Bentley Continental GT

Bentley Continental GT
Bentley Continental GT is an amalgam of phenomenal power, exquisite performance, contemporary design and highest standards of handcraftsmanship. Bentley Continental GT is powered by 12-cylinder, 6-litre, twin-turbocharged engine. Unlike a conventional 12-cylinder engine with two banks of six, the Continental GT's 6-litre engine is configured in four banks of three cylinders in a W formation. This results in a shorter and much more compact unit which allows for significantly more interior space and improved dynamics.

Bentley Continental GT delivers a peak power of 552bhp (411kW) and a maximum torque of 650Nm at 1600rpm. Bentley Continental GT can attain a top speed of 198mph (318km/h). Bentley Continental GT has highest standards of safety and security features. Discrete braking, cornering and traction functions combine together to provide precise and immediate driving control under extreme or difficult conditions. For increased stability, the Continental GT is equipped with a discreet retractable aerofoil that deploys automatically at speed. Other safety and security features include laminated glazing, GPS tracking, multi-function alarm system featuring immobilisation, exterior and interior sensing, glass break and inclination sensing.
