Additional Notes

  • The Bentley Continental GT V8 carries a cooling system capacity of 15.9 liters, which is notably larger than the W12 variants at 14.8 liters, despite the V8 being the smaller displacement engine.
  • Both the Continental GT W12 and the Continental GT W12 Speed share an identical cooling system capacity of 14.8 liters, indicating no meaningful thermal management difference between the standard and Speed configurations at the coolant volume level.
  • All three configurations — the V8, W12, and W12 Speed — share the same service interval of 32,000 km or 24 months under normal use conditions, whichever comes first.
  • The V8 variant carries a starting year of 2019, while the W12 carries a starting year of 2018, meaning the W12 predates the V8 in the Continental GT 3S generation by at least one model year.
  • The W12 Speed carries a starting year of 2020, making it the most recent introduction among the three configurations listed in the specifications.
  • A coolant capacity of 14.8 to 15.9 liters falls within the range typical of high-displacement, high-performance engines where thermal loads demand larger fluid volumes to maintain stable operating temperatures.
