GT V8 performance intentionally underrated?

Hi guys,

Now some car experts are saying Bentley may be intentionally underrating new V8's performance in order to differentiate and position V8 under W12 model. They say V8's 0 to 60 is actually the same or even quicker than W12, and top speed is almost equal. Actually there are some testing video clips on YouTube for this claim.

It might be true..? What do you think?

i don't know. i am not racing, so it's really doesn't matter if the car is fraction of a second or slower. the v8 gt is nice, also the price is about the same (slightly less). anyone who can buy a v8 can easily pony up and buy a w12. what the heck, i was thinking the v8 was gonna be 155-165k. oh well.

I heard rumor that the V8 was over-tuned to get that performance.?????
