Continental GT A

The Continental GT A makes a sophisticated statement on arrival, with a bright chrome, vertical-vaned radiator grille sitting above matt black lower bumper grilles. ‘A’ badges on the front fenders identify the car, while the bright machined finish and subtle, grey painted pockets between the spokes of the 21” 10-spoke wheels add an undeniable air of refinement.

Inside, ‘A’ badging can be seen on the treadplates and the fascia, not to mention the embroidered ‘A’ emblem on each seat. The fluted leather upholstery can be commissioned in your choice of hide colour – and it can be optionally upgraded to Harmony Diamond Quilt, a sumptuous stitching and quilting pattern developed especially for Bentley’s more luxury-focused models.

Sustainable materials have been used where possible, from the 50/50 wool mix used for the headliner on the cabin’s ceiling to the carpets and deep pile overmats at your feet. And by day, everything is bathed in glorious natural light, thanks to a generous panoramic glass roof.
  

Start the car and you will be treated to a rich, low roar – an early hint at the capabilities of its advanced 4.0 litre V8 engine.

It can deliver 542 bhp (550 PS), taking you from 0-60 mph in 3.9 seconds (0-100 km/h in 4.0 seconds) and on to a maximum speed of 198 mph (318 km/h)*. Refined it may be, but this is a car that was built for the open road.

There are four driving modes to choose from. Comfort and Sport allow you to prioritise refinement or exhilaration respectively, while Bentley mode provides a balance between the two. Custom allows you to define your own combination of suspension, gearbox and engine settings.

Active all-wheel drive is included as standard, for enhanced safety and all-round driving confidence. You also have the option to add the Bentley Dynamic Ride anti-roll system and four-wheel steering. The former improves stability when the car is cornering – yet because it can adjust its stiffness automatically, there is no compromise on ride comfort at other times. Four-wheel steering gives the car a smaller turning circle and greater manouevrability when driving slowly, and when turning at higher speeds – changing lanes on the highway, for example – it helps avoid body roll.

Given the capabilities of this incredible car, you may wish to add carbon ceramic brakes, for extra stopping power. But that assumes you will ever want to stop.
