    It was the first Mercedes that I’ve thought of after you’ve mentioned that poping out Sat Nav. Good choice of picking the C63 AMG.

    leo is a bore…… give him his own show.

    they didn’t say or confirm how much power it has, so why do you say that it needs more power if you don’t know the true specs of the car?

    also, if it gets the same 310hp 3.4L from the Boxster S, then no, it doesn’t need more power. 310hp is just right for something under 3,000lbs and just enough performance that doesn’t make it faster than the 911.

  13. Elmo187 says:

    wow, you must be t43boss’ boyfriend i’m guessing from the way you’re hanging on his nuttsack trying to insult me.

  14. Elmo187 says:

    all the Flying Spur is is a damn Continental GT with 4 doors. meaning, it weighs just over 100lbs than the CGT. therefore, MAKING IT LIGHTER THAN THE ARNAGE/BROOKLANDS. which would help the Flying Spur do what? that’s right, make it have quicker 0-60s.

    also, torque doesn’t make the car go quicker. torque gets the car moving, horsepower keeps it moving faster.

    oh and the Arnage Final Series does have 500hp and 738ft. lbs. of torque.

  15. mondeost2202008 says:

    Well…. You’re right. That is what a bentley should be but remember that we are in the 21st century. The car wouldn’t be worth the price if it lacks the technology It’s competitors have especially because compared to Rolls Royce, Bentleys are drivers cars. Hiding the nav is one way of keeping it’s british simplicity while still keeping the car as modern as possible. You cannot understand the purpose if you compare the nav of the bentley to the nav of your merc.

    You have the C class?

  16. TandemDawgBMG says:

    why do u watch the show, go watch fred or someone they’re down on ur level

  17. emericanskater88 says:

    that new Porsche is hot. but it needs more power

  18. Elmo187 says:

    thank you, Captain Obvious. if it weren’t for you, i would of never known my name was Elmo. same goes for calling me fat.

    you’re very observant, you know that?

    what’s with all the anger? you claim hate for someone you don’t even know and now you’re blatently getting angry over a simple question.

    so answer the question…

    why do you continue to watch the show if you have so much hate for the guy?

  19. t43boss says:

    dude, your name is elmo. you’re an idiot and annoying don’t try to address me ever again, fat ***.

  20. cyerbyandmarge says:

    how can you say torque will not move a car quicker? have you lost your mind?

  21. cyerbyandmarge says:

    what about the flying spur? it has over 200 LESS lb ft of torque and it does it in 4.8… and the arnage only has 450 hp and 645 ftlb torque. that proves that its verry likely to see 0-60 times less than 5 sec. How can you disagree with that?

  22. starstarstar42 says:

    Gonna miss Zagato. The man created more wet dreams than Jenna Jamison. Dio sia con te, Senor Zagato.

    Hey Derek D, tuck your shirt in you 5’4″ brown smurf. Geez, show some respect.

  23. Elmo187 says:

    50hp isn’t going to make that much of a difference if Bentley added weight to the Mulsanne, which is what they did.

    Arnage – 5,699lbs
    Mulsanne – 5,715lbs

  24. Elmo187 says:

    uh just because the Continental GT can do those times, doesn’t mean that Bentley’s flagship can.

    the base Continental GT weighs 458lbs less than the Mulsanne. do you realize how much of a difference in weight that is? also, the Mulsanne is RWD, while the GT is AWD.

    one more thing, torque won’t get it moving any quicker. the Arnage weighs in at 5,699lbs, did 60 in 5.2s, and had 500hp and 738ft. lbs. of torque. the Mulsanne gained weight and only 50hp.

  25. cyerbyandmarge says:

    oh yea and it has over 700 footlbs of torque. why wouldnt this car do 0-60 in the 4 sec range?
