What happened to the Bentley GT Speed Top Gear took rallying?

We asked Bentley what happened to the Continental GT Speed Top Gear took rallying in the first episode of Series 19. All that Top Gear did to the GT Speed to prepare it for the rally stage was to chuck out the comfortable, quilted Mulliner front seats and replace them with proper racing seats. Other than that, it was all down to the Bentley’s suspension and enormous torque to take on the worst roads Wales could throw at it.

Alfa Romeo MiTo Live launches

Alfa Romeo has launched a limited edition MiTo – the MiTo Live – with a Pioneer App radio and Marmalade ‘Black Box’ Insurance aimed at new drivers. So on the engine front the MiTo Live gets Alfa’s 875cc two-cylinder turbo – a crackingly good little engine – which delivers up a modest, but fun, 85bhp with emissions of 98g/km and the promise of 67.3mpg if you drive like a saint. And if you do drive like a saint, there’s a cost saving beyond great fuel economy.

Kahn Range Rover Evoque RS250 Vesuvius

A. Kahn Design has turned its hand to the Range Rover Evoque with the RS250 Vesuvius Copper Evoque with cosmetic tweaks and big wheels. Kahn Design is a relative newcomer in the Land Rover pimping and preening scene compared to Overfinch (whose Evoque 2012 GTS we showed last weekend), but they have a strong following and do a fine job of making stand-out Range Rovers.
