    the overall style of the car is lovely. The details are horrible though.

    The front is... interesting, but somehow... I really like it. From the side, it just looks like an elongated Brooklands. That somehow doens't click for me though... too simple. Back... well that is a Brooklands.

    The side profile and the rear is very good.

    The front is very awkward, with the bug eyes and the awkward bumper.

    I'd rather have a Continental GT Flying Spur.

    I'm sure they depreciate quite a bit.

    The rear looks like a Maybach.

    I haven't heard many of you answer; is it better than the Arnage?

    Since the auction is in the US I'm guessing US dollars. Then again stranger things have happened.

    I'm pretty sure it still has the same 6 and 3/4 twin turbo V12 from one of her majesty's aircraft carriers.

    About the styling, I think it's good although maybe not as great as I had hoped it would be. The teaser photos gave it a lot of sharp, complex lines that I can't see as much on the actual car. None the less, what I love about it is that it looks unmistakeably British (unlike the German-designed Continental) while being distinctly different from a Rolls-Royce. I think it's safe to call this the first car Bentley have designed on their own since they were deviously acquired by Rolls Royce in 1931. That's why I think it's design is a success and like it more than the Arnage.

    The 6.75L is a V8

    And the Continental GT was the first car Bentley designed under VW ownership.
    Under RR ownership they've designed many cars unique to Bentley, going back to for example the 1952 R-type continental. (From which the front end head light set up is derived)

    To be honest, it looks like a bad chop, I'd much rather take an old Arnage T. Something has really gone wrong with the headlights though, who on earth allowed them? And what the hell is that spammer doing? This isn't 4chan.

    My bad on the engine.

    What I meant to imply about the Continetal is that it looks like it was designed by VW, not by men in Crewe with tweed jackets (as this does).
