2006 Bentley Continental GT

Vehicle Summary: 2006 Bentley Continental GT

This coupe is the Bentley for a new generation: half the cost of the Arnage with a new look and new technology, including a 552-hp W12 engine. It's a more practical and comfortable alternative to similarly priced exotic sports cars from Aston Martin, Ferrari and Maserati. A limited-production Diamond Series has been added for 2006, with only 400 scheduled for production.
