    I'm very glad that Bentley is reverting to its early heritage, in a tasteful and appropriate manner, of course. It'll be so much better when they start mounting the superchargers over the front bumpers again.



    As for the weight, those old Bentley's were called locomotives, and that didn't hold them back from winning LeMans a few times.

    This car is completely insane!! It has less HP than the ZR1, almost the same top speed, and weighs as much as a large SUV. (In Jeremy Clarkson's voice) "How is that even possible!!!???"

    621 horsepowers is 6 less than the McLaren F1, the many years fastest car in the whole world.

    @A strolling player: Funny, I was at the Volo Auto Museum the other day and they had a collection of vintage Illinois license plates. A few of them (late 20's - early 30's vintage) had municipal plates (forerunners of "city stickers") from Chicago tacked on. All the tags said "City of Chicago Registration, vehicle less [more] than 35hp". Nothing else I've seen made me appreciate more how far we've come as a motoring society. It made all the Model A's on display seem positively quaint.

    This little piggy went to racing, this little piggy wrapped around the go-pedal on a 917, and the rest of the little piggies hung on in fear and atavistic prehensile style like an orangutan's foot on a branch.

    Despite the aero problem, I read that Piech had plans for a flat-16. I think they built two motors (I hope they still exist?), but the advent of turbocharging and the 1972 Le Mans rules kiboshed those plans.

    @brandegee: Yeah, Piëch was planning to do like his grandfather Ferdinand Porsche did with the Auto Union Typ C and its V16 engine for CanAm, but then they realized the flat-12 with turbos would be more than enough. And he had to wait three decades to finally get his sixteen cylinder engine in the Veyron!


    But then who else can claim to have had a hand in building such a rocketship of an engine? Giorgio Moroder and Claudio Zampolli and that would be it.

    it has snails the size of basketballs. it's an oil-cooled 180-degree V12. the glassed-in lights have an effect remarkably like a tight sweater on Megan Fox.


    i would definitely sacrifice some toes for the pleasure.

    @beta.rogan: Yeah, I agree. He appears to pass a WM (or something else with a Cosworth V8) and at least one 911. It's either late in the race or the field was small that year.
