Bentley have a new car on the roads, so if you hear something roaring in the lane next to you, you now know what it is.

As with every other car manufacturer, they’re using the expression “power-to-emission” instead of “power-to-weight” which is soooo 80’s. Not that it matters in a Bentley, take a look at the figures below.

The new car boasts a 4.0-litre, twin turbocharged Continental GT V8, which believe it or not, features a 40% improvement in fuel efficiency and CO2 emissions.

Bentley quote a road-trip worthy 800km on a single tank of fuel.

When bridled to the new close-ratio 8-speed automatic transmission, the new Continental does the 0-100 sprint in 4.6 seconds and a top speed of 303km/h.

Power is 373 Kw and a planet spinning 660 Nm
