The temptation of Haichuan Pinche to spread its wings —— Bentley's extraordinary experience journey by sea, land and air

The sun shines softly on the balcony outside the room, and I seem to hear the cheerful cries of the waves in the room. I reached out and turned off the harsh alarm clock, leaving my busy year-end work behind. At this moment, I am enjoying the beautiful island morning. "it's a beautiful day today. I hope I can have a nice trip today," said the beautiful publicist sitting behind me, and then I drove a new one? The speeding windows let sunshine and fresh air enter the car together. I don't have to worry about PM2.5 and air pollution here. Hainan Island should be one of the freshest places in China.

Coming out of the hotel, we drove very slowly in Haitang Bay, turned the steering wheel to the left line briskly, and passed the truck crawling slowly in the middle line. In the booming Hainan Island, groups of trucks that don't obey traffic rules can be seen everywhere. Is this good or bad? Anyway, I think it's best not to destroy the natural environment. In the rearview mirror, I noticed that the driver's face showed unexpected envy when our new Bentley sped by the truck. It's no wonder that although China has become the second largest Bentley market in the world, the latest Bentley team in the resort is rarely seen on the street.

So we drove out of the city in droves and headed southwest. It should be noted that what I am doing now is not what I am best at-test drive. Perhaps this activity can also be called a test drive, only for people who have never tested Bentley models before. For me, what is more important than the test drive is to feel the Bentley-style leisure lifestyle. Bentley China hopes that through this colorful experience, we can learn more about the lifestyle and brand spirit behind the Bentley brand.

Our destination today is Le Meridien Shimei Bay. Nearly a hundred kilometers away, there are straight national highways, expressway with few cars and few people, and several kilometers of mountain roads. It is said that it is the kind that turns eighteen bends, which sounds a little exciting (sorry, I automatically returned to the test drive mode). No wonder it's hard to fool them by testing these super luxury cars on mountain roads. These cars weigh more than two tons, are more than five meters long and are worth three or four million. This opportunity has finally come.

I am familiar with the new speeding. I have tested its first two generations and new models (I just had close contact with it on the mountain road in Huairou, Beijing). In my opinion, it is the most worthwhile model owned by Bentley at present. It perfectly inherits Bentley's excellent genes in luxury and sports performance, and at the same time uses the latest modern car-making technology to make this four-door car have an unimaginable driving experience. In particular, the new generation is more independent in design, and the interior (especially the second row) is more spacious and almost perfect, which just shows that the acceptance of the China market is unprecedented, and there is no doubt that China will become the largest single market for this model in the world.

Today we are opening the top edition of W 12. After the production was stopped in Mu Shang, this car became the flagship model of the whole Bentley family. Some models with V8 twin-turbo engines have entered the China market. It is said that this V8 version of the reservation is very popular, and it has been ordered for two years. Do you believe that Bentley's sales in China have increased by more than 60% this year? It seems that no matter how many black swans exist, it will not affect the purchasing power of the top groups at all.

No wonder W 12 is much more expensive than V8. Obviously, the V8 is more cost-effective, but I always think that cars of this class have to buy 12 cylinders. With a displacement of 6.0 liters and the support of two turbochargers, it has a maximum horsepower of 635 horsepower and invincible super torque. Even if its own weight reaches 2.5 tons, accelerating overtaking is still as easy as child's play. On a section of expressway, the speed can easily exceed 200km/h, but it is obviously not safe to drive so fast in China, so the speed is reduced to 1 10 km/h, and the vehicle is set to cruise mode, so that you can easily drive and enjoy the beautiful island scenery on both sides of the road: one side is the blue sea, and the other side is the rolling green hills. I really want to keep walking on this road.

After enjoying an exquisite seafood dinner in the hotel, we started heading for the afternoon destination-the flight training base, where we will drive the simulator of the flight school for flight training. However, for a "trapeze" who flies hundreds of thousands of kilometers a year, the temptation to fly a plane is obviously not as big as driving a Bentley. I still like the feeling of being down to earth. In the afternoon, I changed to the latest Tim Yue V8, which is the hottest sales king of Bentley at present.

Tianyue has really opened the market segment of ultra-luxury SUV. After it, Lamborghini, aston martin, Rolls-Royce and even Ferrari all joined, but neither URUS of Lamborghini nor Cullinan of Rolls-Royce is enough to pose a threat to Tim Yue, because their product positioning is quite different. URUS is the ultimate in sports, while Cullinan is the ultimate in luxury. However, Tianyue is the best in these two aspects, with good athletic performance and luxurious tonality, which makes Tianyue still the largest seller in the super luxury SUV market.

Taste this new car after the mid-term change, and feel that the shape is getting more and more perfect. The more vertical front water tank grille adds momentum to the car, while the oval taillights further widen the visual tension at the rear. Even if the wheelbase is not increased, Crewe's engineers have increased the rear space for the new car. The legroom that was criticized before has been appropriately changed at this time. The rear seat of this SUV can even adjust the front and rear of the cushion and the backrest angle. It's really intimate and undoubtedly closer to the needs of domestic consumers. Most importantly, its starting price is similar to that of Mercedes-Benz G63, which is really cost-effective.

Sitting in the driver's seat of Bentley, I always feel that time flies. The next day, I basically wandered around Europe GT? On W 12 and V8 models. I have tested the first two generations of Continental GT, maybe I am not old enough to appreciate this large GT, and I didn't like it at that time. But it was not until Bentley launched the third generation Continental GT three years ago that I instantly felt that this was the perfect GT sports car in my mind: beautiful appearance, high-tech but not luxurious interior, spacious four-person space, abundant power, both sports and comfortable driving experience.

Continental GT is definitely the kind of player who can be fast and slow. He experienced the tourist river in the city. The mountain road ahead provided me with such an opportunity to give full play to the performance of this car. What a left turn, the last straight acceleration section, I began to recite the full throttle countdown in my mind. Before entering the corner, I set the transmission to sport mode, with a speed of only 80 and an engine speed of 2500 rpm. When my huge body crossed the bending center, I began to step on the accelerator with all my strength. Four wide tires began to tear the ground, but seeing the scenery on both sides of the car flying backwards quickly, the fascinating acceleration pleasure made you want to try again.

With large-displacement supercharged engine and full-time four-wheel drive system, Continental GT can be said to be the most versatile GT sports car in the world today. Comparatively speaking, I prefer the tonality of V8 vehicles, because most 8-cylinder engines are more active than 12 cylinders. Although its operation is not as smooth as that of 12 cylinder, and its exhaust frequency is not as frequent as that of 12 cylinder, most V8 cars are naturally bold and cover the sun, which is why I like 8 cylinders better than 12 cylinder.

Another important reason is actually the different driving experience, because without four cylinders and a complicated W block, the front of the V8 is really much lighter, which I felt within fifteen minutes before I jumped into the V8. Its steering sense is better than W 12, the steering wheel feels heavier, the steering sense is sharper, and the handling accuracy and road feedback are better. Although the horsepower is 85 less, the car is a magical thing. Its charm is not only a string of data on paper, but also the driving experience it brings you.

In those few days in Hainan, I seriously experienced a Bentley-style life, going up to the sky (simulated flight) and going down to the sea (dare not think, I met a gust of seven). Most importantly, I experienced all the Bentley models worth 70 million yuan at one time, and experienced the latest Bentley models comprehensively and deeply. Crewe's engineers adjusted the perfect car with high performance and comfort in the world. Although the four-day activity is not long, it is a unique experience. Tailored distinguished service, unique activity experience and wonderful driving experience have made me taste something called happiness in Bentley's exquisite humanistic care and long time.
