Top Gear Destroys a Bentley
In the latest Top Gear episode, the boys went down under and played with some of the best grand touring cars on the planet.
That included the Nissan GT-R, the BMW M6 Grand Coupe, and the Bentley Continental V8S.
However, unlike normal people when they buy those GT cars, they didn’t take them on exactly nice roads. So much so that one of the trio’s car incurred quite a bit of damage.
According to the SupercarKids, the Bentley Continental V8S that Richard “Hamster” Hammond was driving actually racked up over a hundred thousand dollars in repairs.
And considering that it originally cost two hundred thousand dollars, that’s quite a bit of cash.
The site stated that the car had to be totally resprayed, and had quite a bit more damage to the engine than was shown on the program.
The car had to pretty much be completely taken apart and reassembled because of the damage the three put it through.
Can you imagine handing back a pretty much totaled Bentley? Ouch.
