Project Hunaudière - Bentley introduce 16 cylinder project for the future

Bentley Motor Cars reveals a dramatic concept car, The Bentley - project Hunaudières. This supercar project provides the debut of a new 16 cylinder engine developed to a specific brief to provide a technologically advanced power plant with unique Bentley characteristics.

The name Hunaudières recalls the famous straight on the Le Mans Circuit, where the legend of Bentley was born with five wins in the 'vingt quatre heures du Mans' in the 1920's. Here the story of the Bentley Boys was created, with Sir H.S (Tim) Birkin in his 4.5 litre 'Blower' Bentley in 1930, daringly overtaking Rudolf Carraciola's Mercedes SSK at 125mph with one wheel on the grass down the Hunaudières straight.

Evoq’s Bold Design, Technological Innovations Embody Cadillac’s Vision For Art & Science

Evoq, first introduced at the 1999 North American International Auto Show in Detroit, is a rear-wheel-drive two-seater with a retractable hardtop. Its crisply tailored lines establish an expressive design direction for future Cadillac models. At the same time, the concept vehicle boasts strong performance, starting with a supercharged version of the next generation Northstar V8 engine featuring an intercooler and continuously variable valve timing.

Evoq also showcases a host of advanced — yet feasible — technologies, either available now or currently under development. The technologies include Night Vision, Forewarn® Back-Up Aid rear obstacle detection system, rear vision cameras replacing outside rearview mirrors, a vertically-anchored tire and wheel system and Communiport®, a mobile multimedia information system with voice-activated navigation, electronic mail and entertainment capabilities.
