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.
