RENNTECH takes its own Bentley pictures, doesn't do too bad
Click above for high-res gallery of RENNTECH's handiwork
You may remember my little hissy fit last week over RENNTECH using our photos of a Bentley Continental Flying Spur taken when the Flying B was in the Autoblog Garage two years ago. We and the graphic designer over at RENNTECH have since patched things up, aided in no small part by his flattery of my photos and me being a sucker for compliments. Taking our advice, the RENNTECH folk quit shopping in the Google Images section of the store, parked a tastefully tuned Flying Spur next to their building and proceeded to shoot away, the results of which ain't too shabby. Their Bentley is lowered with a dark window tint and some deep dish rims as opposed to the stock one we photographed, and theirs is no doubt sporting the tuner's new ECU module for Bentley automobiles that boosts the twin-turbo W12 to 625 horsepower. You can check out RENNTECH's new pics in the gallery below, as well as all of the Bentleys that have been in the Autoblog Garage after the jump. We think it's about time for another one.

Hint to Renntech photographer: Remove other cars from area before shooting. Also, always turn front wheels to show off more rim.

I agree. But then those rims are hideous though.

I agrea too! But where did they take the pictures at? Behind the bathroom? (see the glass block privacy window just above the hood area)
Aside from that the white rim lips are ugly, and the front fascia is mostly stolen from the GT speed. Seems to be a RENNTECH fault. Is the car stolen and that is why you hid behind the bathroom to photograph it?

If the point of this mod was to take a classy car and make it look ghetto, congratulations you succeeded.

a) I'm sure u kno nothing of the ghetto.
b) It's still a sweet car no matter what u do to it, i think it actually looks pretty good, especially the matching rims, which i'm sure is where ur ghetto allusion comes in.

I was thinking the same thing. Its like they were attemting to make it look like Jay Z'z 300.

Too all who say this car looks ghetto, what ghetto are you referring too?
When I think of actual "ghetto" areas I think of banged out old cars. Usually the nicest cars I'll see are J-bodies with some rims while the dealers roll around in badly modified cars or old Monto Carlo's.
Certainly no Bentley's to speak of.
P.S.
ghet·to
–noun, plural -tos, -toes. A section of a city, esp. a thickly populated slum area, inhabited predominantly by members of an ethnic or other minority group, often as a result of social or economic restrictions, pressures, or hardships.

Dealers & pimps roll in expensive wheels all the time.
Man, that's priceless to reference a dictionary...as if Merriam Webster ever set foot in a real ghetto

Any "Tuner" Bentley is bound to offend someone.
In South Florida...home of Renntech......this car would be totally normal. It might not even be wild enough to be parked "up front" at most clubs here. It's like....do you want your Rolex stainless steel or do you want it platinum with diamonds ??

Rolex? Nah, those are too down-to-earth. Talk about Breitlings.

It does look ghetto. And that only means that the mods/ done are not done in a classy OEM way, but in a tripped out, bling bling, hey ho look at me way. This car has been ghetto-fied quite simply. It's a basketball Bentley.
