| View all reviews for Bentley Cars | | Discuss Bentley Continental GT | The Bentley Continental GT is a grand tourer coupé with two doors and a 2+2 seating arrangement, released in 2003, replacing the previous Rolls-Royce-based Continental R and T.
It is equipped with a 6.0L, twin-turbocharged W12 engine, producing 552 hp (412 kW), with a top speed of 198 mph (319 km/h). The car is designed by Belgian designer, Dirk van Braeckel. The Continental GT is built on the Volkswagen Group D1 platform. Largely, it could be considered a rebadged Volkswagen Phaeton, with a different styling and a more powerful engine, most of the technical components being identical to those on the Phaeton.
A coupé worthy of the GT name. The classic Grand Tourer. A contemporary reinterpretation of everything gone before. Inspired by the grace and power of Bentley’s thoroughbred bloodline, the Continental GT combines phenomenal power, incomparable refinement and class-leading performance. Muscular lines creating understated style, contemporary design with handcraftsmanship in true Crewe tradition. The past accelerating into the future. Power that doesn’t compromise space. Handling that doesn’t compromise comfort. Technology that doesn’t compromise handcraftsmanship. Above all, true Grand Touring performance complemented by the luxury of Bentley legend.
A host of engine and transmission enhancements have been introduced on the Continental GT to enhance both the refinement and efficiency of this high technology engine. Including a more efficient catalyst and exhaust system for improved emissions and a new engine management system and faster response cam sensor. The new upright front grille and wider central air intake provides improved airflow to aid engine cooling. All of these enhancements help provide an improved driving experience.
