#Continental GT Limited Edition

[diabolus1exmachina]

Bentley Mulliner Bacalar (1 of 12). 

Bentley’s Mulliner division is bringing something very close to traditional coachbuilding back. The 2021 Bentley Mulliner Bacalar is a stunning roofless barchetta based on the Continental GT Convertible, but with completely different bodywork. Mulliner maked 12 of the Bacalar, all of which have already been sold to the sort of ultra-rich buyers who flock to such ultra-limited editions. However, the company says this is just a toe in the water for what is set to become a growing part of its business. Bacalar shares all of its substructure and mechanical package with the Continental GT Convertible, but the aluminium and carbon-fibre bodywork is all new.

But the concept sits on the same GTC underpinnings, meaning a 484kW version of Bentley’s 6.0-litre W12 engine with drive dispatched to all four corners through a twin-clutch gearbox.

Bentley reckons the Bacalar is fastest-ever open-topped road car, estimating a 0–100km/h time of 3.5 seconds and a top speed of over 320km/h.

Bentley’s twin-clutch transmission can deliver lightning fast changes, but it is also adept at replicating torque converter smoothness at lower speeds. It  be possible to travel very quickly in the Bacalar, but gentle is going to suit it better.

Royal Enfield's Next Iconic Bike in 2024

In 2021 Milan Show, Royal Enfield has introduced the concept of SG650 Twin in EICMA show, SG Means shotgun, Royal Enfield's biggest surprise at this year's Motoverse in Goa was the unveiling of the new Shotgun 650. May 2024 is anticipated to see the launch of the Royal Enfield Shotgun 650 in India, with a projected price range of ₹ 3,00,000 to ₹ 3,50,000.The idea motorcycle's design features include a single floating-style seat, a short tubular handlebar, bar-end mirrors, chopped front and rear fender sections, and chunky tires. Additional styling references include the front end's polished aluminum finish in a classic manner and the fuel tank's digital graphics, which resemble modern motorcycles. Additionally, the 650cc parallel-twin engine has computerized graphics installed and Royal Enfield's next bobber-styled motorcycle will probably be built around this design.

A CNC billet machine fuel tank, wheels constructed of a solid aluminum block with integrated ABS, dual disc brakes at the front, upside-down front forks, and a hand-stitched black leather seat completed the concept motorbike. However, the final production model will be far more subdued.

Although the mechanical specs are currently unknown, we anticipate that they will be comparable to those of the Continental GT 650 and the Interceptor INT 650. The 648cc parallel-twin engine of the Continental GT 650 and the Interceptor INT 650 produces 52Nm of peak torque at 5,250 rpm and 47bhp at 7,250 rpm.

The paint scheme and graphics on this bike are unique to this edition, which will be limited to only 25 units. The production model will have more traditional graphics and paint schemes.RE claims that every unit of this bike has been customized over the course of months.

is that better than 650cc bikes in Royal Enfield series?

Although Royal Enfield has not revealed the bike's technical specifications, we do know that it is powered by the same 649cc parallel-twin engine that powers other 650s like the Interceptor 650.

The main chassis resembles that of the Super Meteor 650, but the rest of the cycle parts and overall geometry of the Shotgun differ to provide a unique riding experience. Currently on the market, the Royal Enfield Super Meteor 650, Royal Enfield Interceptor 650, and Kawasaki Vulcan S are bikes that resemble the Shotgun 650. The BSA Gold Star, which will go on sale in India in December 2024, is another motorcycle that resembles the Shotgun 650.

Royal Enfield Shotgun 650 Motoverse edition priced at Rs 3.50 lakh :

At the event, the company displayed the Motoverse edition of the bike, which will be limited to only 25 units. This first batch of special edition Shotguns will be sold to 25 lucky Motoverse attendees for Rs 3.50 lakh (ex-showroom). This iteration is essentially a preview of the Shotgun 650's simpler and possibly more affordable production version.

The Shotgun 650 is based on the SG650 concept, which RE unveiled at the EICMA show in Milan in 2021. The Motoverse edition of the bike is distinguished by custom-designed, hand-painted body panels with gradient-style graphics.Notably, each of the 25 Shotgun 650 Motoverse trim units was custom-built over months and will never be produced again. While RE refers to it as a neo-retro roadster, the single-seat version resembles a bobber. However, a pillion seat will be available as an option.

Mechanically, the Shotgun 650 is similar to the Super Meteor 650, but it has a few differences, such as different wheels and overall geometry. Even the ergonomics of the Shotgun are distinct from those of other RE 650s. The engine is visually the same 649cc, air/oil-cooled, parallel-twin cylinder engine found in other RE 650s. This engine produces 47bhp and 52Nm and is mated to a six-speed transmission. We believe the brand has slightly altered the tuning of this motor for the Shotgun in order to match its personal preferences.

The Royal Enfield Shotgun 650 Motoverse edition will be delivered in January 2024, followed by the production model's debut in Europe and India.

Limited Edition Continental GT to Celebrate Pike’s Peak Record

Bentley has announced details of a striking Continental GT Limited Edition that celebrates a record-breaking automotive achievement from earlier in the British marque’s centenary year.  The run of special coupes is restricted to just 15 examples and honors Bentley’s accomplishment at the demanding International Hill Climb event in the USA in June.

The world’s finest Grand Tourer shaved an impressive 8.4 seconds off the existing record for the 12.42-mile course in Colorado, making it the fastest production car ever at Pikes Peak. Driven by three-time champion, former ‘King of the Mountain’ Rhys Millen, the W12-powered Continental GT climbed almost 5,000 ft through 156 bends in just ten minutes, 18.4 seconds.

The new Limited Edition is distinguished by a carbon fiber body kit and eye-catching Radium by Mulliner paintwork, mirroring the color scheme used on the record-breaking car. Gloss black detailing has also been added to the front lower bumper inserts, roof panel, wing mirrors and rear surfaces.

Acid Green brake disc calipers, Pirelli P Zero Color Edition tires in Radium Finish and a Pikes Peak decal to the front bumper hint at the Limited Edition’s record-breaking lineage, while 22-inch Mulliner Driving Specification wheels in Gloss Black are standard. An optional ‘100’ grille is a reminder that the Continental GT’s impressive hill climb achievement took place in Bentley’s centenary year.

Inside the cabin, Alcantara with contrasting Radium thread stitching adorns much of the soft trim areas, matched with Beluga secondary hide. The steering wheel features a honeycomb stitching design and a center stripe both in Radium, as per the Pikes Peak GT race car. Carbon fiber fascias and wasitrails are complemented by a Piano Black center console, all adding to the sporting theme. The passenger-side fascia features a graphic showing a section of the Pikes Peak track, with five different graphics being used across the 15-car run, along with the record-setting time of 10:18.488.

Pikes Peak embroidery to the seat headrests in Radium stitching, Pikes Peak treadplates and exclusive B&O speaker covers in Black Anodized and Radium finish further enhance the interior appeal. The Continental GT’s luxurious cabin includes the ground-breaking Bentley Rotating Display, deep pile overmats and Front Seat Comfort Specification.

Like the Continental GT that broke the Pikes Peak record earlier this year, this new model features the world’s most advanced 12-cylinder petrol engine in the twin-turbocharged Bentley W12. This mighty engine develops 626 bhp and 900 Nm of torque, effortlessly accelerating the Continental GT from 0-100 km/h in 3.7 seconds (0-60 mph in 3.6 seconds), with a top speed of 333 km/h (207 mph).

The celebratory model is available to order from December 2019.

Car Week Reveals

Monterey Car Week is the premier North American car event as we have pointed out repeatedly and the world’s automakers certainly see it that way as Car Week often serves as the North American reveal of new models or special editions.  This year will be no different as several special reveals will occur as well as celebrations of certain automotive milestones.   We suspect that this list may grow in the coming days as more information starts to come out related to Car Week events.

Lamborghini

One of the featured classes of the Pebble Beach Concours will be a celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Lamborhini Countach. Yes, hard to believe that the Countach was unveiled 50 years ago. Adding further celebration to this milestone Lamborghini will unveil a new hybrid Countach, the Countach LPI 800-4.

Aston Martin:

Aston Martin will be returning to Monterey Car Week to celebrate its 70th anniversary since the brand entered the American market.  Aston Martin will host an event at the Pebble Beach.   The Aston Martin Club 1913 located on the 18th Fairway of the Pebble Beach Gold Course will be open for guest to  view a display that celebrates the return of Aston Martin to F1 and will celebrate its connection with the James Bond franchise.  Aston Martin will also unveil the Aston Martin Valkyrie Roadster and as “debut a new product from the brand which extends the company’s performance credentials a step further.”

Pagani:

Pagani will celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Huayra with the reveal of the Pacheco Tempesta package the Quail.  The modifications increase engine power and add some minor design details.

Bringing a strong contingent to Car Week, BMW will be bringing some heat.  Expected to be revealed are the new BMW M5 CS, Alpina B8 Gran Coupe, I4 and iX.  It will also serve as the world premiere of the M4 Competition conversation and the first M3 and M4 models with all-wheel drive.

Audi:

The four rings will debut a concept designed to convey their vision for the future known as the Sky Sphere.   Details are minimal other than the name sounding like the next iteration of the James Bond franchise.

Pininfarina

The production-ready Pininfarina Battista electric hypercar that was first shown as a prototype at the 2019 Geneva International Motorshow will make its North American debut. The Battista is powered by a 1,877-hp from Rimac made up of four electric motors with a 0-60 time of under 2.0 seconds.

Bentley

The luxury brand will debut several development prototypes called the Blower Continuation Series and the Bently Mulliner Bacalar projects. Car Week will also host the public debuts of the new Bentayga S and the Continental GT Speed Convertible. Both the Bacalar and Blower Series are limited to 12 units each. The Blower model is the first to be produced by the factor since 1930. What does all of this mean? We have no idea, but it’s all the more reason to go check it out.
