On oublie souvent que l’histoire de Bentley ne se limite pas au luxe et au grand tourisme. La marque britannique a \u00e9galement connu de nombreux succ\u00e8s en sport automobile, notamment aux 24 Heures du Mans. C’est pr\u00e9cis\u00e9ment pour c\u00e9l\u00e9brer ce riche pass\u00e9 sportif que Bentley a d\u00e9voil\u00e9 le concept-car Hunaudi\u00e8res en 1999.<\/span><\/p>\n

Les 24 Heures du Mans et Bentley ont un lien historique. La firme anglaise s’est distingu\u00e9e \u00e0 plusieurs reprises sur ce circuit l\u00e9gendaire, lors de diverses \u00e9poques. Elle a gagn\u00e9 cinq \u00e9ditions dans les ann\u00e9es 1920 et a r\u00e9alis\u00e9 un doubl\u00e9 en 2003. Un palmar\u00e8s impressionnant, qui a conduit Bentley \u00e0 nommer certains de ses mod\u00e8les d’apr\u00e8s des virages embl\u00e9matiques du circuit de la Sarthe. C’est ainsi que sont n\u00e9es les Bentley Mulsanne, Arnage, et la plus discr\u00e8te Hunaudi\u00e8res, qui est rest\u00e9e \u00e0 l’\u00e9tat de concept.<\/span><\/p>\n

En 1999, Bentley d\u00e9voile la Hunaudi\u00e8res au Salon de Gen\u00e8ve. \u00c0 ce moment-l\u00e0, la marque compte d\u00e9j\u00e0 cinq victoires au Mans, mais ce concept symbolise son retour dans la Sarthe. Le nom est tir\u00e9 de la longue ligne droite du circuit. Le design du concept est atypique pour Bentley, avec des lignes dict\u00e9es par l’a\u00e9rodynamisme et con\u00e7ues pour la performance.<\/span> Fini le luxe et l’opulence habituels.<\/p>\n

Oh, un W16\u2026<\/h2>\n

Le design de la Hunaudi\u00e8res impressionne par ses proportions. La face avant est plut\u00f4t simple avec deux paires de phares ronds encadrant une vaste calandre. Les ailes bomb\u00e9es d\u00e9bordent sur le capot. \u00c0 l’arri\u00e8re, les montants encadrent le compartiment moteur. La poupe pr\u00e9sente une bande de feux, au-dessus des sorties d’\u00e9chappement rectangulaires. La voiture est recouverte de l’embl\u00e9matique teinte British Racing Green, et les parties inf\u00e9rieures de la carrosserie ainsi que les grandes jantes sont chrom\u00e9es.<\/span> \u00c0 l’int\u00e9rieur, la console centrale est en aluminium, tout comme les contours des instruments analogiques. Le levier de vitesses est plac\u00e9 dans une grille en H. Les si\u00e8ges et le tableau de bord combinent le cuir et l’alcantara.<\/p>\n

Certains angles de cette Hunaudi\u00e8res vous rappellent d’autres mod\u00e8les ? Pensez \u00e0 l’Audi R8, notamment \u00e0 cause de la d\u00e9coupe arri\u00e8re qui rappelle celle de la voiture allemande. Encore des doutes ? Imaginez-la avec des \u00ab\u00a0side-blades\u00a0\u00bb et vous comprendrez.<\/span> On peut aussi y trouver des similitudes avec la Bugatti Veyron, surtout au niveau de la face avant. Il suffit de remplacer la grande calandre par un fer \u00e0 cheval.<\/p>\n

La Hunaudi\u00e8res est le premier mod\u00e8le pr\u00e9sent\u00e9 apr\u00e8s que Bentley ait \u00e9t\u00e9 rachet\u00e9 par Volkswagen. Le concept est \u00e9quip\u00e9 d’un W16 8.0 d\u00e9veloppant 630 chevaux. Une bo\u00eete manuelle \u00e0 cinq rapports transmet cette puissance aux roues arri\u00e8re.<\/span> La fiche technique compl\u00e8te n’a jamais \u00e9t\u00e9 d\u00e9taill\u00e9e, mais Bentley annonce une vitesse de pointe de 350 km\/h. Et bien que la Hunaudi\u00e8res n’ait jamais \u00e9t\u00e9 produite, le W16 a surv\u00e9cu et a \u00e9t\u00e9 utilis\u00e9 quelques ann\u00e9es plus tard sous le capot de la Bugatti Veyron.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
