The first Bentley capable of running on both petrol (gasoline) and biofuel (E85 ethanol). The car's 6.0 litre W12 engine was rated 463 kilowatts (630 PS; 621 bhp) at 6,000 rpm and 800 newton metres (590 ft·lbf) at 1,700-5,600 rpm - using either fuel. The car has 0 to 100 kilometres per hour (0.0 to 62.1 mph) acceleration of 3.9 seconds, 0 to 160 kilometres per hour (0.0 to 99.4 mph) acceleration of 8.9 seconds, top speed of 329 kilometres per hour (204.4 mph), making it the fastest and the most powerful production Bentley ever. The Supersports is already known as the best handling Bentley. It delivers 1.29 g forces on a 300 foot skid pad, as compared to its sibling the Continental GT speed which can perform up to .98 g forces on a 300 foot skidpad.

Porsche 956 history

The 956 made its debut at the Silverstone 6 Hour race, the second round of the World Championship for Makes with Jacky Ickx and Derek Bell driving for the factory. After missing the following round at the 1000 km Nürburgring for developmental reasons, the Ickx/Bell unit reappeared at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. They led the race for the entire 24 hours, eventually taking the overall win - their third win together.

As they had already won in 1981 with a Porsche 936 that had used an early version of the 956 engine, their car had start number 1. The two other factory 956 followed them, so the three factory Porsches finished 1-2-3 in the order of their starting numbers.

Porsche 911 GT2 Full Review

In 1993, Porsche had experimented with the use of a turbocharged 911 in international motorsports with the use of the extensively modified turbo 964, named the Turbo S LM-GT. Seeing the potential of the car not only to be fast and reliable, as well as customer demand for a car to replace the 964 generation Carrera RSRs, Porsche chose to develop the turbocharged 993 for customer use.

The 993 GT2 race car would featured a stripped interior, built-in rollcage for safety, minor adjustments to the bodywork and wings in order to decrease weight as well as increase downforce, as well as wider fenders to handle racing slicks. The suspension would be modified to better handle racing use, while the engine would be slightly tweaked for endurance use. Twin KKK turbochargers running mandated air restrictors allowed for 450 hp (336 kW).

Porsche 911 GT3 Specs

n GT3 configuration, this so called "split" crankcase (meaning the parting line of crankcase is on the crankshaft centerline) uses, instead of a fan and finned cylinders, separate water jackets added onto each side of the crankcase to cool banks of three cylinders with water pumped though a radiator.

Thus, the GT3 engine is very similar to the completely water cooled 962 racing car's engine, which is also based on this same crankcase. The 962 differs, however, by using 6 individual cylinder heads while the GT1/GT3, like the air and water cooled Porsche 959, uses 2 cylinder heads, each covering a bank of 3 cylinders. The GT3 engine could thus also be thought of as similar to a 959 engine, but with water-cooled cylinders.
