Wheelsandmore Bentley Continental Ultrasports 702

If you're looking for power, you need look no farther than the Bentley Continental GT and its 550 horses. Not enough? There's the Speed version with over 600 horsepower. Still not enough? Bentley's got you covered with the 620-horsepower Supersports, the fastest, most powerful model they've ever produced. But for the truly power-hungry, there's the Ultrasports 702.

Created by German tuning house Wheelsandmore, the Ultrasports 702, as you might have guessed, offers 702 horsepower on tap, along with 650 lb-ft of torque (compared to the stock Supersports' 590), coaxed out of the enormous 6-liter W12 twin-turbo by an upgrade to the engine control unit and a new exhaust system. Wheelsandmore has also fitted its package with 21-inch modular rims on Dunlop Sport Maxx tires and an electronically adjustable suspension.

Custom luxury and performance automobiles come from around the world, with some of the best hailing from such locations as Germany, Japan and Italy. Ireland may not be the first place that comes to mind, but Onyx Concept is working to change that with the release of their new Platinum GTO.

Starting with the Bentley Continental GT, Onyx has boosted output up from 553 horsepower to beyond 640, mounted a new sport suspension and fitted 22-inch wheels. A full body kit gives the Platinum GTO a new front end – complete with LED daytime running lights and a carbon fiber splitter – while around back there's a decklid spoiler and diffuser also made from carbon fiber.

No pricing has been announced, but deliveries are expected to begin next month.

Coachbuilder Carrozzeria Touring Superleggera to Launch Bentley Continental Shooting Brake in Geneva

Filed under: Luxury Cars & Autos

Earlier this month, we first heard of rumors that coachbuilder Carrozzeria Touring Superleggera planned to introduce a new bespoke version of the Bentley Continental GT. Now, we know that those rumors are confirmed and the vehicle in question will be an interesting shooting brake that will bow at the Geneva Motor Show early next month.

Only 20 three-door estates are planned, and they'll reportedly be built atop the buyer's choice of a regular Continental GT or an uplevel Continental GT Speed. This will be the company's first product based on a vehicle from Bentley, though past models included the likes of Ferrari, Aston Martin and Lamborghini.

We don't have many details on the actual car other than the teaser sketch above and news that there will be two rear seats that will fold independently, making for what we can only assume will be the World's Most Luxurious Six-Foot Luggage Parcel. An electrically operated folding tailgate is also on the menu.

Coming Attractions: Bentley Continental GTC Supersports Spied

Filed under: Luxury Cars & Autos, Green

Really, it was only a matter of time before spy photos of the Bentley Continental GTC Supersports made the rounds. After all, there was never really any doubt that the German-owned maker of high-end luxury cars would eventually cut the top off its latest sportster, in this case powered by the most powerful production version of the automaker's 6.0-liter W12 powerplant in history.

For those that like to keep track of such things, this would be the eighth derivative of the Continental platform – the others being the GT coupe, GTC cabrio, Flying Spur sedan, Speed versions of each and the Supersports coupe. If it does indeed see the light of day, expect the GTC Supersports to boast a similar weight reduction as the coupe (243 pounds, in that case) along with carbon ceramic brakes and the deletion of the rear seats. Oh, and flex-fuel capability... at some point.
