Bentley...some kind of gastly price tag on this. Anybody care to take a guess?


Lotus Evora. Not as expensive as you might think. How about a guess on this one? :D

(The car in the background behind the Lotus is an Aston Martin, didn't really look at that one though.)

I saw these while walking around the mall...kind of an expensive advertisement if you ask me, but hey...they didn't.  :icon_mrgreen:

Hey why is your mall so cool? The mall around here usually just has random Kia's or mini vans.

That Bentley had a 281,200.00 dollar price tag.

I would rather buy the lotus they are only like 65,000. Or better yet get a lotus elise they are cheaper and 2 seaters so you dont have to give your friends rides in it all the time.

 Was passed by one of those Bentleys on the way home from class one day, a Continental Supersports. Decided to go home and check out the price tag and was like "yep, worth more than my house."


But damn does it sound amazing.

Price on the Lotus Evora was only 75k and it had all the options.

I'd pick the Exige over the Elise, personally. Exige S to be exact.

You know that evora has the engine from a Toyota camry? As for tge Bentley? Id have a roller or an Aston if I wanted a British mark, even a noble.
Some say that he submitted a $20000 expense claim for some gravel

And that if he'd write a letter of condolance he would at least spell your name right.

You'll quickly forget that it's a 1.8L i4 motor if/when you drive one. The power they managed to squeeze out of such a miniscule motor is crazy.

No, the power we somehow DON't squeeze out of our motors is horrid.

My focus has a 2.0l (2000cc's) motor, with about 100 hp.

My GS500 has idk, around 50hp, with 500 cc's.

If American market cars we're anything like their bretherin (look at the honda S2k) we would be pushing out 100hp/1l like the rest of the world.

I was talking about the Exige/Elise which have a Toyota motor. The "standard" Exige S puts down almost 220hp with 155 lb-ft of torque at 5.5k RPM.

You're right though. The engine in my Ford Ranger, which is a 2.3L i4, barely manages 100hp.

that's the supercharged version. I had a matrix XRS with the NA version of the motor putting out 180hp and 130 lb-ft out of 1.8l. mix in a close-ratio 6-speed and you can have a lot of fun.
