Europe's quickest FWD car

[JamesBryan]

Was at Santa Pod for the Doorslammers event over the weekend and this car was one of many that caught my eye.

Mega quick.

Still a B18 engine but with a big turbo and about 45psi of boost on E85. Around 1400bhp!

Oh and most of the runs that weekend were only up to 3rd gear.... Ground the teeth off 4th on the first day ?

Did I just see a Bentley do a wheelie?

Yeah, that's Martin Smith's 3000bhp Bentley.

It's a twin turbo LS engine I think, but they're having trouble launching it properly. Once it gets going it's a 7 second car at over 200mph.

And it's still street legal lol.

No cup though....

Lol at that Bentley. Never seen that before.

I kind of don't appreciate the purpose built stuff, prefer it when they are still road legal. I assume that Bentley is.

Yeah - I get what you mean about that. The absurdity that you could nip down to the shops legally - in something like this?!

Yeah it is road legal, just swap over to pump fuel and it's good to go. It usually runs in a class called street eliminator which all the cars are street legal, all taxes and MOT'd and they have to do a 26 mile cruise including stopping for fuel and hot starting.

The original guy that built it bought it as a standard Continental GT for about £80k and then sold the engine to get some money back and sent the car to Webster race engineering for the chassis work.

Bently doing a wheelie is like something you’d see on a Need For Speed game ?

 

[T man]

"Sorry dear, I've spilt the Champagne" how did you do that, I was wheeling the Bentley!!!!!!!?

Wasn't fussed about seeing the fast Civic, did someone say Wheelie in a Bentley.
