This isn't your Grampa's Bentley...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bentle...SR_.282011-.29
"The car has 0 to 100 kilometres per hour (0.0 to 62.1 mph) acceleration of 3.7 seconds, 0 to 160 kilometres per hour (0.0 to 99.4 mph) acceleration of 8.9 seconds, top speed of 329 kilometres per hour (204.4 mph), making it the fastest and the most powerful production Bentley ever. The Supersports is already known as the best handling Bentley. Bentley says the supersports can deliver 1.29 g forces on a 300-foot (91 m) skid pad."
"The first Bentley capable of running on both petrol (gasoline) and biofuel (E85 ethanol), its 6.0 litre W12 engine was rated 630 PS (463 kW; 621 bhp) at 6,000 rpm and 800 N·m (590 lbf·ft) at 1,700-5,600 rpm - using either fuel." (The ISR car has 631 BHP.)
How many other cars can deliver these types of numbers? Your Gramps would be proud.

If I ever inherited a factory in China that sells to Wal-Mart, I would buy a used RR Ghost ($120k, MSRP $250k) or a Ferrari California ($100k, MSRP $200k). Never buy new even when I'm rich.

I wonder how much this little nugget will set you back?

There are so many Bentleys with beautiful interiors that it's kind of disappointing to see one with such an unattractive one. I hate the red carbon fibre, find it ergonomically poorly designed with most of the controls "hidden" behind the gear shifter, and really dislike everything except the seats, which are very nice (I'm doing something like this for my Pantera restoration). For me, it just doesn't have that look of opulence that you expect of a quarter million dollar car!

On a funny note, this one is still available for you, I think it was listed at $74.9K then, and now... Used 2012 Jaguar XK For Sale | Latham NY

Holly crap. They'll never sell the car for that price.
