Bentley's 6.75-liter V8 is British motoring royalty

You're looking at one of the last examples of Bentley's legendary 6.75-liter V8 engines. Production ceased in June after 61 years of continuous V8 production.

Thanks, Graham. 

Power in this final twin-turbo spec is given as 505 horsepower and a scarcely believable 752 pound-feet of torque.

That's a ton of power, but then again, the 2020 Bentley Mulsanne Speed that this engine powers weighs 3 tons.

Ever notice how most hood releases feel flimsy and imprecise? Not the Mulsanne's. This is a solid hunk of cold metal that operates with purpose and a sense of occasion.

Most engine bays don't look like much anymore today, but the 2020 Mulsanne Speed's is beautiful -- both mechanical and substantial.

The engine looks like it's mounted in a shadowbox.

In case you forgot what you were driving.

This engine is a thing of beauty.
