Russia is truly a crazy place, we’ve all seen the wild dash cam videos, especially the one with a tank driving through a highway.

As frightening as that is, imagine being passed by a Bentley Continental, which has been combined with a tank?

You wouldn’t be dreaming if it did happen, because Russian YouTuber Konstantin has a GT running on a custom set of caterpillar tracks.

For the project, Konstantin bought the cheapest Bentley Continental GT he could find, only to discover the twin-turbo W12 was kaputski.

Konstantin sent the luxury coupe off to a place called Swap-Point, which replaced the engine with a 4.3-litre Toyota V8 and converted it to rear-wheel drive only, before the tracks were added.

Despite losing both turbos and four cylinders, project “Ultratank” hammers. Dangerous when considering there are no brakes and the treads tend to fall off when taking sharp turns.

Also, the interior hasn't been changed, so the driver can still enjoy a bit of luxury while off-roading.

Should the Russian military employ Bentley Ultratanks? Let us know in the comments.

Following a passion shared by his father and grandfather, Mitchell’s love of cars really kicked off with his Godfather’s purchase of a new Mazda RX-8. Exposure to that car changed his world forever, leading to an RX-7 obsession. To feed his automotive addiction, Mitchell decided to become a motoring journalist and made his mark at several high-profile motoring publications before landing at CarsGuide. While he is a rotary loyalist, Mitchell also has a massive love for Aussie muscle cars, and dreams of one day getting behind the wheel of a Charger R/T E49 (if anyone will let him). His other passions include Queensland, and spending Saturdays with the boys.
