Just recently bought this model so a quick review. It cost $1075 HKD, HKD and USD is at a fixed rate of 7.78 so you can do the math. The model itself is metal, quality and details are quite good. The price is about 2/3rd or 1/2 of autoart model, so is definitely value for money. I admit i am a huge AUTOart fan, but AR just takes the cake.

I had a difficult time choosing between white or purple, but the following help me made my decision.

1) Purple is a limited edition of up to 999.
2) The photo does not do the colour justice, is nicer in person
3) White is actually boring, a lot of my models are in different colours.

So onto the model and starting with the unpackaging.




I got serial #4, so is an early model


This was taking out of the box when i was deciding on the colour.


The inside of the lights where there are LED and grills replicated quite real, hence "Almost Real"


CF mirror, CF quality is quite well, photo hard to see.


CF wing and diffuser




Rear dog leg is a disappointment, but it also cost a lot less than AUTOart, so is acceptable.


No carbon brakes....come on AR!!!


Cf covered engine, is not bad. Quite similar to the real car. I know because i am watching Motor Tread review on this car while typing this review :p talk about multitasking.


The front hinges are great, I really like it.


Nicely done CF diffuser.



My conclusion, this is a great model. You guys should go purchase one and support the company because they can up the game for others :)

I agree, white is so boring for this car. I'm just trying to find it for a favourable price shipped to the UK :/

CONGRATULATIONS Kei!!!
Well, I have to agree with you that purple is way better than white on this car.
I'm trying to hold out for blue or hot pink to be released..
this car looks AMAZING in crazy colors!! Good for/on Bentley for being brave!!

Congrats, it really looks like a great model, and purple is the way to go imo!
That car is a beast! I saw the review in ignition TV and that sound
. I like the CF work and grills, paint work. Congrats really nice model. Can't wait for the AMGs and paganis.

As a long-time fan of British cars and a new fan of Almost Real, I should be tempted - however, somehow, this doesn't do it for me

Sadly, I feel the same way, I think it looks very good, but I don't know, it's just not wowing me!

Maybe is the colour then. They are coming out with a green one, you should wait. I dont have a single purple model in my collection, so i thought is lovely. Secondly i thought it goes well together with my Aston Martin V12 Vantage
I think it's the subject matter that might be not as exciting as an AUTOart supercar. The Continental has been made by Minichamps for 10 years and recently also by Welly Bburago and Paragon. Although this is a gt3r version that has not been made before the other versions have been on the market for a long time. Nonetheless I think the AR version is the most detailed one. Looking forward to their Pullman and Paganis.

Might be we already saw that model out for too long? I mean I like that car when I see it in the streets, especially if they're in a dark greyish color and/or in the sports version with black wheels. I also liked the GT Spirit versions, somehow I just never pulled the trigger


Also, that purple color certainly isn't doing it for me, but also the white version doesn't strike me as "beautiful". However, I assume I'd be better off with a regular version, as I personally am not a big fan of the GT3R version.
