The Bentley Continental GT Was First Showcased To The World At The 2003 Geneva Motor Show, With A Further Unveiling At The 2003 Goodwood Festival of Speed And Was To Be A Completely New And Radical Offering From The Bentley Factory In Crewe, Compared To Its Fabulous Predecessor. Bentley Under The Ownership Of Audi Gave Those Wealthy Buyers The Ultimate Of Driving Experiences, Offering Those Rich & Famous Clients From Around The World, First Class Motoring, With World Class Hand Build Attention To Detail, Offering The Highest Of Standards Of Elegance And Design, Which All Made This One Of The Most Successful Models Of This Prestigious Brand To Have The Bentley Motif. The Bentley Continental GT Coupe Was Designed By Raul Pires And Dirk van Braeckel, With The Exterior Body To Have A More Sculptured And Less Angular Appearance Seen From The Second Generation Continental, But Still Had Signature Bentley Detailing That Had Been Demonstrated For So Many Years From This High End Car Manufacturer. The Interior On Design Would Follow The Same Suit From The Exterior, With Clients Having Numerous Options On Hide Colours, Hand Polished Veneers And Turned Metal Detail, Allowing Those Valued Buyers To Literally Design Their Own Very Statement, Which Could Only Be Adored By Other Slightly Envious Road Users. In 2010 At The Paris Motor Show, The Second Generation Bentley GT Continental Was Showcased To The Worlds Motoring Press With The Exterior Having Slightly Smoother Body Lines, Even More Relevant World Class Leading Technology And More Powerful Engine Options To Include The Mighty Speed Packaged Version. The 2012 Model Year Speed Was Fitted From Factory With The Six Litre W12 Twinned Turbo Charged Powerhouse, With These Remarkable Cars Would Generating A Massive 626 Brake Horse Power With Torque Reading Of 605lb ft, Which Would Easily Accelerate Both Driver And Three Passengers From 0-62 MPH In An Astonishing 4.2 Seconds And Would Further Glide To A Truly Remarkable Top Speed Of 206 MPH, With All This Power Effortlessly Controlled By The 8 Speed ZF Automatic Transmission And The All Wheel Drive System. The Biggest Noticeable Difference Between The Regular W12 Model And The GT Speed Comes When You Slide The Gear Lever From Drive To Sport, With This Sport Feature Sharpening The Throttle Responses, Which In Turn Forces The Box To Hold Onto The Gears Longer, Which Makes The Deep Exhaust Note Much Louder, A Noise Completely Addictive. These Big Luxurious English Monsters Also Sat 10mm Lower With Stiffened Springs And Updated Anti-roll Bars, Which Did Not Detract From The Expected Smooth Ride That Had Been Renowned For Many Years, But Now Also Made The Speed An All Out Super Car, Capable Of Going Head To Head With The Likes Of Ferrari, Porsche & Lamborghini.
