Bentley SUV EXP 9 F: The Genesis +video

Bentley SUV EXP 9 F

Bentley has sent us video explaining the EXP 9 F SUV Concept, and we’ve talked to UK owners and dealers about the new SUV. There’s no doubt Bentley are serious about producing the EXP 9 F – or a variation of it – as Bentley’s first SUV (but perhaps not their first ‘Truck’) simply because the market demands [...]

The 2010 Bentley Mulsanne was fully revealed at Frankfurt. Here we have an updated photo gallery and video of the new Mulsanne. We had the tease. Something special is coming.

The Goodwood Festival of Speed is more than a week ago, and we did a round up after it finished. And there were lots of goodies to savour, such as the new Jaguar XK Goodwood Special in Lime Green and the Ferrari Scuderia Spider 16M taking on the Goodwood Hillclimb. So this bit of news [...]

There’s been much speculation on what Bentley are going to do to replace the ancient Bentley Arnage. We were convinced (still are) that it will be a much different car to the outgoing Bentley Arnage . We expect it to be pushed in to the firing line of at least the new Rolls Royce Ghost, [...]
