Sence they make a mid engine V8 le mans car, they should make a street car with this kind of performance (that would still be street legal). It might conflict with lambo and bguatti but it would still be cool.

bentley is a luxury brand.

Some of their cars are quite fast , like the Arnage T.

They could make a luxury sports car. I mean if porsche can make an SUV than there is nothing wrong with a company that only makes car type A to start making car type B. They could make a two seat luxury car with one of there 600 lb/ft of torque either in the front or the the mid. I think this would be a great car along with the MSB.

They can even make a supercar , remember the "Hunaudières" concept.

But VW already have bugatti and the Nardo (W12).

Bentley is a sports car maker AND a luxury car maker, they raced at Le Mans in the 1920's, it's just they have only been in the luxury car market for the past 70+ years.

The sooner they make a sports car again, the better.
The 2003 GT Coupe looks damn good, but is still more on the side of luxury.

Look, we've all got something we can bring to this discussion. But I think from now on what you should bring is silence.

if they are a luxury brand what is this? Cadillac is a luxury brand, but the Cien is nothing less than a supercar. It would be a great way for bentley to showcase its advancements.

Cadillac , luxury ??

Not for me , can't compete with RR , can't even compete with the german luxury cars.

The Cien is a concept , I doubt it'll sell well , because cadillac has no image and no past in supercars.

Correct. They have no past in supercars. The Cien was intended to showcase its advancements over the past hundred years. Bentley should do the same.

Well, sportscars are not their niche in the automotive world, but I suppose they could make an excellent exotic sportscar if they wanted to. It probably wouldn't be too dissimilar from what Aston Martin produces. I wouldn't really mind though; seems like every serious car company today is trying to put some sort of exotic sportscar on the market. It helps their profits.

Bently is going to make a GT and it's sweet.

When you have something good for you don't change it. Bentley is one of the worlds leading luxury auto manufacturerr. They only make maybe 1000 cars a year. Plus remember that the Arnage R is still the fastest non aftermarket sedan in the world.

If bently would make a sports car that would be awseome. The main problem thay would have would be making it light and still keeping all the luxury features which thay are known for. I have no doubt that it would be expensive as hell though.
