Bentley’s W12 TSI engine is the most advanced 12-cylinder engine in the world. The unique W-configuration means that the engine is 24 per cent shorter than an equivalent V12, benefitting packaging and maximising usable cabin space.<br />Originally created for the Bentley Bentayga, the W12 engine has been integrated into the new Continental GT. It takes six and a half hours to hand-assemble every W12 engine, from 294 individual components. Every single W12 engine is built by hand at Bentley’s home in Crewe – the Centre of Excellence for 12-cylinder engines in the Volkswagen Group.<br />The Continental GT has 25 per cent more torque and 7.5 per cent more power than the previous Continental GT W12, delivering a sprint to 60 mph that’s 0.7 seconds faster (0.8 seconds quicker to 100 km/h) and a top speed 9 mph (14 km/h) higher.<br />The W12 TSI combines high-pressure direct fuel injection (200 bar injection pressure) with low-pressure injection (MPI, 6 bar). The combination of these two systems maximises refinement, lowers particulate emissions and optimises power and torque delivery.<br />Follow us @AutoMotoTV - http://www.twitter.com/AutoMotoTV<br />Like us on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/CarVideosOnline<br />AutoMotoTV - http://www.youtube.com/AutoMotoTV<br /><br />AutoMotoTV Deutsch: http://bit.ly/2w3J1Bn
