I think the Bentley Hunaudieres Concept, should have had production, even a say 100 limited production would have been enough.

Gentlemen, please remove your hats as we honor the supercar that never was, but should've been. "Only if" comes to mind, "only if they built it", "only if they stopped bickering", "only if I was a rock star with a supermodel girlfriend". What, just me again?

Oh well.


R.I.P.

a long time ago....when they first unveiled it to the public the tranny tore itself apart, and they had to rebuild...then they discovered that they would have to add a wing for high speed and it cut it from 250 to like 220 or 230


apparently they designed the shape of the car, then touched it up in the wind tunnel last, and its supposed to be the other way around......design in wind tunnel, then design to make suitable for the eye

i like this car, but somehow it doesn't strike me as such a loss. it was soooooooooo hyped and never delivered (not even once!) on a part of the promise. the only time they showed it in public the car spun off. vw got way ahead of themselves with this car: over-promised and didn't even under-deliver.

my condolences...

well that's not a really good reason to stop is it? i mean the design of the car is not that bad really. i'm sure they could try harder to make the whole thing work... is it me? or am i just too dumb to understand?
