Bentley Zagato Continental GTZ 2008 review.

Here’s the deal. The neighbours are impossible to impress. Yeah, you’ve got a modest mansion in the Hamptons a few doors down from Spielberg, and a dozen or so swanky cars, but, well, mere exclusivity has lost its sparkle. Hell, you could reverse down your road in an acid yellow LP640 Roadster (more…)

Bentley Arnage R review.

Like the words “ye olde” and “thou art,” the Bentley Arnage is a relic from a different British time. Its basic profile is none too different from 1980s Bentleys, while the twin-turbocharged V8 is derived from an engine originally designed in the 1950s.
