They are not my sort of car, but they are proper Rolls Royces.
rolls for me also, the modern bentlys seem to be a VAG parts bin excercise where as the rolls is designed engineered and built as a proper rolls royce( no parts bin sharing!! ) perhaps even more so than the rolls royce's that were offer'd by Vickers before hand.

oh yes, no parts bin sharing...except for the engines (both), the chassis (Ghost)...
not saying the Phantom is an excellent car.

I'll take mine in paper mache.

Or I'll have mine made out of an engine - "Yo dawg I heard you like engines so we made your bonnet an engine so you can drive while you drive."

Gentlemen, the Bentley Hunaudieres:

Engine: 8-litre, 64-valve, 16-cylinder aluminum "W16" (4 rows of 4)
Valvetrain: 4 valves / cylinder
Displacement: 8004 cc / 488.4 cu in
Power: 464.6 kw / 623.0 bhp @ 6000 rpm
Torque: 760.6 nm / 560.9 ft lbs @ 4000 rpm
hey, i can't help on thinking about this one.

since bentley and bugatti are owned by VW, is the engine from the bentley hunaudires the same as that found in the bugatti veyron? only without the turbos?

No, because while both were made out of two 15° V8', the Bentley has a 72° angle between the two engines, the Veyron has a 90° one.
Then I may have found the wrong sources.
