BENTLEY BLITZES THE Paris Motor Show with its new GT Coupe – of the brightest sport car stars at the show – as a matter of fact the very star of the show to quite a few British journalist.

4-seater, 4-wheel drive, air suspension are some of the tough features. Under the bonnet it is a 6.0-litre W12 engine equipped with twin turbo for the case that a 6-litre W12 normal aspirating unit is not enough.

The sleek GT costing 500 m pounds to develop is arguably the most significant car in Bentley’s 83-year history. Bentley’s first W12 engine (from the VW Group as a matter of fact) churns out is power of 500 bhp and 740 lb ft (925 Nm), which is even more than the mighty Mercedes-Benz Maybach crowning the GT as the world’s torquiest car.

And some might even say the most beautiful as well.
