This LeMans Edition has one of THE sexiest Interiors of a car ever, All that Luscious Red in there, Man, If I were to ever get in that interior with my wife...The Interior would have turned white..lol

I also think these New Bentley GTs look ALOT better then the previous ones, inside and out, I don't think I would mind spending that much on one, These cars are BIG Status Symbols too, but I know what im getting into when I buy a car, so that effect is negated.(Unlike these other tossers)

I'll say it's correct, it's at least a hotter version of the Continental GT, otherwise, I'd say that sounds too fast for such a car.

Ugh.. this is too slow even for a Bentley... I mean: a 2012 AWD 2.4 tonne 625 PS car is being slower than 1994 RWD 1.6 tonne 280 PS Toyota Supra? That's too slow. Even Randy couldn't rescue Bentley.

Goes to show you, horsepower is not everything. Also, the Supra was making 320 REAL BHP with RWD (= lower drivetrain loss).
