The internal-combustion-only V8 is being retired from the Bentley Continental and the Flying Spur
The 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 will soon no longer be offered in the Bentley Continental, or the Flying Spur. Order books for V8-powered models have already closed in the UK, Europe, and the Middle East. The Continental GT and GTC will soon get a hybrid V8 powertrain with an impressive 740 hp Bentley is cleaning up its act and focusing on hybrid power, and that means that the un-electrified 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 will be retired from the Continental GT, Continental GTC, and the Flying Spur.
The new hybrid powertrain produces 90 more horses than the W12 it replaces and will offer up to 50 miles of EV range. Although torque figures remain a mystery, Bentley did promise that the unit will offer a four-figure number, meaning that the powertrain will churn out at least 1,000 Nm of torque, which should make any model equipped with it quite quick. https://www.youtube.
