Bentley Continental GT/C (2012-)











Right above is the second-gen Bentley Continental GT/C, which is my favorite model in Bentley's current lineup and one of the best Flying B's ever produced. Engine options range from a 4.0-liter turbocharged V8 with around 500 horsepower and 487 foot-pounds of torque to a 6.0-liter naturally-aspirated W12 with 567-616 horsepower and 516-590 foot-pounds of torque. It can reach 60 mph in the four-second range, onto a top speed 188 mph (V8 models), 198 mph (base W12), and 205 mph (Speed). Power is sent to all four wheels via an eight-speed automatic. V8 models are distinguished from the W12 models physically by a red Flying B badge. The interior is like that of a typical Bentley: high-quality, refined, classy, and comfy.This is an amazing car; however, I'd probably consider a Rolls-Royce Wraith before a Continental GT.
