(Kiran News) A wooden Bentley Continental GT from Belgium is making headlines for its eye-watering price tag of $98,900—almost as much as some real, pre-owned Continental GTs. But unlike the British luxury car it’s modeled after, this version is not meant for the road.
The impressive wooden sculpture takes inspiration from the third-generation Bentley Continental GT, which was produced between 2017 and 2024. Crafted from marine-grade teak and plywood, the replica closely matches the actual car in terms of both its exterior and interior details. Every component, from the large grille to the signature oval headlights and taillights, has been carefully recreated. Even the bezels around the lights are finished in a darker shade for contrast, and three-dimensional emblems have been added for extra authenticity.
The wooden GT also features opening doors mounted on exposed hinges, revealing a cabin layout that mirrors the real Continental GT. It includes a dashboard, centre console, and door panels, while the seats—though less sculpted than those in the real car—feature carved lines to mimic Bentley’s diamond-pattern leather upholstery.
Almost everything, except the steel axles and acrylic windows, is made from wood, including the wheels and tyres. Despite weighing 907 kilograms, the wooden car does not house a powerful W12 or V8 engine. However, it can roll and steer using a rack-and-pinion steering linkage.
The intricate piece of art reportedly took over 3,000 hours to assemble, with thousands of individual wooden pieces fixed to two wood beams serving as the chassis. The attention to detail and painstaking craftsmanship have made this sculpture a unique and expensive collector’s item.
While the creator of this particular Bentley Continental GT sculpture remains unknown, the work has captured global attention for its remarkable realism and substantial price.
