Bentley To Kill The 6.75L V8

Bentley is set to kill off its iconic 6.75L turbocharged V8 – and this time it's for good. Back around the turn of the millenium, Bentley debuted their new Arnage with a BMW-derived V8 engine. That didn't go over well with the Bentley faithful, forcing the company to brand it as the "Green Label", and then re-introduce the six-and-three-quarters V8 as the "Red Label", the Bentley of choice for true pimps and scoundrels. Going forward, Bentley will be pushed towards 12-cylinder engines, and having a V8 flagship doesn't quite fit with that message. Volkswagen can push whatever message they want as far as we're concerned; the one true Bentley is the one pictured above. from The Truth About Cars http://www.thetruthaboutcars.com
