Bentley Flying Spur Speed with 635 HP

In 2019, Bentley presented the third generation of the luxurious Flying Spur. Now, three years later, comes the Speed ​​version of this model, which will be powered by the 6-liter W12 engine that Bentley stopped using at the end of last year.

With the Flying Spur Speed, Bentley has high expectations in the North American and European markets. The goal is to attract the attention of loyal Bentley customers, but also those who might experience the luxury offered by the British company for the first time. When it comes to the rest of the world, Bentley will offer its powerful car in the Middle East with the Speed ​​badge.

Visually, the Speed ​​model does not differ much from the basic Flying Spur. Top quality materials were used in the construction, and the car is equipped with a set of new 22-inch rims, which are offered in several colors, as well as adaptive suspension.

The biggest change is under the hood where is located a 6-liter twin-turbo W12 engine with 635 hp (467 kW) and 664 lb-ft (900 Nm) of torque. Power is transmitted to all wheels via an 8-speed ZF automatic transmission. It reaches 62 mph in 3.8 seconds with a top speed of 207 mph (333 km/h).

2023 Ferrari Purosangue debuts on September 13th

The day is approaching when the Maranello-based company will unveil its first SUV, the 2023 Ferrari Purosangue. So far, several photos have been published showing the design of the car, which the company claims will be a limited edition.

For a long time, Ferrari resisted the creation of an SUV model, but since the demand for SUVs was expanding, and the competition was increasing, the decision was made. With its first SUV, Ferrari strives, in an efficient way, to attract first-time buyers, but also younger ones. Recently, we saw the first photos showing what Purosangue should look like. The darkened image of the upcoming SUV shows that the front grille is located low in the bumper with a prancing horse located in its central part, large air intakes on the sides and thin front daytime running lights.

The car has been announced as “Heart Of A Thoroughbred,” and it’s a clear link to Purosangue. The video posted on twitter doesn’t reveal much. Only details of the V12 engine with the manufacturer’s name clearly imprinted can be seen.

When it comes to the powertrain, rumors said that it will be a plug-in hybrid powered by a 3.0-liter turbo V6 engine with 654 hp (488 kW) and an electric motor with 164 hp (123 kW), for a total of 818 hp (610 kW) and 546 lb-ft 740 Nm) of torque. Some even mention a 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine. However, it is now certain that the Ferrari Purosangue will be powered by a naturally aspirated V12 engine. Good job Ferrari!

Ferrari Purosangue will have its world premiere on September 13.

Manhart TR 750 based on the Porsche 911 Turbo S

The German tuner Manhart revealed its new work, the Manhart TR 750. The car is based on one of the most powerful models from the Stuttgart company, but also one of the fastest production cars in the world, the Porsche 911 Turbo S.

Manhart prepared a special equipment kit for this model, which brings H&R springs that bring the car closer to the ground by an additional 30 mm, MANHART decal set, 200 cell downpipes and a full exhaust from Kline innovation to enhance the sound track of the powerful sports car.

The basic Porsche 911 Turbo S is powered by a 3.8-liter twin-turbo flat-six engine with 650 hp (478 kW) and 590 lb-ft (800 Nm) of torque. Thanks to the software remap, the TR 750 has 100 hp more than the base model, so it now counts up to 750 hp. That’s 50 hp more than the 911 GT2 RS, which is powered by the same engine with 700 hp (515 kW) and 553 lb-ft (750 Nm) of torque. The engine is paired with an 8-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission (PDK) that transmits power to both axles.

Manhart hasn’t released performance data for the tuned TR 750, but we expect nothing less than what the Porsche 911 Turbo S can do, 62 mph in 2.7 seconds with a top speed of 330 km/h.
