while I admit that a Bentley running in with Audi A3 1.9 TDI, BMW 118D and Fiat 500 in terms of CO2 is a hella impressive goal. I question the use of flex fuels... if it takes 1.3 gallons of oil to produce 1 gallon of E85 then to achieve the 120g CO2 mark from well to wheel, is impossible... as soon as you fill your tank you have already surpassed the 120g of CO2 in just the amount of C02 produced to get the fuel to the pump.

Ok, I read into second generation bio fuels vs first generation... then I found out about 3rd generation bio fuels. I am now converted, this is an amazing research area and needs to be funded in heavily. Good Job Bentley engineer's.

NO need to go green because there are not too much Bentleys. I think GM should go green.

Are you for real? I nearly see a Bentley every week of a month. They're ever so popular amongst the wealthy inhabitants

Bentley's were a cheap Rolls-Royce? (chokes on the the kippers Jeeves just brought in) How dare you... the Bentley was always the classier alternative for the real gentleman, not like those nouveau-rich Rolls Royces.

That is not true and you do not know your Bentley history- after bought by RR...Bentley was kept as a lower priced model with few changes...just GM used to do...change the headlights/tail and call it a different car. Bentley's unlike RR were always the choice of the sporting driver while a chauffeur drove you in the Rolls.

nouveau riche? Gimme a break, the whole aristocracy car by excellence is RR. The era of rebadged Rolls just allowed for slightly more discretion, which was a bit of a paradox on such gigantic cars, but that's about it.

Anything is possible with audi backing them up. With a car so big and heavy already they have the room to throw in a hybrid without it being too noticeable in performance.

I know they were the same car with different badges but I'm saying that in terms of image Bentley HAD a classier image... nowadays though I'm not so sure. I guess the Arnage is still classy. Otherwise you have to buy a Bristol.
