I'm inclined to agree with you on that martinbo, it's a problem the Bentley Arnage T suffers from all over.

When I first saw pictures of the S8 for a couple of weeks ago I thought "Wow, that car looks really aggresive and I want one ASAP" but now when the S65 is around the bend things have changed. Just by looking at the front bumper, side skirts and the rear of the S65 one can instantly figure out that this car serious, a serious beast.

The styling is very aggresive without being overdone and compensating the elegance of the flagship. A black exterior would make the chrome pipes and details stand out and shook all the driver behind the wheel of their 1.8l cars. My inteiror choice would defintly be a orange/brown interior with the sexy black designo wood to go with it.

BTW did I also mention that the car packs 612hp and pushes 0-100km/h i just 4.4 sec?

S65 all the way.

Stuttgart is the best automotive city in germany. Porsche and MB are on top of the hill.

Nice observation.

Somehow the Bentley, though, manages to resolve the luxury / sporty theme a little more successfully than this W221 S65 and a little less successfully than the W220 S65. Go figure.

I dunno, maybe it's me but according to my eye this W221 bodyshell just isn't suited to the AMG treatment from the A pillar aft. Frontal 3/4 is terrific but that's where the good news ends.

The only thing "very disturbing" about the S8 is your opinion.

But thanks all the same Artist.

MB offers the power

and

Porsche offers the handling

It's probably the most important city in the automotive world.
