Bentley will build W12 engines for Audi, VW

Bentley will build Volkswagen Group’s W12 engines for sister brands Volkswagen and Audi starting next year, creating about 100 jobs for its England factory and ending production of the engines in Germany.

Bentley, which was bought by VW in 1998, will make its factory in Crewe, northwest England, a ”center of excellence” for W12 engines, which are used in Bentley models, Audi’s flagship A8 sedan and the VW Phaeton.
