First Drive: 2008 Bentley Continental GT Speed

2008 Bentley Continental GT Speed

Even more Bentley. If the 552-hp, 198-mph Continental GT didn't quite cut it for you, try the 602-hp, 202-mph GT Speed.

At $206,285 and a 0-60 time of 4.3 seconds. That's only $47,973.25 per second or $342.66 per horse. You probably can't buy a real horse for that little.

How does a 2 door coupe with a small interior get to weigh 5200lbs?
Isn't that illegal to park on side streets in LA? I know in Santa Monica there are weight restrictions posted intended to keep commercial vehicles of them...

yea you would think a car that expensive would have some sort of weight saving

Funny thing is, the government declared this car the "Least Fuel Efficient Compact Car".

I wonder how all those rich folks feel driving a cramped compact.

I have a feeling a Bently owner doesn't care much about fuel efficiency. ;-)

My issue in not with mpg, no-one with the $ to get oneof these things would care. But the weight, oi! Seriously, what's in the trunk? Ahnold's barbells? Wile Coyote's anvil collection? Rosie O'Donnell?....
