A new V8 that can shut off half its cylinders will soon power the British luxury brand.

Guilt has finally caught up with the ultra-luxury end of the car market, with British brand Bentley today revealing the fuel-efficient, part-time four-cylinder engine that will power it into the future.

From early next year, buyers will be able to bypass the traditional 6.0-litre twin-turbocharged W12 engine – essentially a pair of 3.0-litre V6 engines arranged in a “W” formation – and replace it with a twin-turbocharged 4.0-litre V8 that has the ability to shut down four cylinders while cruising.

According to Bentley, the new v8 still provides a healthy 373kW of power fairly high in the rev range, with torque topping out at 660Nm not far off idle, providing “exhilarating performance and effortless power delivery in the Bentley tradition,” the car maker says.
