Frankfurt Motor Show 2013: Top 10 British cars at the show
The British motor industry is going through a rennaissance currently, with sales, exports and production numbers on the up. We're also bucking trends as buyers, becuse unlike the rest of Europe, car sales in the UK continue to increase, and are now not far off exceeding pre-Credit Crunch levels in 2008.
The diverse range of manufacturers that bolt cars together in the UK aren't limited to those that wear British nameplates. Companies from across the globe are making huge investment, building cars here, taking advantage of the UK's quality standards, which are among the highest in the world. And here 10 of the best Brits at Frankfurt.
Bentley Continental GT V8 S
The new V8 S versions of the smaller-engined Continental GT and GTC have 528PS, 680Nm and a maximum speed of 192mph. Bentley says that the Continental GT and GTC V8 S models will go on sale in the UK early in 2014, although it hasn't yet confirmed the prices. The more performance-oriented Continental once again raises questions about the relevence of the V12-engined version in European markets - Acceleration is usefully improved, with a 0-60mph time of 4.3 seconds.
