Bentley Continental GT

“It’s stunningly gorgeous with an imperious road presence and lavishly beleathered interior; a unique blend of space, comfort, and blistering performance.” - Car and Driver Magazine

The Bentley Continental GT possesses an unassailable sense of gravitas. As you approach this beautiful coupe, nothing quite prepares you for the majestic grandeur of its shape or the lovely delineation of its lines. The Bentley GT is at once imposing and graceful with an air of destiny. Standing proud and majestic, it fires the imagination and exudes an unwavering confidence in its purpose. It commands respect whether in motion or at rest and is a clear testament to the remarkable power of a first impression.

The Bentley GT will forever change your perception of power and luxury. It is a grand touring time-machine that embodies the elegance of a bygone era within the scorching performance of a thoroughly modern supercar. The Bentley GT’s hand-assembled, twin-turbo 12-cylinder engine will launch the all-wheel drive 2½ ton colossus to 60 mph in less than 5 seconds and on to a physics-defying top-speed of just under 200 mph. Inside this magnificent machine, occupants are coddled in a sumptuous cabin that has the refinement of an English country manor drawing room; completely shielded from the mechanical mayhem taking place under the long bonnet. Every square inch of the Bentley’s interior is the very personification of the coachbuilder's art – acres of flawlessly stitched aromatic leather that caress the olfactory senses coupled with the visual delight of perfectly book-matched burled-wood trim that would make Thomas Chippendale proud.

The Bentley Continental GT is the epitome of opulence. It offers towering levels of prestige and performance that has few equals in the automotive realm. Here is how company founder Walter Owen Bentley described his automotive creation over 80 years ago: “while it would offer great comfort and unquestioned luxury as it went about its daily business, so also it would possess a thinly veiled ability to turn into something special at any moment”.

Quite so.
