The Business of Bespoke Bentley has doubled down on Mulliner, its in-house coachbuilding and personalization arm, to get more out of every car that leaves the factory. What makes Mulliner stand out is just how far you can take it. Expanded color choices, unique interior finishes, and options that go well past what most brands call luxury. But the newest option isn’t about paint or leather. This time, it all starts with sound. Bentley’s new Naim for Mulliner system is now the foundation for a who

The Bentley Batur is rare, with just 18 examples being made, and the Batur Convertible is even more unlikely to be seen at a Cars & Coffee, with only 16 planned. So how do you make one of these extraordinary vehicles stand out even more? By allowing a customer's individualization options to be nearly limitless, and that's the case with the Batur Convertible #4, which has just been completed, showcasing new ways of customizing the most exceptional of Bentley products. In fact, the Crewe-based

Testing New Ground Bentley has been leaning into the performance space with the unveiling of the Continental GT Supersports and Continental GT S. That shift has now extended beyond paved roads with the unveiling of a new off-road concept dubbed the Bentayga ‘X.’ Bentley says the concept was deliberately designed to “stimulate feedback,” which could pave the way for the brand to produce more off-road-oriented vehicles. After all, the segment appears to be gaining momentum—even among luxury marque

A Gymkhana Star Meets British Ultra-Luxury At first glance, Travis Pastrana and Bentley seem like they belong in entirely different automotive universes. Pastrana is synonymous with calculated chaos in gymkhana runs, rally stages, and stunts performed inches from disaster. Bentley, meanwhile, trades in old-world craftsmanship, hand-stitched leather, and refined excess. Yet in Supersports: FULL SEND, the unlikely pairing somehow makes perfect sense. Shot entirely at Bentley’s historic Crewe campu

The Autoblog spy photographers have again caught Bentley's upcoming Luxury Urban SUV in the wild. That's a placeholder name, with more emotive nomenclature coming to the production vehicle when it debuts, likely early next year. Bentley has confirmed that the vehicle will measure less than 5 meters (16.4 feet) in length so that it can legally be parked on European city streets overnight, but it will still be very similar in size to the existing (combustion-powered) Bentayga SUV. With 800-volt Pr

Bently has just set a lap record of a different kind with its Flying Spur Speed, a large luxury sedan that one expects to be taking up space at the local country club, not displaying track heroics. The record was set at the Drivecenter Arena in northern Sweden, the most northerly active racetrack in the world. What makes the Bentley’s record particularly impressive is that it was achieved on an ice-covered track in harsh winter conditions, showing that the big Flying Spur not just has ample powe

Bentley's first all-electric production vehicle is making significant progress. In July last year, we spied a pre-production development mule wearing a Porsche body, and earlier this year, our spy photographers caught a more resolved prototype undergoing cold-weather testing in Northern Europe. Now, the electric SUV has taken to the Nürburgring to ensure its handling dynamics are sporty enough for the British brand, and without a large LED lightbar on the nose, we can get a closer look at the st

Bentley turns up the sporty appeal Bentley has revealed a new Carbon Fiber Styling Specification for the Continental GT, GT Convertible (GTC), and Flying Spur sedan. For a brand more commonly associated with fine wood and sumptuous leather, it may come as a surprise to learn that a quarter of Bentley customers chose the previous carbon fiber pack. Together with an optional Blackline Specification and titanium Akrapovic exhaust system, Bentley once again positions itself as a much more driver-foc

If the base Continental GT is somehow too dull for you and the Conti GT Azure too focused on luxury, perhaps the sweet spot in the Bentley coupe range is this, the new Continental GT S (and drop-top Continental GT Convertible S). The GT S is more powerful than its W12-powered predecessor, delivering 671 horsepower and 686 lb-ft of torque from its High Performance Hybrid powertrain, which is an electrified 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 with a flat-plane crank. Those numbers represent increases of 128 h

A Collab No One Saw Coming Bentley: The purveyor of aristocratic vehicles with a slight whiff of athleticism. While we usually imagine these parked up in the fanciest resort and exclusive hot spots, the company isn't shy about flexing its sporting heritage from time to time. Besides, this is an automaker that's won Le Mans six times. But one thing nobody really expected was a collaboration with extreme sports athletes. Back in January, Bentley tapped Travis Pastrana to show the fun side of the S

Turning the ‘60s Concept Into Reality The Runabout might not be the first Bertone name that comes to mind, but it played a bigger role than most people think. When it debuted in 1969, the original concept showed just how far Bertone was willing to push boundaries. This was the same era that produced the Countach and Stratos, the wedge-shaped legends that put Bertone on the map. Previewed in December, Bertone is bringing back the Runabout – not as a concept car but as a limited-run production sup

Italian Coachbuilding An almost forgotten and lost art of the automotive world is coachbuilding, which refers to the idea of building the body of the car, but using the underpinnings of an already existing model. While most countries had their own coachbuilders, the Italians were known as one of the best, with famous designers and design houses. One of the most iconic Italian design houses is Bertone, and it's coming back to the spotlight with a limited-run production unit called Runabout. Wed

It’s time for another will it run and drive video from Sleeperdude, but this one just might be their best one yet. A 1967 Buick Riviera is a classic, and this one is no exception. But after sitting for 40 years, it is going to need some love for sure. Check out the clean up they do and let us know what you think. Can you believe it looks this good after all these years? Video Description: We are going to do a full detail on this Big Block 67 Buick Riviera that was parked for 40 years. It’s als

We love Goodwood and all the great content they share all year long, because it has so much good history and action. But when they put out a best of the year video you know it has to be good. I mean how do they choose? Whoever is on that committee is having some fun, but also has a tough job. Let’s see what they chose for their favorites of 2025! Video Description: 2026 is promising to be an incredible year at Goodwood, but before the action starts, let’s look back at the best moments in 2025.

The Tesla Cybercab robotaxi is unlike any vehicle the American EV manufacturer has built before, and it’s only natural that it attracts a lot of attention wherever people see it. Unsurprisingly, this happened last week in Austin, Texas, where Tesla brought a shiny gold Cybercab prototype at SXSW 2026, providing a good opportunity for a few car influencers to take a closer look at the intriguing fully autonomous vehicle designed for ride-sharing. "Look Ma, No Hands!" Out of Spec Reviews and Kim J

These people are crazy! Motorcycles and quads are two of the things that are the scariest when it comes to hillclimbs. When things go right, which almost never happens, these are brutal runs up the hill. But when they go wrong, they take brutal to a completely new level. This video highlights some of the gnarliest hillclimb failures of 2025. Did you make the cut?   The post Best of 2025: Motorcycles, Quads, and More FAILING To Get To The Top Of The Hillclimb Hill!

Here’s another best of the best in 2025 video, and this one is another from the 2025 World Rally Championship. We shared the top major crashes video the other day, but this one is a much bigger video, with tons of awesome raw audio, that will surely raise the hair on your neck! Check it all out below and let us know what you think in the comments. There has never been a shortage of crash action at a World Rally Championship event, as cars often find themselves off the road, rolling over, slammi

Jay Leno has got some of the most awesome cars on the planet, as we’ve all seen parts of his collection over the years. And he’s wealthy enough to buy any car he could ever want, so it should come as no surprise that he ordered up and got a new Corvette ZR1X when they came out. If you have been living under a rock, these beasts are capable of mid 8 second timeslips at the dragstrip, will run 233 mph from the factory flat out, and they beat just about every exotic on the planet in every other mea

I am a big fan of Rain-X. I own, and have owned, a few vehicles that don’t have windshield wipers at all and have found that if you apply it right and often enough it works wonders. I’ve tried a few other brands over the years as well, and found some to work well and others to just seem like cleaner and not repellent. So how do they compare in real world testing? Thanks to Project Farm, we’re about to find out. Check out the video below as 10 brands of windshield water repellents are put to the

I don’t know any car guys and gals who don’t like mini bikes and go karts, and in recent years there is no better engine than a Predator from Harbor Freight. Freiburger and I built mini bikes nearly 20 years ago, when these Predators first came out, and I can tell you that the 6.5 horsepower engine made way more power than the 4 hp that came on them and it make them a riot to ride. With a little intake and carb love and exhaust it made more power, but we had no clue how much. Thanks to Frankie a

Big truck frame repair is kind of mezmorizing sometimes. Whether it’s the guys in eastern Europe that take a completely pretzeled chassis and straighten it out so they can weld it all back together, or the Pakistani truck guys who straighten up outside frame rails and then make their own new ones to fit inside as doublers or triplers. I like both, but this one is from an eastern European shop where they have all the tracks, hydraulics, and induction heaters to make these repairs. If you haven’t

Drag and Drive trailers are one of the more talked about aspects of drag and drive races, and for good reason. Being organized and having the tools and parts you need can be the difference between finishing or not, and winning or losing your class. There are a bunch of ways to do a drag and drive trailer effectively, but some folks have different preferences. I’ve seen a bunch of different drag and drive trailer variations, and the possibilities are endless. In the video below, our friend Bill A

The 1990’s were awesome for the custom car and truck scene because horsepower was just starting to come back and everyone was into making big visual changes to their rides in order to keep them from looking like a stock jelly bean. While I dig the Impala/Caprice/Roadmaster platform they were plenty mundane looking without some visual help. The Impala SS looked significantly better with just some trim, badging, and monochrome treatment before adding a bigger wheel and tire combo. But if you wante

We’ve shared lots of video from Sick Week 2026, including several from Alex Taylor, Kevin Smith and the KSR crew, and also the Drag, Drive, Repeat gang. So what’s in store in this new video from DDR?

NWS Marquette has upgraded to Ice Storm Warnings across Michigan's Upper Peninsula as a second wave of freezing rain takes aim at highways already battered by two days of ice, sleet and snow. The warnings take effect Friday evening and persist through Saturday afternoon, with ice accumulations up to 0.4 inches and wind gusts reaching 40 MPH along US-2 and US-41.
