Most expensive drag race EVER!

Who’s ready for an ultra-expensive, ultra-luxurious drag race?!
We’ve got our hands on four different Bentleys, and let us tell you this may be one of our most valuable races yet!
So let’s run through the line-up. Starting off we have the Continental GT Speed. It’s packing a 6-litre twin-turbo W12 that’s good for 659hp and 900Nm. It’s pretty heavy, weighing in at 2,200kg, and it’s also pretty pricey, setting you back around £225,000.
Alongside it we have the Continental R. This is powered by a 6.75-litre turbocharged V8 that can put down 420hp and 880Nm. It’s even heavier than the GT, at 2,400kg, and one of these today will set you back around £150,000.
Up next is the Turbo R. It’s got a 6.8-litre turbocharged V8 up front, which is good for 302hp and 660Nm. It’s even heavier than the last two, at 2,450kg, and one of these today will set you back around £40,000.
And then finally, we have something very special - a Bentley Blower! It’s 93 years old, it’s powered by a 4-litre supercharged 4 cylinder that’s good for 240hp and 350Nm, and it’s worth an eye-watering £20,000,000!!!
That’s right, it’s our most expensive drag race yet! But which of these beauties will cross the finish line first? There’s only one way to find out… LET’S RACE!

[@wickedmartyn]

The fact that someones actually willing to allow that Blower Bentley to even be started, let alone driven, and RACED is simply extraordinary. Maximum respect to the owner, the Blower wins just by turning up.

[@melodi_music_official]

bentley themselves own the blower and the other cars so they can afford to race it. a collector would never let this happen

[@wickedmartyn]

@@melodi_music_official its irrelevant in my opinion who owns it or just how much money they have, that car may have a physical price tag, but think of it, that car is over 100 years old, the methods, knowhow and the people capable of making some or most of the parts, by original methods is long gone. If that car crashes, if it loses a body panel, any damage to the engine, anything at all, it will never be the same again. Yes they may have the money, and the modern day equivalent of a fix, but there are parts on that car that are simply irreplaceable. One minor issue and that cars value is irreprepably damaged, it's probably the reason that it's only worth 20m and is now owned by bentley, where its properly cared for. Somethings, money just cant replace, my friend!

[@CaptJofaz]

@@wickedmartyn I'm pretty sure bentley would still have the drawings and even if they didn't they could easily reverse engineer any component that failed. As for know how, anything that could be made 93 years ago could easily be made using modern CNC machining

That's the pure sound of a big engine with absolutely zero "anti pollution" features, zero filters, zero catalitic converters, zero fumes return valves, zero anything. Absolutely straight, clear piped engine from intake to exhaust. In early 1900s no one gave a fck about car pollution or even thought about it. Even though im all in favor of protecting our climate and our lungs and like how strict the modern rules are for combustion engines, we gotta admit that that completely pure, clear and beautiful big engine sound is absolutely lost to time, forever. And its one of the things that really give that car its 20 million value

What a great video this is. Kudos to Bentley for keeping the Blower in such great condition. Cars really do fall apart when not driven. I live in Barrie, Ontario, Canada. There is a couple who regularly drive their 1912 Ford Model T. In regular traffic! It is a beautiful rich red, and is original colour. The car was bought new by the gentleman's grandfather. It is always a thrill to see the old cars being used. I only wish there had been one more Bentley, a Continental from the mid-50s, with the sweet inline 6 cylinder. I also wonder how an original Speed Six would have fared.
