Got a lot of money, will tune … Bentley Continental GT Ultrasports 702 by Wheelsandmore
May 2, 2010
Being an exclusive brand doesn’t save you from tuners; there’s almost always room for improvement. Even some of the world’s most exclusive brands don’t get away with it, think Bentley and here’s proof.
The Continental GT is probably one of the most successful models to ever carry the flying B logo, just take a drive in any of the world’s top cities and you will definately have a tough time keeping up with the sheer number of the Bentley coupe. So with such a large number of these cars ferrying rich people and their massive ego’s, it’s no wonder then that the car is a darling among tuners as rich folk would pay any amount to have their car customized to their personal taste because god forbid they be seen in the same car as another person.
Here’s a fine example of customization and tuning by German specialist “wheelsandmore” who has just released a new package with performance mods for the GT.
Because being visually different is never enough and smoking the other dude in the same car is almost essential, Wheelandmore got down to modifying the vehicle’s ECU and adding a sports exhaust system and a new sport catalyst. This resulted in a power output of a massive 702hp and 650lb-ft of torque, and ultimately a new top speed of 336km/h.
Other performance and ride enhancements include lightweight three-piece 21-inch alloy wheels wrapped in Dunlop Sport Maxx tyres, massive carbon-ceramic brakes as well as a new electronic lowering kit.
So if you own a Bentley Continental GT, this is really the way to go if you despise seeing another dude in the same car as you.
Boring black again. You can’t really make out a shiny charcoal and a matt charcoal. They burn the same.
if you polish a turd, it will shine
