Why We Picked It:

The Continental GT coupé and the GTC convertible versions of the Bentley Continental V8, which feature a 4.0-liter, twin-turbocharged V8 engine, set new benchmarks in the high-luxury sports vehicle segment for power-to-emissions.

Exciting performance and effortless power delivery are hallmarks of the new Bentley V8 engine, which produces a maximum of 500 horsepower and an outstanding peak torque of 487 pound-feet across the entire rpm range. When paired with the latest generation of close-ratio 8-speed automatic transmission, this results in a 0-60 mph sprint time of less than 5 seconds and a top speed of more than 180 mph.

Under light throttle pressure, the new V8 engine seamlessly and imperceptibly switches from V8 to V4 mode, thanks to its variable displacement and very advanced engine management system.

High-pressure direct injection, low-friction bearings, thermal management, energy recovery through the charging system, and clever turbocharger packaging are just a few of the technological highlights of this cutting-edge V8.

The all-wheel-drive system in the Bentley Continental GT is state-of-the-art, with a sophisticated Torsen differential and a 40:60 rear-biased power distribution. The result is a sports car that can be driven confidently in all weather.
