    Received a teaser video from Bentley that (eventually) shows just the hood and a front fender (wing) in silhouette. Looks pretty interesting! Hope the rest of it doesn't look as garish as the new Jaguar XJ replacement that resembles a stretched XF.

    Anybody have photos of the new Bentley?

    A "Mule",real car will have all new styling,floorpan,interior and old engine from the Brookland.
    Not a "updated" or "refreshed" design but an all new car with extensive use of aluminum and technology to significantly lower the curb weight.
    Still a very conservative styling,immediately recognizable as a "real Bentley".

    Remember, the Arnage replacement has been in development for quite some time now, Bentley knows the challenge they have going against the new baby Rolls.

    It's not the car we're chastizing. It's the pompous website.

    Ok, so noted. I digress and your "pictures found on Getty images" comment actually made me laugh. But, anyone remember when the 2002 Arnage T came out? I do.
    Think back to the '02 model year and cars that were offered then. The Arnage T had NO equal. 6.75l twin-turbo V8, 450bhp, 645 torques, 80% of which are available at less than 2,000rpms and on to a top speed of 171mph in a 5,700lb curb-weigh luxo-barge!! Are you kidding me!?
    I have to believe (want to believe) they can do it again.
    As per the ad, how do you humbly say you intend to build the best car in the world?

    If that is the real car, I'd rather have a Turbo R.
