it a 1994 twin turbo manual?

ohyusindeed... when you absolutely positively haveta kill everyone at the lights, accept no substitute...

it a beauty i love them.did you sell her?

it was amazing... never-ending acceleration in pretty much any gear... and then 2nd turbo kicks in and yr making the jump to lightspeed... shortly followed by a burning driving licence... ho ho ho....

drove it for 5 years... but eventually got rammed off a dual carriageway by some pikey subhuman in a van who just made up his own road rules... bent the sub frame and twas a write off...

was about to haveta sell it anyways though, as i mentioned, it liked a little drink and was costing me £20 a day just to get to work... and that was just before petrol prices went insaaaaaaaane.....

Update, it seems that the stability problem is linked to the tire dimensions of the winter tires. That's what the engineer from Ingolstadt says.
I'll wait till I put the summer tires back on in two weeks or so. And see what happens then.

Edo Bentley Continental GT Speed

It was paramount for edo competition to turn the Bentley Continental GT Speed into the world's fastest GT. Consequentially, particular attention was paid to the engine modifications and all associated components.
In factory trim the Bentley reaches a top speed of 326 km/h (203 mph) with 610 horsepower. Since this provided a good starting point for the edo Bentley Continental GT Speed, the power output of the 6.0-liter W12 engine was increased to 680 horsepower, making edo competition's offering the most powerful GT in the world. The already massive torque output of 750 Nm (553 ft-lb) rises to 880 Nm (649 ft-lb) at 2,500 rpm. As a result the edo Bentley Continental GT Speed reaches a top speed in excess of 340 km/h (211 mph) and accelerates from zero to 100 km/h (62 mph) in a phenomenal 4.2 seconds!
Getting this power to the ground are 20 in. racing wheels shod with Sport Contact V-Max tires specially developed by Continental for the edo Bentley Continental GT Speed. The wheels can be painted according to the customers' wishes.
edo competition has developed a new high-performance exhaust system for the edo Bentley Continental GT Speed which - along with the ECU recalibration - is responsible for the increased output. The high-flow exhaust is made from stainless steel and produces a wonderfully deep and sonorous sound, ensuring the aural experience is given appropriate attention. A new butterfly valve system (with an optional remote control) provides two different settings for the volume level. The development work for the cat-back exhaust system was performed on a dynamometer.
The lowered suspension draws attention to the sporty appearance. The suspension can be adjusted individually thanks to the electronic air suspension control module. The front and rear of the vehicle can be lowered by a maximum of 35 millimeters. As an additional benefit the lowered suspension improves the handling capabilities.
Beautiful wrapper: Customers with a desire for guaranteed exclusivity can opt for a custom exterior color scheme. This is realized using a special foil available in any desired color.
All modifications of the edo Bentley Continental GT Speed are carried out exclusively at edo competition Motorsport GmbH in Ahlen, Germany.
