THE CONTINENTAL STORY Throughout history, there have been moments when a Bentley has altered our understanding of great motoring. From the companys earliest days, our cars set new standards in automotive design and engineering. They were icons of motoring. These cars took the Grand Touring rulebook and rewrote it. The beautiful R-Type Continental in the 1950s and the Continental GT at the start of the 21st century. A revolution in Grand Touring. At the start of a new decade we unveiled our masterpiece, the Continental GT. A stunning co up that blends classic Bentley DNA with contemporary design and modern technology. The perfect fusion of supercar performance and handcrafted luxury ensures the remarkable, the Continental GT creates a revolution of its own. Welcome to a new chapter in Bentley's automotive history.

THE SOUL OF THE CONTINENTAL GT IS BENTLEYS ACCLAIMED 12-CYLINDER, 6-LITRE POWER UNIT, NOW ENGINEERED TO PROVIDE GREATER SUPERCAR PERFORMANCE. With increases in power, torque and fuel efficiency; the Continental GTs engine is renowned as one of the most technologically advanced of its kind. Designed in a unique W configuration, it is the most compact 12-cylinder engine in the world. Capable of running on the latest environmentally sustainable bio-fuels thanks to its advanced FlexFuel technology, allowing it to run seamlessly on gasoline, bioethanol (E85) or any combination of the two. With a 40:60 (front:rear) split power ratio, the Continental GT feels even more poised for action and more controllable cornering. The Continental GT is even faster than its predecessor. With its power output raised to an immense 575 PS (567 bhp/423 kW) and 700 Nm (516 lb ft) of torque. In tandem with an 8-speed Quickshift transmission, gear change times are reduced by 50 per cent, it will launch from standstill to 60 mph in just 4.3 seconds and reach a top speed of 197 mph (318 km/h). Every single stitch in every leather hide is still sewn under the watchful eye of our craftsmen and women as it always has been - and in the Continental GT, the manner in which these stitching lines enhance the interior surfaces has been brilliantly emphasised. Thanks to the use of ingenious angled ramps behind the leather, our designers have been able to create sharp, well-defined interior styling lines, while maintaining a soft-touch feel.
