The 40th running of the Nürburgring 24 Hour race is well underway, with the BMW Z4 GT3 of Team Schubert currently in the lead after 23 laps. But just a few hours earlier, the front row was dominated by no less than six Bentleys.

So what will people make of the new Eterniti Artemis? The new London-based car maker set out two years ago to produce 'The World's First Super-SUV', but have they managed to achieve anything more than a tuned Porsche Cayenne?

I really hope Bentley's SUV concept looks better in the metal than it does in these awkward renderings. Inside, of course, it looks sublime - unmistakably a Bentley - but was this really penned by the same designers who brought us the elegant Continental GT?

As sure as night follows day, so convertible follow coupe, in this case Bentley's new Continental GT V8 Coupe which made its premiere at the NAIAS in Detroit back in January - and now spawns the new Continental GTC V8 convertible.

I love this image. It's from last weekend's Intercontinental Le Mans Challenge (ILMC) 6-hour race at Silverstone and depicts a meeting of two generations of Le Mans Audis - the current R18 TDI and R8C from 1999.
