Description
This is a racing car model kit assembled from parts made of resin, white metal, photo-etched metal and possibly other materials.
Adapted from the Model Factory Hiro website:
Bentley first entered motor racing during the 1920s, where they participated in Le Mans 24 Hours race until 1930. However, the company was bought out in 1931, and they would not be seen at Le Mans again until 2001. In preparation of their return 71 years later at the Sarthe circuit, Bentley prepared the "Speed 8," based on the Audi R8C from 2000 and equipped with a V8 twin turbo engine. The name "Speed 8" was a homage to their previous car, the "Speed Six" (that ran in 1929-30), which was named based on the fact that it held a straight-six engine. During its first year the Speed 8 managed to take third place at Le Mans, and in the following Le Mans in 2002 it managed a fourth-place finish. Finally in 2003, the Speed 8 managed a 1-2 finish, giving the crown back to Bentley after a 73-year drought.
- This kit is a 1/12-scale full-detail model of the Speed 8, based on the 2003 Le Mans winner.
- A full-detailed, multi-material kit featuring white metal, resin, etching, metal turned parts, rubber tires, decals and various cords allowing for maximum representation of the original vehicle.
- Aluminum turned parts used for wheel rims, front light rims and oil cap.
- Nose, front and rear cowl can be removed, and doors can open and close, allowing for detailed view of the interior after completion.
