2021 Bentley Continental GT (full review)

Luxury, elegance, and style are never in short supply when you’re sitting in a Bentley Continental GT, a car that blends the sporting intentions of something like a Maserati Gran Turismo with the luxury of a Rolls-Royce Wraith. It’s available in two configurations, the first of which boasts a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 producing 542 horsepower and 568 lb-ft of torque. The second option swaps out the V8 for a monstrous 6.0-liter twin-turbocharged W12 engine generating 626 hp and 664 lb-ft of torque, but both come with an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic and all-wheel-drive. This makes for a supremely powerful yet absolutely effortless drive, but in a world where top-speed records and Nurburgring lap times dominate the headlines, is there still a place for the sporty but heavy Bentley? And if these performance benchmarks mean little to you, should those obsessed with luxury rather stick with a Rolls?

If you want the fastest and most powerful Bentley Continental GT coupe, you’re gonna be ticking the W12 box. A 6.0-liter twin-turbo W12 engine sits under the hood and sends an astonishing 626 hp and 664 lb-ft of torque to all four wheels via an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. This allows the big brute to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.6 seconds, with top speed only arriving at 207 mph. In a car that weighs almost 5,000 lbs, that’s incredible. The V8 version isn’t far behind though. Its 4.0-liter twin-turbo engine produces 542 hp and 568 lb-ft of torque, and although this is considerably less than the range-topper, the GT V8 can still do the 0-60 mph sprint in just 3.9 seconds. Top speed on this model is rated at 198 mph, although we suspect that it has been limited to this figure just so that W12 owners could have bragging rights. Both models accelerate strongly and feel like they have a lot more to give, but the Bentley USP is the way it delivers power. The GT feels both strong and restrained regardless of configuration, making it the ideal long-distance luxury grand tourer.

2021 bentley continental GT Interior.

As stunning as the classically styled bodywork is, the interior of a Bentley Continental GT is simply fantastic. There’s stunning wood everywhere, swathes of leather in every direction, and superb metal details in just the right quantities. There is a digital driver display and a similar 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment display that can be made to rotate and hide out of sight too. The steering wheel is heated as standard too, and there are upgrades like massaging and ventilated seats available. As you can imagine, there’s plenty of comfort and space for those up front, but the rear is a little cramped for adults. Still, that’s to be expected, and the cabin feels truly special.

The Bentley Continental GT has enough space for four, provided that half of the occupants are not of legal driving age. The rear seats are typically difficult to climb into as an adult, and once seated, you’ll find a shortage of headroom and legroom. This is a car for the driver and his or her companion. 12-way heated, power-adjustable seats are fitted up front as standard, but the available massaging and ventilated seats give you even more range of adjustment. Regardless of what seats are chosen, the front is spacious, comfortable, and supportive. The driving position is good too, and visibility in most directions (besides your blind spots) is great.

As you’d expect when you’re spending six figures on a luxury sportscar, there are plenty of standard features included with your purchase. The Conti GT in either configuration comes with dual-zone automatic climate control, remote keyless entry, parking sensors, a rearview camera, soft-close doors, and a power trunk lid. You also get rain-sensing wipers, heated power-adjustable front seats, and LED Matrix adaptive headlights. Options include ventilated and massaging front seats, heated steering wheel, adaptive cruise control with traffic sign recognition, wireless charging, pedestrian detection, rear cross-traffic alert, lane keep assist, night vision camera, surround-view camera, heated windshield, hands-free trunk, head-up display, and a panoramic glass roof.

The infotainment system in the Bentley Continental GT follows the trend that so many others have, with a 12.3-inch touchscreen display acting as the interface between you and your media. It looks good and is easy enough to operate, but we do feel that it could look a touch more extravagant for a car of this price instead of using relatively generic graphics.
