The new Bentley Continental GT - The Launch.

If you follow me on Twitter and is my friend on Facebook, you probably seen this picture earlier. =)

Anyways, today, I would like to introduce you to the *new* Bentley Continental GT. Yes, they call it... the 2012 Bentley Continental GT.

This is the *new* Bentley Continental GT. Stunning isnt it?

The view from the front... just as stunning. It still has some of its old looks, but it is very sporty, and very stylish too.

The Bentley Continental GT returns in 2012 with slightly refreshed bodywork, more dynamic handling, improved comfort, more rear-seat legroom and up-to-date electronics. Power has been increased slightly and an updated transmission debuts. A more economical and affordable V8 model will arrive later in the year.

Earlier tonight, I was at Pavilion - the Bentley showroom to witness the unveiling of the new Bentley Continental GT. =)

The VIP invites. *woooots*

In case you didnt know where the showroom is, it is located at the Jalan Raja Chulan entrance, opposite of Jaguar, and right beside Segafredo Cafe.

Bentley Motors Limited is a British manufacturer of automobiles founded on 18 January 1919 by Walter Owen Bentley known as W.O. Bentley or just "W O". Bentley had been previously known for his range of rotary aero-engines in World War I, the most famous being the Bentley BR1 as used in later versions of the Sopwith Camel. After the war W. O. Bentley designed and made production cars that won the 24 hours of Le Mans in 1924 and following models which repeated those successes each June 1927, 1928, 1929 and 1930.

In Malaysia, the distributorship, or franchisee is held by the timber giants Samling Group, also known for its award winning township, Desa ParkCity. =)

Meet the hot and tall sexy chics + the car.

Here's another eye candy... *slurps*

In early 2007, a Bentley Continental GT Speed, driven by four-time World Rally Champion Juha Kankkunen, broke the World Speed Record on Ice - on the frozen Baltic Sea near Oulu, Finland in a Bentley Continental GT. It averaged 321.6 kilometres per hour (199.83 mph) in both directions on the "flying kilometre", reaching a maximum speed of 331 km/h (205.67 mph). The previous record was 296 km/h (183.9 mph), achieved with a Bugatti EB110 Supersport. The record-breaking Bentley was largely standard except for a roll-cage, aerodynamic improvements, and low-temperature fuel and calibration.
