Turns out what I thought was a base model 500-something horsepower plebeian Bentley V8 is actually a 616 horsepower W12 Speed model. It was of the upmost importance that I share this information with you all as soon as possible.

Didn't I say it wasn't even a V8?

The V8s are better cars.

No I know you said it "wasn't even a V8". I still thought it was, but you did say so and you were right.

I still prefer the W12 because more power.

I've seen that Bentley around town. I would've had the V8.
Saw an Audi R8 at the Starbucks on 72nd and dodge this morning, it sounded very nice.

White or grey?

Brian Silvestro > Opposite Locksmith 03/10/2015 at 10:56

Yes. They're lighter, more balanced, newer, better engines. They make the car handle much better as well. And it's pretty much just as powerful.

nice points! Good to know, and it's not as off any Bentley driver is going to be milking every rev out of either

Another interesting fact is that the GT3 racecars use the V8, not the W12.

It was grey. Or was it white and gold... no blue and black...

It was likely this one. I've seen it several times around here in the last six months, including on Sunday. What's odd is the Florida plates.

I agree, I don't see a lot of out of state luxury/supercars until the Berkshire shareholders meeting.

I hope you like grey.

Personally, in a big heavy GT car like this, I don't much care about lightness and handling. If I did I'd buy something else. But it's a 116 hp gain, which is quite a bit, and helpful for passing poors.
