AcademeG purchased the cheapest Bentley Continental GT he could find. However shortly after purchasing the car he realized the factory twin-turbo 6.0 L W12 required a lot of repairs including replacing the turbochargers. Instead of repairing the engine he sent the car to Swap-Point where they replaced it with a Toyota 4.3 L 3UZ-FE V8 and converted the drivetrain to rear-wheel drive. If that wasn’t wild enough they replaced the wheels with a set of custom caterpillar tracks with a 2.5 meter (98.4 inches) track.
Update 6-19-19: Added second test run below.
Watch the project being built in the full playlist below.
He decided to replace W12 because it was broken, turbos were on the way out, etc. So instead of fixing it he decided to put in 3UZ.
Thanks. I will update the article. Do you know anymore details about the project such as transmission or rear end/differential?
In one of the episodes he said it’s Dana 60.
Thanks.
“Well, that escalated quickly.”
They are making changes to this thing. They’re replacing the tracks and also the drivetrain. In a recent video they’ve announced that they gonna put supercharged 5.0 V8 engine and transmission from a 2012 Range Rover that they recently bought into this Bentley. They call it Ultratank 2.0.
Thanks for the update. It was ridiculous with the 3UZ. Can’t wait to see it with more power.
