aye, just saw that myself (in england on holiday) bloody fast little bugger, even if it does need a 6l W12 cyl rig to do it...not much to look at though, inside looks comfortable though...


as for those quads, basicly useless in england, should see what people ride on in canada...that field is what 14 year olds do with there older brothers 4x4s.

i love em, think they are beautiful in a big ugly powerful kind of way.  really has a presence - just like the Aston Martin V-8 Vantage.

BMW's are really nice cars, but far too common.  they just do not stand out.

Quite surprised to see that on Top Gear because I thought it had been out for ages; well, it was on Bentley's website for over 4 months so expected it had been covered before it was even officially released.

Continental GTs are damn huge tho, so the Flying Spur must be a tad bit bigger.

$160K?

For that much and a year of spare time I could keep my pickup and get one of these. (unpressurized)

concept cars are better than "real" cars =) I would personally take a concept over "Real" any day
