Looks pretty mean ! I hope they enter Le Mans with it. Good luck to them.

I wonder how much Bentley is actually left underneath.

That is a BIG race car.

[EDLT]

In length and width terms is it bigger than a Murcialago? It might be slightly taller.

Not quite true....

Apparently the 'road' door weighs 54kg while the 'race' door is down to 7kg!
That's some luxury removed!

The car has lost more than a ton of weight (1000kg's)

Some might say that this qualifies quite how luxurious the modern Bentley really is

The thing is, it looks so mindbendingly bonkers that it will generate plenty of positive press even if it isn't competitive. It is a winner regardless IMHO and I am seriously glad that they have done it. The most obvious parallel is the Aston Martin Rapide that Dr Bez and company ran at the N24 the other year or at the other end of the scale - the W12 A8 (funily enough related to the Bentley) that ran there this year.
