The Bentley Continental GT is a fine grand tourer that gets the balance between sports car and luxury car just about spot on. We’d take ours in "entry-level" V8 form over the flagship W12 model due to its more characterful soundtrack and sharper handling.

The 'entry-level' Continental GT comes with a 542bhp 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 that is capable of propelling the car from 0-60mph in just 3.9 seconds. It makes a deeper, more bassy bellow than the W12, which is only 0.3sec quicker from 0-60.
