Bentley's future is electric, and that means its range of gas engines has to go.
Bentley's twin-turbo 6.0-liter W-12 engine will soon be a thing of the past, with the automaker on Tuesday announcing that production of the unique engine will come to an end in April 2024., which Bentley said during last year's reveal serves as a bridge between the automaker's internal-combustion past and electric future.
The W-12, as well as the V-6 and V-8 Bentley uses, was always on borrowed time. The automaker has confirmed plans to go the fully electric route by the end of the decade. By the time production comes to an end, more than 105,000 examples of the W-12 will have been built, according to Bentley.The engine made its debut in the Continental GT two decades ago and has been updated over the years, as well as supplied to other brands within the Volkswagen Group at times.
