2012 Bentley Continental GT V8


Remember that the Bentley Continental GT has enjoyed remarkable success worldwide ? and since 2003 has sold over 50,000 units worldwide. In fact, it has become a reference among "The luxury Gran Turismo", making a picture even higher than that of rivals like the Mercedes CL enshrined.

Right now, we're gonna talking about the new V8  version of Bentley Continental GT. The new V8 retains all the luxury and exclusivity of the model known so far, as well as measures 4.80 meters long, 1.92 meters wide and 1.39 meters high.

While we fail to know all the mechanical details of the new Continental GT and GTC V8, it is anticipated that the torque of the biturbo engine is 660 Nm from 1,700 rpm, is even higher than the two-liter engine and four more cylinders.

With the presumed lower weight, the new gearbox 8-speed automatic (in the W12 6-speed) and this brilliant technology, accelerating from 0 to 100 km / h. The new model is announced below 5 seconds, or that is, a record very similar to the 4.8 seconds that says the 560-hp W12.

But the true reason for the new mechanism is to reduce the fuel consumption and emissions, which are expected around 40%. Although we really not sure, some sources indicated that the Continental GT V8 could consume just over 10 l/100 km (return of 20 km / l), although emissions would do well above 200 g / km of CO2.
