    Bentley has revealed details of its latest concept car, the Zagato GTZ, based on the GT Speed and designed by Italian coachbuilder Zagato. The firm has supplanted the original GT’s clean lines with an indented roof, sloping rear and high-contrast colour scheme.

    Wow this is what the Baby Bentley should always have looked like!  The regular car has always looked awkward, that "something shoved up it's behind" look.
