Bentley telah mengumumkan rangkaian kuasa Ultra Performance Hybrid serba baharu direka untuk menjayakan enjin W12 yang terkenal. Dinamakan Ultra Performance Hybrid, rangkaian kuasa canggih ini menjanjikan output kuasa tertinggi yang pernah dilihat dalam kenderaan Bentley, ditambah pula dengan kedinamikan, responsif dan kecekapan yang tiada tandingan, menandakan era baharu supercar harian.

Meneruskan tradisi Bentley untuk menggabungkan enjin pembakaran peringkat teratas dengan teknologi terkini, Ultra Performance Hybrid memperkenalkan “electrocharging,” persediaan hibrid yang kuat yang menolak sempadan prestasi. Dengan lebih 750PS dan jarak memandu elektrik sahaja sejauh 80km, ia mengatasi prestasi enjin W12 sebelumnya dengan sekurang-kurangnya 91PS, yang sebelum ini ditawarkan dalam varian Flying Spur dan GT W12 Speed.

Memandangkan enjin 6.0 liter twin-turbo W12 ikonik Bentley hampir bersara selepas menjana 105,000 enjin dalam tempoh dua dekad, Ultra Performance Hybrid meningkat sebagai rangkaian kuasa utama Bentley. Ia akan memacu generasi baharu Bentley, menjadikan mereka sebagai kenderaan berprestasi mewah elektrik terbaik di dunia. Walaupun menawarkan lebih kuasa dan tork berbanding W12, Ultra Performance Hybrid akan mencapai angka CO2 kitaran pemacu WLTP di bawah 50 g/km.

Watak enjin baharu itu dipratonton dengan klip bunyi enjin, menampilkan gabungan ‘cross-plane bass dan bunyi free-revving’, mempamerkan rangkaian pengalaman audio yang ditawarkan oleh rangkaian kuasa, daripada nota enjin dinamik kepada senyap dalam mod elektrik.

Butiran lanjut mengenai rangkaian kuasa elektrik baharu Bentley yang akan memacu fasa seterusnya perjalanan ‘Beyond 100’, akan diumumkan dalam beberapa minggu akan datang. Sementara itu, pelanggan masih boleh meneroka contoh baki enjin W12 dan bukan hibrid V8 Bentley yang tersedia melalui rangkaian peruncit global Bentley.

Bentley has announced a significant step towards the future with the introduction of an all-new, performance-focused V8 hybrid powertrain, which will succeed its iconic W12 engine. Named the Ultra Performance Hybrid, this new powertrain marks Bentley’s commitment to delivering the highest power output ever offered in a Bentley vehicle, alongside unparalleled dynamism, responsiveness, and efficiency, ushering in a new era of daily supercars.

The Ultra Performance Hybrid continues Bentley’s tradition of enhancing class-leading combustion engines with cutting-edge technology to elevate performance. Building on Bentley’s existing hybrid powertrains, this new system introduces “electrocharging,” employing a potent hybrid setup to achieve the most advanced and powerful powertrain in Bentley’s history. With over 750PS and an electric-only range of 80km, it surpasses the performance of the previous W12 engine by at least 91PS, previously offered in the Flying Spur and GT W12 Speed derivatives.

As Bentley’s iconic 6.0-litre twin-turbo W12 engine nears retirement after powering 105,000 engines over the last two decades, the Ultra Performance Hybrid will take the lead as Bentley’s premier powertrain. It will propel a new generation of Bentleys, establishing them as the world’s finest electrified luxury performance vehicles. Despite delivering more power and torque than the W12, the Ultra Performance Hybrid will achieve a WLTP drive cycle CO2 figure of under 50 g/km.

The character of the new engine is previewed with an engine sound clip, showcasing a blend of cross-plane bass and a free-revving growl, representing the spectrum of audio experiences offered by the powertrain. This ranges from dynamic engine notes to absolute silence in electric mode.

More details on Bentley’s new electrified powertrain, driving the next phase of its Beyond 100 journey, will be revealed in the coming weeks. Meanwhile, customers can still enjoy the remaining examples of Bentley’s W12 and non-hybrid V8 engines available through Bentley’s global retailer network.

Bentley akan mempamerkan kereta coachbuilt baharu pada 7 Mei 2024, mengikuti kereta istimewa mereka yang lain iaitu Bacalar Barchetta dan Batur coupe. Ia dibuat oleh Mulliner, pasukan khas Bentley untuk membuat kereta unik. Mereka hanya akan membuat 16 daripada kereta ini, dan ia adalah antara yang terakhir menggunakan enjin W12 Bentley yang berkuasa tinggi.

Bentley Motors is set to unveil its third coachbuilt creation on May 7, 2024, following the remarkable Bacalar Barchetta and Batur coupe. Crafted by Mulliner, Bentley’s renowned in-house bespoke division with a rich heritage in coachbuilding, this new addition to the exclusive family of Bentleys will uphold Mulliner’s tradition of creating truly unique cars tailored to the desires of its discerning clientele.

Limited to just 16 units, this new coachbuilt Bentley will be among the final units to be powered by Bentley’s iconic W12 engine, featuring its most potent iteration.

While specifics on the power output of this new creation have not been revealed, it’s anticipated that it may not match the 730hp and 1,003Nm of torque seen in the Batur coupe. Instead, output could align more closely with the 650hp of the Speed Edition 12 model.

Bentley first introduced the W-12 engine in 2003 with the debut of the first-generation Continental GT. With production coming to a close this year, Bentley estimates that over 105,000 examples of this engine will have been produced. While Bentley has yet to announce the powertrain that will succeed the W-12, speculation suggests a plug-in hybrid configuration featuring a turbocharged V-8.

Looking towards the future, Bentley envisions a transition from plug-in hybrids to electric vehicles (EVs), albeit with a revised timeline after postponing its previous goal of completing this shift by the decade’s end. The automaker now aims to debut its inaugural EV in 2026. Given the resounding success of past offerings like the Bacalar and Batur, which sold out swiftly, there’s ample potential for coachbuilt Bentleys to thrive in the forthcoming EV era.
