After 40,000 hours of work, Bentley Mulliner has completed the first new Bentley Blower in 90 years, with the delivery of Car Zero – the prototype car for the Blower Continuation Series. ➡Each of the new Continuation Series cars will feature four-cylinder, 16-valve engines with an aluminium crankcase with cast iron cylinder liners and non-detachable cast-iron cylinder head. The supercharger will be an exact replica of the Amherst Villiers Mk IV roots-type supercharger, helping the 4398 cc engine to develop 240 bhp @ 4,200 rpm. The car’s structure will be a pressed steel frame, with half-elliptic leaf spring suspension with copies of Bentley & Draper dampers. Recreations of Bentley-Perrot 40 cm (17.75”) mechanical drum brakes and worm and sector steering complete the chassis. ➡Blower Car Zero is a dedicated test and development prototype, built in advance of the customer cars, and will be subjected to months of durability and performance testing. The test programme is designed to achieve the equivalent of 35,000 kilometres of real-world driving across 8,000 kilometres of track driving. ➡Only four original ‘Team Blowers’ were built for racing by Birkin, in the late 1920s. All were campaigned on the racetracks of Europe, with the most famous car – Birkin’s own Team Car No. 2, registration UU 5872 – racing at Le Mans and playing a pivotal role in the factory Bentley Speed Six victory in 1930. ➡Bentley’s own Team Blower – chassis number HB 3403 - has been disassembled to its individual components, before each part was catalogued and meticulously scanned in 3D to create a complete digital model of the entire car. Using the original 1920s moulds and tooling jigs, and an array of traditional hand tools alongside the latest manufacturing technology. ➡ It will take Mulliner approximately two years of meticulous work to complete the 12-car series. #bentley #mulliner #bentleymulliner #blower #blowercontinuationseries #continuationseries #bentley #britishcars #britishcar #bentley #bentleyev #futurecar #classiccar #pakistan #karachi #carsofpakistan #carsofinstagram #japan #japanesecar #boosters #boosterjet #boosterjetcar #boosterjetcarmagazine https://www.instagram.com/p/COIPeO6p1_8/?igshid=1cgb8v16v9cq2
