New Bentley tuner rocks in

Amari enters the high-end tuning market with a 750hp Bentley.

The Bentley Continental GT is a darling of the top-end tuning community and now there's another member of this exclusive club: Amari.

Based in the UK, Amari is planning no less than four new models and the Continental GT Evolution is the first to break cover. It comes with what Amari calls a "hybrid" supercharger to shove the GT's 6.0-litre W12 engine's power to 750hp. There's also an upgrade to the engine's ECU brain and a bespoke exhaust to help free up the extra poke.

Naturally, a tuned Bentley needs to let others know about it and Amari has not been shy with the carbon fibre. New front and rear bumpers, bonnet, wings, side skirts and fatter rear wings all feature, while a rear splitter in carbon fibre is essential.

Inside, Amari has been getting busy with the carbon fibre too, splashing it over the dash, steering wheel and doors. There's also more leather and Alcantara than anyone could ever possibly hope for.

Amari remains shy about performance figures and prices, but the British firm says the Continental GT Evolution will be launched in fully finished form in May.
