Auto Express Thrashes New Bentley Continental V8 On The Track

February 23, 2012 by Mr Butterscotch Leave a Comment

The Bentley Continental has moved away from an aging, heavier W12 engine to a lighter, more efficient V8 performance model. Equipped with twin turbos, the engine produces 500bhp and 660Nm of torque, providing a top speed of 188 miles per hour. This is significant in a car that weighs in at over 2,000 kilos.

So, what is this GT car like on the track? Auto Express shows you can have a lot of fun in this motor when you put the pedal to the metal.
