    No, not the Wraith because the Wraith came out in 2013...

    I'm guessing either a Ghost extended-wheelbase or a Phantom extended-wheelbase...

    Top Gear did a segment on a Bentley. They put different wheels and tires on it, and took it on an off road race similar to the Baja 1000. Thing did well! But it was a little unnerving to see that car catch air and come down hard on the stops. It was all wheel drive and it hauled ass!

    Continental GT? That's the first and only regular production Bentley I know of (outside the specially built all-wheel drive Bentleys for the Sultan of Brunei) to come from the factory with all-wheel drive...

    Not sure on that...but you could research Top Gear episodes maybe and find it. This was before Jeremy and crew left the show, while it was still a good show. Three or four years ago I believe.

    The Sultan of Brunei commissioned a six of these in 1994. The Sultan of Brunei, almost single-handed, kept Rolls-Royce from going under in the 1990s. Most of the vehicles, including the Bentley Dominator SUVs seen in the picture below, cost a million dollars or more per vehicle!

    Yes, one of the six Dominators was actually ordered in yellow!

    Also, the 4-wheel drive system was borrowed heavily from Range Rover...

    Beverly Hills, California

    Here we see three examples of a BMW product that has been disguised and badged as a Rolls-Royce...

    The Phantom Drophead Coupe was released in late 2007 as a 2008 model, and at the time these photos were taken it had been in production for eight years. I had never seen one in person outside of a car show. We have our annual family reunion in Malibu, in July 2016, and I take an Uber to Beverly Hills for the sole purpose of photographing exotic cars...

    I see three different Phantom DHCs on the same street within an hour!

    MalibuTripDay5 007.jpg

    The guy driving it looked young than me! MalibuTripDay5 008.jpg

    UGH!
