New Bentley, New Technology


Released yesterday, is the new, lighter 2011 Bentley Continental GT. This 143lb lighter, brand new car is equipped with 6.0-liter twin-turbo W12 engine, hitting 567 hp. The new, thinner yet more comfortable cabin seats have a near heating and cooling technology as well as new, leather lined cup holders. But, what is the best upgrade of all? The interior technology. The new GT boasts an eight-inch touch screen interface with 30GB of memory, and an incredible navigation system with Google Maps. How fast does it go? The newly turbo charged GT goes from 0-60mph in 4.4 seconds and 0-100 in 10.2. It’s max speed is 198mph which is 4 mph less then the 2010. The price hasn't been publicized but is expected to be higher than the previous model.

I wonder whether consumers are going to buy this car without thought, or are they going to take a step back, because of the economic market, and question if the car is really worth it. Are they going to wait until Mercedes Benz, BMW and Lexus come out with their new car for the season?

  1. Bentleys are considered a bit higher in comparison with BMW and Lexus. It is very good that you are asking questions though.

  2. I think that if one is considering buying a bentley than they have enough money than they know what to do with. I think that the people who bentley is targeting are very wealthy. So they will care more about the "look" of the car and less about the quality. But I think that this new car will be very appealing to the people that they are targeting.
