You have a large tank with money, but you’ve got three times the number of horsepower of a Bugatti Veyron.

The Bentley looked eight months ago as a regular Continental GT. Three quarters of a year and to 310,000 euros there is a dragracer with 3125 hp, five times as much as the most powerful Continental GT from the factory. The engine comes from a Chevrolet: a 10.2-liter V8 with twin-turbo.

Not only in terms of power the Bentley on a steroid diet. The new interior is made entirely of carbon fiber, while the car itself is fitted with a reinforced, steel body.

The most striking is yet to come: the Bentley may just get on the road. Racer Steve Neimantas is coming from in the Street Eliminator class of the FIA European Championship Drag Racing. In that class you come only straatlegale cars.
