Bentley Continental GT- Re-Mapped To 650 bhp?

[Chad_Hugo]

I came a car on auto trader recently, owners claims it has been re-mapped to 650 bhp, no other modifications just a ecu re-mapped no other upgrades to intake or exhaust.

I think the standard bhp is 552, and torque is 479 lbs/ft.

Is 650 realistic without any further mechanical modifications? That's 90+ bhp extra.

And how safe would that be in regards to the drivetrain, would the car's realibility suffer significantly? Could potentialy be a lot of extra stress for the major components.

Not interested in buying right now, but the continetal GT is a car I'd like to own at some stage so I'm curious to know current or ex owners thoughts.

Has anyone had their continental gt mapped?

Seem odd to do this without the exhaust as they recommend here.

Thanks for the link.

I may be wrong about the exhaust, but there was no mention of it at all, and a thread I found on an american forum where a Chicago based company had re-mapped a CGT with very similar gains also did not modify exhaust so I am assuming it has not been done.

Given the performance gains for other re-mapped turbo charged VAG motors, a gain of ~20% is in the right range.

My only concern would be the effect on any warranty in place on the car and I'd opt for one of the newer mapping tools, like Bluefin, where you can apply and remove the modified map at will

The link below, would suggest that it can be done, without changing the exhaust
