I have always fancied a Bentley,
but out here the roads, specifically where we sometimes go fishing makes a car with not much road clearance a little bit unpractical, but now Bentley has the answer, unveiled at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show the new Bentley EXP 9 F will change all of that, sporting 23" wheels it should go anywhere, especially with its 6.0L, twin-turbocharged W12 engine mated to an eight-speed transmission,
there will of course be smaller engines for those short of a bit of cash to buy the real thing, a 4.0L twin-turbocharged V8 and plug-in hybrid variant is also in development according to Bentley, it is Bentley's first 4x4 vehicle – with a top speed of 185mph what more could the Chelsea set want? but enough of this down to the nitty gritty, did I mention how much? well it is rumoured it will go on sale from 2015 at around £140,000, all I have to do now is chose a colour!
also unveiled at the show a new fast car, faster even than the Ferrari F12 Berlinetta I featured on the blog a few days ago, the Lamborghini Aventador J, it's based on the standard Aventador LP700-4, replete with that 6.5-litre 700bhp V12 and permanent four-wheel-drive, the standard Aventador's 0-62mph time of 2.9 seconds, a bit quicker than the Ferrari, but the new J will be quicker than that as it has no roof, air conditioning and windscreen, so it is lighter than the standard 1,575kg Aventador coupe, oh the agony of choice, but wait a second the Lambo for town the Bentley for fishing, now where did I put my cheque book!
