A Refined Grand Tourer

Powerful and refined, Bentley’s pinnacle Grand Tourer created the modern, luxury Grand Tourer segment when first launched in 2003, blending spirited performance with cutting-edge technology and handcrafted elegance. The latest third generation model, a car that so impressed Auto Motor und Sport readers at the 47th edition of the magazine awards, today offers a unique breadth of touring ability.

With a handcrafted cabin that seamlessly integrates natural materials with advanced, driver-focused features, plus a choice of powerful yet refined V8 and W12 engines, the latest Continental GT is the most dynamic road car Bentley has ever built.
