Residents protest erection of gas plant within estate over fear of explosion [PHOTOS]

Leave a Comment on Residents protest erection of gas plant within estate over fear of explosion [PHOTOS]
OYO, Nigeria – Residents of Aerodrome GRA in Ibadan have protested the erection of a gas plant within the estate due to incidences of gas explosions in the country.
The residents under the umbrella of Aerodrome GRA Homeowners and Residents (AGRA) appealed to the Oyo State government, Department of Petroleum Resources (DPR) to immediately revoke and stop the construction of the LPG gas plant in the area.
OgeneAfrican learnt that a gas plant is currently under construction in the estate but residents while protesting, insisted that citing the project in the area poses a lot of danger to both residents and other citizens.
AGRA Vice President, Professor Omolola Atalabi, while addressing journalists at the weekend, begged the state government to save residents from the imminent danger.
Atalabi who spoke on behalf of over one thousand residents of the area maintained that proper Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA), which is a part of the conditions for the establishment of a gas plant, was not carried out before the purported approval was granted.
Atalabi called for immediate revocation of the approval purportedly granted to the gas plant.
She added that the protest against the construction of the gas plant became necessary to avoid what happened at Abule Egba in Lagos State where about 23 people were killed and to avoid a similar occurrence where many lives were lost during a gas explosion in Kaduna State.
"We are shocked and dismayed that approval could have been given for such construction, considering the obvious health hazards and other environmental dangers of siting a gas plant in a gated community such as the Aerodrome GRA.
"In the wake of several gas explosions in various parts of the country, the point cannot be overemphasized that it is inappropriate to locate a gas plant in the precincts of Aerodrome GRA, as the emission of substances from the plant will be hazardous to residents, and the devastations of fire outbreaks cannot be ruled out. The scientific evidence for these occurrences is incontrovertible. Several examples abound.
"In March 2020, 23 people were killed and 50 residential buildings destroyed at Abule-Ado Area, Lagos state, as a result of an explosion at a gas station sited within the residential area. In July 2020, there was a gas explosion at the Kaduna LPG which claimed several lives and properties. In September 2020, another explosion in the Orile Area of Lagos led to the destruction of residential buildings, just to mention a few examples.
"In addition to the lessons from the unfortunate incidents listed above, which clearly illustrate the dangers of locating gas plants in residential communities, paragraph 2.3 (g) of the Guidelines for the approval of License for construction/installation, modification, relocation and operation of Liquified Petroleum Gas, 2018 issued by the Department for Petroleum Resources (DPR) provides that "the proposed site shall not constitute threats or hazards to the area".
"We have every reason to believe that a proper Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA), which is a part of the condition precedent for the establishment of a gas plant, was not carried out 1 the purported approval was granted.
"We appeal to concerned authorities, including the Oyo State Government and DPR, to save us from the imminent danger to our lives posed by the construction of the gas plant."

PINE SPRINGS, TEXAS (Culberson County). Pine Springs is on U.S. Highway 62/180 fifty-nine miles north of Van Horn and three miles southeast of Guadalupe Peak in Guadalupe Mountains National Park in northwestern Culberson County. The site was known to nineteenth-century travelers crossing Guadalupe Pass; among those who camped there were Lt. Francis Theodore Bryan and Capt. Randolph Barnes Marcy in 1849, John Russell Bartlett in 1850, and Capt. John Pope in 1854. In 1858 the Butterfield Overland Mail built a stage station, called the Pinery, at the site. When the first westbound mail arrived on September 28, 1858, only a palisade corral had been built, and station-keeper Henry Ramstein and his assistants were still living in tents. The Pinery was completed in November 1858 but was abandoned in August 1859, when the mail route was shifted to the south to take advantage of the protection afforded by forts Stockton and Davis. In 1870 troops from Fort Quitman under Maj. Albert Morrow rendezvoused at the site with reinforcements from forts Stockton and Davis to prepare for scouting expeditions against the Mescalero Apaches in the Guadalupes. The troops marched up into McKittrick Canyon and promptly became lost, although they did stumble onto one Mescalero village, which they enthusiastically pillaged. In the mid-1880s, after the Mescaleros had finally been eliminated as a threat, soldiers, freighters, and other transients still used the Pinery for shelter. By 1907 rancher Walter Glover had bought the land on which the Pinery stood and had settled in the area. Ten years later he brought his bride, Bertha, to Pine Springs. In 1928, when U.S. Highway 62 was opened, they built the Pine Springs Cafe, soon a stopping place for automobile travelers between El Paso and Carlsbad, New Mexico, which Bertha Glover ran until her death in 1982. She also became the postmistress when a post office was established in 1942, at which time the population of Pine Springs was estimated at fifty; the post office closed the next year. The estimated population grew to seventy in the mid-1940s, when three businesses were in operation, but by the mid-1960s had fallen to ten. Upon the establishment of Guadalupe Mountains National Park, which opened to the public in 1972, the estimated population rose to twenty; most of the residents worked either for the park or for the state highway department. In 1990 the community's population was still reported as twenty. Pine Springs claims to be the windiest town in Texas. Each year between February and April the town is buffeted by winds averaging fifty to eighty miles an hour and sometimes reaching 105 miles an hour. In 2000 the population remained at twenty.

stated on April 28, 2016 in an episode of "Inside Amy Schumer":
"You can absolutely get a gun if you have several felonies as long as you buy it on the Internet or at a gun show."
By Lauren Carroll April 29, 2016
Fact-checking Amy Schumer's 'Welcome to the Gun Show'
Searching for a great gift for all ages? Look no further, Amy Schumer has the product for you.
In a recent sketch on her Comedy Central show Inside Amy Schumer, Schumer and fellow comedian Kyle Dunnigan play infomercial hosts pitching viewers on the perfect "stocking stuffer": a handgun. A hopeful buyer laments that he can't get a gun because he has a criminal record riddled with felonies.
"Caller, you bite your tongue, you silly goose!" Schumer's character says. "You can absolutely get a gun if you have several felonies, as long as you buy it on the Internet or at a gun show."
"If you go to a gun show, you can get an unlicensed seller to sell you a gun, no questions asked," Dunnigan added
We've looked at similar claims before. Because this sketch is getting a lot of attention, we wanted to recap whether a felon can actually buy a gun on the Internet or at a gun show.
This isn't the first time Schumer has tackled gun issues; she has been a vocal advocate for stricter gun laws since a gunman killed two and injured many others at a showing of her feature film Trainwreck in a Louisiana movie theater in 2015.
But it is her first time on the Truth-O-Meter.
The 'gun show loophole'
To be clear: The kind of transaction Schumer's character describes is illegal. Federal law prohibits felons from getting a gun unless their rights have been formally restored.
Felons can theoretically get around this obstacle, however, by buying guns from unlicensed sellers who are not required to conduct criminal background checks. This is sometimes referred to as the "gun show loophole," even though it refers to all private sales, and not everyone considers it a loophole.
Schumer's sketch was referring to this aspect of current gun law, said a spokesman for Everytown for Gun Safety, gun control advocacy group Schumer promotes at the end of the sketch.
Anyone who repeatedly buys and sells firearms "with the principal motive of making a profit" is supposed to get a dealer's license, whether they deal out of a brick-and-mortar store, a gun show, or online, according to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. Licensed firearm dealers must run background checks on non-licensed buyers before selling them a gun.
But the law does not require a dealer's license for private hobbyists and others who occasionally buy and sell guns. If an individual buys a gun from someone who is not required to have a license, the purchaser does not have to undergo a background check.
Scott Perry
stated on January 8, 2023 in ABC This Week interview
"Parents that go to school board meetings" and question the curriculum are being "flagged by the Department of Justice and the FBI for attending a meeting."
By Amy Sherman • January 10, 2023
So a violent felon could buy a gun from a hobbyist over the Internet or at a gun show because he or she would not be subject to a background check. The purchase would still be illegal, because of the buyer's felon status, but it would not create an immediate red flag. The same thing can happen at a gun show.
There are a few important limitations on these sorts of private transactions.
First, it is illegal for private sellers to transfer a gun to someone they either know or reasonably believe is prohibited from owning a gun, for example, if the seller knows the buyer is a felon. But private sellers "can give themselves plausible deniability by not asking the necessary questions," Garen Wintemute, a professor of emergency medicine at the University of California Davis, previously told PolitiFact.
So in the case of Schumer's show, she and her co-host would not have that cushion of plausible deniability because the hopeful buyer told them outright that he is a felon. The giant "gun show" banner doesn't make a difference.
Second, private sales, online or otherwise, cannot take place across state lines, so the buyer and seller must be in the same state. And there are many restrictions on shipping guns, so the actual transaction is likely to take place in person, as opposed to the buyer entering credit card information online, and the seller shipping the gun to the buyer's house.
And third, several states — California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, New York, Oregon, Rhode Island, Washington — and the District of Columbia require background checks for all private gun sales.
With all these restrictions, how many people actually buy guns without a background check? The truth is we don't really know. The only statistics floating around are outdated and flawed.
Professors at Northeastern and Harvard universities conducted a gun survey in 2015 that isn't yet published. The national survey of 4,000 non-institutionalized adults found that 22 percent of the people who purchased guns — at gun shows, stores or elsewhere — underwent no background check, Matthew Miller, professor of Health Sciences and Epidemiology at Northeastern and co-director of the Harvard Injury Control Research Center, told us in January.
When researchers excluded purchases between family and friends, that number dropped to 15 percent, which equates to approximately 5 million gun owners whose most recent purchase did not involve a background check.
One more thing: Later in Schumer's sketch, another hopeful buyer calls in to ask if he can get a gun even though he's a suspected terrorist on the no-fly list.
"You're fine, sweet potato fry," Schumer's character says.
A March 2015 report from the U.S. Government Accountability Office examined how many people applying for gun purchases went through the FBI's instant background check system and also were on the FBI's list of "those known or reasonably suspected of being involved in terrorist activity."
Between February 2004, and December 2014, 2,233 people on the list applied to buy a weapon. Of those, 2,043 were allowed to proceed.
Schumer's character said, "You can absolutely get a gun if you have several felonies as long as you buy it on the Internet or at a gun show."
The kind of transaction Schumer described is possible, though illegal, and far more complicated than her comment suggests. Federal law prohibits felons from buying guns. But with some effort, they could purchase a gun from private sellers over the Internet or at a gun show without getting caught, because private sellers are not required to run background checks.
Schumer is doing a comedy bit, but compared with similar claims we've checked, her phrasing makes it sound like buying guns with a felony is easy and lawful. That is not the case. The context is significant. We rate her claim Half True.

HOW TO BUY YOUR BRACELETS
"Maasai bracelets against FGM" are an original and unique gift that support the Maasai people and the fight against FGM. Their lively colors are a clear example of the traditional Maasai adornments still in use today.
These bracelets are hand-made and carefully designed by socially vulnerable women within the Maasai tribe in Kenya and Tanzania.
Although each bracelet is different and unique, they all have one thing in common: a symbol of the fight against FGM. This is reflected in an "X", representing women trapped in a diamond, imprisioned by the constant threat of violent mutilation by knife.
If you are thinking of a special gift, something nice, different and supporting a good cause, Maasai bracelets against FGM are, without a doubt, your best choice.
Generate a real income alternative for these women and Maasai youth so they can get out of poverty and become self-sustaining.
Reinvest the resources generated by this campaign in other projects for the eradication of FGM in Kenya and Tanzania.
Make this bracelet a symbol of the fight against FGM in Spain and other countries around us to make people aware of this terrible practice.
These bracelets are made by Maasai artisans in Kenya and Tanzania based on a production squeme that our partners (local NGOs) oversee:
Tasaru Ntomonok (rescue women) in Kenya and NAFGEM (Network Against Female Genital Mutilation) in Tanzania.
Female producers:
They are adult women who live in poverty or without other means to support themselves.
We are especially interested in chosing women who used to practice FGM for a living and now want to stop for good. So, in order to be part of this project it's essential that they commit themselves to opposing FGM.
Thanks to the work of the local organizations that coordinate the project, women are not only trained to produce the bracelets but also learn about human rights and gender equality.
We give women everything they need to make the bracelets and each woman works at home, delivering the goods to our local partners according to their deadlines.
Project benefits:
Every woman involved in this project: gets a real and sustainable source of income for themselves and their families, fighting the helplessness caused by the lack of economic independence.
The local organizations that coordinate the project: are paid for their work and they also help us maintain a local network to keep working on other initiatives.
Mundo Cooperante: we generate resources with which we can do our work in international aid projects, especially those that have to do with FGM and early and/or forced marriages.
Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) includes procedures that intentionally involve the total or partial surgical removal or injury to the female genital organs for non-medical reasons. Internationally recognized as a violation of women's rights, this practice affects more than 140 million girls and women in the world and more than 3 million each year are at risk.
Geographically, FGM practice mainly focuses on sub-Saharan Africa, although there are also cases in some areas of the Middle East and Asia.
Mundo Cooperante has been fighting this barbaric practice for years, working on projects with African civil society organizations in Kenya and Tanzania and also raising awareness with the Spanish population on this reality, which although is still relatively unknown, remains a global problem in a globalized world.
Specifically, within the Maasai tribe, the rate of incidence of FGM is nearly 70% of women between 15 and 49 years old, and although the average age of girls affected keeps decreasing, the number of them who refuse both FGM and forced marriage is increasing.

These five congressional races have been identified by experts as "true coin flips" and crucial battlegrounds for Democrats looking to take back the House.
Their model, which uses a number of factors including polls, previous voting behavior, fundraising, and expert ratings, has classified 14 races as toss-ups, meaning both candidates have less than a 60% of chance of winning, 10 "lean Democratic" and 10 "lean Republican".
The challenger: The Democratic nominee is Maine state representative and majority whip Jared Golden. He's a Marine Corps veteran who's served in Iraq and Afghanistan and former staffer for Sen. Susan Collins, who touts his record of passing bills to help union workers in the legislature.
The lay of the land: The largest congressional district east of the Mississippi River, Maine's 2nd district encompasses 80% of the state. It's largely rural and working-class, with a tradition of strong organized labor.
Partisan dynamics: The 2nd district's Cook Political Voting Index (PVI) is R+2, meaning it's two points more Republican than the rest of the country, on average. While Democrats have a very slim registration advantage, the district voted for Trump in 2016 by a margin of seven percentage points, 51% to 44%.
Ratings and predictions: FiveThirtyEight's forecast rates the race as a toss-up, giving Golden a 3 in 5 chance of winning.
What the local experts say: Michael Sherman, a politics reporter who has been covering the race for the Bangor Daily News, told Business Insider in an email that Golden's success will likely be reliant on how much he's able to tack Poliquin to Trump.
"For me, the environment is the key thing to watch. The polling that I've seen seems to consistently suggest that Trump is more popular there than he is in the US and Maine overall," wrote Sherman.
Sherman noted, however, that the presence of two liberal unaffiliated candidates in the race could marginally benefit Golden by siphoning votes away from Poliquin in Maine's recently-introduced ranked-choice voting system.
He's notably crossed the aisle on issues including abortion, climate change, and government spending, but he also voted to repeal to the ACA and to approve the Trump tax bill.
The lay of the land: The 26th district is comprised of the southernmost tip of Florida, and includes the popular vacation destinations of the Florida Keys and Everglades National Park. It's almost 80% Hispanic, with a sizeable population of Cuban immigrants.
Partisan dynamics: The 26th's district's Cook political rating is D+6, making it the most Democratic district to be represented by a Republican in the country. The district went for Hillary Clinton by a 16-point margin over Donald Trump in 2016.
What the local experts say: Ryan Nicol, who covers South Florida for FloridaPolitics.com, told Business Insider that given Curbelo's bipartisan record, he's not so sure that Democrats can successfully paint him as a Trump surrogate.
"A big sticking point in this race is whether the Democrats can make [Curbelo] seem not-so-moderate," he said.
But Nicol wasn't positive that the Democrats' best efforts would be necessarily enough to unseat Curbelo — even if they win back the House.
Young has been playing defense by distancing himself from the Trump administration's controversial agricultural tariffs that have adversely affected Iowa corn and soybean farmers.
The lay of the land: The 3rd district covers a chunk of Southwestern Iowa, including the capital city of Des Moines. It's over 90% white.
Partisan dynamic: The 3rd district's Cook partisan lean is R+1. Trump carried the district by just 4 percentage points over Hillary Clinton in 2016.
Ratings and predictions: FiveThirtyEight rates the race as 'lean Democratic', giving Axne a 5 in 8 chance of winning. An October 25-27 poll from Siena College/The New York Times has Axne leading Young by 2 points.
"Neither party has enough voters without getting a good chunk of the independent voters and also 'poaching' some members of the other party," he said.
Goldford said Axne and other will be more successful in courting the voters they need by focusing on the "bread-and-butter issues" such as jobs and infrastructure, as opposed to running the risk of alienating voters by making the race revolve around a "polarizing" figure such as Trump.

In the past, I have spent a lot of time raising money for various different charities and was taught from a young age to get involved with fund raising whenever I could. Yet I hadn't ever given thought to actually joining a charity and being on the other side of fundraising.
There was no hesitation from me when I was asked to join, it really was a very simple decision and I couldn't wait to be involved from day one. Having a family member fighting cancer at that time, I saw how everyone pulled together and then being part of the team that achieved Guinness World Record for charity. These were the two main reasons for me to get involved. The drive and passion of the other trustees just confirmed that I had joined something special.
During the early days; before we were officially registered with the Charity Commission, we fast realised the challenge that lay in front of us before we could even begin to fund raise and help people.
Firstly, we needed the infrastructure. In our first meeting with my fellow co-founders, I was asked if I would like to be the Charity Secretary, something I was keen to do as it plays into my skill set. This role includes taking minutes at our monthly meetings, sorting the emails, setting up and running our social media, as well as writing the policies that would form part of the governance of KOAC. Being a trustee is so much more than just the day to day tasks that form my role.
As the board of KOAC we have a rule that no trustee has a higher position than anyone else and all voting rights are equal. A Trustees title is simply a job role. For instance, Ben is our chairman by title whilst Dan is Treasurer, this means one organises the structure and chairs the meetings, whilst the other keeps an eye on the accounts and all things monetary. Whilst there are skills they both possess that make them excellent in their roles, neither have any more power than anyone else. We have always been keen to emphasise that we should all have an equal and fair say on how KOAC is run.
This guideline has been maintained as we have added new trustees. It is really important to the charity that each of us has a skill set that was identified and each of us brings something different; everyone is made to feel like their contribution is as significant as each other's.
The responsibilities the board members and I share are many and varied, including deciding where our money is spent and on what, fundraising ideas, ways to raise our profile and ensuring we are complying with the Charity Commission and our own Governance Document. We all have different opinions and different personalities, but that is healthy and means that we are very open to ideas and ready to think outside the box when problem solving.
Thankfully, all decisions are undertaken with the same aim and that is to make KOAC as successful as possible, to raise our profile and be recognised as a cancer charity that makes a difference. We know that if we are ticking these boxes, it means we are helping lots of people have some respite from this awful illness that affects so many.
Within the last year, I have had the pleasure of speaking to the people that we help. I make contact, arrange to meet them (if we can) and keep them informed of the progress of their event. It's amazing getting to know them and finding out what they would like to do. It is very important to all of us that what we arrange is special so they can just focus on the time with their friends and families, having fun and creating lifelong memories. My aim with any event is to have everything, to the finest detail organised to make it stress free for everyone.
Obviously this takes organisation and hard work, but it also takes a slice of good luck. We have been fortunate that we have had a lot of really nice companies and people that can't do enough to help KOAC and myself with these trips.
I really enjoy the part that I get to play within the charity. It can be challenging at times but each trustee has the same drive and that is to make KOAC what we know it can be and help lots of families along the way!
Some people have asked the question whether it is difficult for me being the only female out of the seven trustees. To be honest, it really isn't. The founding members were put in place due to the skills they possessed and the fact that they were heavily involved with the Guinness World Record. We knew there was a shared passion for setting up KOAC.
Diversity is rightly a very important topic in the world today and we realise that with are dealing with a disease that does not discriminate, so we explore a number of options any time we have added to our trustee numbers. We have been keen to utilise people we already know; mainly as we are in the early stages of being a charity and we knew where our talents are lacking so we made shortlists out of potential candidates had these skills.
In the times we have added to the board, we ensure that discuss a number of candidates and all members have to agree on the most appropriate person for what we are looking for at that time. Sitting here right now, I think our recruitment has been excellent.
My plan for the next 6 months – I have spent the last few weeks researching ways we can reach out and help more people and the different ways that we can offer help. This will always be my main focus moving forward as it's fundamental to what we do. However, we have some exciting projects coming up which I cannot wait to get my teeth into including our 2019 Guinness World Record attempt (more on that to follow in due course) and the Newport Marathon (there's still a couple of places left for this, if you fancy donning your running shoes).
Often people ask what is the best thing about being involved in running a charity and is it worth it. I don't have an original answer, but my favourite part is helping people giving them exactly what they ask for and hearing their stories afterwards. Let's face it, it is why we are doing this in the first place!
As for whether it is worth it, yes probably doesn't do it justice. The sense of pride we all feel when we are able to help is bigger than I ever thought it would be. People and their families are going through the biggest fight of their lives and if we can help for one day, one weekend or for however long they need us, then it is the least we can do.
There is also an overwhelming amount of generosity from our supporters, we are new to this and rely heavily on peoples donations. The kindness that is shown to us to aid us with our goals never ceases to impress me. And as I have already mentioned we have been extremely lucky with the donations received along with the support we are given from family, friends and businesses.
I look forward to more of this in 2019 and beyond!
While reading this, if you know someone that would benefit from our help, please, please don't hesitate to get in touch!

New Bentley Continental GT review – has Bentley's new GT been worth the wait?
Nov 29, 2017 Steve Sutcliffe
The latest Continental represents a giant leap forward, and now offers genuine driver engagement alongside the expected GT brief.
Bentley Continental GT review-2
PRICE: $209,100 (estimated)
Pro Astonishing ability for such a big car, raw performance, refinement, cabin quality.
Con Thirst for fuel, but at this level, who cares? Could the V8 be even better for less?
Just over 15 years ago Bentley produced its first all-new car under the ownership of VW, and it was called the Continental GT. Based on the same platform as the VW Phaeton executive saloon it proved to be a good car, but not a great one – not even when it was revised and significantly improved in 2011.
Now, though, the Conti GT has been completely re-engineered, to a point where Bentley claims the car is 100 per cent brand new, which is a good thing because it faces plenty of competition in the form of cars as diverse as Aston Martin DB11and the Ferrari GTC4 Lusso. And the good news is the Bentley looks, drives and feels a whole lot better this time round, even in this pre-production form.
Tech highlights
The big news this time is that the GT shares its underpinnings not with a humble VW but, instead, with those of the Porsche Panamera. And this time, rather than having to work with hand-me-down parts from the VW empire, Bentley's engineers were involved with Porsche, right from the word go, so they could dictate exactly what they were going to end up with. And that, explains Bentley's director of Chassis Engineering, Keith Sharp, has made a massive difference to the end product.
"It's fair to say that we (Porsche and Bentley engineers) worked together on the project right from the word go, so right at the beginning of the concept stage we were involved" says Sharp. "And that's made a big difference all the way down the line. It basically means we got what we wanted, not merely what was available." Hence the reason Sharp and his team are so confident in the way the new GT drives, even if does still weigh a very long way the other side of two tonnes.
"The car is 76kg lighter than before" explains Sharp. "But now that we can control everything it does so much more precisely, control its weight and its dynamic behaviour, the fact that it weighs what it does, doesn't really matter. Because as you'll see when you drive it on the track, the level of control we've managed to install in the car is in a completely different league from before."
The chassis and suspension of the new GT are arguably the areas in which it has improved the most, and there are numerous reasons why.
For a start the engine is set around 150mm further back in the chassis than before, which in itself makes a huge difference to the GT's fundamental balance. At the front there are double wishbones with a multi-link arrangement at the rear, but at both ends there is a three chamber air suspension system with a 48V electronically "active" anti-roll bar, and it's these elements specifically that Sharp claims provide the biggest increases in control.
Engine, transmission and 0-100kph time
At its heart the Conti GT is still powered by a 6.0-litre twin-turbo W12, but despite featuring the same capacity and a similar fundamental design as the previous W12, it is genuinely a brand new engine, mated to a brand new dual clutch gearbox that is essentially Bentley's interpretation of a Porsche Panamera's eight-speed dual clutch.
Even the firing order is different from the previous W12's because Bentley found that by altering it, and by playing endlessly with the tuning of the exhaust valving amongst many other aspects, they could make the engine smoother yet more sporting in feel. And more powerful and economical at the same time.
The outputs are as eye-watering as you'd expect. Maximum power is 626bhp at 6000rpm, while maximum torque is 664lb ft and is developed as a flat peak between 1350-4500rpm. Mated to a launch control system, this is sufficient energy to fire the 2244kg GT to 100kph in a faintly ridiculous 3.6sec and to a top speed of 333kph.
And blimey does it feel blisteringly quick in a straight line. The way it summons its energy with such effortless efficiency and simply propels you towards the horizon, as if you've been released from a giant bungee cord at the very extreme of its tension, reminds me of the first time I drove a Bugatti Veyron. The sense of acceleration is total, yet the sense of control – as if everything is going to be just fine, despite the fact that you appear to be travelling at Mach 2 for much of time – is also all encompassing. Combined with a new dual clutch gearbox that picks off ratios as quickly and calmly as a pick-pocket plundering its victims all the way along Oxford Street makes the GT a deeply impressive car to drive, or even just to be driven in.
The combined fuel economy claim of 10.14 L/100KM doesn't seem that horrendous, all things considered, nor does the 278g/km emissions number – assuming such numbers are of course 100% believable.
The brakes are the biggest seen on any production road car, with 420mm steel ventilated discs at the front and 380mm rotors at the back. And as before the GT is four-wheel drive – and needs to be with that much torque available from such low revs. But the way in which the power and torque is deployed has been radically altered in the new car, and switching between the three different drive modes available is key to the distribution of energy, and to the personality of the car in general.
Borderline brilliant, to be honest. The chassis and suspension of the new GT are arguably the areas in which it has improved the most, and there are numerous reasons why.
For starters, drivers get a choice of modes, including Comfort, Bentley and Individual.
In Comfort mode up to 38 per cent of the engine's torque will reach the front axle, which means the GT essentially feels like a cosseting four wheel-drive limo. At the same time the maps for the dampers, throttle, gearbox, ESP and exhaust all settle into their most relaxed and least intrusive settings, and as such the GT goes properly into waft mode.
Its steering however remains the same across all modes, unless you go deep into its menus and select Custom mode, in which you can alter everything to your own tastes (although quietly Bentley admits that only a few owners will want to change the way the car steers).
The next mode up is Bentley mode, and that's the one in which the engineers believe the car gives of its best when being driven on the road. It's a touch more sporting everywhere than in Comfort but still retains a sizeable dose of soothing refinement.
There is a delicious, deep-rooted sense of serenity about he way the GT glides across the landscape in Bentley mode. It purrs. It floats across uneven ground with a genuine feeling of majesty. And it's also quiet, whisperingly so if you sit back and really think about it. And the cabin quality, of course, is quite exquisite.
Yet at the same time the GT feels properly sorted on the road dynamically in Bentley mode, because it somehow manages to disguise its vast weight to a point where, just guessing, you might think it weighed only 1700 or so kilograms, not two and a quarter tonnes. That's how crisp its responses are, how nimble it feels, despite the silly numbers.
But it's not until you select Sport mode and drive it on a track that you can fully appreciate how far Bentley has gone with the car's dynamics this time, because do this and it goes to a level that is WAY beyond anything you might expect of it, so far beyond the previous version that you'd have a job to associate one with the other.
In Sport mode only 17 per cent of drive goes to the front axle, and everything else is set to deliver maximum sporting thrills, especially the exhaust and throttle maps. And the electronic suspension. In Sport mode the new GT feels, well, not quite like a full-blown sports car but at the very least like an extremely sporting GT car.
And if you turn the stability control off it will do things and reach angles of slide that a previous GT owner would never, ever believe possible. Sideways thrills are delivered in complete and rather beautiful control – to a point where you can actually use the weight of the thing to put it in places, and at subtle angles, that actually benefit the lap time. That's how adjustable, but also how well behaved the new GT is, if and when you take it by the scruff and throw it around.
Yet at the other end of the scale it is more comfortable and more refined on the road than ever before. And in the flesh it also happens to look about 10 times sexier than the last one as well.
Prices and rivals
It is quite a car, is the new Bentley Continental GT. For approximately $209,100 you could even call it a bargain. That's the same money that Aston Martin asks for a V8 DB11 – which is easily the best DB11, but which is still not especially close to being as good as the new Conti GT is. Then there's the Ferrari GTC Lusso, which is a fine machine, but can't match the Bentley for all round value, appeal or pure ability. For sure, this is the best GT car in the world right now.

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones introduced a harsh rule that his players must stand for the National Anthem ahead of games despite new rules the NFL is set to introduce which may be more lenient. Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott backed up his owner, saying protests for the anthem are out of place and take away from the game.
The QB addressed reporters at Cowboys camp Friday and said he's fine with Jerry's new rule that forces players to stand … 'cause it's something he's always believed in himself.
"I never protest during the anthem and I don't think that's the time or venue to do so," Dak said.
Contrasting Prescott's shoe-shuffling and tap-dancing, extra-woke Philadelphia Eagles player Malcolm Jenkins said in a locker room chat that he thinks Jones is a "bully" for silencing the individual voices of his players in a report from ESPN.
Take a look inside the lives of three close friends. Dre and Hassan have been robbing convenience stores and small banks together since high school, but they share something else in common other than making cold, hard cash…their love for Nikki.  The stakes are high after the trio takes on a scheme that unexpectedly sets off a chain of deadly events. With greed, betrayal, and heart ache pulling them all in separate directions, will they be able to overcome it all? Or will their very foundation crumble beneath lust, lies, and deception? With over 100 five-star reviews, "Torn Between a Goon and a Gangsta" is a rollicking ride full of drama, betrayal, and unexpected twists!
