The engine

4.0L Twin-Turbo V8

Bentley's 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 trades a little of the W12's silk for athleticism and a deeper, harder-edged growl, hauling the big Bentaygas and Continentals with muscular ease.

An Audi-developed hot-vee V8 shared across the VW Group's luxury arms, hand-finished at Crewe to suit Bentley's blend of pace and refinement.

Cylinder deactivation lets it run on four cylinders when cruising to save fuel.
The turbos nestle inside the V of the engine for sharper response.
