Bowler and Land Rover announce their ‘official’ partnership

In the world of high-speed all-terrain vehicles there is mental, really mental and then there is Bowler.

The company which is based in the sleepy hills of Derbyshire has developed a reputation over the past 25 years for developing cars that can go up and down mountains and sand dunes at speeds that make Formula 1 look a bit limp-wristed. For those in the know the Bowler Wildcat and Tomcat are enshrined in the history of manic off-road vehicles.

Bowler has essentially used a template that incorporates a Land Rover donor vehicle and a bespoke list of modifications that turns the more-than-capable Land Rover into a fire-breathing dragon. The Bowler is the car that you would want in a nuclear holocaust.

So what does the Land Rover/Bowler partnership really mean? Well it is more of branding exercise and won’t change the status quo of either company except that they officially recognise that each other exists. The upshot is that ‘Powered by Land Rover’ will be an extra sticker (decal) on every Bowler from now on. Which is marketing collateral for all concerned.

Far more interesting is the fact that Bowler has two models on offer – the EXR and EXR S. which both use a modified version of the Range Rover Sport chassis. Both cars also use modified versions of the 5.0-litre V8 engine used in Range Rover models.  The EXR uses an FIA-restricted naturally-aspirated 5.0-litre V8 engine, while the EXR S uses a 550bhp version of the supercharged 5.0-litre V8 which Bowler claims will provide supercar performance – that is most likely an understatement.

This is a company that does not have to fill its modest website with blah-blah marketing blurb about being the best at what it does. It just turns up and blows everything else into the weeds.

Congratulations to Bowler for getting the recognition it deserves – check them out at http://www.bowlermotorsport.com/

The New Bentley Continental GT Speed

Bentley claims to be the world’s largest producer of V12 engines so it seems very likely that the manufacturer will be sticking to a 12 cylinder option for its flagship models for some time yet.

The new Continental GT Speed therefore moves the game on for Bentley and in spite of upgrades to the performance and power of the car there are still improvements (some 12%) that have been made on the economy and emissions front by some smart re-engineering of the eight-speed gearbox.

The GT Speed will sprint to 60 mph in 4.0 seeconds and on to a top speed of 205 mph which is some achievement for a car that is not exactly low-slung. The torque output is enormous too at 800 Nm which means that there are very few road-going cars that could embarass this Bentley.

Uprated steering, suspension, lowered ride height, dark-tinted matrix front grille, lower air intakes, ‘rifled’ exhaust tailpipes and unique 21″ Speed wheels will single out the GT Speed from its other Continental stablemates and deliveries are expected to begin in October this year.

The GT Speed is destined to make its debut at the Goodwood Festival of Speed at the end of this month and will be driven by none other than Juha Kankunnen who is likely to give the car a damn good thrashing up Goodwood Hill.

Bentley History Lesson:

Did you know that inspiration for the GT Speed came from the legendary ‘Speed’ models that first appeared in 1923. The standard Bentley 3-litre had already established Bentley’s engineering superiority in terms of roadholding, handling and braking, but W.O. Bentley, the company’s founder, recognised the market potential for a more potent version aimed at the enthusiast driver who demanded superior performance. His response, the 3-litre ‘Speed Model’, complete with twin SU carburettors and a higher compression ratio engine, became one of the most coveted of all Bentleys. The first generation Continental GT Speed was introduced in 2007.
