Another wanted to turn left but drove on right lane....☹️ Bentley wanted to turn left but drove right lane .mp4

BMW driver just changed to Bentley. No signal just anyhow change lanes abruptly. 😆 https://www.facebook.com/share/v/WYMjuVeJK8PGWqh8/?mibextid=w8EBqM

@thebestbees Porsche, Volkswagen, Skoda, Seat, Audi, Bentley, Lambo. They are all the same company.

Rolls Royce's V12 are from BMW,Bentley's V8 & V12 are from VW/Audi,i wonder HongQi's V12 are from Russia.?Or Mercedes Benz.?

Bro, just drive your Ferrari or Porsche or Bentley or RR out to eat your wanton mee. thats what people who live there will do. or else invite the chef to come and cook

Bentley is set to end the fabled W12 combustion engine's production next year. Source: https://carbuzz.com/news/say-goodbye-to-the-bentley-w12-with-an-inside-look-at-how-its-built With electrification in its future, Bentley is set to end the fabled W12 combustion engine's production, with the last example leaving the factory in April 2024. And while the automaker has already celebrated its retirement at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, here's another way to laud the iconic engine's imminent departure - by knowing how it's made. YouTube channel Frame gives us an inside look at Bentley's Crewe factory where the W12 engine is made, showing us the entire process of assembling the 6.0-liter twin-turbo 12-cylinder mill. With a production line manned by 2nd and 3rd-generation Bentley engine builders, Bentley marries impeccable British craftsmanship with precision German engineering brought about by Volkswagen AG's acquisition. Every engine is built with great attention to detail. Machines assist skilled technicians in putting in exact amounts of torque on every nut and bolt. Even the connecting rod bearings are weight-matched to each rod before installation on the crankshaft for a perfectly balanced engine. Weight plays a huge role in any high-performance machine, hence Bentley's use of high-grade aluminum for the engine blocks and heads and titanium for each connecting rod for extra strength. It takes two technicians and a few machines to complete an engine. These technicians meticulously review each built engine with high-precision measurement tools to ensure their work meets Bentley's exacting specifications. Each engine is carried by an automated guided vehicle (AGV) taking each unit to workstations for technicians to complete them. There are a total of 64 stations that a car goes through to be completed; each station only takes nine minutes to complete its task. It takes a total of 127 minutes to complete a car. Once completed, these engines undergo rigorous pressure and dyno-testing, ensuring they match their specified outputs. While we're sure they could achieve more, the highest output currently configured is the 740 horsepower and 738 lb-ft of torque attained for the Bentley Batur. Data analytics track the performance of each car and identify areas for improvement. The historic Bentley factory in Crewe is the very first carbon-neutral automobile factory in the world, having received the internationally recognized PAS 2060 standard for carbon neutrality back in 2019. The British marque aims to build on the carbon-neutral status of the Crewe factory by investing in the Bentley Dream Factory to become climate-neutral, end-to-end, from 2030 onwards.

Nice but I think they should stick to more luxury models, like homage to Bentley for instance.. E.g.....Bentley Continental GT 4.0A V8

I guess the profile would be Landed downgraders in their 60s. Cash out can buy Bentley in full cash 🙂

Exclusive Singapore wine club closes as ultra-rich shun flash for discretion A Singapore private club known for catering to wealthy Chinese clients has shut down as ultra-rich residents of the Asian financial hub increasingly opt for discretion over conspicuous displays of wealth. Circle 33, located inside a former colonial residence on Scotts Road in the swish suburb of Orchard, has closed its doors after failing to renew its lease last year, according to three people familiar with the wine club’s situation. The closure of the club, which was launched in 2021, comes as sales of luxury goods such as watches, cars, high-end apartments and golf memberships have tumbled in the city-state, according to industry experts, and as Singapore authorities are increasing scrutiny of family offices in the wake of a record money-laundering scandal. Last August, Singaporean authorities arrested and charged 10 people — all with links to China — in connection to a $2.2bn money laundering and fraud investigation, the largest in Singapore’s history. Police also seized assets including luxury properties, cars, designer handbags, gold bars, cash and cryptocurrency in raids across the city. In the wake of the probe, authorities have turned a closer eye on Singapore’s most affluent residents, visiting auto dealerships and real estate groups and warning in October that luxury assets including cars, watches and handbags may be subjected to anti-money laundering controls. Private bankers have also tightened due diligence processes for new clients, leading to longer waiting times to open accounts and set up family offices. Circle 33, which was famed for its extensive wine menu with prices that ran into six figures, came to symbolise the flow of wealth to Singapore during the pandemic, especially from super-rich Chinese fleeing draconian restrictions in mainland China. Co-founded by Zhang Tao, the co-founder of restaurant review site Dianping, and backed by Chinese business figures such as Min Fan, co-founder of travel group Ctrip, Circle 33 gained notoriety by attracting high-flying executives from China, Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia, according to multiple people who frequented the club. “It was printing money but members stopped going after it was spoken about in the media and earned a reputation,” said one person who visited the club on multiple occasions. Another person close to the club said Circle 33 did not make enough money, forcing the owners to decide against renewing the lease. On a recent visit by the Financial Times, there was no sign of Circle 33 at the villa on Scotts Road save for terracotta statues in the garden. Jade Koh, who is listed as the general manager of Circle 33 on LinkedIn, declined to comment. The club does not have a website and its Google listing said it was permanently closed. While the money laundering investigation, which Singapore police said had been in progress for years, was announced after Circle 33’s quiet closure this summer, the scandal has swayed the city-state’s wealthy to avoid flaunting their privilege, especially as the cost of living rises. “The economy is not as robust,” said Aaron Goh, a high-end events planner for eXposure Entertainment, who has observed a drop-off in demand for personalised parties over the past six months. Lee Lee Langdale, owner of Singolf Services, a club membership brokerage, said prices had been rising “until the money laundering case in August” thanks to demand from foreigners, especially from China. “Since then it has been really quiet,” she said. Golf clubs have also begun more strictly examining suspicious payments, she added, while membership prices have come down, with joining fees at Sentosa Golf Club falling from about S$950,000 to S$850,000 (US$709,000-US$635,000). Say Kwee Neng, a car industry consultant, said sales of luxury and super-luxury brands had also come under more scrutiny, on top of a targeted tax rise introduced last year. “Anecdotally, I heard stories of how the authorities were visiting authorised dealers for Porsche, Ferrari and Bentley,” he said. “Specifically they wanted to know why more detailed background checks weren’t conducted by the dealers to ascertain the source of funding for these people of interest. ”Higher duties have also contributed to a fall in luxury home sales in the second half of last year, according to real estate industry experts. “The high-end market fuelled by foreigners was already softening due to higher stamp duty costs,” said one real estate agent specialising in foreign buyers. “The laundering scandal was the nail in the coffin.”

Bentley & RWD ..Alfa Romeo also...nope mine Normal start from 1st Gear.

RIP Mr. Wee. How times have change. In the past, we would be seeing convoy of RR, Bentley, or at least top of the range Mercedes, BMW. Now we see Toyota! OK there is a EQV among the pack.

For Used imports, an estimate of the original base OMV should be used to estimate the COE Category. Ie. a 35 year old Bentley should not be in the same CAT as a Chery QQ as their starting prices and exchange 35 years ago were not the same

If on a Bentley or Rolls Royce,with all the Country Clubs Labels like SICC,Sentosa Golf Club,.comfirm can no problem.

It's the new Lamborghini SUV! Meet the Urus https://www.topgear.com/car-news/suvs/its-new-lamborghini-suv-meet-urus Lambo's long-awaited return to the SUV sector is here. Full details on 641bhp Urus here The Urus is Lamborghini’s long-awaited re-entrance into the SUV market. It’s also the perfect representation of its 55-year journey from seller of mad things with an allergy to ergonomics, to an ultra-modern supercar manufacturer with the quality, reliability and business sense of Audi. Few would argue the latter is a bad thing when it spawns a family of supercars that you can actually see out of and start on the button every time… but the big fat question here is, is a spacious, high-riding, five-seater family SUV pushing the Germanic sensibleness too far? Let’s start with the way it looks. No doubt you made your mind up within seconds of seeing it, but hopefully we can agree on one thing: of the Porsche Cayenne, Bentley Bentayga and Audi Q7 bunch with which it shares its steel and aluminium MLB platform, it’s not pug-ugly like the Bentley, and has more presence than the other two put together. In the interim five-and-a-half years since we saw the Urus concept, it’s become a little larger, rounder and wider of arse, but the overall shape is surprisingly faithful. There’s the same arrowhead bonnet shut line, but beneath that there’s a lot more going on. Layer upon layer of mesh, intakes and splitters with a cycloptic sensor housing parked in the middle of it. You’ll notice the yellow car here is maximum jazzy – fortunately, more subdued specs, like the grey car with mostly blacked-out elements, are available. Around the back, the concept’s tailpipes have dropped, but the small rear windscreen and full-width tail-light have survived. From this angle, perhaps more so than the front, it’s instantly a Lamborghini. But the Urus’s real trick is to combine a downward-sloping, BMW X6-esque roofline, which keeps things pinched and muscular around the rear wheelarch, with masses of interior space. We’re talking six-footer behind a six-footer with a good chunk of leg- and headroom to spare. It also has a 600-litre boot – enough for a grown man to climb in on all fours and do a convincing impression of a large dog. Big wheels (21-inch as standard, up to 23-inch if you must) and edgier styling than its rivals isn’t enough to earn the Lamborghini badge. For that, it must possess a vicious turn of speed, which is where 641bhp, 627lb ft of torque (available from 2,250rpm), 0–62mph in 3.6 seconds and 190mph flat out come into play. Before you start Googling furiously, the 707bhp Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk also takes 3.6secs, but that’s from 0-60mph, and it trails by 10mph at the top end. That makes the 2.2-tonne Urus officially the fastest SUV out there. Frankly, we’d be perturbed if it wasn’t. Where mild perturbing might occur is under the bonnet. You won’t find a highly strung, naturally aspirated V10 or V12 on loan from the Huracán or Aventador, but a version of the 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 from the Bentley Continental GT and Audi RS6, connected to an eight-speed auto and redlining at 6,800rpm. If you can get over the fact that it’s more likely to woofle and rumble than bark and shriek, it’s actually a far better fit for an off-roader – offering more torque at lower rpm. And yes, you can take your Urus off-road should you wish. The V8’s other trick is being the most fuel-efficient engine ever in a Lamborghini (22.2mpg, 290g/km CO2) thanks in part to a cylinder-deactivation system that works below 3,000rpm and gives you 173lb ft to work with. That’s right, tickle the throttle and you’ll find yourself driving a four-cylinder Lamborghini with less torque than a diesel Ford Fiesta. But let’s not be churlish. It’s a familiar and brilliant engine ably supported by all the weight-cloaking chassis aids Lambo could lay its hands on. Firstly, the standard torque split is 40/60 front/rear (up to 70 per cent can be sent to the front, or 87 per cent to the rear as and when the conditions dictate), with active torque-vectoring from front to back axles, and between the rear tyres, via centre and rear differentials. Long story short: on loose surfaces, it’ll power oversteer, but on tarmac it should stick. And stop, thanks to standard carbon-ceramic brakes – 440mm rotors at the front, 370mm at the rear – currently the largest on any production car. Adaptive dampers work alongside an electromechanical active roll stabilisation system. It’s basically the same set-up that’s already left us stunned in the Bentayga and SQ7 – compliant in a straight line, magically flat in the corners. And then there’s the performance tech du jour, four-wheel steering, which twists the rear tyres by plus or minus three degrees, effectively shortening the wheelbase by 600mm at low speeds (by turning in the opposite direction to the fronts), or lengthening it by 600mm at higher speeds (by turning in parallel to the fronts). Getting the thing started, moving and in your mode of choice is done via a bank of industrial-sized levers. In the centre, the start button lurks beneath a flip-up cover, itself in the shadow of a palm-sized gear-selector. To the left of that is your Anima lever, used to toggle through the four standard modes: Strada, Sport, Corsa and Neve (snow), plus two optional modes: Terra (off-road) and Sabbia (sand) if you genuinely want to get grubby. Each tweaks the diffs, sound, steering, suspension, throttle and gearbox response, and raises (Neve, Terra, Sabbia) or lowers (Sport, Corsa) the air suspension accordingly. Alternatively, you can set your ideal combo of ride, steering and powertrain with the Ego switch on the right. Assume the driving position and, although physically high, you feel low, snuggled below the shoulder line. WE set about looking for some ergonomic nightmare – a lorry-sized blind spot, tortuous seats, razor-sharp trim gaps – alas, there are none to be found. The skin of this interior is very much Lamborghini – all hexagons and Alcantara – but the hardware and execution is pure Audi. Right down to the twin screen (triple if you count the instrument cluster) infotainment system lifted wholesale from the new A8. Unusually then, this is a Lamborghini, tech-wise, allowed to sit above its Bentley and Audi cousins. An indication of just how crucial this car is for the long-term health of the company, and how badly the VW Group wants it to succeed. Inside and out, it’s an impressive engineering achievement, especially from a relative minnow that sold just under 3,500 cars in 2016, although Lamborghini hopes to double that with the £165,000 Urus by 2019. Picking over the spec sheet and poking around the interior is all well and good, but this is a Lamborghini and therefore needs some Lambo DNA in its bones. Can it really be both – a family van with the heart of supercar?

Lorry bang Bentley. Bentley driver whack lorry driver. Lorry driver Poh mata

Was this on a grey/black mercs or bentley last time? Thought I spotted it earlier this year.

(Bloomberg) -- Sales of luxury cars in Singapore remain resilient despite the economic fallout from the coronavirus pandemic, the Business Times reported Friday, citing data from the Land Transport Authority and automakers. Six luxury brands — Aston Martin Holdings, Bentley Motors Ltd., Ferrari NV, Automobili Lamborghini SPA, McLaren Automotive Ltd. and Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Ltd. — sold a total of 178 cars in the first nine months of 2020 versus 256 units for all of last year, according to the report. After adjusting for Singapore’s partial lockdown, the companies sold about 30 cars a month, up from 21 a month in 2019, the BT said. Still, registrations for the high-end car market are a lagging indicator as orders can be made far in advance of delivery, so data may not always accurately reflect a brand’s current performance, the report said. “Sales have been picking up since reopening and we attribute that to customer confidence coming back,” Bentley’s director for the Asia-Pacific region, Bernd Pichler, told the newspaper. Chong Kah Wei, a general manager at McLaren Singapore, said customer orders continued to accumulate. https://sg.finance.yahoo.com/news/ferrari-and-bentley-find-buyers-in-singapore-despite-the-pandemic-024059177.html

LC500 is exclusive what. It rarer than RR and Bentley 😂😂

If the rich want exclusiveness they wouldn’t even consider Mercedes Lexus or bmw. They would go rolls Royce Bentley or Maserati Porsche . For those that Cannot afford means they are not there yet and not rich enough. 🤣

Maybe car is a perk for a top manager at BMW Asia. His hands are tied. Die die must drive a BMW even if he lusts for a Bentley.

I can felt the Anger the Bentley Owner faced,it is wrong to hit the FT Driver,but sometime these FT Drivers also too much,drive like they are in India,came out from Small Road never give way to main Road's Traffic,sometime even holding their Phone on 1 Hand,Insurance Companies should ask these Companies with FT Drivers for at least $10,000.00 Excess for Own Fault.

Mr Alex, BMW F20 He is back after multiple cars with us - Bentley, A45S, Evo 9 wagon and X6. This time, for his wife's ride. He bought this ride for his wife and realized the steering wheel was a replica and the paddle shifters were not working. He immediately contacted us and asked us for a solution as safety is his main concern. He was lucky we had a ready stock on hand. He drove over on the spot and swopped it out. Installation was done and we also did the programming for the paddle shifters so that he and his wife can shift with the paddles on the new Carbon steering wheel. A complimentary service for him even though he did not ask for it directly. We had a full arm console, power window switch panel and door bowl on hand, installation was also done for all these items. He wanted more therefore the rest were custom ordered. He is clear of our SOP and we will inform him when the items are ready for installation. His feedback for the new steering wheel - buttons have better feel and tension compared to the replica wheel which will lag and get stuck. He will be back for the interior trim set. Stay tuned!

Thats not 100% liability, thats with collateral in the background backing the liability and thats also becos he was lucky enough to get the timing right. Probably he borrowed long end earlier locking in lower rates and now with rates up, he manage to arbitrage. it cannot be done over and over and over again without comparable risk such payouts can be created using an iterest rate swap structure. And its not bao jiak anyway. just elaborating somthat we are on the same page. In case it becomes like the Yishunite “problem” to take this discussion a step further, i also mentioned that when i retire, i will not be paying 100% full cash on my expenses like cars and bikes or even properties. A simple reason is , by then i will be looking to use passive instead of base to pay for my living expenses. so for example, if i buy a bentley coupe with full $700k cash, that cash is gone into the car which simply continues to depreciate in value. So i will borrow and Even if the instalments was $10k per month, my passive income would be able to cover it several times and my cash/asset of $700k will still be intact for whatever necessary usage.

Mr Alex, Bentley Continental GT He is back again for his Bentley! This time, major changes to his steering wheel and interior trims. Upgraded to the facelift steering wheel — it is our first time dealing with Bentley. We accepted the challenge and went all out to analyze and test. Honestly, chances are 50/50, but we succeeded! Thank you Mr Alex for his 100% trust in us! A custom order as he wanted forged carbon. Installation done and of course, steering control buttons configured and tested. Stay tuned for his interior pictures!

Alot of Hong Kong Big Bosses went for this instead of Bentley & Rolls Royce.
