The 2022 Bentley Continental GT is the perfect car for the summer due to its exhilarating performance, its unrivaled luxury and its convertible option.
A distinctive driving experience
The 2022 Bentley Continental GT is a favorite in the luxury segment due to its ability to blend relaxed comfort with surprisingly competent driving dynamics. Most of the time, the Continental GT is gliding down the road effortlessly while keeping you in complete comfort and silence, but when you wish to have some fun, it transforms into an athletic sports car. The adjustable air suspension firms up to make the handling tight and responsive and the powertrain unleashes all of its potential.
The Continental GT is offered with two powertrains that each have a distinct personality. The standard twin-turbocharged V8 found in the Continental GT V8 and the Mulliner delivers 542 horsepower and 770 newton-meters of torque, which powers the coupe to 60 mph (96 km/h) in only 3.9 seconds. This engine not only confers impressive performances to the Continental GT, its is also responsible for its agility and nimble feeling on twisty roads. The Continental GT Speed is equipped with the famous W12 engine which is a staple of Bentley’s performance-oriented models. Boosted by two turbochargers, this engine produces 650 horsepower and 900 newton-meters of torque, which accelerates the Coupe to 60 mph (96 km/h) in 3,5 seconds and towards a top speed of 208 mph (335 km/h).
Two configurations to choose from
The 2022 Bentley Continental GT is available in both a coupe and a convertible form, both of which have distinct advantages. The coupe is more of a traditional sports car since it displays similar lines as those of the classic Bentley models of yesteryear, but in a thoroughly modern way.
The convertible is a great grand-tourer since it allows you to enjoy both a nice relaxing cruise under the sun and a stretch of twisty roads where you can feel in complete control of a true performance car.
