2015 Bentley Continental GT Supersports - For those who haven’t checked in within the Bentley model in the ten years or even more, the 2015 Bentley Continental GT V8 S is a good place to begin from which to know precisely just how much this once-stodgy model has transformed. Its all-wheel-drive GT family members may be witnessed for a high-shouldered unique in some respects-performance quantities, for instance-yet it carries an exceptional touring-car gloss through, and no sacrifice in consolation.
The GT V8 S product, introduced this past model year, rises into the celebration in 2015 given that the general performance touring automobile with the lineup, using a higher-output 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V-8 building 521 horsepower and 502 pound-feet of torque. It is mated to an eight-speed ZF automated transmission that includes an S mode with sharper throttle reaction along with a more intense change logic. GT V8 S models will get to sixty mph in only 4.3 seconds, and to a top rated pace of 192 mph. GT V8 versions carry their output of 500 hp and 487 lb-ft (and sub-five-second 0-60 time) more than from final calendar year. Both of those the
GT Coupe and Convertible continue to be also supplied while using the top rated 6.0-liter twin-turbocharged W-12 motor that creates 631 hp.
Despite the greater output on the W12 versions, we’ve famous that V8 designs experience perkier and much more vivid guiding the wheel; we expect an extension of that in V8 S products and hope to soon update this evaluation on that driving experience. Also, according to Bentley the V8 products can go a lot more than five hundred miles over a tank, thanks in part into a cylinder-deactivation method that runs the direct-injection motor in V-4 mode below light-load conditions.
Together with the very last redesign in the GT, for 2012, when it had been additional firmly divided within the Flying Spur sedans, the GT earned a considerably more chiseled search, with creased aluminum sheetmetal that helps it stand like a type of sharp-shouldered bit of rolling art, though the GTC (convertible) gets what we consider to be considered a relatively much more standard (and comfortable) search. As to the S product, it will get a to some degree different list of visual priorities, with a rear diffuser, a more aggressive entrance splitter, and diverse facet sills to match, also as 20-inch wheels and red-painted brake calipers. The V8 automobiles are distinguished by their blacked-out grille, red-enameled badging, and figure-eight exhaust pipes.
The entire lineup consists of electronic local climate control, Bluetooth and a DVD navigation technique that also controls local climate and audio features. The navigation procedure sporting activities Google maps along with a vibrant 8-inch Liquid crystal display touchscreen.
