You drive your Bentley in pretty cold northeast American weather. Bentley broke an ice speed record. Check out what they sealed off on aerodynamics because of drag and the lesser need to cool components. It's find Waldo time. Find what they blocked off to save on drag coefficient to increase performance and speed. This will help us slide around in the snow, plus those damm Blizzards.

 

Oh yeah, saw that and remember taping up the F2000's body panels where they mate together, etc for aero advantage. At high speeds you must think about fluid dynamics.

 

With ECU mapping, just like adjusting our carburetor's rich/lean fuel mixture because of seasons, weather conditions and altitude, we can remap the ECU according to the climate where we live. I believe there are companies that have done these ECU upgrades where you can switch your ECU mapping on call either for track or street. It's amazing for fast vehicles to be able to block off everything to save drag and plus you are going so Damm fast anyways, all your fluids and parts are being cool. The race vehicles don't need all these openings we have cause the car is constantly on the move. Where as we hit slow traffic and have to stop all the time. Have you ever wonder if your ECU is tuned to your Seasonal changes, that this can improve your vehicle performance ?

 

Never cared much as most modern vehicles handle various parameters and account for them. Now old Bosch K-Jetronic, carb’ed, etc are what they are and for their age and when properly working do a good job, yet nowhere near as optimized as direct injected ECU modern equivalents. The B is great in the summer or cold winter, my only main/big gripe is lack of heated steering wheel (and if that is my biggest compliant, she is a great car!). Yes i know i could get another full leather wrapped with heater steering wheel, yet the costs make it a bit prohibitive plus i like the look of the upgraded wood/leather one she has now. Oh we suffer so in our B's during cold winter days! LOL

If it aint broke, don't 'fix'.

 

Lights
lw side vents
no mirrors
Wiper blades.

All missing.

 

Rear/underneath diffuser, you get a good qty of downforce for little/low penalty of aero resistance.

 

Air intakes on both sides of intercoolers are covered. 3/4 of the front radiator grill is covered. Wheels are covered. I am guessing is so cold. They just let the environment do the cooling for them. Less drag for sure. Love the icicles hanging off the front splitter, Bentley also creates an array of fruity and delicious Popsicles.

 

I overlooked the wheel covers, they look awful. So the ISR car is not even close the the street ISR????

 

The street version I believe they only built 100. Nope, the street version is just a glorified SS with some Porche racing livery on it.

 

Yep, already have that plan implemented. Was supposed to be on her already, but I chickened out and thought it would be too aggressive. Too late for all that now!
