Bentley to stop producing powerful W12 engines

Published

on

Bentley will stop production of the W12 engine, which is being assembled at the plant in Crewe, UK, in April 2024, ending VW Group’s lineup of non-traditional 12-cylinder powertrains introduced more than 20 years ago.

Once the W12 leaves the production line, Bentley says it will be replaced by V8 and V6 hybrid engines as the company continues to transition its lineup to hybrids and electric vehicles.

Consisting of two VR6 engines, the W12 engine has been around since the early 2000s in various forms. In addition to the wide range of Bentley models in which it is available, including the Continental GT, Flying Spur and Bentayga, it has previously been offered in other VW Group vehicles such as the Audi A8 and Volkswagen Phaeton.

Last year, the 729-horsepower W12-powered Bentley Batur was introduced, with all cars already sold, and the company warns that there are very few other Bentley 12-cylinder cars left even on pre-orders.

Turbo is really bigger than Pro Redmi Note 12 Turbo

The new teaser says that the top version of Redmi Note 12 Turbo will have as much as 16 GB of RAM and 1 TB of flash memory. It is clear that we are not talking about the fastest memory (at least it won’t get the latest UFS 4.0), but the volumes are decent: not every flagship (including Xiaomi itself) has such options. As for performance, as shown by the real test Snapdragon 7 Gen 2, on which the Redmi Note 12 Turbo is built, is able to score more than 1,000,000 points in AnTuTu.

The official premiere of Redmi Note 12 Turbo will take place next week, March 28.
