The Bentley is believed to be modelled on an earlier "Ultratank" built by Russian petrolhead Konstantin Zarutskiy for his YouTube channel AcademeG.
His prototype, with higher tracks, could reach 81 mph, slower than the Bentley's original 200mph but still faster than any other tracked vehicle.
This isn't the first time a luxury motor has been seized in a police crackdown on crime.

Trial begins for suspects in Moscow concert hall attack that killed 149 people
A trial has begun for 19 defendants accused of involvement in last year's shooting rampage in a Moscow concert hall that killed 149 people and wounded more than 600 others. A faction of the Islamic State group claimed responsibility for the March 22 incident at the Crocus City Hall concert venue in which four gunmen shot people who were waiting for a show by a popular rock band and then set the building on fire. President Vladimir Putin and other Russian officials have claimed, without presenting evidence, that Ukraine had a role in the attack. Kyiv has strongly denied any involvement. Suspects accused of involvement in a terror attack in the Crocus City Hall (Pavel Bednyakov/AP) The Investigative Committee, Russia's top criminal investigation agency, said in June that it concluded that the attack had been 'planned and carried out in the interests of the current leadership of Ukraine in order to destabilise political situation in our country'. It also noted the four suspected gunmen tried to flee to Ukraine afterwards. The four, all identified as citizens of Tajikistan, were arrested hours after the attack and later appeared in a Moscow court with signs of being severely beaten. The committee said earlier this year that six other suspects were charged in absentia and placed on Russia's wanted list for allegedly recruiting and organising the training of the four. Other defendants in the trial were accused of helping them.

Moment furious French farmers use tractors to spray hordes of squatters with manure in drastic bid to get them off land
THIS is the moment raging French farmers spray hordes of squatters with manure in a bid to expel them from their land. Furious workers spread the faeces over their farm in Hautes-Vosges, France after reportedly "not receiving" any help from police to remove an "illegal gypsy camp". 5 French farmers sprayed manure to get a group of squatters off their land Credit: You Tube 5 The enraged workers said they decided to take matters into their own hands when police refused to help 5 Members of the community are pictured rushing to stop the tractors Footage shows the tractors circling the stationary white caravans and releasing streams of the brown sludge liquid. Meanwhile, members of the community appear running after the vehicles in a bid to stop the onslaught of excrement. One man is even captured jumping onto a moving tractor and frantically knocking on the driver's window. In the minute-long video, some six tractors are seen covering the land in the stinking slurry - a mixture of manure and water. Read more on World HEROIC FIND Farmer who found lost backpacker in Outback reveals moment she found tourist Last year, a similar tactic was adopted by Brit farmer Jack Bellamy when he caught a camper on his land. Shocking footage shows angry Jack Bellamy spot the tent and say: 'I tell you what, these ***** will set up anywhere.' He then jumps in his tractor and drives up alongside the trespasser unleashing a 15-second blast of slurry. The camper, dressed in a red top and a white sun hat, is seen desperately trying to zip up his tent before diving behind it as a wall of excrement is showered on him. Jack, 29, is heard saying: 'I'll tell you what chap, have a bit of this.' The hapless cyclist is seen cowering for shelter as his entire tent and bike are covered in the brown stuff. Furious farmer caught a camper sleeping in his field and covered him in slurry Jack, a third generation farmer from Tavistock, Devon, last night told The Sun: 'I left him there covered in slurry. 'He never said a word. 'He couldn't really argue with that. 'They come up from the towns and think they can do what they want.' The beef and sheep farmer said he was annoyed because he's had trouble from trespassers before and there are two campsites just half a mile away from his field. He added: 'He just didn't want to pay.' Jack said he spotted the camper as he started work in his John Deere tractor at 6am on Tuesday. He said: 'I went out in the morning because I had to get on. 'When I looked in the field I saw a tent on the freshly cut grass. 'There was someone camped right up against the hedge. 'I'm sure he had a nice evening there, but he didn't have a very nice wake up call. 'He must've heard the tractor coming because he was out of his tent." 5 The stinking slurry was scattered across acres of farmland
