Crazy to think that nowadays we have sedans with similar power that easily shave 1 minute off this time. Sure it wasn't designed for a track but still interesting

Modern tires make most of the difference. Given new extreme performance tires, I am sure that the Bentley Continental GT would shave off lots of seconds on lap times. Newer sedans have much better tires.

i think newer tires would work wonders on a lot of old super cars like the Ferrari Enzo

Maybe you have a photos from this magazine. I need information about lenght of lap in this test and tyres on all of this cars. There is sone information on the web site. But… And also I need a lap time for 20,600 m lap for Bentley, Merc, BMW, Lambo and Porsche.
