Bentley Hunaudieres

Bentley Hunaudieres is a high-performance supercar prototype launched by Bentley on the 1999 Geneva Salon International de l'Auto. It is powered by a W16 Volkswagen engine that produces 623 bhp at 6000 rpm.

This prototype car was based on a Lamborghini Diablo VT chassis, later Bentley would develop a special chassis to cope with the 600 bhp W-16 engine they plan to use in the production car.

When the car would eventually be available, you could surely count on an estimated price of over Ј 250,000. But for this amount you would take ownership of a real high-performance street legal supercar with all the refinement and comfort of your 'every day' Bentley Arnage.

This new Bentley should be extremely fast, a top speed of over 200 mph was stated, but still it would be highly comfortable and easy to drive. Although with an estimted acceleration of only 4 seconds to 60 mph and only 12 seconds to reach 100 mph, who cares what happens behind you, you would need to focus yourself on the road ahead, things can get very close extremely fast at these kinds of speed. The prototype was finished in a very nice metallic English racing green, with a green and tan leather interior and chromed lower body panels, also the 20 inch wheels became chromed.

According to Tony Gott, acting Chief Executive at Bentley in 1999, the market should be large enough to built about 300
