Bentley Continental GT Review

Bentley Continental GT Review has now racked up 50, 000 samples of its modern Continental. And it really has been less when compared to a decade coming. You wonder whether ‘Walter Owen’ would have envisaged such popularity to the marque that bears his name, 90-odd years back – either in her wildest or perhaps most troubling dreams. Remember the ‘Continental’ moniker used to become applied internally to any model that were taken to mainland Europe by WO himself, and tested at high speed there. The very first official Continental was the 1952 R-type coupé. The name was applied on updated versions of the car with the later 1950s and 1960s, and subsequently applied to Rolls Corniche-based coupés and convertibles from the late 1980s and 1990s.

 Matt Saunders Deputy road test editor The Bentley GT loses none of their charm and desirability to its VW Group rootsThere’s little question, though, the most recent incarnation has done more for Bentley’s bank accounts than any one of its predecessors. So 2011 was about time the Continental GT coupé, bedrock from the company’s sales figures, experienced a facelift. The 2011 model wasn't an all-new car, although Crewe would like one to believe It‘s. The generously proportioned two-plus-two is put on the diet, given a styling massage inside and out, and had some telling mechanical updates, chief among that was the introduction of the V8 option being an alternative towards the continuing W12 variant.
