SEMA Preview: ASI's 800hp Tetsu GTR Bentley Continental GT
What does SEMA mean to you? For most of us, it's a place for the country's top tuners to show their wares to a power-hungry public. But the dark side of SEMA never ceases to rear its ugly head, and further proof will be available at the Toyo booth where the Tetsu GTR Bentley Continental GT will be displayed.
The unholy brainchild of Japanese tuner ASI features a custom carbon fiber wide-body kit that makes ASMA's unfortunate creations look demure in comparison. The two-tone paint scheme... uhhh... compliments the massive haunches, deep side skirts and GT-style wing, while 22-inch blingalicious rollers prove that chrome is still in high demand... unfortunately.
According to Modified Luxury and Exotics, only 29 Tetsu GTRs will be produced, each putting out over 800 hp. We'll be on hand to provide live shots of the other five vehicles featured at the Toyo stand, assuming our camera lens doesn't crack when we zoom in on the GTR's gaudy fascia.

If you click the link, the silver one isn't bad. 800hp with AWD would be mighty quick.

+ 1 for the grey. An undecorated carbon hood does make it look pretty sweet.
That flowery carbon is just plain wrong. I guess it's this thing called art?

This would actually be decent on anything other than a Continental. Like a Hyundai Genesis. Which is not a Continental. Or a Veilside-equipped 350Z. Which is also not a Continental.
Notice, neither of those vehicles cost anywhere near what a Continental GT costs. Not even combined. Twice.

Did an elephant eat a bunch of dasies and then puke on that car?

This is exactly what SEMA is a about. A Visual and Audio assault on automotive kind. A delicious over the top OMG look what they did to that Spectacle.
I love the wide body kit for the Conti. GT and the 2-tone looks pretty good too. Rock on ASI! Rock On!
