Although Bentley is keen on <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/06/10/the-house-of-the-winged-b-teases-the-new-grand-bentley/">metering out glimpses</a> at a <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/06/25/video-new-grand-bentley-teasers-dont-reveal-anything-new/">snail's pace</a>, British auto mag <em>CAR</em> managed to get a hold of a batch of photos of the highly anticipated new "Grand Bentley".<br /><br />Under development with the code-name Project Kimberley, the new Bentley is slated to replace the aging Arnage sedan at the top of the company's line-up and do battle with the Rolls-Royce Phantom.
