Posted September 24th, 2009 by fahad majidi

The 24 hours of LeMans have a great place in the world of cars. And every car enthusiast knows that it all about the best drivers in the business along with greatly tuned cars which always give us one hell of a show. Apart from the drivers the cars are the main things that matter. And not any normal car can try to get up against these beasts on the road. Another of the LeMans series cars is from Bentley. From luxury machines to racing bred cars Bentley has captured a lot of excitement from the market. And all that reflects in the Speed 8.The design being like the usual LeMans cars has been kept really cool. The front headlights give out a crystal effect and that is one fo the main get on features of the car. Aerodynamics has been one of the best in the market and air flow is kept so smooth that resistive force from the air is nearly cut out of its drive. In the rear end stands a spoiler which also increases the down force and personally speaking makes the car look sexier. There are air intakes situated just below the hood level and they look way cooler than normal styled air intakes.

The engine is an 8.0 liter V8 engine which roots from Audi. This was previously a4.0 Liter engine from Audi and with modifications from Bentley a 4.0 Lite increase was made possible. The engine approximately produces 600 units of horsepower. Along with this the use of aluminum has lead to a lot of weight loss for the car and that has increased the weight to power ratio too giving the Speed 8 an upper hand in racing. Plainly speaking the Speed 8 is a hell of a racing car and we would look forward to a lot of wins in LeMans from this.
