Bentley Cars 2009

Bentley unveiled their latest showcar at the 1999 Geneva Auto Show, the Bentley Hunaudières, a real low slung sportscar. 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.

The Bentley Hunaudières was named after the straight on the famous Le Mans circuit in France, just like the Mulsanne and Arnage are also names found on this circuit, where Bentley became almost legendary racing there during the 1920's.

This exclusive concept car was created to show the audience the way Bentley would like to go after the VW take-over, Bentley plans to build high-power cars but with a high level of finish and practicality on the road. The Hunaudières could very well be used to compete in the 24 H. of Le Mans in the beginning of the next century, a press release stated that if the public opinion allowed it, the Bentley Hunaudières would enter production during 2001.
