Thumbs up [PICS] Meet the 3 fastest Bentleys in the world

I went to this event last weekend where I got to drive the Bentley Continental GT V8 and Bentley Continental GT Speed (W12) cars up to Blenheim Palace and back:

The three fastest Bentleys in the world are touring the UK and they’re approaching fast.

If you're in the right place at the right time, you'll see the Bentley Speed 8, the actual Sebring 24 hours winning car and sister car to the 2003 Le Mans winner, the only Bentley GT3 concept car in existence that heralds Bentley's return to Motorsport and the latest Bentley Continental GT Speed, the fastest production Bentley ever. Better still, you'll be close enough to touch them.

These three awesome cars are due to be at Bentley Pangbournes open viewing event from the 12th March. This is your chance to see them in the flesh and get behind the wheel of the Continental GT Speed yourself.
A truly fantastic day and we were thoroughly spoilt by Bentley in Pangbourne. They even arranged for a private tour of the Duke of Marlborough’s Private Apartments!

The V8 sounded great with it's sports exhaust and the W12 sounded even better (especially on the overrun in my opinion). Fantastic machines that I encourage those that can to go and try out!

Here are some of my pictures from the day:





























A huge thankyou to Claus and the rest of the Bentley in Pangbourne team for a wonderful day out!!

I'll speculate that if it didn't, that suspension has one hell of a rebound stiffness setting...

(Or there was a big block of something stuffed in the engine bay)

Curious for you UK Bentley guys, are Bentleys comparatively cheaper than here in the US? Me thinks for shipping and taxes Bentleys cost more here.
