Bentley Reveals Fresh Details on its New Continental V8 at NAIAS World Premiere



The V8 versions of the Bentley Continental GT coupe and GTC convertible were unveiled almost a month before its Detroit Motor Show debut. Even though for decades Bentleys sported a turbocharged V8 under their hood, the Continental does not employ the 6.75-liter unit that powers the current Mulsanne, but a brand-new 4.0-liter unit.

Despite slotting below the W12 version, the V8’s 500HP and 660Nm (487 lb-ft) ensure that it does service to the red badge that denotes the sportier Bentleys delivering a 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) time of under 5.0 seconds and a top speed exceeding 290 km/h (180 mph).
