Welcome to Cool Cars GNR News | November 20
Our bi-weekly newsletter - presenting the best of Great North Road.
Featuring: Aston Martin, Audi, Bentley, Lamborghini, Lexus, McLaren, Porsche and Volkswagen.
Greetings,
Welcome to another GNR News edition of Cool Cars and Great Deals.
This week we hosted the launch of two very cool new cars, which made it feel more than a little like 2019. I had almost forgotten the great feeling of hosting a launch event and sharing the magic of unveiling a new model in a full showroom.
Sir John Key was our guest of honour for the launch of the new Bentley Bentayga - which once the covers came off, really did steal the show. The Continental GT inspired headlights, and front end gives the new Bentayga a much sportier profile. The same can be said for the rocket engine inspired taillights which bookend a completely new tailgate design.
More than a thousand changes have been introduced, most undercover, but the new technology and dashboard design are instantly apparent when you climb aboard.
While the Bentayga looks forward, we also welcomed a tribute to Bentley's past, with the last two Mulsannes ever to come to New Zealand. The car, and mightly engine that defined and powered Bentley for a generation, is bowing out with the 675 Edition by Mulliner. For anyone who loves Bentleys, this is one to come and see.
And a reminder; if you come on a Saturday morning, the barista coffee and Ripe Deli snacks are on us between 9 and 11 am.
Have a great weekend, check out some highlights from the Bentayga launch below and of course this week's cool cars.
