During the deceleration of the car, there is an alternator meant to charge the battery. An eight speed automatic transmission makes the auto tougher. This is a version much better than the one that Audi S8 has. The numbers that it projects are not bad and the mpg of the car is great which lures the potential buyers. This new GT V8 Coupe is said to have 12 percent less power and torque compared to the 12 cylinder model. Since this is the case, the car is also much cheaper which is seemed to be a fair deal.

The price of the models clearly defines them, where one is more fun and the other is more luxurious. The agility of the V8 GT Bentley is a result of a lighter engine which changes the weight distribution of the whole car which is now 51/49 from 56/44. If you turn on the corners, you feel immediately the precision of its steering especially on sharp beds. You will also feel the limit of the stability. The car has lesser tendency for under steering compared to the W-12 version. If you have the traction control off, the stability system will allow you to slip so the car can have a controlled drift.

The Bentley GT is powered by an 8 speed gearbox because it enhances the agility of the car. This shifts much faster than the w12 GT. The car also highlights its athletic feature. This can be seen in small changes like B badges, glossy mesh grille, lower front bumper design and oval exhaust tail pipes. You will definitely see that the car is more German than its British counterpart. Nobody seemed to mind because of the fact that you can save a lot of gas (imagine a full tank covering 500 miles). This car model is said to be a perfect car for those who want luxury but want to save more money on gas.
