CarzPage Preview: Bentley Continental V8 2012

bentleycontinental005_2012This is the new downsizing Bentley Continental – the new 2012 V8. Downsizing is relative, of course, but it is an important step by Bentley as the Conti range extends from the lofty heights of today’s 6.0 W12. The new Continental GTC convertible coupe and V8 V8 premiere of Volkswagen’s new 4.0-liter V8, co-developed by Audi.
Bentley Continental V8: The new engine

The 4.0-liter V8 twin-turbo and has a range of new technologies such as gasoline direct injection and cylinder deactivation mpg and lower CO2 while increasing the important things like subtlety, power and torque. The engine will act as V4 at part load to keep up with special engine mounts and acoustic listening experience acceptable gimmicks. To keep the new, cheaper Conti sticks with all-wheel drive for traction in check and there is a new eight-speed automatic transmission also.

The new Continental V8 twins are formally introduced to the 2012 Detroit Auto Show in January 2012.
So tell us more about this eco Bentley …

The new V8 is hardly a down-specced green special. The new node, which can also be found in the Audi S8 is pumping new, 500 horsepower in this guise, with a chunky 487 pounds at a maximum ft of torque curves plateau you will find anywhere – it is flat from 1700-5000rpm. Figures are at the top end 180 mph, ’sub 5.0sec 0-60mph’ and a range of more than 500 miles.

Bentley’s Supersports Car 2009 Unveils

11BentleyContinentalSuperspo2009
What is it? Bentley’s answer to Renault R26R? So they are not complete rivals, but the concept is similar: more performance, light weight, even more because of the back seat of the chair removed. And save other people do not have to put your car counterparts to confirm that it is a Supersports, the external features of the redesigned bumper additional air intakes, in the hat, different exhaust pipes and 50 mm ventilation hole burning arch.
But in the end the number of light weight, performance, how much will the Bentley Continental Supersports cost?

Ditching the rear seats and fitting a fixed light rake to make a contribution to a 110 kilograms weight soared. Left a deep impression? You will be less, so when you hear the whale is still weighing a ton more than the Renault 2.24 thousand kilograms. Well, such a comparison is stupid, but you get the picture – this is still a heavy car money.

Only when the rate can eat more runway gob striking their children. The standard gas turbine to convene its 552bhp twin-turbo W12, pay more attention to the speed of performance, 600 horsepower, but the Supersports not only promoted 621bhp through the six-speed automatic transmission axle. Zero to 62 mph only 3.9sec, less than the speed of 4.5sec, top speed is slightly increased to 206 mph.

Now this is a real fast car, less than 1 ton of emissions avoided 9sec and deep bassy roar of the part of the big band, some of the distant machine-gun fire gear sliding home in half the time usually.
Going out is one thing, but turning and stopping, you is another matter weight of 2.2 tons …

That is why Superpsorts is the only company equipped with a standard Bentley carbon brakes (they are usually around £ 10,000 as an option), why this track is more widespread, why are custom 20-inch Pirelli boots in every corner of the . Contrary to what you expect, not only Superpsorts turns clever, but the truly meet the ride. You can even drift it a little if you have enough space to thank recalibarated stabilization system and body control is impressive is to give weight. Is its exemption from London congestion charge?

For those who wanted a personalized Bentley the solution comes from MTM,the german tunning company who realised a special edition of the GTc model named Birkin Edition.At the exterior the modifications are minimal but the 21 inch Bimoto wheels just pop aut as well as the exhaust tips.
The big changes took place in tje engine wich received two performance upgrades.The first brought 85 more HP and the second another 15 and a 585 Nm of torque.
This ofcourse translates into greater performance:zero to sixty in just 4.2 seconds.MTM also lowered the suspensions for greater stability.
