This Amazing Dakar Inspired Rally Bentley Could be Yours

Bentley unveiled its all-new 2018 Continental GT this week, but we’d suggest holding out if you were thinking of picking one up.

That’s not to say there’s anything wrong with the new Continental, we’ve just found something much better. The wild, modified Continental GT you see here was built for National Geographic’s Supercar Megabuild TV series and was recently listed for sale on eBay in the United Kingdom. The creators went full Mad Max on this build, installing Quantum Racing adjustable shocks, huge 265×65 off-road tires, a steel external roll-cage and underbody skid plates. Completing the Dakar-like look are some wide fender flares, 17-inch wheels and a spare wheel and gas cans mounted on the rear.

The apocalypse-ready Bentley started out life as a standard, 6.0-liter W12 powered Continental GT with a silver exterior and beige leather interior. It retains much of the luxury equipment you might expect a Bentley to have including the full leather interior, satellite navigation, cruise control, climate control, a multi-function steering wheel with shift paddles, parking sensors, Xenon headlamps and more. The seller says the vehicle is entirely road legal and has a valid MOT until November of this year.

“This is an extremely rare opportunity to own this one-off Dakar inspired Bentley off-roader which maintains all the comforts and luxuries inside,” the eBay listing states. “This project was a bespoke build for the National Geographic series Supercar Megabuild. There is no other Bentley like this on the planet. Custom built, and the star of its own tv show: this is a monster Bentley that will turn heads wherever you go!”

As of this writing, the military green Bentley has attracted 37 bids, with the highest being £15,100 (about $20,000 USD). The reserve hasn’t been met, so if you’re looking to put this unstoppable luxury coupe in your garage, you’ll have to fork over much more than that.

2018 Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster Review

“Supercars just don’t excite me anymore.” These words, spoken to me over a month ago by another journalist, friend, and (so-called) enthusiast were echoing in my head for far too long, but they’ve finally been drowned out. Drowned out by the wail of a naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12 engine mounted in the middle of the new Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster. My friend’s point is that back in the good old days, there was a crop of supercars that captured the imagination with amazing style, sounds, performance, and more. Today, it seems like everything is capable of supercar performance, with large luxury sedans outdoing some of the best and most dedicated teams of car nuts, while former pillars of automotive excellence are suddenly pumping out family-friendly SUVs. Beyond that, another league of supercars, dubbed hypercars have cropped up with hybrid gas-electric powertrains that make magical things happen quickly, but at the cost of the acoustic drama, visual flair, and engag...

PZM 73rd Rally Poland Kicks Off

The WRC is in Poland and after only one stage there are three Volkswagens in the top five. Today’s special stage at the Mikolajki Arena is the first stage, but the rally doesn’t begin in earnest until Friday. Today’s super special stage was less than two minutes long, and less than a second separates the top five drivers. Hyundai Motorsport’s Thierry Neuville tops the charts today, followed closely by Volkswagen’s Andreas Mikkelsen. Sebastien Ogier and Jari-Matti Latvala are in fourth and fifth, respectively. Expect Ogier to climb the rankings, though. Not only did he win the rally last year, he has won every year since 2013. And with rain expected on Friday, Ogier’s chances are even better. “If it’s a bit wet then I hope I can make some good times,” said Ogier earlier today. “The best would be some good rain during the night so it’s a damp surface and then not too bad weather during the day so specators can enjoy the show without being too wet.” If it is dry, though, speed is on ...
