Buyer's notes

Target Price team says:

Buyers have two flavours of Bentley Continental GT to choose from. Many of the car’s well-heeled buyers will insist on having the range-topping W12 version, which comes with a ferocious 6.0-litre engine. However, we’d recommend opting for the twin-turbocharged, direct-injection V8 model. It’s hardly any slower than the W12-powered car, but it costs much less to buy and run. The fact remains, though, that only the super-rich will be able to afford the V8.

Both versions come with a whole bunch of luxury equipment, although the W12 does get slightly more than the V8. Bentley will also fit pretty much any item of luxury equipment at the buyer’s request – for a handsome fee, naturally.
