Faster, Sportier and Awesome!
The Bentley Continental GT V8 had plenty of power, but this can, of course, always more. Just as with the computer games and voila: there is 528 hp instead of 507 hp, delivered by the 4.0-liter V8. The torque increased by 20 Nm to 680 Nm. On a car thick two tonnes, this is a handsome improvement.
Remarkably, we see that the extra power is not to the detriment of the fuel consumption / CO2 emissions. The achttrapsautomaat nothing was changed and also the automatic cilinderuitschakeling still works the same.
The chassis, that 1 centimeter is fallen, is better adjusted by stiffer springs and anti-roll bar. This will make the car better steering and less rolling. Also, the aerodynamics in the form of a splitter, side skirts, and diffuser should contribute to this by making sure that there is at the front, less lift is created.
How does all this translate to performance? The sprint from 0 to 100 km/h is now 0.3 seconds faster (4,5 sec. for the coupe and sec. 4.7 for the cabriolet) and top speed is increased by 6 km/h (coupé 309 km/h, cabrio 308 km/h).
The prices are not yet known, but if you have a nice legacy, you can the Continental V8 S – GT or GTC – from order now. The new Bentley Continental V8 S in our country from the beginning of 2014 available through Bentley Leusden.
