2008 Bentley Continental GT

2008 Bentley Continental GT Model Overview

Vehicle Summary: 2008 Bentley Continental GT

The dramatically styled, high-performance Bentley Continental GT coupe is one of the quickest four-seat coupes in production, thanks to a powerful W12 engine. It is also replete with luxury amenities that swath occupants in complete comfort. Its styling is sleek yet stately, assuring owners the attention of onlookers and prime valet parking spots. Meanwhile, the Continental GT Speed version lives up to its name by being the first Bentley to be able to top 200 miles per hour, thanks to an upgraded 602-horsepower version of the W12. It also comes with suspension upgrades and other modifications to facilitate enthusiastic driving. A convertible version of the Continental GT is also offered as the Continental GTC.
