Bentley Continental GT V8 S @ IAA 2013
Despite his ‘meagre’ V8 sprint this #GTV8S namely faster from 0 to 100 km/h than the 47 horsepower, stronger Conti GT with the W12. If you keep in mind that this version of V8 also cheaper than you will know that the days of the W12 are counted.

A standard Continental GT with V8 kicks it up to 507 hp/660 Nm and sprint in 4,8 seconds from 0 to 100 km/h, but this GT V8 S 528 hp/680 Nm, and so does sprint in 4.5 seconds. The Continental GT W12 has about 575 hp/700 Nm and will do the sprint in 4.6 seconds. Only the W12 Speed with 625 hp/800 Nm, is a blow faster. That version sprint in 4.2 seconds from standstill to 100 km/h.

In the Netherlands it will probably be a few still for the Continental GT Speed, but the regular W12, not a single sane person to buy. Due to the enormous taxation is that the car is not attractive. You can then be better for a ton less for this performance.
