No diesels for Bentley
Tuesday, August 26th, 2008Bentleys and buckets of torque go hand-in-hand. Therefore, it might make some sense for the German-owned British luxury marque to consider one of the VW Group’s big, powerful turbodiesels for one of its upcoming models. Not so fast, says Bentley . It has specifically polled its customer base - made up mostly of Americans and Asians - to determine if there’s any interest in an oil-burning Bentley. Apparently, there isn’t. Instead, the luxo-barge company will focus on biofuels in an effort to lower the fuel consumption and emissions of a numbers of its models.
