Bentley has introduced a titanium sports exhaust system, developed in collaboration with Akrapovič, for the Continental GT, GT Convertible, and Flying Spur models. This system results in a 22-pound weight reduction while enhancing performance, creating a more visceral experience for drivers. It features valve-actuated bypasses that change the exhaust sound in Sport mode, producing low-frequency growls and high-pitched tones as revs increase. The titanium construction not only improves weight but also offers durability and heat resistance, aligning with Bentley's focus on performance and refinement across fourth-generation models with hybrid powertrains.
The Akrapovič system changes Bentley's V8 powerplants through precision acoustic engineering. Valve-actuated bypasses open in Sport mode, unleashing a full-throated rasp under acceleration and distinctive burbles during deceleration.
The titanium construction serves multiple purposes beyond weight savings. Akrapovič manufactures complex components at their in-house titanium foundry, ensuring consistent quality and heat resistance.
