The new 4.0 litre, twin turbocharged Bentley Continental GT
V8 coupé and GTC V8 convertible achieve exceptional standards for
power-to-emissions in the high luxury sports car sector.
This remarkable, new Bentley V8 engine delivers maximum
power of 500 bhp (507 PS/373 kW) at 6000 rpm and an extraordinary peak torque of
660 Nm (487 lb ft) which is available across virtually the entire rev range
from 1700 to 5000 rpm, providing exhilarating performance and effortless power
delivery in the Bentley tradition. Combined with a new close-ratio 8-speed
automatic transmission, this translates into a sub-5 second acceleration time
for the 0-60 mph (0-100 km/h) sprint and a top speed of over 180 mph (290
km/h).
At the same time, the new V8 Continental models achieve
outstanding levels of fuel efficiency and CO2 emissions for the luxury
performance sector and are capable of travelling over 500 miles (800 km) on a
single tank of fuel. Full and official figures will be released in early 2012.
The arrival of the new V8 Continental models fulfils
Bentley's environmental commitment to produce a new powertrain that delivers a
40 per cent improvement in fuel efficiency and CO2 emissions.
The new V8 engine features variable displacement with a
highly sophisticated engine management system, ensuring a seamless and
imperceptible transition from V8 to V4 mode under light throttle load.
The high-technology V8 also features high pressure direct
injection, low friction bearings, thermal management, energy recuperation via
the charging system, and innovative turbo charger packaging for greater
efficiency.
The instantly recognisable growl of the new 4.0 litre V8
engine sets it apart from its Bentley stablemates.
The new V8 engine will be available in two models; the
Continental GT and the Continental GTC. Expressing their potent, muscular
character, these models are distinguished by a black gloss matrix grille with
chrome frame and centre bar, a red enamel Bentley 'B' badge, and a black matrix
three-segment lower front bumper divided by distinctive body-coloured strakes.
