Jaguar and Aston Martin might have kicked off the modern trend for ‘continuation’ versions of some of their greatest hits, but Bentley has taken it to an entirely new level by heading much further back in time. The Blower Continuation is a factory-fresh version of a car that was last produced 90 years ago, and one that hasn’t been subjected to any modernisation to make it more civilised. The result is a car you don’t drive so much as engage in hand-to-hand combat with. While some continuation runs have struggled to sell their ...

It's a point made spectacularly well by the Bentley Blower Continuation, a vehicle that manages the unique trick of possessing both a new-car smell and a genuine pre-war driving experience.

Between 2019 and 2020 Bentley scanned all 630 components of the Blower to create a series of brand new models. A complete CAD model was produced with specialists recruited to put all the pieces together. The new blowers are the first to roll off the company's production line in over 90 years and took over 40,000 hours to build.

03 February, 2021 02:00 Bentley Blower 'Car Zero' BENTLEY has completed its first prototype Blower Continuation model, marking the first new Blower built since 1930. Made up of close to 2,000 individually designed and hand-crafted parts, some 40,000 hours have been spent in the design and creation of 'Car Zero'. Entirely handcrafted, the recreation Blower - a nickname that references its supercharged engine - was made using original drawings and tooling.
