The story of the Bentley Continental GT V8 starts with the president of company casually asking one of his engineers how much fuel they could save by going to a twin turbo V8 instead of the W12. The engineer estimated “probably around 40%” which the president then started using as a hard statistic for the car even before it had been designed. The engineering teams were actually able to more or less hit the mark (37%) in the “fuel efficient” Bentley which still makes 500 hp and 480 ft-lbs of torque. Motor Trend’s senior editor, Johnny Lieberman, takes the new Bentley for a tour of all of the places he’s wanted to see in Scotland. The video is long, but you learn a lot about the car and about some cool things in Scotland.
