Bentley celebrates 100th birthday with this massive EXP 100 GT Concept

Bentley is celebrating its birthday in the most extravagant way with a massive grand touring concept to preview the future of motoring.Its calld the EXP 100 GT, and its quite imposing. The vehicle spans an incredible 19 feet, and is almost 8 feet wide. The wheelbase measures 120 inches, which means you can almost fit a Nissan Micra between the tires.Under the extremely long hood of the EX 100 GT is not much, but on each of the wheels is a big electric motor that has active torque vectoring, and a combined system output of 1,100 lb.-ft. of torque. The massive torque figure helps the 4,188-lb car reach highway speeds in just 2.5 seconds, before pressing on to a quite respectable top speed of 295 km/h.The range is also quite respectable, at some 700 km, pulled off thanks to a new type of battery Bentleys developed thats reportedly five times more energy-dense than competitors. The battery can be charged up to 80 per cent in just 15 minutes. As it is with most cars in the Bentley stable, the real show is on the inside. Scissor doors bring you into a world of wool and leather-like material, with accents of 5,000-year-old copper-infused riverwood, according to the Crewe brand.On top of it all, the EXP 100 GT is ready to accept a fuel-cell hybrid powertrain, one which should make over 670 emission-free horsepower.Bentley rarely gets to make pure show cars, so its great to see the brand really pouring its heart and soul into this one. If this is what 2035 looks like, were so

Hellcat-swapped Mazda Miata does massive smokey donuts

A YouTube channel gaining notoriety for building a Hellcat-swapped Mazda Miata has just released a video of the thing pulling off a massive smokey donut session during an event put on by Cleetus McFarland, another YouTube car builder. In the last video KARR posted about the project, it was not running, but the engine and transmission were installed, and the crew was buttoning up final details to make the car work. Obviously now the car is complete, and ready to do what it was built to do: kill tires. It should be sort of expected a car with over 700 horsepower can rip a massive smokey donut—after all, it only weighs as much as a cup of coffee. The 6.5-litre supercharged V8 engine came courtesy of a wrecked Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat, and the car is a standard NB Mazda Miata, just with most of the engine compartment hacked away to fit the massive motor. In this excessively long video, KARR takes the sports car to a dyno to test how much horsepower it really makes, but what they learned was that the car slides the tires on the dyno while in sixth gear, at 4,600 rpm. Yikes. It must take either big bollocks or a tiny brain to drive this thing, but either way, we’re happy somebody did it. By the way, the car made 460 horsepower and 569 lb.-ft. of torque at the
