Here is a new official video starring the recently unveiled Bentley Continental GT V8. The model comes with a new V8 engine that boasts several innovative features such as its direct injection and the “cylinder on demand” technology, which automatically deactivates four cylinders when the vehicle is traveling at low speed to the benefit of its fuel consumption and CO2 emission figures.

The 4.0-litre twin turbo unit equipping the new Continental GT delivers 507 hp, with 660 Nm of peak torque available between 1,700 and 5,000 rpm. This engine, coupled with a 8-speed automatic transmission, allows the car to burn the 0-100 km/h (62 mph) in just 4.6 seconds (4.8 for the convertible version. Top speed is rated at 303 km/h (188 mph). The V8 versions can be told apart from the W12 variants by the newly designed tail pipes, the glossy black front grille with chrome outlines, the red ‘B’ badges, the different front bumper with integrated air intakes and its exclusive 20″ alloy wheels.
