Packard engines in new Bentleys?

I don't know how I missed this important bit of info, and I already knew Rolls-Royce paid Packard for the rights to use the Saf-T-Flex suspension, but twice now - in 2 different publications on reports on the new Bentley they mention it's engine design is from a mid 50's V-8 Packard. This is news to me! And I though I knew alot about Packards. Anybody else knew about this, or is it me with a box over my head all this time?

BTW- It's now bored out to 400 cu. inches with 530 hp and 774 ft. lbs of torque - with, I may add twin turbos. I believe if Packard were making cars today they'd get that power without turbos !!!
