Breitling for Bentley To commemorate bentley's breakthroughs in technology, design and sheer sporting spirit, its marketing partner Breitling has created a worldwide limited edition of the Bentley Supersports special series. There will be only 1,000 worldwide. Inside track - Douglas Chau After the launch, we turned to Douglas Chau for further insight into the new Continental Supersports Convertible. Extremely refined This is the fastest four-seater convertible in the world, with a top speed of 325 kph, which is just over 200 mph. By contrast, you also have the finest in hand-stitched upholstery. And all that for a "mere" HK$5.1 million. Inside track - Patrick Lee After the spectacular launch party, we turned to Patrick Lee, managing director of Crown Motors, for further insight into the sporty version of the wish. On track Only a few months after the launch of its immensely popular Toyota wish for the family, Crown Motors introduced the latest model - with a break-dance party. At the brightly decorated Wan Chai Toyota showroom, the party got under way with heart-pounding hip-hop music. Special Edition And, this was no ordinary Aston Martin. The legendary British carmaker has taken two of its top-of-the line models, the DBS and V12 Vantage Coupe, and given them a special treatment, "Carbon Black," turning them into collectors' items. High-tech! In this road test, my first impression was of the advances in technology. For instance, I used to drive a 1965 Ford Mustang that produced a "magnificent" 200 horsepower out of a massive 4,700cc. Then, last week, I drove the Subaru Exiga, which produces 225 horsepower out of less than 2,000cc. Amazing! A night to remember For the hong kong launch of the Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera LP570-4, Kingsway Cars managing director Leo Wong and general manager Max Cheng invited customers and a few lucky members of the press to the Metal Zone of Elements in the ICC complex. Refined convertible It has long been a characteristic of Hong Kong motorists that if they drive an open-top car, they still search for total comfort. You may see a convertible with top down, but all the windows up, and the occupants relaxed in the air conditioning. Power and glory Max Cheng, general manager of Kingsway Cars, invited a few lucky journalists to the recent Lamborghini regional track event, held at Sepang Formula 1 circuit, Malaysia.The star of the show was the all-new Superleggera, boasting 570 horsepower and four-wheel drive.
