Vorsteiner Bentley Continental GT

Vorsteiner already has upgrade packages for German luxury vehicles like the BMW M3 and Mercedes CLK63 AMG, and now the tuning house has unveiled a fresh aero package for the Bentley Continental GT and GT Speed.

Called the BR9 edition, the five-piece kit was constructed using vacuum-bagged dry carbon-fiber technology. It starts off with a new front bumper cover with bigger air intakes as well as a carbon-fiber chin spoiler and continues with side skirts, a rear bumper, a diffuser and a deck lid spoiler. The package gives the two-door British coupe a 1.5-inch-lower stance in the front and a 1.4-inch drop in the back.

Vorsteiner also equipped the vehicle with 22-inch forged aluminum wheels wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 tires. The tuner allows buyers to have the wheels custom painted or powder-coated if desired.

The whole carbon-fiber package comes in either glossy or matte coloring, and you can check out the California tuner's Web site for more details.

Vorsteiner Styles the Bentley Continental GT

Though the company bears a name quite similar to one of my favorite German beers, I can’t say I’m enamored with this Vorsteiner BR9 Bentley Continental GT styling package. Outside of the language–”vacuum bagged dry carbon fiber technology”–there’s just not a whole lot of wow there.

Love it or leave it, the package includes five carbon fiber pieces: lowered front bumper, side skirts, lowered rear bumper with integrated diffuser and a deck lid spoiler. Additionally, customers choose matte or gloss finish on the carbon upgrades and add 22-inch forged aluminum ‘Monoblock Mesh’

2009 Bentley Continental GT By Romero Britto

This is the ‘Britto-Bentley', a squiggly, cartoony art-thing from renowned Brazilian pop artist Romero Britto, created in conjunction with the Bentley designers themselves.

The Britto-Bentley is on display at Romero's ‘Come to my World' exhibit in Berlin and, according to Romero himself, has been created to ‘put a smile on people's faces'. "Since everything in life moves toward an end", says Britto, "we should fill our life with colour and hope."

When the Berlin show finishes, the Britto-Bentley will be auctioned off for charity.

The improvement kit of the mtm Bentley Continental GT calls itself Birkin Edition. Two turboloaders find their way into the vehicle in place of a compressor but also in actual circumstance the technical changes attack where the series leaves room for upgrades.

Bentley Goes All Craigslist On Us

If you're having trouble finding the correct boot-lid badge for your Bentley--or any other part--the factory feels your pain. And they want to help.

For two days, September 26 and 27, the storied marque is having what can only be called a garage sale. Or as the Brits might say, an autojumble. Bentley itself calls it a "one-off parts and accessories sales fair," to be held at its warehouse outside Crewe.

Bentley Motors needs to make space in its 143,000-square-foot building for parts and accessories for new models, including the 2010 Arnage replacement that will debut on August 16 at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance in California.

So the company is offering auto specialists and Bentley owners the chance to buy "anything from a V8 engine block or replacement gearbox right through to an indicator bulb or a pristine, beautifully illustrated 1950s handbook."

Bentley says it has more than 55,000 part lines for Bentleys made starting in 1955 (as well as Rolls-Royce cars built at Crewe), which represents an astounding 7 million new parts. Given the longevity of the cars, the factory takes "real pride in being able to provide anything from a humble speedometer cable through to replacement body panels anywhere in the world."
