Bentley SUV to get 600bhp W12?

VW Group reveals monster new 6.0-litre twelve-cylinder for its ‘premium’ models

At the Vienna Motor Symposium last week, VW Group board member Dr Heinz-Jakob Neußer announced: "Climate protection is an integral part of [Volkswagen's] responsibility towards people and society."
So welcome, everyone, to the Group's monster new 6.0-litre W12 TSI engine, ready for service in Volkswagen's premium portfolio. Because nothing screams eco like a 600bhp, range-topping twelve-cylinder engine.
We jest, naturally - there were other, more efficient engines revealed too - but this one's important. Likely to feature in the new Continental and Mulsanne, as well as the VW Phaeton and Audi A8, it combines Audi's FSI direct injection and Bentley's TMPI multi-point injection, and features a host of engine improvements to make the business of suck-squeeze-bang-blow that much punchier.
Things like cylinder bores with APS coating, a cooling system with integrated temp management, dual fuel injection with high pressure direct and low pressure manifold injection, twin-scroll twin-turbos, cylinder bank deactivation and an ECU with two controllers. You still with us?
Good, because the next few bits are interesting. This new 6.0-litre W12 gets an oil circuit "suitable for off-road use", we're told, with a switchable oil pump, and adaptive engine suspension with hydraulic damping. All set up perfectly, you'd imagine, for the new Bentley Bentayga SUV.
With 600bhp and a whopping 900Nm of torque, it'd certainly be powerful enough for the Big Bentley. VW reckons - depending of course within what lump of metal this 6.0-litre is deployed - it'll propel its host from 0-100kph in less than four seconds, and top out at well over 300kph. Yowser.
Elsewhere, VW also revealed a 268bhp 1.0-litre three-cylinder engine with "genes from the Polo WRC's rally engine", and a new 2.0-litre diesel for light-duty vehicles. But you don't care about that. You care about the 6.0-litre.

McLaren P2 by Rakesh

The McLaren P2 is a concept created by Rakesh Bag , a Student of The Aditya Birla Public School , Veraval , Gujarat from INDIA The styling of the McLaren P2 is more attractive and less clinical than the McLaren P1 , but you can bet your entire worldly possessions on the fact every last millimetre of the bodywork has been extensivley analysed in the windtunnel. The front is unique and original, the way lower part of the bumper flows back into the ‘C’ shaped headlights is inspired. And the P2’s rear end has got to be one of the best in the business. Stunning. “the McLaren P1 and P2 will be the result of 50 years of racing and road car heritage. Twenty years ago we raised the supercar performance bar with the McLaren F1 and our goal with the McLaren P1 and P2 is to redefine it once again.” “Our aim is not necessarily to be the fastest in absolute top speed but to be the quickest and most rewarding series production road car on a circuit,” adds McLaren Automotive Managing Director Anton...
