2014 Bentley Continental GT Speed still fastest Bentley ever, but now faster than before

By Trevor Dermody Published February 25, 2014

Bentley is the king of today’s super luxury market, and the folks over in Crewe have rolled up their sleeves and cranked out yet another fastest-ever production Bentley.

The aptly named 2014 Continental GT Speed screeches through the British countryside with 626 horsepower and 605 pound-feet of torque. This mighty power allows the trusty W12 twin-turbo 6.0-liter engine to rocket the GT Speed to 206 mph in coupe form and 203 mph if you prefer to go topless convertible. Whichever you choose, I would make sure to bring some goggles for the ride.

In order to tame this wild machine, Bentley has stiffened up the chassis and lowered the suspension. Bentley has also added a dark tint to the wheels, headlights, and taillights and painted the brake calipers red to add important style points to your deathly quick-wheeled landship.

As though Bentley couldn’t offer more color options for both the interior and exterior, the good ol’ chaps have managed to squeeze some more options from the crayon box for the new model year with a special candy red offered exclusively for the GT Speed.

The 2014 GT Speed interior features a unique color option, with contrasting-color doors, rear panels, fascia wings, inner console and gear lever. Contrast stitching is also an offered for the diamond-pattern seats and doors, and chrome speed-badges are an option if you need some bling for your butt.

Bentley has stepped up its game for the 2014 GT Speed. Other luxury sports car brands should either run for cover or make straight for the drawing board. Bentley has already emerged as the most popular kid on the block and it doesn’t appear to be privy to losing the trophy.

Mini’s infotainment system is very charming, but still needs work

Main screen of the Mini infotainment system

When you think Mini, you probably don’t think of infotainment. Personally, I think of the British flag taillights, the distinct exterior, and the surprising room on the inside. But after driving the Mini John Cooper Works Countryman over the past week, infotainment might well be something I think of more often when it comes to Mini. It’s charming.

It also, however, suffers from all the traps that other legacy automakers fall into when it comes to software design. Mini has something on its hands here — but it still needs some work.
Bringing the charm
The first thing that stood out to me about the system when I got in the car was how fun it was. That all starts with the display. It’s round! No, it’s not curved — the screen is a big, round display sits in at 9.4 inches, and I found it plenty large enough for day-to-day use.

Plug-in hybrids are becoming more popular. Why? And will it continue?

There's a lot of talk about the idea that the growth in electric car sales has kind of slowed a little. It's not all that surprising -- EVs are still expensive, early adopters all have one by now, and they're still new enough to where there aren't too many ultra-affordable used EVs available. But plenty of people still want a greener vehicle, and that has given rise to an explosion in hybrid vehicle sales.

That's especially true of plug-in hybrid vehicles, which can be charged like an EV and driven in all-electric mode for short distances, and have a gas engine as a backup for longer distances or to be used in combination with electric mode for more efficient driving.

Nearly all current owners of electric vehicles (EVs) are either satisfied or very satisfied with the experience, and 92% of them plan to buy another EV, according to a survey by the Global EV Drivers Alliance.

The survey of 23,000 EV drivers worldwide found that only 1% would return to a petrol or diesel car, while 4% would opt for a plug-in hybrid (PHEV) if they had to replace their car.
