Steering wheel fr. a 300c....but massive torque numbers straight fr. Bentley's factory. 752lb.ft? I sense a comparo betw. it & the S65 AMG eventually....

I saw it at Pebble and was extremely disappointed. It's as a Flying Spur and Arnage had a baby and kept all the plastic feel to it.

I like it. Steering wheel causing some discussion here, but perhaps i better have it than the Passat steering wheel the current Conti's carry. Wood is adequate for a car such as this one in my view. I like it, its better than the currrent Flying Spur which looks like glorified A8. This one has better shape, more Bentley heritage, at least from looks.

Love it but the steering wheel really is as bad as you guys say, hopefully you can retrofit a CGT wheel.
