The lighter V8 powered Bentley Continental provides a different flavour to the V12. The new generation V8 engine is 4.0L in capacity, has 32 valves and develops 542 hp and 568 lb-ft of torque. That may be a little less power and torque than the V12 engine, but enough to propel the Continental from 0-62 mph in 4 seconds flat and on to a top speed of 198 mph.
