The Bentley Speed 8 stands as one of the most dominant and historically significant Le Mans winners in motorsport history. This revolutionary prototype, featuring Bentley’s twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 engine and advanced aerodynamics, achieved a commanding 1-2 finish at the 2003 24 Hours of Le Mans. Driven by the legendary trio of Rinaldo Capello, Tom Kristensen, and Guy Smith, the #7 car delivered Bentley’s first Le Mans victory since 1930, ending a 73-year drought and marking one of the greatest comebacks in endurance racing history.
