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 flagship Continental GT gets Bentley's iconic W12 engine, and it's a real powerhouse, producing a whopping 650bhp and 664lb ft of torque. It doesn’t sound particularly evocative, though, even with a more sonorous exhaust fitted.
