Bentley Continental goes mudding!

There is nothing worse than watching a Bentley Continental GT wrecked by the hands of an idiot. I'm not sure what's worse about this video; the fact the Bentley was driven down a muddy road to get where the accident took place, or the fact the driver foolishly wrecks while ass-hatting a car worth more than most people's homes. The Bentley Continental GT sticker value starts at $182,000 and can drastically increase based upon availability, location, and options. Being rear-wheel drive, this car simply has no business being in the mud. What was this guy thinking?

Covered in mud, event sess, and everything a Bentley has no business being around, this poor Continental GT should have had a better life. These cars are meant for dune surfing in Dubai, not sloshing around in a muddy European event. I'll admit, this car is a beast but it's surely no tank. Probably enticed by the influence of the unknown, the driver must have had a moment of insanity to treat a vehicle of such magnitude so badly.



Watching the clip closely, the Bentley does perform surprising well despite the muddy conditions. It's heavy curb weight of 5,500 pounds helps keep the rear drive wheel in traction while the twin turbocharged V12 engine provides ample amounts of power. Sending the muddy road pedestrians fleeing for cover, the Bentley begins it's short lived rampage. What goes up, must come down! This Bentley is no exception, quickly diverting directly into the side of an SUV. Had the Bentley hit it head on, the cost of damage would have been much worse. How much damage was done here? I'd say at least $15,000 at minimum.
