After 10 months of preparation, the first Speed Six Continuation Car is complete, and for six months Bentley will abuse it as it gets ready to make 12 production versions car auto cars
. The team used the original mechanics notes from the era to find all of the details that were improved between 1929 and 1930 to help it defend its victory and made it such a legend.
Making use of a 6.5-liter six-cylinder engine that was created using 600 new parts, early dyno testing shows that the continuation car makes 205 hp , which is within 5 hp , or 2.4 percent, of the 1930, race-tuned engine.Trimmed in authentic materials and offered in five period-correct paint colors, the example going to Goodwood is finished in Parsons Napier Green with a tan leather interior. And it will now be run hard and put away wet as Bentley seeks to ensure that it is ready for customers.
Over the next six months, Car Zero will undergo a test program that represents the equivalent of 21,748 miles of road driving and 4,971 miles of track driving. Each customer car will then take 10 months to build. That’s why it will take Bentley until the end of 2025 to deliver all 12 customer cars – each of which has already been spoken for. That will give prospective owners plenty of time to spec their cars out with the help of Mulliner, Bentley’s in-house customization department.
