The Future Of Cars, Circa 1999


Name: Bentley Hunaudières
Debuted: Geneva Motor Show
Vision Of The Future: After being purchased by VW and separated from Rolls Royce, Bentley needed a new direction. The Hunaudiéres was named for the straight where the company originally made its name during the 24 Hours of Le Mans race and previews a company interested in making speedy super cars.
Closest Modern Vehicle: The design did impact the look of the Bentley Continental GT, but the W16 engine and overall layout wound up in the Bugatti Veyron.
