Don’t expect any huge surprises right here, yet Carwow has actually procured 4 generations of high-performance Bentleys together on a landing strip in order to race them against each other.
On the track, the group has put together a contemporary Continental GT Speed, a Bentley Continental R Mulliner from the late ’90s, and a Bentley Turbo R from the late ’80s. They are aligned versus their forefather, a 93-year-old Bentley Blower.
All supplied by Bentley to show the car manufacturer’s background of efficiency, the Blower featured in this video is the real post, not a continuation special. It is, therefore, one of the most pricey car ever included on the network, with an approximated worth of ₤ 20 million ($23 million USD at current currency exchange rate).

Powered by a 4.0-liter inline four-cylinder engine, it makes an instead impressive 240 hp (179 kW/243 PS) and also an estimated 258 lb-ft (350 Nm) of torque. Beside cars that make in between 60 to 400 hp much more (45 kW/61 PS to 298 kW/405 PS more), it does rather well.
Still, in the quarter-mile sprint, it is thoroughly beaten, taking 21.3 seconds at a full throttle of 70 miles per hour (113 km/h). Comparative, the Continental GT Speed took simply 11.4 secs– just a little over fifty percent as long.
In the rolling race, though, it did quite possibly. Although it completed last, it was much closer to the competition and also took care of to top 80 miles per hour (129 km/h). In the stopping examination, also, every one of the cars and trucks did rather well. Although the Blower took a lot longer to stop than the rest, it stopped faster than you could anticipate for such an old lorry.
Where the Blower stood out one of the most, though, remained in the last examination. With all 4 chauffeurs loading into the 93-year-old Bentley, it was still with the ability of getting to 80 miles per hour (129 km/h), though not in what you may call comfort.
