And if you were to forget the firing order of the 12 cylinders there’s a handy aide memoire engraved into the black veneer facia. It seems wherever you look there’s a “12” logo: on the exterior badging, treadplates, engine, embossed into the leather of the seats and even engraved into the organ-stop air vent knobs. The novel opens with private eye Philip Marlowe coming to the rescue of a drunk named Terry Lennox as he is unceremoniously dumped in a nightclub parking lot by his ex-wife Sylvia. In each of the four, the twin-turbocharged 6.0-litre lump dispenses 659PS (491kW) with 900Nm (664 lb-ft) of torque from just 1500rpm.įew companies are as well geared up for customisation as Bentley and here they have splashed out (especially in the logo department), adding more backstory to what in any of the four forms is already a highly polished luxury car, not to say a jolly fast one. Special craftsmanship, colour and trim make the Edition 12s stand out for mechanically they are as their respective Speed models. Take your pick (or have one of each?) from Bentayga, Flying Spur and the Continental GT in either coupe or convertible forms. There are four of them, all badged Speed Edition 12 and available in a fixed run of 120 examples of each for the world.
