 | Re: SLR gets a power boost!! Bentley GT drops its top! CGT sounded like the Carrera GT. The article is way too small too see. perhaps it can be made bigger? |

| Re: SLR gets a power boost!! CGT drops its top! the link above the pic is a little bigger and slightly more tolerable. or just change view font to a larger setting. strains the eyes, so i just scanned till i saw a number...seems like it'll get more than 650hps.  |

| Re: SLR gets a power boost!! CGT drops its top! 650's nice... You think people will be disspointed that they just purchased a supercar that is being re-vamped for moore power. I'd be a bit pissed. |

| Re: SLR gets a power boost!! CGT drops its top! same here. but maybe they'll use this 650hp one as a race spec version or something that'll cost more than a base slr. |

| Re: SLR gets a power boost!! CGT drops its top! Maybe if its like $100K more than fine, but anything less is really close, and perhaps prior owners would have waited or something. People who bought these have money, $50K or so doesn't matter to them, they just wanted to have the state of the art top of the line version. |

| Re: SLR gets a power boost!! CGT drops its top! Anyone see the slight design changes like the large single side exhause pipes? the side vents have been changed as well. It`s also said to be lighter than the currant SLR. I think the price is going to go up big time as you indicated AlxAmg!! The performance should be way better than the currant one though. |
