 style="text-align: center;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Bentley Free Wallpaper Pics Pictures Hd for Desktop Iphone Mobile HD 1080p</span></b></h2><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

The VW-owned British luxury carmaker announced today a 20% increase in global sales for the first half of 2011 with 2,978 cars delivered to customers, the best start for the company since 2008.</span><a href="http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2011/07/bentley-defies-crisis-with-20-increase.html" name="more" style="color: #990000; text-decoration: none;"></a></span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana;">The luxury marque attributes this surge in sales to the high demand for the new </span><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Continental GT</span><span style="font-family: Verdana;">as well as the increasing popularity in (least we forget, communist…) China, where Bentley sales have risen by 57% compared to the same period last year, to 680 cars. Thus, it has become the manufacturer’s second best market, behind only the US (George Orwell's "Animal Farm", anyone?).</span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Not to be outdone by China, the capitalist West has contributed its fair, albeit smaller, share to Bentley’s rise. In Europe, sales have increased by 25% (494 cars) and in the USA by 23% (907 cars).

Bentley Continental Supersports

You can potter along at 30mph and the car won't lurch awkwardly through the gears, or you could easily do 400 miles in a day and not feel worn out. Having said that, this still feels like a Bentley. It's not uncomfortable, but you're definitely aware of surface changes more in this version.<br /><br /> And it's stiffer than the standard car, so even in the softest damper setting there's more patter over bumps. This is still a heavy car, despite the diet, and you'll feel that most through a left-right flick, as the tyres and suspension struggle to cope with the weight transfer. There are still downsides here. You can even adjust it slightly on the throttle mid-corner. In the Conti GT there's a hesitation, but in the Supersports the chassis is much sharper.<br /><br /> The steering could do with more feel, but as you turn into the corner, the car is more eager to follow your directions. The noise and power delivery is much more savage and it does feel lighter. Luxury is less overt here. There are no rear seats, the front seats have a manual adjustment, carbon fibre adorns the dash and the mostly leather steering wheel has an ultra-sticky band around it. You get a sense of the purpose of this car even before you hit the accelerator.<br /><br /> The fact that ‘GT' has been removed from the name tells you a lot. It's not a lightened car to the extent of a Clio Renaultsport Cup, so you still get all the luxury you'd associate in a Bentley, but this is the Continental for the racer in you. The effect is a more brutal Bentley. But in the Supersports it changes to 60:40 front to rear.<br /><br /> In a normal Conti, it's a 50:50 split. The gearbox has been tweaked and the four-wheel-drive system has been altered so that more torque is sent to the rear wheels. Oh, and the price goes up to £163,000. Weight is down by 110kg, power is up by 20bhp to 621bhp, torque rises to 590lb ft, 0-60mph drops to 3.7 seconds.<br /><br /> A few more key figures for you. The result is the fastest, most hardcore Bentley that's ever been produced with a top speed of 204mph. That's because Bentley engineers spent their spare time tinkering with various aspects of the GT Speed to see how far they could push the performance envelope.  Think of the Bentley Continental Supersports as the ultimate man-in-shed car. </div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.carshowp.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/2010-Bentley-Continental-Supersports-Coupe-Front-Side-View.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://www.carshowp.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/2010-Bentley-Continental-Supersports-Coupe-Front-Side-View.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 265px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 400px;" /></a>Bentley Continental Supersports (2010)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.caranddriver.com/var/ezflow_site/storage/images/reviews/car/09q4/2010_bentley_continental_supersports-first_drive_review/gallery/2010_bentley_continental_supersports_photo_13/2912425-1-eng-US/2010_bentley_continental_supersports_20_cd_gallery.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://www.caranddriver.com/var/ezflow_site/storage/images/reviews/car/09q4/2010_bentley_continental_supersports-first_drive_review/gallery/2010_bentley_continental_supersports_photo_13/2912425-1-eng-US/2010_bentley_continental_supersports_20_cd_gallery.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 244px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 401px;" /></a>Bentley Continental Supersports (2010)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://www.egmcartech.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/2009_geneva_bentley_continental_supersports_image_002.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 268px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 400px;" />Bentley Continental Supersports (2010)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.automotiveaddicts.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/2010-Bentley-Continental-Supersports.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://www.automotiveaddicts.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/2010-Bentley-Continental-Supersports.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 268px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 400px;" /></a>Bentley Continental Supersports (2010)</div></div>

Bentley Continental GTC Speed Review

<div class="post-body entry-content"><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.wanimas.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/2010_bentley_continental_gtc_speed_1_gallery_image_large.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://www.wanimas.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/2010_bentley_continental_gtc_speed_1_gallery_image_large.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 244px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 401px;" /></a><b>Bentley Continental GTC Speed (2010)</b><br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;">In road tests, our editors found the Continental GTC to be a tremendously dynamic drive, while remaining buttoned-down If the rear seats are unoccupied -- they are surprisingly spacious -- a chrome and aluminum wind blocker can be raised over them to greatly reduce wind turbulence. Thanks to a modified version of the coupe's rear suspension, the top folds completely flat and maintains a sleek profile. With the push of a button, the convertible fabric top opens or closes in about 25 seconds and will even operate while the car is moving (at speeds up to 20 mph). This package adds "51" badging, 20-inch polished wheels, three-tone interior color schemes, unique upholstery with contrasting piping/stitching and exclusive wood veneers.<br /><br /> For 2010, the Series 51 option of pre-selected interior treatments debuted. There are a variety of lambswool rug choices, 17 colors for the interior and 15 for the exterior. Buyers can choose between different colors for the convertible top and styles of wood trim. The options are virtually limitless (though you'll pay handsomely for them).<br /><br /> Inside, the Bentley Continental GTC is packed with features and amenities and is fitted with the finest wood and leather. Despite these performance upgrades, the GTC Speed retains every drop of civility normally associated with Bentley's vehicles. In addition to the bigger engine, the Speed version gets bigger wheels, bigger brakes, a retuned suspension and consequently improved handling dynamics. The GTC Speed features 600 hp and 553 lb-ft of torque, and gets from zero to 60 in 4.6 seconds.<br /><br /> The base GTC produces 552 horsepower and 479 pound-feet of torque, which takes the GTC from zero to 60 in 5 seconds. All-wheel drive is standard. Both versions of this luxury convertible are powered by a twin-turbocharged 6.0-liter W12 engine attached to a six-speed automatic transmission. There's also the GTC Speed, a higher-performance variant. The Bentley Continental GTC is a two-door luxury convertible with seating for four.<br /><br /> Current Bentley Continental GTC. But for those financially fortunate souls just wanting a luxury-focused grand touring four-seater, it doesn't get any better than Bentley's new GTC. It's true that a couple of other high-end convertibles are a bit more agile in terms of handling. Curb weight is a couple hundred pounds more than the coupe. To make up for lost body stiffness due to the lack of a fixed roof, Bentley has fitted the GTC with additional structural reinforcements.<br /><br /> Like the coupe, the GTC has a powerful turbocharged W12 engine, all-wheel drive and an adjustable air suspension. As its name suggests, the GTC is the convertible version of Bentley's successful four-seat Continental GT coupe. It's a high-performance drop top that manages to provide every bit of luxury you'd expect in a traditional Bentley, only now with more attitude and agility. In that fashion, the Bentley Continental GTC is more than just a posh convertible.<br /><br /> But with the help of its parent company, Volkswagen, Bentley has recently done a remarkable job in shedding its stuffy image and establishing itself as a contemporary luxury coachbuilder.  Some might find it hard to believe that Bentley actually competed in the 24 Hours of Le Mans endurance race a few years ago -- and won.</div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.automild.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/2010-New-Bentley-Continental-GTC-Speed.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://www.automild.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/2010-New-Bentley-Continental-GTC-Speed.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 304px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 406px;" /></a>Bentley Continental GTC Speed (2010)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://backseatdriver.driverside.com//wp-content/uploads/2009/04/gtcspeed072a-1023x609.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://backseatdriver.driverside.com//wp-content/uploads/2009/04/gtcspeed072a-1023x609.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 238px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 401px;" /></a>Bentley Continental GTC Speed (2010)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.dieselstation.com/pics/bentley-continental-gtc-speed-2010-car-picture.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://www.dieselstation.com/pics/bentley-continental-gtc-speed-2010-car-picture.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 267px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 400px;" /></a>Bentley Continental GTC Speed (2010)</div></div>

With bio-fuel engines, the initial rollout will begin next year and the entire range should become compatible by 2012. “Bentley does not believe that short-term measures are an appropriate answer to these global issues, and is basing its strategy on a long-term vision.” Before the all-new powertrain arrives next decade, efficiency improvements will, according to Bentley, be achieved through the application of innovative technology to its eight and 12-cylinder engines, including “enhanced engine management, and new, improved transmissions and drivelines, as well as through weight reduction”.<br /><br /> Zagato2010 Bentley GTZ center image“We will set a benchmark in our segment of the industry by making every engine capable of running on renewable fuels, reducing emissions and improving fuel efficiency throughout our fleet. “This is a major step in the history of Bentley, reflecting the increasing expectation from our customers around the world for performance motoring with fuel-efficient engines,” said Dr Paefgen. In a speech delivered at the Geneva motor show, Bentley CEO Franz-Josef Paefgen said the strategy would be based on three stages: reducing average emissions across its eight and 12-cylinder petrol engine range by at least 15 per cent by 2012; introducing an all-new powertrain by 2012 that will deliver a 40 per cent improvement in fuel economy “while maintaining current levels of performance”; and offering bio-ethanol-compatible engines, the first of which should be available next year.  BENTLEY Motors outlined a new environmental strategy for the Volkswagen-owned British luxury brand last week, promising to reduce emissions and fuel consumption – but taking no radical steps towards reducing its reliance on large internal combustion engines. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;
