Every Bentley since has followed the same ethos.<\/p>\n<p>The 12-car series has been designed, and will be developed and built, by the same team of Mulliner specialists that have created the Blower Continuation Series \u2013 the first pre-war continuation project in the world. This acclaimed run of 12 new 41\u20442 litre \u2018Blower\u2019 Bentleys was based on the company\u2019s own 1929 Team Car #2 \u2013 the most famous and valuable Bentley in the world, which raced alongside the Speed Six in 1930 \u2013 and sold out instantly. The same is true of the new Speed Six continuations, with all 12 cars already reserved by lucky customers around the world.<\/p>\n<h4>The Speed Six<\/h4>\n<p>A high-performance version of the 61\u20442 Litre, the Speed Six became the most successful racing Bentley, winning Le Mans in 1929 and 1930 at the hands of Woolf Barnato, Sir Henry \u2018Tim\u2019 Birkin and Glen Kidston.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Speed6ContinuationSeries-3-770x513-1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-620628\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Speed6ContinuationSeries-3-770x513-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"770\" height=\"513\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Speed6ContinuationSeries-3-770x513-1.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Speed6ContinuationSeries-3-770x513-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Speed6ContinuationSeries-3-770x513-1-100x67.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Speed6ContinuationSeries-3-770x513-1-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Speed6ContinuationSeries-3-770x513-1-370x247.jpg 370w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Speed6ContinuationSeries-3-770x513-1-293x195.jpg 293w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nThe Speed Six was an improved version of the 1926 61\u20442 Litre Bentley. W.O. Bentley believed that the best way to increase power was to increase capacity, as opposed to Tim Birkin\u2019s faith in supercharging. He therefore developed a new, larger engine to succeed the 41\u20442-litre. With a bore of 100 mm and a stroke of 140 mm, his new straight six had a capacity of almost 6.6 litres. In base form, with a single Smiths five-jet carburettor, twin magnetos and a compression ratio of 4.4:1, the 61\u20442 Litre delivered 147 bhp at 3500 rpm. 362 examples were built at Bentley\u2019s factory in Cricklewood, north London, on a variety of chassis of different lengths depending on the body style requirements of individual customers.<\/p>\n<figure class='gallery-item'>\r\n

The engine was modified to liberate more power, with twin SU carburettors, a higher compression ratio and a high-performance camshaft, responsible for an increase to 180 bhp. The Speed Six chassis was available to customers with wheelbases of 138 inches (3,505 mm), 140.5 inches (3,569 mm), and 152.5 inches (3,874 mm), with the short chassis being the most popular. 182 Speed Six models were built between 1928 and 1930.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Speed6ContinuationSeries-9-770x513-1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-620635\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Speed6ContinuationSeries-9-770x513-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"770\" height=\"513\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Speed6ContinuationSeries-9-770x513-1.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Speed6ContinuationSeries-9-770x513-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Speed6ContinuationSeries-9-770x513-1-100x67.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Speed6ContinuationSeries-9-770x513-1-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Speed6ContinuationSeries-9-770x513-1-370x247.jpg 370w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Speed6ContinuationSeries-9-770x513-1-293x195.jpg 293w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The racing version of the Speed Six had a wheelbase of 11 feet (132 in; 3,353 mm) and a further-developed engine running a compression ratio of 6.1:1 and developing 200 bhp. Two wins at Le Mans in 1929 and 1930 cemented the Speed Six\u2019s place in Bentley history, with the 1929 victory setting a new benchmark for dominance at the race. Driven by Woolf Barnato and Sir Henry \u2018Tim\u2019 Birkin, a Speed Six led from the first lap until the chequered flag, followed by a procession of three other Bentleys. A new lap record of 7:21 had been set by Birkin, taking 46 seconds off the previous best and requiring an average speed of 83 mph, and in covering 2,844 km a distance record was also attained. Such a dominant performance by one manufacturer was not seen again at Le Mans for nearly 30 years.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Recreating an Icon<\/h2>\n<p>To deliver 12 new Speed Sixes that are authentic to the design of the racers of 1929 and 1930, the Mulliner team has first created a complete 3D CAD model of the car, from both the original blueprints and detailed analysis of original cars.

Despite a difficult race it survived the ordeal, and has been immaculately preserved since. Still fully road legal and actively raced by its owner today, Old Number 3 has been a valuable source of design details and reference points for the creation of the new cars.<\/p>\n<p>Alongside Old Number 3, Bentley\u2019s own Speed Six (GU409) \u2013 part of Bentley\u2019s expanding Heritage Collection \u2013 is a 1929 road car wearing an identical four- seat Vanden Plas body to the original racers and restored to the same specification. GU409 will provide benchmark performance and handling data for\u00a0the continuation cars, including a full power and torque curve for the 12 new engines to match \u2013 or beat.<\/p>\n<p>The first new Speed Six in 92 years will be assembled in the second half of this year, and become the engineering test and development car for the project. Speed Six Car Zero will be retained by Bentley, joining Blower Car Zero as the forebears of the families they help to deliver.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Speed6ContinuationSeries-4-770x513-1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-620645\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Speed6ContinuationSeries-4-770x513-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"770\" height=\"513\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Speed6ContinuationSeries-4-770x513-1.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Speed6ContinuationSeries-4-770x513-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Speed6ContinuationSeries-4-770x513-1-100x67.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Speed6ContinuationSeries-4-770x513-1-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Speed6ContinuationSeries-4-770x513-1-370x247.jpg 370w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Speed6ContinuationSeries-4-770x513-1-293x195.jpg 293w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bentley Mulliner is to bring the iconic Speed Six back to life with a new and highly exclusive Continuation Series of 12 cars, each mechanically and aesthetically authentic to the Bentley racers that won Le Mans in 1929 and 1930.
