2006 Bentley Continental GT Diamond Series A
(from Bentley Press Release) This year, Bentley Motors celebrates 60 years of hand-assembled car production at its historic factory in Crewe. To commemorate Crewe’s Diamond Jubilee, Bentley is announcing a limited series of the Continental GT coupé, the most successful car in the company’s illustrious history.
“Bentleys have been renowned for their sporting performance and craftsmanship since the very start of the company, way back in 1919,” says Bentley Chairman and Chief Executive, Dr Franz-Josef Paefgen. “Since the move to Crewe in 1946, Bentley has created a long line of sporting models with an unrivalled standard of craftsmanship that reflects the unique skills of the Bentley workforce.”
The Continental GT Diamond Series, based on the 2007 model year Mulliner Driving Specification, features an exclusive package of enhancements that, in keeping with the Bentley tradition, combines sporting performance with cosseting luxury. Many of these features are unique to this very special model including carbon ceramic brakes, a production-first for Bentley, and new 20-inch, 14-spoke alloy wheels.
“The Continental GT coupé remains true to the Bentley traditions of performance, luxury and craftsmanship while showcasing the modernity of today’s Bentley model range. It has been a magnificent success since its launch in 2003,” says Dr Paefgen. “The GT Diamond Series is a fitting tribute to the skills of the Bentley workforce and reinforces Bentley’s growing reputation for advanced technology.”
Production of the Continental GT Diamond Series is restricted to 400 cars for worldwide distribution and shares the limelight with the Arnage Diamond Series to form a double celebration of the 60th anniversary of Bentley production at Crewe. (See separate press release for details of the Arnage Diamond Series.)

James Bond' Aston Martin DBS Unveiled
the next 007 film, “Casino Royale” which is due to be release in November, 2006. According to Aston Martin Design Director, Marek Reichman, the car, which has a future design, is between the elegant DB9 road car and the powerful DBR9 race car and is instantly recognisable as an Aston Martin. With no details about the new DBS, the car in the movie will obviously be equipped with secret weapons and the usual Bond gadgets. According to some news, beside “the old” Aston Martin - James Bond ( Daniel Craig ) will also drive a £22,000 Mondeo.
The DBS continues our proud and lengthy association with James Bond. The DBS is not of the understated elegance of a DB9, nor the youthful agility of the V8 Vantage. It is explosive power in a black tie and has its own unique character which will equal that of James Bond.
