The engine

6.0L Twin-Turbo W12

6.0L Twin-Turbo W12

Bentley's 6.0-liter twin-turbo W12 is a masterpiece of smooth, silent muscle — two narrow-angle V6s sharing a crank to make a hugely powerful engine short enough to fit a grand tourer's nose.

A Volkswagen Group engineering tour de force unique to Bentley, the W12 was hand-built at Crewe for two decades before being retired in 2024 in favor of a hybrid V8.
