One small sized british firm, a buy out by some german giants and we have ourselves a £5,000 musical showpiece to make your ears hear music like it’s being performed live in your car everyday. The Bentley Continental Flying Spur Speed, abit of a mouthful yes, but its jam packed packed with goodies!
One car, 20 Audio experts & 2 years of hard work & dedication brings us the £5k Naim Audio system.
Bentley believe the system which was specially created for the Spur by British firm Naim of Salisbury is the best audio ever fitted to a car… A very broad claim!
Naim Audio’s usual field is building high spec home audio setups for big money.
Bentley buyers have the £5,000 price tag to add this setup in thier motors but if you have the money to buy a spur, it may just be the finish to a car which deserves it!

Alpine’s obsession with building a mental demo vehicles has continued, previous builds include Sinister 6, that chopped Mini Cooper, and last year’s Imprint RLS. This year they went all out, building a fully pimped ski boat and tow vehicle to promote their new Marine line.
This one-of-a-kind boat started life as a battered 25-foot 1994 Commander V-bottom, and was crafted into a custom ski boat ready to make it’s own waves!
Alpine’s guys carved new, and re-molded the factory lines, straightening the fiberglass shell into quite simply something else!The boat ended uplooking 10 times better than when it left its factory in the first place! The team modified the intakes and completely revamped the interior from scratch.
The boat apparently took up 4000 hours of work and took about 5 months to complete. The guys mad enough to take on this mammoth task were Steve Brown, Gary Bell, and Brent Davison - Rather tham than me!
This build is just too mad for words - Happy Sailing!
