Bentley recently announced that its Continental range of sedan, coupe, and convertible will only be marketed as flex-fuel-only cars by June 2010. This move is to meet the goal of the company to reduce the carbon dioxide emission of their fleet by as much as 15% by 2012.
The range of Continentals will get the flex-fuel variant of Bentley’s W-12 6.0L engine. It will only be the powerplant that will be offered for the range. The engine can operate using gasoline, bioethanol E85, or a any proportions of the mix of bioethanol and gasoline.
The 2011 Supersports Convertible from the Continental range which was unveiled during the recent Geneva Motor Show is also flex-fuel capable. The Supersports convertible is claimed to be the fastest convertible the brand has ever produced.
