First details of the upcoming Bentley flagship sedan

First details of the upcoming Bentley flagship sedan were revealed today and it seems we will see a real masterpiece! According to an insider from the development team, it appears that the new vehicle will not carry any of the design from the previous series and it will be a radical change comparing with the old model.

It seems that the new design will feature the round headlights, because these represent the history of the brand but also a new name… currently the vehicle is dubbed project Kimberly. For those who still want the old model, the source announced that there are still 25 units for sale from the Arnage Final Series , from a total of 150. As you may know already, the new Bentley will also borrow the V12 TDI engine from the Audi Q7.

lol yeah but sarcasm aside they were going to base that new Lamborghini on the same platform as the A7 which is based on a modified version of the A4 lol, the horror....

And the new Audi A8 is going to use a modified version of that platform. That's why they built it so it would work on the majority of there cars. Does that mean the new A8 will be inferior to the old one?

Isn't the new baby Rolls-Royce based on the BMW 7-series?

deboost me all you like a FWD Arnage is going too far. and VW really needs to loosen up those purse strings and get some dedicated RWD platforms for the high end brands.
