The Bentley Continental GT was redesigned for the 2019 model year and is currently in its third generation. Like the previous model, the new Continental GT has two engine options: a twin-turbo V8 and a twin-turbo W12. Its 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 produces 542 horsepower and 568 lb-ft of torque, while its 6.0-liter twin-turbo W12 produces 626 horsepower and 664 lb-ft of torque. 0 to 60 mph occurs in 3.4 seconds for the V8 model and 3.3 seconds for the W12 model, carrying a top speed of 207 mph. Both V8 and V12 Continental GT models come standard with all-wheel drive and an eight-speed dual clutch. Every Bentley model that offers both a V8 and V12 are designated by the color of the center of their Flying B logos; W12 models have black Flying B's while V8 models have red Flying B's. As you would expect from a Bentley, the interior of the current Continental GT is top notch, covered in the finest leather and wood trim. Its backseats aren't very spacious, but there is plenty of room in the trunk for luggage and other cargo. The current Continental GT also has a standard 12.3-inch infotainment display with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, which can rotate between a traditional display of three analog gauges showing the time, the air temperature outside, and a compass. In addition, like most new luxury vehicles, the new Continental GT contains a digital gauge cluster configured by buttons on the steering wheel. Pricing for the third-gen Bentley Continental GT starts at $207,825 for the V8 models and $224,225 for the W12 models. All in all, the Continental GT is my favorite car to wear the Flying B, and it looks sleeker, more comfortable, and better than ever before.
