The production of the prestigious W12 engine will cease in 2024, as Bentley recently announced. The engine recently powered outstanding vehicles such as the Bentley Flying Spur, Bentley Continental and Bentley Bentayga. At BMTS, the icon lives on as we offer the bi-turbo in the aftermarket as an original equipment manufacturer.
Bentley's legendary 6.0l W12 engine was launched in 2002 and consists of two combined VR6 powertrains. The engine has been continuously developed and in 2015 was fitted in the Bentley Bentayga with a BMTS bi-turbo resulting in an engine output of 485kW. The two turbochargers with core unit size BM79 each have an insulated twinscroll turbine housing and an air-gap insulated sheet metal manifold. Technical features also include an electric boost recirculation valve (eSUV) and a speed sensor. The boost pressure is regulated by a wastegate with vacuum actuator.
