“The fastest lorry in the world” - An annoyed but respectful description by Ettore Bugatti of the supercharged Bentleys. Here’s an example of our Member’s 1928 4.5 litre Bentley ‘Blower’ at our facility. Despite initial skepticism, these 2-ton marvels proved their worth by clinching victory at the Le Mans 24 Hours race five times between 1924 and 1930, showcasing reliability akin to real lorries.

A valued LeClub member has given us a glimpse of their prized Porsche GT3 RS, the ultimate road-legal race car.
Behind the rear axle lies the masterpiece 4.0-liter naturally aspirated flat-six engine, churning out a mind-blowing 520 horsepower. Although safely stored at LeGarage when stationary, this GT3 RS isn't just a garage queen. With 25,000 kilometers on the clock, it's been driven hard and with a grin plastered on the driver's face—serious smiles per gallon here. --- First, the heart of the matter—the engine. Porsche slapped a naturally aspirated 4.0-liter flat-six in the back. This masterpiece, which sits behind the rear axle like a mischievous child hiding a firecracker, churns out a staggering 520 horsepower. The noise it makes is like an operatic symphony composed entirely of explosions. The GT3 RS is a vision of aerodynamic perfection. Those sculpted lines and massive rear wing aren't just for show—they're for slicing through the air with the grace of a ballistic missile. And let’s not forget the wheels, forged from the dreams of every car enthusiast, wrapped in rubber so sticky it could probably cling to the ceiling. Despite its stunning looks, this Porsche is no pampered garage queen. With 25,000 kilometers on the clock, it's seen its fair share of action. Driven hard and fast, it's a machine that begs to be unleashed on the open road. Each kilometer has been devoured with a grin plastered on the driver's face, delivering serious smiles per gallon. And here's a fun tidbit: the GT3 RS's engine doesn't have a turbo. It’s naturally aspirated, which means it gets its power the old-fashioned way—by revving up to an ear-splitting 9,000 RPM. That’s higher than most helicopters. And because there's no turbo, there's no turbo lag. The power is immediate, brutal, and utterly addictive. The GT3 RS is also a marvel of modern engineering. The suspension is so sophisticated, adjusting itself perfectly to the road conditions, keeping the car glued to the tarmac even when you're taking corners at speeds that should be illegal.
