I have no moving experience with any Bentley Continental. I'll take your word for it, makes throaty sense. I have heard that the W12 handles better than the V8 because the suspension & set-up was designed for the heavier motor & the V8 feels light. I can't imagine that some aftermarket adjustment/parts substitution to accommodate a lighter engine couldn't remedy that. If true, why spend big bucks, or pounds, on something you have to fix right off the production line. Might be old news.
