"Now some of the weapons used to achieve these diverse aims can be revealed. Under the bonnet lives a 6-litre, twin-turbocharged W12 formation Bentley engine with a power output in excess of 500bhp. But power is nothing without the torque to back it up and while the exact torque peak of the new engine must remain a secret for now it will come as no surprise to those familiar with the Bentley approach to power delivery that it will be more than adequate for the job."

Sweet :D

I've never been much for Bentleys (if I buy a boat I want it to float), but that is one damn sweet car.

I would guess it to cost at least $250K.

$145K is surprisingly low, though I guess if they concentrated more on performance than ultimate luxury that might lower the cost.

Considering the following:

Arnage: $213,990 - $228,990
Continental: $288,990 - $308,990
Azure: $349,990

I would have expected more.

W12 with 500bhp... seems to be kind of lacking in the power

Yea, they said the engine will be underpowered in order to give it the signature bently feel, whatever that means :Q
