Thankfully Bentley engineers get to turn it into a proper engine before it goes in.
But yes, cast by demons and dyslexic VAG engineers indeed

And turn the power down from the RS6!

I had a new RS6 blast by me the other week & I dropped my window expecting to hear something rather special but sadly it sounded muted & muffled by the turbos I was a little disappointed to be honest...still wouldn't say no to one though!

Re: 3 days and counting
Being based just 3 miles from the Bentley factory we get to see lots of them around Crewe / Nantwich area. I have lots of family & friends who work there including some at senior design level and senior road testers and they all say the one to have is the V8. Better MPG, improved noise, more character - what's not to like?
Have driven both and personally would only have the V8 but mine would have to have a roof...
Have fun,
Chris

Looking good. As fort the euro millions needed for the P1, the way you're climbing the car chart I would say that P1 could be in your garage in a couple of years.
