Le Mans Winner v Bentley W12: DRAG RACE

Video Description

How’s THIS for a line-up! We’ve got our hands on the limited-edition Bentley Continental GT Speed Le Mans Edition, and it’s going head-to-head against an actual Le Mans race winner - the Bentley Speed 8! So let’s see how these absolute weapons compare. Starting with the Continental GT, it’s powered by a 6-litre twin-turbo W12, and that puts down 660hp and 900Nm. Power is sent to all four wheels via an 8-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox, and it tips the scales at 2,200kg. It’s limited to only 48 models, so naturally it comes with a pretty big price tag - £330,000! That’s £120,000 more than the standard car. Then alongside it we have the Bentley Speed 8. It’s powered by a 4-litre twin-turbo V8, and this can produce 600hp. So even though it’s down on power compared to the GT, it is SO much lighter, coming in at just 905kg. And seeing as it’s an actual Le Mans race winner, it’s pretty damn expensive, worth anywhere between £10m - £15m! So can a luxurious cruiser beat a Le Mans winner over the 1/4-mile?
