    My wife wants one for her 65th... Smiley Smiley

    We see lots of Bentleys in Miami, mostly convertibles but coupes as well. Surprisingly, the coupes are often driven by men in their 40s/50s, the convertibles by older men. Smiley I like the GT coupe a lot but I'd probably go with the four doors RR Ghost instead if I were looking for something in this category. 

    Very beautiful (and timeless) car though, so I would definitely have one in my garage if I could afford many different cars at the same time. Smiley

    Re: Bentley GT

    Congrats on the GT, it is an amazing car. In my view currently the the best luxury DD coupé out there. kiss


    Re: Bentley GT

    Gotta have a GT, its low key compared to many flashy cars out there and a great comfy daily driver, The grunt of those 12 cylinders are perfect for our straight highways in the UAE. However if I lived in Europe with twisty mountain passes, nothing beats a Porsche 911


    Re: Bentley GT

    Any opinion on the V8?


    Re: Bentley GT

    People say the V8 is more nimble but I prefer the grunt of the 12 cylinders. Gas is still cheap in this part of the world

     

     


    Re: Bentley GT

    the new Bentley GT is exquisite ,, and beautifully proportioned and extremely well built

    makes the DB11 feel cheap and poorly engineered


    Re: Bentley GT

    The farmer: 10 of these is fitted in to my car. Only bull hides are used (19 in a Mulsanne angel) I’m not going with this color, I’m going with black, but same size👍

    You know the joke at Rolls Royce is that they send their reject hides to Crewe Smiley. More seriously, Congratulations Smiley. The new GT does what it is supposed to very well, with no fuss,  and makes a nice addition to any collection.

    Re: Bentley GT

    Congratulations.  Can't wait to see more pictures of your car as well as read a review.


    Re: Bentley GT

    I’m picking it up in 1 1/2 weeks. Will take some pictures then. But the drive review has to wait a bit. I’m away from end of feb to beginning of Mars, some more races in the Middle East and skiing.

    Next week it’s time for some ice driving with a WRC car. Will be funsmiley

    Re: Bentley GT

    Congrats - beautiful car!

    Re: Bentley GT

    What's the latest scoop on the 2020 Flying Spur Hybrid?

    When the Taycan arrives to replace my Panamera Turbo S e-Hybrid, I'll need something in the garage that can do 3-500 mile trips.  The Arnage is the natural current car to flip (no AWD), so thinking Flying Spur Hybrid would be the ticket.

    Re: Bentley GT

    The Flying Spur will be introduced in 2020. V8 and W12. SWB and LWB. Will look more like a 4 door Coupé.

    I am wondering how a much smaller car like Taycan can replace your Panamera?

    Re: Bentley GT

    What is the take on the V8 vs V12 Bentley?


    Re: Bentley GT

    ALDO:

    The Panamera is a rather big car, and for a while has been the only car in the Porsche lineup with 4 actual seats that's not an SUV. I suspect there are more than just a few Pana costumers that need the convenience of a 4 door but not all the space and size of it. The Taycan sounds like it would be a great alternative for those in that position.

    This is Porsche, not Lamborghini.  However, I have always found the Cayman a bit shorter in leg room than the Boxster for some reason.  I have not sat in either 718 variant as they hold absolute zero appeal to me.  Segueing to the Bentley, I have only seen one, during a private invite event nearly one year ago.  The car is quite striking but in person, for some reason, looks larger than the outgoing model.

    Model X - no, no, nooooooo - you mean to replace the Panamera with a Model X? NO 

    I am a big fan of the Panamera, it has enough room and is very sporty. The Taycan is much smaller and also one level below the Panamera regarding the used materials and finishes.

    The new Flying Spur with SWB and V8 could be a very attractive alternative to the Panamera. It is even a one level higher regarding interior. But it is not a BEV.
