Torture by speed
New Bentley Continental Flying pictures.

New Bentley Continental Flying Spur it is created that in 2009 clients could feel still большее grace, comfort, possibilities and fitness under requirements of the client. To the leader in the class, to a 12-cylinder sedan-lux 610-strong Bentley Continental Flying Spur Speed, the most powerful also will join 4-dvernyj the car which was issued by the British manufacturers, offering live sensation of management and with what not comparable capacity that is synonyms of all cars Speed from Bentley.
Bentley Continental Flying Spur made stunning success from the moment of release in 2005. The unsurpassed combination of capacity, luxury, grace, style and a practicality have expanded a lineup. Bentley Continental Flying Spur became the most successful model of a 12-cylinder sedan-lux in the world and has played a key role in revival of brand Bentley. |
| In the beginning there was a hope that we will be started up on a racing ring in the Sherry, — knowingly we reached on the south of Spain already by three planes! Alas: only public roads. Having despaired, I even have dared on a self-wolf — and have jerked on a formular line. Perhaps it will turn out to pay and pass at least pair of circles? But gate have been locked: a siesta … it was necessary to be dragged behind “waggons” with a speed of 80 km/h. And it on the car which character starts to be shown only after 200 km/h. That still torture. But when the operative open space … opened
It was Bentley Continental GT Speed, the fast Bentley for all history of mark. |

| Ten seconds — and on a speedometer of 160 km/h. Even a half-minute — and 300 km/h, and any more does not suffice a three-metre strip even on the most flat turns. Happen a small hillock — and you almost fly. Fear makes up not only speed: the wheel has not enough weight — even in spite of the fact that with growth of speed productivity of the pump of the hydraulic booster falls. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Low uterine sound of the engine — as if on old Bentleys of colour «british rejsing» with rjadnymi “shesterkami” on which prince Michael Kentsky and inveterate British motorists came time and again to Russia. But here — supercompact folksvagenovsky motor W12 with two turbokompressorami Borg-Warner which for version Speed has been once again modernised. At it new pistons and the facilitated rods. Instead of former dvuhrjadnoj chains gazoraspredelitelnogo the mechanism — easier and less noisy single-row chain. For decrease in “pump” losses at limiting turns in internal walls kartera ventilating apertures — for the best air circulation are increased. And pressure of pressurisation has risen with 0,6 to 0,7 bar. It could be lifted and above but then it should to offer a smooth curve of a twisting moment — a distinctive feature of all Bentley. As a result — 610 h.p. at 6000 rpm against 560 h.p. on GT and 750 Nanometers of a twisting moment instead of 650 Nanometers. Now the speedometer marked to 340 km/h almost does not deceive expectations: passport maximum speed — 326 km/h! | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Certainly, Continental GT Speed — not the fastest car in the world. Is, for example, Pagani Zonda (340 km/h) and Koenigsegg CC (395 km/h) — cars with more favourable parity of weight and capacity. But you saw, how these piece superpenalties are made? On snivels! And Bentley is a thing. Konvejerno-handwork, the quality repeatedly reproduced in each car. And quality in all — from a quilted skin of seats to ceramic brake disks. In addition, it means also that Bentley GT Speed — imagine! — the car on every day. Including winter day! This precisely will not collapse. Also will not shake pechenku: the pneumosuspension bracket provides rather worthy smoothness of a course. It is the same way adjusted and not very quick six-step “automatic machine” ZF 6HP26 — even in a sports mode it works with a disposition to laziness. And, of course, spacious four-seater salon and a capacious luggage carrier. And 285 thousand euro to measures superkarov — quite adequate price. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Behind to distinguish Continental GT Speed from less powerful colleague Continental GT it is possible only on ridge branch pipes of final system
Now we will wind off a film back. Usual Bentley GT Continental its maximum speed — 318 km/h leads up a scarlet arrow of precisely same speedometer to 100 km/h for 4,8 with, and. The difference with GT Speed is insignificant! And if to speak about these mayoshinah with reference to our roads it and is at all insignificant. Whether moreover fill in in Bentley GT Speed benzinchik hardly worse … So there was a sense to potter with motor modernisation, anew to adjust a suspension bracket and a steering? |

| Out of any doubts. After all Bentley Continental GT it is not so young: five years old. And easy factory tuning will help to support interest to it for some time. After all the phrase «at me the fastest Bentley» in known circles of the expensive costs. Besides it is possible to order an aluminium decor of the forward panel, non-standard colouring of a body and many other things: in factory branch Mulliner (it that remains from is no time known kuzovnoj firms) will execute any whim. But it is better to consult to knowing people. Local magicians are ready to tell with ecstasy why, for example, to green kamberlendskoj the skin accepts salon furnish dark morenym a nut more… But on me if it is fair, and the dark nut is good, and light is not worse at all. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Pride of engineers — the monitoring system of pressure most advanced, as they said, in tyres. Clever electronics allows not only to watch pressure of air in all tyres, but also warns the driver about excess of admissible speed of movement for the given type of tyres and the established pressure
And here optsionnye ceramic brakes is in an adult way! Probably, it is the most powerful brakes among serial four-seaters: diameter of forward disks of 420 mm, and back — 356 mm. And if it is dispersed GT Speed stately and measuredly brakes on-superkarovski — since any speed. In England for such brakes ask about 10 thousand pounds sterling (about 20 thousand dollars). Disks serve as much, how many the car, and wear resistance brake kolodok twice above the usual. And still such brakes on 20 kg reduce nepodressorennye weights. Initially six-step box ZF 6HP26 has been developed for Bentley, and only after it have started to put both on Audi, and on Maserati, and on BMW. That “automatic machine” could cope with the twisting moment which has increased to 750 Nanometer, its most loaded knots should be strengthened. Besides, anew otkalibrovany electronic “brains” though rather sports “automatic machine” nevertheless did not become: even in a sports mode it is lazy to switch transfers quickly and accurately. However angyolichane assure that soft work of a box — not accident: «We could make and« the automatic machine »is quicker, and the steering« is heavier », and the motor is more aggressive. But it was important to keep spirit of mark. It not Lamborghini. It Bentley». The modernised box carries an index 6HP26-A61. All-wheel drive transmission of audit was not exposed (in usual conditions a twisting moment is distributed between forward and back wheels fifty-fifty) Right direction: it is necessary not only increase muscles, but also to dump weight. And if Bentley Continental GT following generation becomes both less, and it is easier, … Then it can be let out safely on a formular line. It is possible and is necessary! Because on usual roads I will not take out the second torture by speed. |

GT Speed it is good in any execution — both with light, and with a dark interior. The majority of options well and to buyers of “mass” compartment Continental GT: diamond-shaped a prostitch of the leather upholstery, the firm emblem embroidered on seats, the punched aluminium pedals, rugs from the sheep wool in tone of a covering of a floor …
