Volkswagen is a large company which, therefore, faces several dilemmas when adapting to the decarbonisation process. Although they recently announced that they will continue to bet on the combustion engine, the new luxury model that they will launch in the market is ostentatious hybrid engine which combines power, efficiency and low emissions.
The new 782 HP hybrid engine: two fusion fuels, and a mystery to be solved
Volkswagen Group is a conglomerate of corporations that have a great influence and history in the history of automobiles. This is how Bentley, a sub-brand of VW today, surprises us with a new model to replace it. one of the great classics of the brand: the W12.
This car is already a legend among lovers of high performance engines, having been retired after twenty years of uninterrupted service. For a long time it was an icon of power, speed and luxury. However, for a few years now, these massive 6.0L engines can no longer compete with the new, more efficient technologies.
The car that will replace the W12 is the Speed GT Bentley Continental, a lighter, smaller and more efficient hybrid engine that surpasses the performance of its twelve-cylinder predecessor. The exclusive model increases power and torque by 20% from a 4.0L biturbo V8 engine.
Less consumption, better performance: this is how they have achieved the impossible
Bentley engineers managed to reduce the size and weight of the engine while greatly increasing performance and power. The secret behind this elegant work of engineering is the use of hybrid technology.
Instead of limiting the hybrid engine only to reduce emissions, this new luxury model offers the function of increasing the car’s performance. The increase in power, speed and performance of the car comes from the second electric motor, which goes with the gearbox. It is this piece of advanced electronics that elevates performance to 782 HP and 1000 torque.
The gearbox is eight-speed with dual clutch. The gear change is extremely smooth, thanks to the electric motor designed to activate during each movement of the box. The ultimate speed reaches the Continental GT Speed 285 km/h electronically limited. Thanks to the hybrid technology, it is able to achieve a total of 859 km of autonomy.
A heritage of luxury and design: the British brand has just broken all records
The new Bentley model with its fourth generation hybrid engine continues the lines of exclusivity and high profile that defined the W12 in all its versions. As expected, the innovations expected from any current model are added: a 12.3-inch LED screen, 20 positions in each of the seats,
With a Bang & Olufsen sound system that meets even the highest expectations, we see a perfect balance between classic design lines on the body together with current trends printed on the upholstery and interior.
The new Continental GT Speed has all-wheel drive, a key feature of its high performance that allows it to accelerate from 0 to 100 in 3.2 seconds while offering the best driving experience possible in a car in this range.
A new approach to the hybrid engine
The hybrid engine represents the new phase of low emission engines. However, taking into account advances in hydrogen and green ammonia fuels, as well as the upcoming implementation of full decarbonisation for all European manufacturers, the question is raised as to how long the these transfer technologies.
