 2012 Bentley Continental GT
The Bentley Continental Flying Spur coupe and sedan reincarnated the British brand, back when they were new decade. This year the coupe and convertible get a new body style uprated drivetrains, but the changes do little to change the weights Conti stunning and luxurious feel.

Price of less than $ 200,000 in its basic form, the two-door could spiral to more than $ 250,000 depending on which version you choose. But all models share the view, one that is not too much different from the previous edition. Front end has been finessed for clearer and slightly lighter appearance to the sides, but mostly, the Continental GT and GTC looks like linebacks dressed, big and bruising but really smooth. Continental GT coupe pillar reads "sportscar" pelvic plump, even though it was really great to see, while the GTC convertible seems more classic, relaxed by the proportion of roof removal. Inside, the cockpit Conti is one of the most tranquil places in well-fitted automotive field: traditional materials and forms to sit comfortably on a large LCD screen and other modern conveniences, while Bentley logo tuck discreetly and indiscreetly, sometimes, in the middle of square feet of real wood and chrome and a meter of leather sewn with care. Front and center, dash wear Breitling watches, just like the other Hall of Fame will.

Since its launch, the Continental GT has been siphoning power from the 6.0-liter, twin-turbocharged engine, the W-12 work with a six-speed automatic and all-wheel drive. This year, nearly every version get uprated version of the drivetrain, with 567 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque, some 15 hp and 37 lb-ft over the outgoing model. Bentley estimates a 0-60 mph time of less than 4.5 seconds and a top speed of 195 mph, an amazing achievement in a vehicle that weighs nearly three tons, or more than about seven-seat utility vehicle. Speed ​​Version former model year has taken off, but the Continental GTC Supersports Convertible are taken from the 2011 form, with 621 hp or 631 hp as an issue (Ice Speed ​​Record) ISR special. This version is capable of 0-60 mph times of 3.7 seconds or less, and a top speed of 204 mph-claimed. Acceleration is awesome, but the gas mileage is terrible: the GTS Conti is rated at 11/19 mpg.

For the mass and length of the vehicle, the Continental GT has a virtuous, capable road manners. The standard shocks and computer-controlled three-mode ride control - dubbed the Continuous Damping Control (CDC) - combine with all-wheel drive is now set to give more power to the rear wheels than to the front. So set up, extraordinary Conti GT willing to press hard and deep into the corner. Its brakes are large and very capable, even before you upgrade them to the optional carbon-ceramic rotors, most powerful brakes ever seen in a production car, Bentley said.

As great as it is, the space is not forte Continental GT. While the driver and front passenger have plenty of shoulder and knee space, and ample headroom to go with their incredible support seat, the rear seat is difficult to get in easily, and legroom and shoulder room are not in abundance. All passengers will admire Continental sensory rush of top quality materials, from the plush carpets and fine wood and leather, all the way to an easy ski-sack pass-through that expands cargo space somewhat.

Both security agencies have been crash-tested Continental - can you imagine - but all versions get standard front, side and curtain airbags, and anti-lock brakes, traction and stability control and all-wheel drive?. Convertible is equipped with automatic pop-up roll bar for added rollover protection, while the revised version of the Supersports stability control that allows owners are having a little more wheelspin. Even in the GTC convertible, it can be difficult to measure as far as the back-end and Conti, so the standard rearview camera appreciated.

Continental comes as close to handmade as possible, by design. All have standard electronic climate control, Bluetooth and DVD navigation system also controls the climate and audio functions. The sport Google maps navigation system and an 8-inch LCD touchscreen excited. A Naim-engineered audio system that has a pure, flat voice, only an additional $ 7,015. The GTC convertible comes with the power that folds in 25 seconds, it is woven with great quality and a lot of road noise drown out the ambient. We encourage Mulliner package of leather, knurled chrome and turned aluminum trim, and optional lambs wool rugs.

Croatia does not sound like something foreign to Americans, but the Europeans have called "the new Tuscany" because they turn their timeshare-building, economic-hyperinflating attention away from the last "new Tuscany" in southern Spain.

We are still confused about what was wrong with the old Tuscany, but forget that. Croatia has it all.

Artfully shambolic stone huts ripe for conversion to a pied-a-terres. Catholic Churches with the score, just a few hours from a stock-photography bestseller. Olives and wine is clear and tasty enough to please the pickiest locavores through one or two seasons fashionable. The appeal goes well, well beyond the party orthography of the letters J, V, and Z.

Our lawn-darted fusty old German to Pula, an ancient Roman garrison to the arena spectacular preserved at its core, and drive north to the Adriatic coast to the resort of Rovinj playpen. This "Rovigno" in Italy is only 30 miles away, and Rovinj in fact part of Italy until 1945 - after spending most of the 19th century Hapsburg royal curl and hold over half the fun of the 20th century by concrete arms of Tito Yugoslavia.

From Rovinj we launched into a kind of One Lap of Istria in 2012 Bentley Continental GTC, a four-seat ragtop from Crewe. White Silk limp became convertible with red leather interior obscene, we stayed at the side of duck foie gras regimen for one day, and know why people want to become rich is disgusting.

This toy like this. New GTC may not be perfect, but it is clearly different from the four-seat convertible that debuted in 2006. Bentley GTC took the steam iron to the Conti GT coupe and relatives this year, and both are witnesses to describe the same heart that has occurred across the entire portfolio of Volkswagen AG. Look at the old Cayenne and Touareg and new: adjusted proportions and detail are better given new life to their design, and although it does not need to press the reset GTC games like the SUV, it's more beautiful and more attractive after its mid-cycle revamp.

These are all sharpened pixel or two, even in colors that do not read the clean, muted blues and dark gray. Fender has more detail pressed into them, Bentley credit-formed hot stamping process for more precise folds and subtle draping at the front end. The rear panel has a more squat written in. U-shaped insets at front and rear ends cutting down substantial mass visual Conti, something we can not see easily in the Audi lineup, for example, with a floor-to-ceiling lattice.

Details Starker The Continental still looks a bit unfinished. A large chrome honeycomb separate them, and still very ingenious how the oval lights command attention. Luxury cars are usually wearing some kind of eye brow shadow of metal or plastic, but Continental enable them to meet the body color frankly. That was clever in some sort of passive-aggressive way: straightforward is the jewelry. The Bentley pumice erupted details elsewhere: B and the brake pedal is pressed to the cast as a hood ornament, right-sized studded Breitling clock on the dashboard.

Eyes closed, you'll know you're in a British car with a touch and smell it, and it's right in the cabin Continental absurd. Close soft leather covered dash, dash and console are trimmed in a variety of woods that come to the plant looks like a sheet of thick brown nori. The carpet is a wool because every Speedo-wearing Turk, but soft as an easy chair. Everything that looks like metal metal. Even the door handles are cool to the touch first, and so is ventilation gimbaled and pull levers that control the flow of their air.

This is the level of fin-de-siecle ridiculous quality ordered by the price tag - and it was left to the choice of 17 skins, six combinations of them, and seven types of wood.
