The Bentley Continental GT is about the most capable GT on sale, plus few modern cars are more opulent and cosseting with their own unique appeal -
It’s as esoteric as any Bentley GT, which is either a good thing or a bad thing depending on your point of viewand W12 powertrains available in various specifications. The 542bhp V8 model is available exclusively on the ‘base’ GT and new-for-2023 GT S, as well as the flagship Mulliner. There’s also an Azure specification, which offers a few very subtle bespoke touches, but little else.
The W12 can only be specified in the Speed and Mulliner models with identical 650bhp power figures; the 626bhp base GT W12 that was available at launch is now no longer an option, and all variants are available as both coupe and open-top Convertible body styles. There’s also a range of different option packages that cover aesthetic or technology upgrades. If the chrome brightwork is too strong you can spec the Blackline option, and for those wanting additional carbonfibre there’s the ‘Styling Specification’. For those wanting a little more opulence inside the cabin there’s also the ‘Knurled Specification’.
The Continental GT’s most obvious rival is the Aston Martin DB11. It, too, is available with a choice of engines - V8 and V12 - and in coupe and convertible forms, but makes do with a more condensed model range. It’s also more of a 2+2, with limited space inside compared to the more commodious Bentley. The DBS is a considerably more powerful and focused competitor, but is also priced well above even the most opulent Continental GTs.
