Compared to the W12, then, the V8 is literally a lightweight. Not metaphorically, though, Bentley says. The twin-turbocharged engine will still pump out 542 brake horsepower, which will get you from 0 to 100 kilometres per hour in 4.1 seconds and allow a top speed of 318kph.
Agility is key to the V8 – ride stability has been improved due to a revamp in weight distribution and, of course, all this slenderness will ensure the car goes a lot further before you have to pull into the petrol station for a fill-up. Always a bonus in a big car.
The V8 is available in eight colours, and in four and five-seat configurations. It also incorporates the usual portfolio of intelligent and intuitive equipment tailored to the driver and passengers, including a new touchscreen in the rear. The car balances delicacy and craftsmanship, with a choice of seats in five hide hues.

Shane van Gisbergen has had to settle for equalling a Supercars record rather than setting a new one.
After six races of the season, the Kiwi driver was on track to surpass the mark for the best start to a campaign, having equalled that of Allan Moffat (1977) and Mark Skaife (1994). However, it was teammate Jamie Whincup who ended van Gisbergen s bid to etch his name alone in the history books, winning the first of the two Tasmania Supersprint races on Sunday.
Maserati has revealed their latest supercar, the MC20. The mid-engined two-seater is powered by a 463 kW V6 and capable of hitting 100 km/h in 2.9 seconds.
