Farewell party
The mighty twelve-cylinder engines will not last long at Bentley. In April 2024, the English will put an end to the 6.0 W12, but not before that special power source is put in the spotlight. Bentley introduces special Speed Edition 12 versions of the Bentayga, Flying Spur and Continental GT. They all come with an extra W12.
Whoever says Bentley says W12. Although the brand also has V8s and even V6s in its hybrid models, the twelve-cylinder W-configuration appeals the most to the imagination. At the beginning of 2024 it will be over and out for that W12. With special versions of three models, Bentley pays homage to its mighty machine.

Bentley introduces Speed Edition 12-named versions for the Bentayga, Flying Spur and Continental GT. These festive versions are based on the Speed models and are decorated with – how could it be otherwise – Edition 12 badges. Bentley embroiders ‘Edition 12’ into the upholstery of the furniture and special stitching adorns the interior. On a beautiful piece of black wood in the dashboard, the English write out the firing order of the twelve cylinders. The British only build 120 copies of each Speed Edition 12. You can recognize them from the outside by the silver-colored brake calipers, 22-inch wheels and the new but optional color Opalite.
Bentley’s W12 on the real W12.
Every Speed Edition 12 comes with an extra W12, even if it is a 1:7 scale model. Nice for on the shelf or on the desk. The small W12s are made from the same aluminum as the real twelve-cylinder.
