In case the Grey Goose edition Rolls-Royce Phantom wasn't your poison, champagne label Veuve Clicquot, the same French vineyard that teamed up with Porsche Design for that unique refrigerator, has crafted this one-of-a-kind 1966 Bentley S3.

The S3 model was produced between 1962 and 1965, and was differentiated from the S2 largely by its distinct four-headlamp nose. The Veuve Clicquot edition, meanwhile, has a distinctive yellow and black paintjob and remains largely stock and true to the original... save for the addition of a satellite navigation system. The car belongs to Edouard de Nazelle, a descendant of one of the vineyard's founders, and apart from serving as an elegant transport for its noble owner, it doubles as a promotional tool for the company's carbonated elixir.

Bentley S3E Design Concept

There's badass, there's relentlessly badass, and then there's this. This is what happens when you dream up an idea that combines a vintage Bentley S3's coachwork and chassis with a 300-horsepower BMW 4.4L V8, a ZF 5-speed auto, a custom dual exhaust, and a deluxe interior with all the modern amenities. Tweak the look to give it the feel of a late-model Bentley, add 20-inch forged wheels, slam it to the ground and you have Arturo Alonso's Bentley S3 E design concept. Word is, Alonso and his team at Bentley Boys USA will build three of the cars over 8-month intervals to sell at $150K a pop. We want one. If it really does come to pass, this could wind up being as cool as John Fluevog's Flueguar
