2020 Bentley Continental GT V8

Glamorous British high-performance grand tourers have always possessed a certain allure.

This appeal becomes even more pronounced when the vehicle in question happens to bear the Bentley insignia. From the early 20th century to the present day, the esteemed British brand has consistently represented a fusion of lofty luxury and unbridled power.

While many of its contemporaries at the time focused on achieving a favourable power-to-weight ratio and on-track agility through lightweight construction, Bentley remained steadfast in its belief that there was no substitute for engine capacity. It is little wonder, then, that Bentley's rival, Ettore Bugatti, once famously described the Blower Bentley as the "fastest lorry on wheels."

In contrast to numerous other luxury marques that once reigned supreme in the early 1900s, Bentley not only endures today but prospers, albeit under the ownership of the German Volkswagen group. The present-day Bentley range encompasses GTs, Saloons, Convertibles, and SUVs, all available with V8, W12, and even Hybrid powertrains. Over the past two decades, the brand has expanded significantly, amassing a devoted following of Bentley enthusiasts.

We are delighted to introduce this stunning Continental GT V8 Coupé, resplendent in Portofino Blue with an exquisite Linen and Imprerial Blue leather interior adorned with meticulous diamond stitching. The Continental GT's striking physique exudes a commanding presence that harmonises seamlessly with its awe-inspiring performance, enveloping its occupants in a cocoon of plush luxury that speaks an unmistakably British design language. Weighing in at nearly 2.3 tonnes – a weight akin to many full-size, off-road 4WD vehicles – it unequivocally embodies the epitome of refined muscularity.

Behind the wheel, the driving experience is akin to an iron fist shrouded in a velvet glove. Acceleration is nothing short of exhilarating, steering and handling are precise and responsive, and the prodigious braking power instils the driver with the confidence to push the boundaries. This formidable performance is presented with the same sophistication as a tailor-made Savile Row suit.

This exceptional Bentley boasts an array of impressive options and features, including:

• Centenary Edition (a tribute to Bentley's 100-year anniversary)
• A twin-turbocharged 4.0L V8 engine
• An 8-speed Porsche PDK dual-clutch automatic transmission.
