New vs Old: Porsche 911, Bentley Continental GT and BMW 3-Series

For today, I have a very basic test for you. Just check these four car; the first row is Bentley Continental GT and the second row is Porsche 911. The cars on the left side are the new models and the ones on the right are the old models. Did you notice a similarity between Bentley and Porsche? There is one thing in common! They both did not alter their design concept for the new models. As you know see, the new models looks exactly the same as the previous model. I do know that, there are many changes but, they don’t look that different like the BMW 3 Series. When you look at the 3 Series on the left and on the right. There is a serious and obvious design diversification.
I can assume one thing, Bentley and Porsche do not wish to look their loyal customers and they sustain this by sticking on the same design concept for the new models. So, they don’t look that different.

Bentley Continental GT V8

Smell of diesel, sorry I was going to write new twin-turbo V8 engine for Bentley Continental GT and GTC. Finally, Bentley revealed the information about the new V8 engine. It will be producing 507PS and 660nm of torque and also can switch of four cylinders to save fuel. And features 8-speed auto gearbox. The W12 model offers 575PS with 6-speed auto and this makes the W12 pointlessly expensive. I think, they will revise this engine soon or they are supposed to revise!
For diesel smell, as the Bentley changed the strategy and offers smaller engines. This story may end up with a diesel, which is supported by the rumours as well. I hope they won’t do this and focus on hybrid models for better fuel efficiency. 
And how to identify V8 Bentley? 
“The new V8 engine will be available in two models; the Continental GT and the Continental GTC. Expressing their potent, muscular character, these models are distinguished by a black gloss matrix grille with chrome frame and centre bar, a red enamel Bentley ‘B’ badge, and a black matrix three-segment lower front bumper divided by distinctive body-coloured strakes.”

The New Sound of Bentley

Bentley released footage for the new driving experience for next year. I have two suggestions for the new driving experience: First, Bentley will offer a new exhaust system that will sound like a Ferrari. Second, Bentley will offer the Audi based turbo charged V8 engine with new exhaust system. 
Based on the rumours, Bentley will offer this 520 PS turbo V8 in near future; based on the video this engine will sound more aggressive than the current models. I guess, relatively slow Bentley models will compensate the lack of power by a more aggressive exhaust system.
