2012 Bentley Continental Gt Coupe on 2040-cars
Forestburg, Texas, United States
Bentley's exceptional Continental has even more to offer for 2012. In addition to the W12-powered four-seat GT
coupe, Bentley has added a new V8 option to each car, sourced from its Audi counterparts. The new power plant gives
potential buyers even more flexibility when making the ultimate decision. The Continental has been gently massaged
by Bentley engineers, rather than reimagined. The front end is more distinct from the rest of the lineup, and
despite a curb weight of 5,500 pounds, the whole car looks leaner, more poised, and a bit more aggressive. Inside,
Bentley refined an already-fantastic cabin, with continued use of just the right amount of real wood, chrome, and
supple leather. Traditional power in the Continental GT has come from a 6.0L twin-turbocharged W12 engine. That
continues for 2012, though power in both cars is up 15 horses to 567 Horse Power, and torque is boosted accordingly
to 516 ft-lb. Bentley claims a sprint from 0 to 60 mph in 4.4 seconds, on the way to a top speed of 198 mph. Power
is put to all four wheels with a 40/60 front-to-rear torque split through a 6-speed ZF automatic transmission, with
steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters. The W12 Continental GT is EPA-rated at 12 mpg in the city, 19 mpg on the
highway. New for this year is a V8 option. The turbocharged 4.0L unit produces 500 Horse Power and 487 ft-lb of
torque. The V8 GT are also all-wheel drive, though they benefit from a new 8-speed automatic transmission. Bentley
figures the car will hit 60 mph in 4.6 seconds, with a top speed of 188 mph, and the EPA estimates fuel consumption
at 15 mpg city and 24 mpg highway. Suspension on both versions is courtesy of air springs with Continuous Damping
Control, and behind each 20-inch alloy wheel are vented iron disc brakes with Bentley branded calipers in gloss
black. Standard amenities on the W12 cars include bi-xenon projector headlights with LED running lights and
taillights, power folding heated side mirrors, and a choice of 17 exterior paint colors.

2021 Bentley Flying Spur V8 returns with less weight, equipment than W12
Wed, Oct 14 2020Following up on the launch of the W12 version, the 2021 Bentley Flying Spur is once again getting an "entry-level" variant with a V8. It's not as powerful as the W12, and a couple fancy features aren't included. But it's lighter, more fuel efficient, and we expect it will be cheaper. Like past V8 Spurs, this new model has a twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V8. It's more powerful than its predecessors, though, making 542 horsepower and 568 pound-feet of torque. The previous-generation V8 S made 521 horsepower and 502 pound-feet of torque. The W12's 626 horsepower still towers over the V8, but the V8 boasts a weight savings of 220 pounds. Combined with cylinder deactivation, Bentley claims a 16% improvement in fuel economy, though doesn't give specific numbers. Applying that increase to the W12's combined fuel economy number, we'd expect around 17 mpg for the V8 versus 15 for the W12. There's one other key mechanical change to the Flying Spur V8, and that's the lack of standard electronic adjustable anti-roll bars and four-wheel steering. Both features are part of an option package now, whereas they're included on the W12. The adjustable anti-roll bars are automatically controlled to optimize ride quality while reducing body roll, and the steering allows the Flying Spur to more easily negotiate tight corners and spaces. Otherwise, the V8 Flying Spur is nearly identical to the W12 version, save for the standard 20-inch wheels and quad exhaust tips. It's available in either four- or five-seat configurations. First Edition and Blackline trims are available that include extra options and unique visual tweaks. And among some of the more opulent upgrades are the rear-seat refrigerator, illuminated Flying B hood ornament and rotating center stack display. Pricing for the Flying Spur V8 starts at $200,725 with destination, a healthy discount to the W12's nearly $215,000 price tag. It's also more affordable than the the Continental GT V8's price of around $204,000. The V8 Flying Spur will be available early next year. Related Video:
2021 Bentley Bentayga Speed adopts new look, still fastest SUV in the world
Wed, Aug 12 2020The updated 2021 Bentley Bentayga didn’t have to wait long to gain its Speed variant back. WeÂ’re less than a month removed from the standard 2021 BentaygaÂ’s big reveal, and the Speed has returned sporting all the same styling elements as its less powerful sibling. If you paid much attention to the Speed model when it was revealed in February last year, you already know most of the pertinent information on the new one. It has a 6.0-liter twin-turbocharged W12 under hood that produces 626 horsepower and 664 pound-feet of torque. ThatÂ’s good enough for a 3.9-second 0-62 mph sprint. Top speed hasnÂ’t changed from before at 190 mph, so it still slots in right next to the Lamborghini Urus as the fastest SUV in the world. Not as though efficiency will matter all that much, but the W12 does feature cylinder deactivation technology that can deactivate up to six cylinders. YouÂ’ll be able to tell the Speed apart from the standard Bentayga on the road if you look closely enough. It has unique bumpers in front and back, a dark grille, oval-shaped quad exhaust, elongated roof spoiler, body-color side skirts, unique 22-inch wheels, and of course, Speed badging. The seat backrests are also embroidered with “Speed” unless the customer prefers the Bentley logo. Contrast stitching and diamond quilting unique to the Speed is used to further differentiate the interior. Plus, Bentley adds “Speed” badging to the illuminated sill plates. Lastly, Bentayga Speed buyers will have the choice of optioning the “Black Specification.” This replaces any brightwork on the exterior with blacked-out or carbon fiber trim. For example, the front splitter, side sills and roof spoiler are finished in carbon fiber. Bentley then uses gloss black paint on the rear bumper diffuser, roof rails, exhaust tips and wheels. Pricing isnÂ’t out for the new Bentayga Speed yet, but itÂ’ll be available soon after the standard V8 Bentayga begins arriving at Bentley retailers. Related video:
Bentley and Italdesign tease Geneva reveals
Tue, Jan 29 2019With five weeks to go until the Geneva Motor Show on March 5, automakers have begun the tease campaign. But because there are still five weeks to go, the teases are a little stingy. Bentley and Italdesign, two brands owned by the Volkswagen Group - Audi, specifically, owns Italdesign - break the seal with what look like two sports cars, the segment Geneva's best known for. Bentley, surprise, surprise, will celebrate its centenary year at Geneva with something inspired by its Le Mans history. The English carmaker's teaser video contains a number of historical elements that we don't know how to line up with the grille of the modern Bentley featuring a "9" graphic. The narrator detailing the early Le Mans race mentions 60 entries, but Le Mans never fielded exactly sixty entries during Bentley's fame-making days. The closest we could get was the 1925 race, the year after Bentley's first win, which saw 55 cars line up. But in 1925, the No. 9 Bentley had to retire after 13 hours when it caught on fire during a fuel stop. Instead, Bentley could be referring to the next evolution of its race cars. The brand won Le Mans with the Speed 6, and used the Speed 8 to win the 2003 race. Italdesign has gone even more cryptic with its teaser. The styling house most recently known for the Lamborghini Huracan-based Zerouno in 2017, and the Zerouno Duerte and Nissan GT-R50 in 2018, is promoting something else with serious wing. We'll guess it isn't another Zerouno derivative because of the wing stanchion. Freezing a few of the frames reveals background lines that make whatever's coming look highly racy. We'll get answers in the city by the lake. And most likely, a few more teasers before then. Related Video:
