Bentley Motors plans to end production of its 12-cylinder engine next April as the famed luxury carmaker transitions to electric vehicles.
The British automaker of ultra-luxury performance cars said the milestone would be celebrated with the most powerful version of the W12 engine ever created.A staff member checks a Bentayga SUV on the Bentley production line at their factory in Crewe, Britain, December 7, 2022.
"The time has come to retire this now-iconic powertrain as we take strides toward electrification," Bentley Chairman and CEO Adrian Hallmark said in a release. Production of the W12 engine will be replaced with expanded assembly of V8 and V6 hybrid engines, according to the company. Bentley says it has produced more than 100,000 of the W12 engines since the assembly began in 2003.
