For over 99 years, the design team at Bentley Motors Limited has continued to set the bar for what a luxury automobile can be. Each year, car enthusiasts around the world eagerly anticipate what the automaker can produce and—correspondingly—with each passing year, we continue to be impressed with what the company is able to release. Unsurprisingly, the new Bentley Continental GT is a beautifully sculpted work of art that serves as a testament to an automaker that already has among the highest expectations of any in the world.
As you can expect from Bentley, there is seemingly nothing missing in their most recent design. From the moment you lay eyes upon the vehicle, the aesthetical appeal, the unapologetic love of luxury, and the smoothness of her movement all become immediately apparent. If given the opportunity to look inside or under the hood, there is no doubt that you will continue to be impressed. Though vehicles that can demonstrate the quality that the Continental GT has been able to do are certainly rare, they are also the sort of vehicles that are sure to never be forgotten.
Refusing to Compromise on Performance
Though some luxury automakers tend to allow their obsession with luxury features to cause the neglect of the vehicle’s performance, Bentley—as it has continued to demonstrate time and time again—is a luxury automaker that refuses to compromise. Even when challenging some of the highest performing sports cars on the road, the Continental is still able to yield some truly impressive performance metrics.
Not only is the Continental capable of reaching 60 mph in just 3.6 seconds (100 km/h in 3.7 seconds), but the vehicle is also able to reach a top speed of 207 mph (333 km/h). Watching the Continental accelerate from a distance is truly a privilege for any automobile enthusiast, as is the joy of driving the car firsthand.
The inclusion of a dual-clutch, eight-speed transmission enables drivers to move more efficiently and also have a superior driving experience. The 6.0 liter W12 TSI engine is even further evidence of Bentley’s continuous willingness to invest in the best motor technology available on the open market.
