The new Bentley Continental GT has to be an exceptional car in order to improve on its predecessor. For over a decade, the GT in its many variations has become an iconic car that has re-established Bentley on the manufacturer top table.
The new GT has a sleeker, more elegant body shape, more sports car than grand tourer. Its bonnet has an abundance of Bentley charisma, while the rear end is totally redesigned and futuristic. Internally, the GT is simply beautiful. The sporty steering wheel has been taken from its Bentayga big brother and everything else is new. The leather seating, the wooden finishes, the disco style lighting and all the high chrome finishes are everything a Bentley owner would expect.
The drive is a combination of supercar and luxury. It has instant power that can be called upon, while the Sat Nav, telecommunications and media systems by Bang and Olufsen are all five-star. Finally, part of buying a high-end prestige brand is the quality of the service received from the dealership (which in this instance was Bentley Birmingham).
