The way the ancient poet Hesiod tells it, Poseidon, the Greek god of the sea, put it about a bit, ending up with no fewer than 50 daughters. One of them, Galene the Nereid, took it upon herself to be a soothing influence, the one who put a stop to all the quarrels that would…
Charley Speed finds a namesake that on all levels – looks, elegance, sartorial style, luxurious accessories and muscular power – almost rivals his own. Almost.
“It could be a future model line, alongside the Continental GT and redefining the pinnacle of another market sector, and the styling of the EXP 10 Speed 6 could influence the expansion of the Bentley family. This is not just a new sports car concept – but the potential Bentley sports car – a bold…
Bentley’s all-new and ground-breaking luxury SUV will be revealed to the world later this year and a name has been chosen: Bentley Bentayga. The name, released at this year’s Detroit Auto Show, comes from the ‘Roque Bentayga’, a rugged and challenging mountain peak in the Canary Islands, where volcanic eruptions have formed vertical cliffs, cracks and…
Since Rolls Royce have been finding happy customers for the Phantom Drophead for many years, Bentley have decided ‘anything you can do…’ Bentley recently announced their new Grand Convertible concept car.

You’ve probably already noted the dark tint finish to the grills and lights, the 21 inch ‘directional’ alloy wheels, twin rifled exhaust pipes, glimpses of ‘Speed’ badging,…
This being the End Days, there’s a lot of people reaching for the ameliorating wisdom of the ancients. Since the Mayans have, if you’ll pardon the idiom, pissed on their chips post the whole 2012 damp squib, Chinese fatalism has been gaining some traction. Earth. Metal. Wood. Fire. Air. Traditionally, these elements were all significant…
Newsflash from Bentley’s HQ at Crewe – an SUV will be its fourth model line – the most expensive sports utility vehicle in the world. Get set for Bentley’s latest piece of automotive elegance. Photos are yet to emerge and the car’s price is unconfirmed, but estimates have put it in the region of £150,000. Over the next three…
Who’s a pretty boy then? As the classic and mildly irritating Madness song doesn’t exactly go: “I’ve been driving in my car. It’s better than a Jaguar. I bought it from Bentley Motors. It was made in thirteen days in Crewe’s factory of dreams.” Or something like that… Yes, you guessed it – we’re obsessed…
