Próximos lançamentos da Bentley - Autonews

Bentley has given the green light for production of a $250,000 premium crossover that figures to create a new segment.In the future, new and redesigned Bentley vehicles will share platforms and engines with other Volkswagen Group brands.
The crossover will share a platform with Lamborghini, Audi and Porsche. The next-generation Continental range will share its platform with the redesigned Audi A8 and Porsche Panamera.

Continental: Sales of the re-engineered Flying Spur sedan began last month.
Beginning in 2017, all three Continental models -- the GT coupe, GTC convertible and Flying Spur sedan -- will switch to a new VW Group platform that also will be used for the next Audi A8 and Porsche Panamera.

Mulsanne: If approved for production, the convertible version will probably debut in 2015. Sketches of a concept were released in August 2012. It would be powered by a 512-hp V-8 engine.

Crossover: Bentley's crossover will go on sale in 2016. The name hasn't been revealed but it may be called Falcon. The vehicle will share the platform with the next-generation Audi Q7 and the Lamborghini Urus crossover. Styling cues are expected to come from the EXP 9 F concept, but Bentley has said that the production version has been significantly changed.

quais sao as vantagens de um w12 face a um v12? e vice-versa?


edit:
entretanto descobri isto:

Really, the only benefit is the compactness of the engine itseld. The W12, will probably take the same amount of space that a regular V8. And it's great that it's in a luxury car, with a long warranty. Because any work that will need to be made to the engine, will be a total nightmare along the line.

Sometimes it's "cute" to invent something different. But after so many decades of the internal combustion engines, there's just some things that must STAY the same, because thats the best way. This is one of these cases.

Parece que a única vantagem do w12 é mesmo só poupar espaço.

Bentley coupé de 4 portas em 2018

Information recently surfaced that Bentley intended to introduce a new four-door coupe to their line-up which is naturally followed by speculative renderings by the talented artists in the world.
The first is this simple effort by Theophilus Chin which you can see above.

The Bentley four-door coupe will ride on Volkswagen's MSB platform that will also underpin the next generation Porsche Panamera. We'll have to hope that Bentley is a little more successful with its design compared to their Porsche cousin which has not been well recieved.
Power is likely to come from the brand's 12 cylinder engine and pricing is likely to start above €125,000 when it is launched in 2018.

Bentley com recordes de vendas em 2013

Bentley’s 2013 sales figures are in and it appears that the staff over in Crewe has plenty of reasons to order champagne. Last year, the carmaker managed to deliver 10,120 cars, a record in its 95-year history.

To get an idea of what the figure means, we’ll tell you that Bentley sold 8,510 units back in 2012. Bentley’s 2013 effort brought the company an extra three percent of market share, so the automaker now has 25 percent of the luxury segment. This makes Bentley a leader in a segment that fell 6 percent.

The Brits didn’t offer details about the exact contribution brought by each of its three model families, but they did mention that the Flying Spur did exceptionally well.

2013 saw Bentley heavily revamp the Continental Flying Spur, with the vehicle being renamed the Flying Spur. They’ve done a pretty nifty job, as they’ve convinced 2,005 customers during the four months of full availability, while the average yearly sales of the Continental Flying Spur sat at 2,700 units.

The Americas region kept its position as the number one market for Bentley (31 percent of the total deliveries). Here, Bentley grew by 28 percent to 3,140 units.

China also kept its place, trailing the Americas with 31 percent of the overall deliveries. In the Middle Kingdom Bentley pushed 3,140 vehicles, a 28 percent boost compared to the 2012 figure.

In Europe, deliveries increased by 11 percent (1,480 cars), an 11 percent gain. As for the UK, this saw 1,381 cars reach their owners, a 25 percent year-on-year boost.

As for the Middle East and Asia Pacific, these saw deliveries reach a record level. In the first, the sales increase was led by the Mulsanne, whose deliveries increased by 38 percent - the total deliveries rose by 45 percent to 1,185 cars. When it came to Asia Pacific, deliveries rose by 26 percent to 452 units, with the Continental GT family leading the offensive.

Japan also did well, as Bentley deliveries in the country grew by a massive 53 percent to 291 cars.
