Review: Bentley Continental GT

For £30,000, you could walk in to most dealerships and drive out in a fast, new car. On the other hand, you could walk into Whitestone Garage and drive away in a 550bhp Bentley Continental GT supercar with change in your pocket!

But this supercar from Crewe offers more than just face numbing speed. Only the finest materials make their way inside the cabin; polished woods and silky-smooth leather adorn nearly every surface, so you’re never in any doubt about the quality of the car. With room for four to sit in the upmost luxury, how can you decline this opportunity not only for yourself, but your family too?

Boasting a 6.0-litre, twin-turbo W12 engine, air suspension and four-wheel drive, the Bentley Continental GT has features you come to expect from cars tipping the three hundred-thousand-pound mark. When debuted in 2003, just five years after Volkswagen had purchased the English manufacturer, they took more than 3,000 orders before a wheel had turned. This was the car to recoup some of Volkswagen’s investment and that it did!

The Bentley Continental GT certainly looked and sounded the part and its relatively spacious four-seat cabin meant that it wasn’t entirely out of the running for the young, moneyed family the car was partly aimed at. With a private plate fixed to the front, only the most hardened car expert will know the true age of the car. A timeless design paired with sublime mechanical underpinnings make Bentley Continental GT cars enjoyable for decades to come.

The amount you would pay for used Bentley Continental cars today wouldn’t even be able to stretch to a base model Audi S3, a car that will come with far less tech inside and heritage throughout. The Bentley boasts an engine that sounds excellent and performs just as well, an interior capable of soaking up motorway miles in a way that only a truly premium car can.
