What’s New?
Similar to the new Flying Spur, the Continental GT added a new S trim in the Coupe and Convertible models for the 2023 lineup. The special trim offers a blacked-out interior and a more bold appearance topped with a new sports exhaust and new wheels. While we love to see the new S trim in the more powerful speed model, it is reserved for the V8 only.
Engine Specifications & Performance
Under the hood lies two powerful sets of powertrain options similar to most Bentley cars to provide a pleasurable ride with a lot of power. The base variant comes with a 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine that produces over 542 horsepower. The more expensive model offers a powerful 6.0-liter twin-turbocharged W12 engine that makes a hefty 626 hp and 664 lb-ft of torque. The most expensive Speed model produces a hefty 650 horsepower with the same twin-turbo W12 engine. Both V8 and W12-powered models offer a ferocious acceleration that can go from 0-60 mph in 3.4 and 3.1 seconds.
Apart from the rapid quickness, the car can reach a top speed of over 190 mph that can be increased to over 208 mph. Having a Bentley means experiencing the best comfort with an endless power supply at your disposal. Just as said, the Continental GT offers a surreal performance with superior handling and provides a silky-smooth drive. Both engine options manage to deliver a great throttle response with supreme levels of refinement. Blended with a prestigious cabin inside filled with luxury materials, the car makes sure you never run out of comfort at any point. The Continental GT offers two rear seats but we all know how that works.
