Does the news blog really need these automotive articles? It will just make it harder to find any of the game news.

It's relevant because the car is coming to Horizon 3. I believe it mentions that at the end of it.
That said -- A 4000+ pound car going as fast as a Viper is surprising, but is it the base Viper or the quicker ACR?

Tired scroll finger?
Thanks @calvins48 for taking the time to write the article. I think the spoiler looks awful.

Would you prefer the one from the Huayra BC? =)
If we assume that they were going to need a spoiler for something like this, then I think they could have done much worse. Personally I really wish they would change those taillights. They've been the same for years and I am very much not a fan.

We haven't had many Bentleys in GT, so much hope PD would have a look at the Continental.
It must be a great drive.
The GT3 looks stunning.

The rear spoiler is optional guys - it comes together with a larger splitter at the front for "aero" balance...
The engine is a beast tho, old school but mighty!
I'm not gonna lie, this project was super crazy - we only got the green light near the end of 2015, the changes on the outside are minimal that's true, but my god the number of components we changed under the hood was ridiculous just to fit the larger turbos and inlet ducts! I was part of the 3-man engine design team responsible for the engine modifications

It's really about how it's built, if you ever had a chance to sit or even drive one - you'd know how solid they feel, like they're been made out of a solid block of aluminium... The leather is super thick (apparently we skin 11 cows for one car), tons of sound-proofing, thick carpets etc.
Once we had a California T to compare and my god, when you really looked at the details - you realised how shoddy the build quality really was...
So it's not heavy because of the materials we use, it's heavy because we use a LOT of these materials to make it luxurious and effortless, but my god when it launches from a standstill
you forget it weights 2.2+ tons...

Saw this a few days ago on Motor Trend or R&T, can't remember. Thought it was nice and I almost always hate Bentley's

Car News. On GTPlanet.
This does not compute.
Also, The Continental is technically a Phaeton, not a Passat.

Again, the only reason this is news is because it's (probable) DLC for FH3.

Lorry, Passat, Phaeton... that's a bit harsh, for cruising on a smooth road for a whole day or night, i don't think i'd chose anything else. It does have a whiff of footballer's car, but still... can you imagine how good this is to drive? I know it's cliche but c'mon!
If i had the money and had to choose 3 cars, i'd have a black Range Rover to drive my family about, an old, black 911 Turbo (964) for fun, and this thing, in black (without the rear spoiler of course), to drive across countries! Very uninteresting but i don't care

Yet another '+1' car that makes the previous +1 models worthless.
Wonder what the one they release next week will look like? Oh wait, exactly the same. Save for a few more spokes in the wheels, a few more powers of the horse under the bonnet, and a few more aerodynamic flaps that it'll never go fast enough to require.
And the week after there'll be another and another and another. And if it isn't from Bentley, it'll be a Ferrari or a Lamborghini of a Mercedes. Rinse, repeat, yawn.
