Bentley Continental GT 6.0 DSG Specs — Third Generation
A long trip in the Bentley Continental GT 6.0 DSG raises the same practical questions as any other: what to pack, how to share the driving, and where the breaks will fall.

The highest speed a vehicle can sustain under manufacturer test conditions. Some cars are electronically limited below their mechanical potential. Glossary entry
333 km/h
Engine type
Gasoline
Transmission
Robotic
Type of boost?
A turbocharger or supercharger compresses the air entering the engine so a smaller engine can produce more power. Naturally aspirated engines draw air without a compressor. Glossary entry
Turbo
Type of drive?
Which wheels receive power: front-wheel drive, rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. All-wheel drive can send power to every wheel for extra traction. Glossary entry
AWD
Bore and stroke?
The diameter of a cylinder (bore) and the distance the piston travels inside it (stroke). Together they determine the displacement of the engine. Glossary entry
84 × 89.5 mm
Engine capacity?
The total volume swept by all pistons inside the cylinders, usually stated in cubic centimetres or litres. Larger displacement often means more power but higher consumption. Glossary entry
5950 cm³
Engine location
Front, longitudinal
Number of gears?
How many fixed forward ratios a gearbox offers. More gears can improve economy and refinement; continuously variable transmissions have no fixed steps. Glossary entry
8
Maximum power?
A unit of engine or motor output. One metric horsepower is about 0.735 kilowatts. Peak power is normally reached at high engine speed. Glossary entry
635 hp
Maximum power, kw?
A unit of engine or motor output. One metric horsepower is about 0.735 kilowatts. Peak power is normally reached at high engine speed. Glossary entry
467 kW
Compression ratio?
The ratio between the largest and smallest volume of a cylinder as the piston moves. Higher ratios improve efficiency but may require higher-octane fuel. Glossary entry
10.5
Maximum power rpm
6000 rpm
Maximum torque N⋅m
900 N⋅m
Maximum torque rpm
1350 – 4500 rpm
Acceleration to 100?
The time a vehicle needs to reach 100 km/h from a standstill, a common shorthand for overall performance. Glossary entry
3.7 s
Engine power system
Combined injection (direct-distributed)
Number of cylinders
12
Valves per cylinder?
The number of intake and exhaust valves in each cylinder. Four valves per cylinder is common and helps the engine breathe at higher speeds. Glossary entry

Engine and Transmission
On a long route, most of the driving is steady cruising broken by occasional overtakes and motorway junctions. What drivers usually value there is predictability: knowing roughly how the car will respond to the accelerator, so speed changes can be planned rather than improvised.
Drivetrain and Everyday Driving
Familiarity with the controls means adjusting temperature, volume or mirrors without thinking about it. On unfamiliar roads that habit is useful, because attention spent locating a switch is attention taken from the traffic ahead. Most people build it within the first few journeys.
Body and Practicality
Luggage is easier to manage when heavy items go in first and low down, leaving softer bags to fill the space above. Packing in the order things will be needed also saves unloading the whole luggage area at an overnight stop.
