Bugs were pretty, but nothing state of the art. Bentley in the day was much more exotic, even though Ettore called them buses, or trucks. The bently had aluminum pistons, OHV, 4 valves per cylinder. The gullwing was one of the first, if not the first road cars to have an injected engine. The doors were there to allow enterance over the funky sills. I've several bugs up close. They are lovely, but more art than mechanical genious. But that's just my take on them. :-) The new bugs are production cars too, but not in the sense of my 300E. lol
