It's the latest super-special edition from Bentley and their bespoke division Mulliner. But where do you go after fly-fishing or falconry? On a yacht, of course. It's the Bentley Continental GT Convertible Galene Edition by Mulliner. While that name is a bit of a mouthful, call it the Bentley Galene. It's named after the Greek goddess of calm se

NAPA VALLEY, CA – The rising sun has already burned off most of the valley’s early morning fog, limning the clouds with gold. Gently rolling hills fall behind us as we purr past the vineyards like oiled silk, enveloped in a blissful state of well-being. Swanning around California wine country in a nearly $300,000 Bentley Continental convertible, I

It's the latest super special Bentley by Mulliner. Once again, Mulliner has gone to extremes to show off just how personalized they can make a Bentley product. This time it's for field sports enthusiasts, aka hunters.  Mulliner is Bentley's personal commissioning division. That's what you call the customization department when you're dealing wit

PALO ALTO, California– “Fog rolls in on little cat feet” and so do we, whisper quiet, through the tree-lined streets of Atherton California, a Silicon Valley bedroom community with the highest median house prices in the country. The intense sun has burned off most of the Bay area’s infamous fog but in this shady enclave, everything is cool serenity

PORTLAND, Oregon – No sooner had we merged on the I-84 E out of Portland, did we come perilously close to being crushed between an oversize load and the concrete centre median. Thanks to a combination of good brakes and dumb luck, we came to a quick stop while the oblivious transport driver continued on – in our lane. To say that we were relieved w

Even when you’re a high-flying, uber-luxury brand you’re always having to keep up with the Jones'. Bentley releases the Bentayga SUV, Rolls Royce responds with the Cullinan. Bentley releases the Continental GT, Rolls comes back – albeit quite some time later – with the Wraith. And so the dance goes on, and on, and on. Now, with pressure from the

Bentley has introduced just their 12th concept car in nearly 100 years and they expect this one to really generate a charge. The Bentley EXP 12 Speed 6e is an open top, two-seat electric grand tourer. The new roadster has inductive charging, because a Bentley owner doesn't want to worry about handling dirty plugs. But it can be plugged in to cha

Late last year, Bentley unveiled an all-new third-generation Continental GT. And now the open-roof convertible version is here to offer up the same 626 hp and a top speed over 330 km/h. Under the hood of the Continental GT Convertible is the 6.0L W12 that powers the hardtop GT. That means 626 hp and 664 lb-ft of torque. Enough, the company says,

British prestige car maker Bentley has detailed what it calls its first four-door model that can crack the rarefied 200 mph barrier (a bit more than 320 km/h) in the Flying Spur W12 S. As the W12 label suggests, the new flagship of the Flying Spur line uses the same 6.0L, twin-turbo W12 engine (it's essentially two Volkswagen narrow-angle V6 mot

Special editions with an "outdoorsy" flavour have been a tried and true luxury SUV tradition for decades. Some of the most notable being the Orvis Jeep Grand Cherokee of the late '90s, Eddie Bauer Fords, and on a more exclusive level the Holland and Holland Range Rovers complete with shotguns and a bar in the boot. With the Bentayga , Bentley's

Is a 6.0L W12 engine enough to be our autoTRADER.ca Find of the Week? How about a four-seat convertible that originally sold for more than $300,000? What if it was owned by one of the biggest Canadian musicians today? And he made it famous in a YouTube video? That's exactly what we have this week. A 2011 Bentley Continental Supersports convertible

Bentley has released details on its first-ever hybrid model, a plug-in version of the Bentayga SUV, which is set for a full reveal at this week's Geneva auto show. We suspect it's Bentley's generous opinion of itself that led it to claim the Bentayga as the "world's first luxury hybrid;" there are already several upscale hybrids available from a

Even as the bell tolls for the Rolls-Royce Phantom, the latest variant of the Bentley Mulsanne sallies forth, larger and more powerful than ever. Behind the scenes, the parent companies of BMW and the Volkswagen Auto Group ready their biggest and most powerful dreadnoughts in a set piece battle for the wallets of the wealthy. First, it's the lon

To most automakers, the sport part of sport utility vehicle means the occasional dirt road, and maybe a kayak or a bike rack on top. To Mulliner, Bentley's customization division, the sports are as luxurious as the vehicles. Forget about bike racks on the trailer hitch, this year's special has three falcon perches, including one in the centre conso
