The world of luxury cars occasionally features wooden models, and the Bentley Continental GT from Belgium is generating buzz. The price is $98,900 (approximately 87 lakh rupees). Interestingly, this amount could be used to acquire a used Bentley, which could be driven on the road.
The wooden Bentley Continental GT mirrors the design of an authentic British luxury car. The design is by ND Woodworking Art, renowned for its wooden car creations. The construction uses marine-grade plywood throughout. The building process consumed over 3,000 hours of labor, involving the careful joining of thousands of wooden pieces to create a strong wooden Bentley Continental GT.
The design is reminiscent of the third-generation Bentley Continental GT (2017-2024). This is visible in its large grille, bumper inlets, exhaust outlets, and oval-shaped headlamps. The dark finish around the headlights and taillights enhances its appearance, and 3D emblems contribute to the realism.
The interior is impressive. The doors open, showcasing a cabin that reflects the Continental GT. The dashboard, center console, and door panels feature detailed craftsmanship. The seats are crafted from wood and include Bentley’s diamond pattern leather upholstery.
Weighing 907 kg, this car does not have an engine but features a rack-and-pinion steering linkage, enabling it to roll and steer. The wheels and tires are wooden. Aside from steel axles and acrylic windows, the entire car is a masterpiece of wooden artistry. While this unique Bentley Continental GT is not designed for road use, it is a luxury item for car enthusiasts and art collectors.
