Bentley today revealed its new Ls V8 variety operated by the VW Team's new 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 program. The new program will energy both the Ls GT vehicle and its GTC sports car sister, which will obtain their world very first at the Detroit Motor Show on The month of january 9.
This is the first time Bentley has put a V8 program under the cover of the Continental: since 2003, when the first engineering of the fantastic visiting vehicle joined generation, the single program choice was the dual turbocharged 6.0-liter W12, which is still the main of the Ls program variety.
Wolfgang Dürheimer, Chairman and CEO of Bentley Applications , said: “With the new 4.0-liter V8 program we are increasing the benefit the newest engineering of Continentals. The new program will have all the stimulating energy, excitement and efficiency you would expect from a V8 program wearing the well-known Bentley wings, quickly provided with our feature ‘wave of torque’. This is associated by modern powertrain engineering that offers excellent petrol overall efficiency and pollutants.”
Its highest possible result is 500HP at 6,000 rpm and 660Nm (487 lb-ft) of twisting, which are available from 1,700 to 4,000 rpm. Power is focused to all four tires via a new, close-ratio 8-speed automated gear box and an AWD program with a Torsen differential and a 40:60 front/rear twisting break up.
Official results indicate the Ls V8 increases to 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) in less than 5.0 mere a few moments and actually reaches a top swiftness in excess of 290 km/h (180 mph).
The new V8 features a high-pressure direct treatment program, low scrubbing bearings, energy control and energy restoration via the receiving program. According to the company, the positioning of the two turbochargers within the engines' financial institutions guarantees greater overall efficiency.
The new motor’s most modern program, though, is the diverse program displacement that, under lumination plenty, changes the V8 into a four-cylinder unit for reduced usage and CO2 pollutants. The English carmaker promises that, thanks to the modern program control program, the move between the two methods of function is imperceptible from the motorist and residents.
Although formal results will be published in early 2012, Bentley promises “outstanding levels of petrol overall efficiency for the luxurious efficiency sector” and a 40% development over earlier variations, as well as a variety of over 800 km (500 miles) on a single container of petrol.
Externally, the V8 GT and GTC are familiar by the dark-colored shine matrix grill with a internet explorer shape and center bar, the red tooth Bentley logo and the dark-colored matrix cheaper entrance fender that is separated by three shaded strakes.
Both the vehicle and the sports car come with 20-inch aluminum tires as normal and 21-inch six-spoke, in Diamonds Black or Diamonds Gold, complete as an option, while at the back there are chromed “figure eight” fatigue plumbing and a darkish cheaper valance.
