2009 Bentley Continental Flying Spur Speed


The new Bentley Continental Flying Spur is more comfortable, more refined, and more opportunities for customer personalization. It is the most powerful four door saloon in the world with a V12 twin turbo engine. Which produces 600 hp and 553 lb-ft torque. It goes from 0-60 mph in 4.9 seconds and has top speed of 195 mph. Which is really not the purpose of this car. The purpose of the car is to ride in style and let everyone know you have money to buy something like. Instead of buying a Ferrari you buy this because you have kids and a wife, meaning you need a car that has more than 2 seats. This car is more than expected when you find out what kind of features the British manufacturer Bentley offers you. Park distance control system with new graphics on infotainment screen, new, follow-to-stop precision radar-based Adaptive Cruise Control with five time-gap settings, new optional full width rear seat with electrically adjustable outboard positions and fixed central seat, and there is just too much to list.

Power bhp: 600

Type: V12 Twin-Turbo 6.0L

Performance
Acceleration 0-60 mph: 4.9 Seconds

ASI Tetsu GTR: Flower Power


The Bentley ASI Tetsu GTR, is a Japanese-modified Bentley Continental GT, that proves it's not only the Europeans who have bad taste in accesorizing their cars.

I'm not sure what offends me the most about the Tetsu. Is it the awful R8-mimicking rear end with DTM-spec rear wing? Maybe it's the jarring juxt aposition of the carbon-fibre bonnet with flower decals, which is apparently the work of renowned Japanese artist Nakamura Tetsui.

Which doesn't make it any more acceptable.

ASI has fettled an extra 250bhp from the Conti's six-litre W12 engine - bringing overall power to a nice round 800bhp - but doesn't specify how. Alchemy and witchcraft, perhaps. Over all the Tetsu is just one ugly car, that looks like it was designed by a crack head on lsd.

2008 Volkswagen GTI W12

The Volkswagen GTI W12, is by far the best car Volkswagen has made. It is the widest GTI made, with the biggest engine. It comes with a V12 engine, but how could it fit into such a small car you might ask. Well it goes at the back of your head, instead of the passenger seats. This car has the looks the speed and it delivers what it promises.

Engine
Power bhp: 650
Torque lb-ft: 554
Type: Bi-Turbo W12

Performance
Acceleration 0-60 mph: 3.7 seconds
Top Speed: 202 mph
