Bentley Continental GT3, Continental Flying Spur, Continental GTC V8 and Mulsanne

We began to salivate when we saw the Bentley Continental GT3 up close and personal at the 2012 Paris Motor Show. The thought of a track-going Continental GT conjured up notions of the Bentley Boys, the original gentlemen racers, tearing down the Mulsanne straight. Well, according to AutoGuide, it appears our wistful ponderings will be realized in the form of an international spec racing series. Similar to the Porsche Carrera Cup or the Ferrari Challenge, this will be a one-make series, and Bentley seeks to run races in Europe, North America and Asia. As for the latter, Bentley Board Member for Marketing Kevin Rose suggested that China will be the likely host of an Asian race. According to Rose, sportscar racing is of interest to Bentley's Chinese customers. He also says that there will be participation by dealers. "Our dealers are by definition car nuts," claims Rose. While the Continental GT3 is being developed for pro-level use, Bentley is apparently working on a turn-key car for gentlemen racers. According to Rose, "We want to make it as easy as possible." While that doesn't sound like the devil-may-care Bentley Boys of yore, it's likely better to attract participation. The first trials are expected for 2013, and Bentley is even considering making vehicles available for privateer teams.

Bentley Continental GT V8 and Bentley Speed 8
The New Continental GT V8 A GT that drives to a different beat. The clues are there. The dark mesh radiator grille, ringed by bright metal. The aggressive lower bumper with its three air intakes. The dark rear valance, with its twin Exhaust tailpipes shaped into an elongated, side-on figure eight. And one further small, but significant detail: a red enamel Bentley winged 'B'. These are the tell-tale signs of an all-new Bentley, powered by a 4.0 litre V8 engine. From the distinctive backbeat of its eight cylinders at idling speed to the glorious snarl of full-throttle acceleration, the new V8 offers an exhilarating, involving and passionate route to Bentley Continental ownership. All-wheel drive and an eight-speed transmission transmit its power to the road with unshakable precision. This is a Bentley that can both stir the soul or calm the spirit, according to the mood of the driver or the conditions.





Bentley Continental GTC V8
The high-technology V8 also features high pressure direct injection, low friction bearings, thermal management, energy recuperation via the charging system, and innovative turbo charger packaging for greater efficiency.





Bentley EXP 9F Reveal Film
EXP 9 F, the SUV is recognizable as a Bentley almost instantly, with the massive front grille and the long bonnet. But it's like no other SUV out there. Heck, it's like no other car out there! The EXP 9 F concept is based around the Bentley 6.0 litre, twin-turbocharged W12 petrol engine, developing 600bhp and 800 Nm of torque coupled with an 8-speed close-ratio transmission. A range of other powertrain options are also under consideration. This includes Bentley's recently launched 500bhp, 4.0 litre petrol V8 as well as a groundbreaking powertrain for the luxury SUV segment -- a V6 plug-in hybrid. With a potential 30km range in full electric mode and CO2 emissions of 130g/km, the V6 hybrid would still be capable of a 0 to 100km/h sprint time of less than 5 seconds.





Bentley Continental GTC V8 Rioja Spain 2012
THE NEW BENTLEY 4.0 V8 CONTINENTAL MODELS IN DETAIL "The new V8 engine gives Bentley a three-engine line-up for the first time since the early days of the company and we're confident it will characterise the Bentley driving experience just as the 6.75 V8 and 6.0 W12 drivetrains do. Hitting the efficiency targets we set ourselves was a tough challenge; but not only is the new 4.0 V8 a standard-setter for fuel consumption and CO2 emissions, it also rewards the keen driver exactly as a Bentley engine should." Brian Gush, Head of Chassis and Powertrain Engineering, Bentley Motors. Bentley performance with 40 per cent efficiency gain •Downsizing •Engine Optimisation •Variable displacement •8 Speed Transmission •Thermal Management •Recuperation •Low rolling resistance tyres The red winged 'B' and black gloss grille provide a strong indicator that a different Bentley powerplant nestles in the engine bay of the Continental GT V8 and its convertible stablemate. Settle into the supportive cobra-style seats, press the start button, and all is revealed. The new 4.0 litre Bentley engine comes to life with an unmistakable V8 burble: deep, sporty and ready for action. To achieve the 40 per cent efficiency improvement targeted by Bentley's Board of Directors back in 2008, Bentley's engineering team left no detail unexamined. The reduction in displacement from 6.0 litre W12 to 4.0 litre V8 was the first starting point -- but a smaller capacity engine in itself would not have delivered anything close to the ambitious power and emissions targets. Variable displacement -- deactivating cylinders when at a gentle cruising speed or light throttle -- was already an area of Bentley expertise. The Bentley Mulsanne's 6.75 litre V8, though similar in format to the original Bentley V8 of 1959, features variable displacement as part of its technologically-advanced specification. Similar technology now features on the Bentley 4.0 V8: when the engine's control microprocessor detects a light throttle opening as the driver maintains a steady cruising speed or gentle acceleration or deceleration it closes the valves in four of the eight cylinders so that they simply act as air springs. This has two immediate benefits; the remaining four cylinders operate at a higher level of efficiency, and the engine's frictional and gas transfer losses are reduced. As soon as the driver presses the throttle harder the engine instantly switches back to full eight-cylinder operation. Switchable hydraulic engine mounts compensate for the different resonances of V8 and V4 mode, as the mount switches to a 'soft' state during idle for improved isolation from vibration. Seamlessly managing the transition between modes and maintaining optimum efficiency throughout the V8's operating range is a highly advanced engine management system (EMS). A 32-bit TriCore™ microprocessor performs up to 180 million instructions per second, providing an unparalleled level of precision in its control of the combustion process.





Unveiling the Bentley Continental GTC V8 | Twin Cities Luxury Auto
http://www.twincitiesluxuryauto.com Bentley unveiled the Continental GT and GTC V8 at the 2012 Detroit Auto Show and now it is finally available for purchase. The heritage of Bentley dates back to the early 1900s and while the V8 is nothing new for Bentley, this particular engine is something special. With the ability to travel 500 miles on one tank of gas, having 500HP and 487 ft/lb of torque, all combined with a close-ratio 8-speed automatic transmission which equates to a 4.6 second 0-60 on to a top speed of 188mph. Besides the main component, the engine, other differences from the W12 GT and GTC models include the black mesh grille surrounded by chrome frame, three air intakes to the lower fascia, Bentley 'B' emblems surrounded by Red, figure-8 design to Exhaust tips, as well as the option to have two-tone seats for the interior. All this, plus the 40% increase in fuel efficiency and dynamic engine management system allowing for only 4 cyclinders to be used during light loads make this Bentley a great choice for gorgeous, yet efficient vehicles.
