Following up on its commitment to lowering CO2 emissions and boosting fuel economy, Bentley is introducing the
2013 Continental GT V8.
Combining a new 4-liter V8 engine and a power train that Bentley says
requires 40% less fuel with no power sacrifice, the Continental GT
promises to attain excellent benchmarks for power-to-emissions within
the high luxury performance car marketplace.

Performance
The lower fuel consumption of the Continental GT is achieved by means
of a sophisticated cylinder deactivation system, providing a smooth
transition from V8 to V4 modes while undergoing low throttle work-loads.
The Continental GT V8 engine features cutting edge technology, such
as high pressure direct injection, ultra-low friction bearings, a
superior thermal management system, energy retrieval by way of the
charging system, and a revolutionary turbo charger housing for increased
overall performance.
The Bentley GT will be capable of delivering 500 hp and 487 ft-lbs
torque, and combined with a brand new close-ratio 8-speed automatic
transmission it will reach 0-60 mph in 4.6 seconds with a top speed of
188 mph.
Exterior & Interior
The new Bentley V8 will be available in two models, the Continental
GT or the Continental GTC. Both are easy to recognized by their black
glossy matrix grill, chrome frame and center bar, a red Bentley "B"
logo, plus a black matrix three-segment front bumper which is divided
into unique body-colored strakes.
At the back of the car there are special chrome "figure-eight"
tailpipe exhausts, a dark low valence, and a red "B" logo on the trunk.
Both of the Bentley models are equipped with 20 inch alloy wheels as
basic options.
Also available are 21 inch 6-spoke style wheels in Diamond Black or Diamond Silver surface finishes.
The interior features an Eliade fabric headliner, fashionable Dark
Fiddleback Eucalyptus veneers, and an elective two-tone leather color
split and short center console, to round out the classy theme of the
car.
The new 2013 Bentley Continental GT does not sacrifice luxury, looks,
or power, when it delivers its promise to provide a robust 4-liter V8
engine with better fuel economy, for the ultimate luxury sports-car
driving experience.
The New 2013 Audi R8 ก็ยังคงใช้เครื่องยนต์ตัวเดิมคือ V8 4.2 ลิตร ( 4,163 cc ) กับ V10 5.2 ลิตร (5,204 cc) ที่จะติดตั้งคู่กับระบบเกียร์แบบใหม่เป็นแบบ 7-speed S tronic นอกจากที่จะให้อัตราเร่ง 0- 100 km/h ที่ดีเยี่ยมกว่าเดิมราว 0.3 วินาทีเเล้ว ยังช่วยลดการปล่อยก๊าซ CO2 ได้ถึง 22 กรัม / กม. (35.41 กรัม /ไมล์) 
Also available are 21 inch 6-spoke style wheels in Diamond Black or Diamond Silver surface finishes.
By
the car's engine and its upgrades, its suspension tuning and its high
end components, it is reasonable to presume that the car can withstand
extended high speeds. The car is not tested by the federal government
and other regulatory bodies since it has just been presented.
