Online Window Shopping: 2008 Bentley Continental GT Zagato

While online window car shopping, I ran across one of the most rediculous Bentley Continentals I have ever seen. The Bentley's exterior is beautifully remodeled, made to look like an older 1920's esque automobile. Reminds me of a what an excalibur would look like if it was made for the 2000's.








Pretty sick, eh?

2010 JAGUAR XFR PERFORMANCE TESTS

So, you guys should already know how crazy I am over Jaguar's new models-- The 2010 XJ & XF series. They totally rock my world. I mean, everytime I see an XF on the streets I get all wet... ahem.

I ran across these two videos of the Jaguar's performance. The first is a test drive of the Jaguar XFR (which is totally amazing!!!). The guy has no mercy on the car, and the car takes all the blows like a pro. Blows BMW out of the wind!! And you have to see the jump that he does in the car starting at around 3:55



The car's limiter stops the car at around 165 MPH. However without the limiter the car will take you upwards of 220 MPH, very close to Bugatti's 270 MPH.

Here is another video of the Jaguar XFR VS. The Ferrari 550 Maranello.




The Jaguar clearly has this in the bag, but the limiter kicks in--> Something that Ferrari doesn't suffer from. Oh and did I mention that this Jaguar is less than half the price of a Ferrari? Just another amazing feat. Okay, enough with my fanboyism.

2010 Jaguar XJ - SuperSwagWorthy

I remember when I was really young, around three years old, and my father had a little car detailing gig down in Miami for luxury cars (HEY! Leave my daddy alone! Those things were lucrative in the 90's). He would let me get in all of the cars, lecture me through factory installed devices (like the a compass and temperature in the rear-view mirror, very high tech back then), and talk to me about how I would be driving in one of these one day. Although, all of his blabber meant nothing to me— as the high quality creamy colored leather in early Mercedes, BMW, and Rolls Royces sent me into an an instant slumber. (Sorry Dad, but your lectures sucked).

However, there was one car that intrigued me enough to pay attention. I remember sitting in the back seat feeling on the glossy wooden lap tray, and toying with the fully automatic windows and space age features. The 1994 Jaguar XJ series, was magical to me. I promised myself, that I would own a car just like it one day.



You can only imagine how pleased I was to hear the prestigious jaguar brand had began to revive and update their models. I was very already pleased with the XF, and had made up my mind that it would have to do for (when I get the funds of course), but then they dropped the bomb on me:

Wealthy kids and jetsetters, I now present to you the 2010 Redesigned Jaguar XJ.





Notice how long and strong this car is, the presence is much heavier than the new 7 series with the augmented grill, and bolder than even the critically elusive Mercedes Benz S-Class. Jaguar, has definitely hit the mark in this reinvention. I can't wait to buy one, and get it painted matte gray. It's gonna be mean guys!

Here is a video of The 2010 Jaguar XJ riding through the streets of London, watch the pedestrians double take!




Alright Wealthy Kids, Remember, let me know how you feel about Jaguar's new model, and tootles!
