How nice is the interior of the Continental GT?
Well, to put it simply – the interior of the car is absolutely stunning.
To be fair, you shouldn’t be surprised – especially when the Continental GT is built on luxury.
In recent years, Bentley’s investment has mostly gone into the fun stuff under the hood.
But then again, when you do luxury as well as Bentley, you don’t exactly need to change much.
Leather, wool, metal and wood are the four premium ingredients that create this perfect recipe.
As usual, one finds the chunky, yet comfortable, leather steering wheel typical of the brand.
Behind it, the dash display and touchscreen are spaciously laid out and organised.
Bentley uses Dinamica fabric on the seats, which holds you in place better.
How does the luxurious flagship look on the outside?
Robin Page currently serves as the Design Director of Bentley.
He is the man responsible for overseeing the design of the fourth-generation Continental GT.
And, it’s fair to say that Mr Page has done a truly excellent job crafting this one.
The newest Continental GT retains its iconic. grand-tourer silhouette.
However, it has been crafted with performance and aerodynamics in mind.
The front hood has a much more aggressive, sculpted design in order to facilitate airflow.
In addition, the rear of the newest Continental GT comes with flared wheel arches.
What Bentley has done is maintained the iconic style with a modern refresh.
And, we have to say, the marque has done a truly wonderful job crafting it.
Does the Bentley Continental GT perform on the road?
Despite not being a priority, the Continental GT is far from a slouch.
For example, if you take the top-of-the-range Continental GT Speed, then you’ll be impressed.
The Continental GT Speed will do 0-60 in just 3.2 seconds, with a top speed of 208mph.
It comes with the most powerful V8 engine in the range, combined with the hybrid powertrain.
If you’re worried about the standard offering, well… don’t be.
The standard Continental GT will still offer you a 0-60 time of around four seconds.
It will also give you a top speed around the range of 198mph.
There you have it – your A-Z guide on all things related to the Bentley Continental GT.
