| 1 | Video2012 Bentley Continental GTC | It was an exciting flight to Pula, Croatia to experience and drive Bentley’s 2012 Continental GTC. It’s been five years since the first GTC was launched, so you can imagine the amount of new technology and sophistication instilled into every aspect of the vehicle. The formula begins with a 6-liter, twin-turbocharged W12 engine with 567 horsepower. A programmable air suspension and adjustable springs allows the driver to manipulate the vehicle’s ride quality to his or her liking. Top speed is set at 195 mph and 0 to 60 mph clicks off in 4.5 seconds -- similar numbers to some of your favorite two-door sports cars! | 10/25/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

| 7 | VideoRomancing Scotland in a Bentley Mulsanne | The infamous Loch Ness in Scotland’s Highlands decidedly drew our attention to the province’s salient landscapes, romantic ruins, historical monster myths and conspicuous castles such as Aldourie Castle Estate where we studied, rested, dined and danced. And why not romance the region in Bentley’s greatest achievement yet; a 5,700 pound, hand-carved British statement that sails 0 to 60 in 5.3 seconds and grandeur than any achievement ever set forth by Parliament. | 8/6/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

| 11 | Video2011 BMW 5 Series: Lisbon, Portugal | The moral of the story is simple, "Love the life you live and live the life you love." So when the delayed voicemail came in that I hadn't signed up to join my auto comrades in Lisbon, Portugal to play around with the nucleus of the BMW family -- the 5 Series -- I immediately switched gears faster than their new “Sport Automatic” 8-speed transmission, cleared my schedule and commenced working on my Portuguese. Obrigado (thank you) BMW was my initial thought, for the Bimmer "5" definitely makes its case to start at shooting guard on Automotive Rhythms’ all-time starting five (no pun intended). The enlightenment of experimenting with the 5 Series on the glorious Oceanside roads of Cascais and Estoril racetrack in Portugal is what I deem a "profound moment of exposure!" | 3/7/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

A fairly small number of vehicles, but at a starting point of $380,000 for a Phantom, the profit ratios can be very rewarding. Yet, Rolls-Royce knew it needed to do more.
