High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The 8 Litre was the largest and most luxurious Bentley luxury car made prior to the purchase of the marque by Rolls-Royce. It used a massive 8 L (7983 cc/487 in³) straight-6 engine and rode on a long 144 in (3658 mm) or longer 156 in (3962 mm) wheelbase, making it the largest car produced in the United Kingdom up to that time.

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The 8 Litre was the largest and most luxurious Bentley luxury car made prior to the purchase of the marque by Rolls-Royce. It used a massive 8 L (7983 cc/487 in³) straight-6 engine and rode on a long 144 in (3658 mm) or longer 156 in (3962 mm) wheelbase, making it the largest car produced in the United Kingdom up to that time. The car was conceived similarly to the Bugatti Royale as a halo car to vault the maker into position as the supreme maker of luxury cars in the world. However, like the Bugatti, the 8 Litre Bentley failed to sell in sufficient numbers to make a profit. Launched at the 1930 London Olympia Motor Show in October of 1930, just as the great depression hit Europe, the chassis was priced at Pds. 1,850, making it an exclusive and pricey vehicle. The six-cylinder engine used a one- piece iron block and cylinder head with a crankcase made from an exotic Magnesium alloy called Elektron. The cylinder head featured Four valves per cylinder, as well as twin-spark ignition; both were state-of- the-art at the time. The bore was 110 mm (4.3 in) and the stroke was 140 mm (5.5 in).
