CONFIRMED FOR 2010:

ARNAGE REPLACEMENT: Bentley will reveal the replacement for the Arnage sedan (as well as the new car's name) at the 2009 Pebble Beach Concours D'Elegance in August. The new car is said to be based on the Audi A8 platform.

CONTINENTAL SUPERSPORTS: (photo) Bentley bills the new Continental Supersports coupe as the fastest, most powerful Bentley ever built, with a 621 horsepower twin-turbo W12 engine, 3.9 second 0-60 time and a 204 mph top speed. All this, plus it's about 240 lbs lighter than the Continental GT Speed and has E85 flex-fuel capability.

CONTINENTAL GTC: (photo) The convertible Continental gets a revised grille, chrome trim around the headlights, and a couple of new paint colors. The power steering system has been revised for better feel, and the standard GTC gets softer shocks for a smoother ride. The new Continental GTC Speed is essentially a drop-top version of the GT Speed coupe. It gets a W12 engine that produces 600 hp, 48 more than the standard GTC. Top speed is 200 MPH (but only 195 with the top down). Both models now offer carbon-ceramic brakes and adaptive cruise control as options.
