Bentley
has pushed its iconic 6.0-litre twin-turbo W12 engine even further to
extract even more power from it and now it produces 635 PS (626bhp / 467
kW) and a record 820 Nm of torque. The British luxury car maker is gearing up for the upcoming Geneva Motor show which kicks off
next week and Bentley will unveil its fastest and the most powerful Continental GT
ever. The Continental GT as got a power upgrade of 10bhp more than
previous version. Also by bettering the top speed by 1mph, the 2014
Continental GT is the fastest Bentley ever. It is capable of reaching a
top speed of 331kmph (206mph) and the cabrio version can hit the top
speed of 327kmph (203mph)
The
exterior of the new Bentley sports quite a few changes including a
sharp front splitter, elegant side skirts and a beautifully shaped rear
diffuser which are finished to match the exterior paint color for the
first time. It also comes with lowered chassis, stiffer suspensions and a
dark tint finish has also been applied on the 21 inch alloy wheels.
Joining it will be the luxury sedan Flying Spur
that will also be offered with a 4.0 liter twin-turbo V8 apart from the
W12 6.0 liter engine. Visually, the black grille will be the
differentiating factor between the V8 and W12 powered Flying spurs.
