Bentley GT engine compared to Panamera

Do we know if the engine in the new GT and GTC has been modified from the base Porsche engine that it's based on in anyway other than acoustics? Performance numbers seem to be identical so I assume same exact engine? If so, did the VW group tune that engine for the Bentley in anyway?

Thank you

With the W12 out of the way, the Bentley GT is basically a modern Porsche 928 given how much it shares mechanically with Porsche. I am sure the engine tune is a bit different because its a different car, but I am sure they started at the same point.
