Bentley Continental GT
The Bentley Continental GT was the company's first new car of the twenty-first century, as well as their first Grand Tourer model of the new millennium. It debuted at the Geneva Motor Show in 2003. It was an improvement over the previous Continental R and Continental T models since it was designed for the mass market.
Despite the fact that it was designed for a much wider audience, it is still handcrafted and features the same level of quality and care as higher-end Bentley models, as well as the same comfortable, luxurious interiors.
It's also one of Bentley's fastest versions, with a 6.0-liter W12 engine producing 553 horsepower. This allows it to accelerate from zero to sixty miles per hour in 4.9 seconds and from zero to one hundred miles per hour in 11.4 seconds, with maximum speeds of 197 miles per hour. The Continental GT is one high-performance car you won't forget in a hurry, thanks to its cutting-edge architecture, engineering, and performance.
Cool Facts About the Bentley Continental GT
Prince's Baby Blue Beauty
One of the most iconic Bentley Continental GT owners was none other than Prince, the legendary musician. Prince owned a rare 2006 Baby Blue model, a stunning testament to his love for unique and luxurious designs. After his passing in 2016, this one-of-a-kind Bentley became part of his legacy. It now sits on display at Paisley Park Studios in Chanhassen, Minnesota, where fans can marvel at its elegant curves and connection to the Purple One.
World Speed Record on Ice
In March 2007, Finnish rally legend Juha Kankkunen took the Bentley Continental GT to the frozen Baltic Sea near Oulu, Finland, to rewrite the record books. Behind the wheel of a modified Continental GT, Kankkunen smashed the World Speed Record on Ice, clocking an eye-watering 205.67 mph. The feat showcased the car's exceptional engineering and its ability to dominate even the most extreme environments.
A W12 Powerhouse
The heart of the Bentley Continental GT is its incredible W12 engine, a 6.0-liter marvel of engineering. With twin turbochargers, this engine delivers a jaw-dropping blend of power and smoothness, producing over 600 horsepower in recent models. It's the kind of powertrain that can launch you from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.5 seconds - luxury and adrenaline in one irresistible package.
Craftsmanship Fit for Royalty
Each Continental GT takes around 110 hours to build, and much of that time is spent on the interior, which is a masterpiece of bespoke luxury. Bentley artisans carefully select and hand-stitch over 300 pieces of leather, and you can even opt for custom finishes, such as wood sourced from trees that are over 300 years old.
Mulliner Magic
The Mulliner division of Bentley takes customisation to another level. Want your initials embroidered into the seats? A champagne cooler built into the rear armrest? Or perhaps a dashboard crafted from meteorite stone? With Mulliner, almost anything is possible, making each Continental GT truly one of a kind.
