In the opulently appointed world of Bentley Motors, the GT Continental has always been the bristling high-performance model. Its recently unveiled GT Speed is the most powerful and fastest Bentley ever built (626 horsepower/206 mph), while the GT3-R edition has been dubbed its quickest (0-60 mph in just 3.6 seconds). So where does that leave […]
When it comes to the luxurious world of Aston Martin, the 2015 V8 Vantage GT comes in on the surprisingly affordable side. For the first time since you could buy a house for a grand, the gentlem delivers a vehicle with a sticker price under six figures: the V8 Vantage GT will start at “just” $99,500. Upgrades […]
