2012 Bentley Continental GT comes with a twin-turbo 6.0-liter W12 engine with upwards of 600 bhp (447 kW / 608 PS) and 553 lb-ft (749 Nm) of torque. A 'Quickshift' transmission will transfer that power to the all-wheel drive system,which should be good for a 0-60 mph (96 km/h) sprint time of under 4.5 seconds.
Bentley’s acclaimed 6-litre, 12-cylinder, twin-turbocharged powertrain now has a raised power output of 575PS (567bhp/423kW) and 700Nm (516lb ft) of torque and this is mated to a new Quickshift transmission which enables double downshifts. Thanks to advanced FlexFuel technology it can also run on both standard unleaded petrol (gasoline) and sustainable bioethanol (up to E85) or any mix of the two.
In late 2011 an all-new, high-output 8-cylinder engine will also be available to order. This advanced power unit will deliver a 40 percent reduction in emissions compared with the W12 engine and will offer a class-leading CO2 emissions-to-power ratio with Bentley levels of performance and refinement.
