    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.

    It's like a giant Hot Wheels track!

    Well, part of a giant Hot Wheels track.

    Would it be cooler if the curves had them heading right for each other? The angles are unfortunately reminiscent of the ubiquitous "memorial ribbon" magnets--seriously, turn this upside down and that's pretty much what you have.

    Sorry, Mr. Judah.

    That's impressive. I think Jalopnik should commission him to do a sculpture. Maybe something inspired by this:

    Mild Ferrari threadjack....

    This was at the Pacific Northwest Historics in Seattle over the weekend...

    Chassis # 0666, the very first Ferrari Testarossa 250 TR. Built in 1957... best guesstimate is $20 mil... and it sounds as nice as it looks...
