The 2015 Bentley Continental GT is a big, heavy car, and it needs the power of those V8 and W12 engines to move it along. And move it they do, with 60 mph available from a dead stop in less than five seconds, and 200-mph top speeds. Speed models are even faster, and all come with a quick-shifting ZF 8-speed automatic transmission. Yet sheer speed isn't the whole story here. No, it's more about the elegant sophistication with which the Continental GT goes about its business. While you can certainly hear the engines under full throttle, at cruise the Bentley Continental is quiet and sophisticated, pampering its occupants with a comfortable ride, sumptuous leather and a high-end audio system. It does so regardless of weather, as the top on convertibles goes up quickly, and all Continental GT models come standard with all-wheel drive.
NAIM AUDIOYou may not have heard of Naim Audio, but you'll remember how it sounds. Like Macintosh and Bose in the American market, Naim has custom-tailored its audio for the Bentley Continental GT, resulting in audio quality that rivals the sounds coming from beneath the Continental GT's hood.INTERIOR FIT AND FINISHThe interior of the Bentley Continental GT isn't just about the leathers and materials used. It's about how it all comes together as a whole. Like the continuous sweep of the Rolex that's likely on your wrist, every surface, knob and switch whisper quality and luxury.
If you think a car is a car, regardless of price, stepping inside the 2015 Bentley Continental GT will dispel that in an instant. There's leather, naturally, but it's of the finest quality you'll likely ever see in a car. Rather than plastic wood and metal-looking plastic, you get real wood and metallic trim. A Breitling clock on the dash is nicer than what most people have in their houses. Is a Bentley comfortable? Of course it is, as long as you're sitting in front; rear passengers are going to be cramped.
There's no mistaking when a Bentley Continental GT arrives. The headlights, mesh grille and sloping roofline are unlike anything else on the road, commanding your attention without screaming for it. While not very long – it's about the same length as a Honda Accord – the Continental GT's width, huge tires and low stance give it a muscular, purposeful look. And that's just the coupe; the convertible is just as striking when the top goes down, because the size of the car makes it feel like you've opened the roof at Wembley Stadium.
Most notable on the standard-features list this year is a rearview camera; oddly, it was on the options list last year. It joins the kinds of standard features you'd expect on a car costing this much: leather on everything, a high-resolution touch-screen command center with navigation, massive 20-inch wheels, bi-xenon projector headlights, an 8-speaker sound system, and a power trunk (or "boot," as it's called across the Pond). The power top on GT Convertibles boasts four insulated layers. GT Speed models have a more powerful version of Bentley's already-potent 12-cylinder engine.
We've already mentioned the Naim audio system, which is worth every penny. Aside from that, there are a heated steering wheel, radar-based adaptive cruise control, carbon-ceramic brakes and lamb's-wool rugs. GT and GT Convertible models can be equipped with 21-inch aluminum-alloy wheels. We're quite fond of the electronically adjustable neck warmer in the convertible models, perfect for those cool nights when you want to cruise top down under starry skies. Beyond the standard options, Bentley also works closely with individual customers to ensure a unique experience through its Mulliner division.
There are two engines available for the 2015 Bentley Continental GT, a powerful V8 and an even more powerful W12, where the cylinders are arranged in four banks of three each. Each of those engines is available in different power outputs as well, depending on the model. The Continental GT V8 coupe and convertible get a 500-horsepower twin-turbo V8; the GT V8 S gets a higher-output version of the same, and the GT3-R gets a super-high-output version. The GT W12 gets the big 12-cylinder, obviously, while the W12 Speed gets an even higher-output version. All Continental GTs have an 8-speed automatic transmission that sends power to all four wheels.

Give your accountant a heads up on a sizable check when you buy your 2015 Bentley Continental GT. The Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) for the GT V8 – the least expensive model – is a bit more than $ 193,000, and prices go up from there quickly. Want a convertible? Bring about $ 214,000. And that's just for the base model; the Continental GT Speed Convertible starts at around $ 261,000, and that's before you start adding options or customization. That's less than a Rolls-Royce Wraith, which starts around $ 290,000, but higher than just about everything else that could conceivably be considered a competitor. Since it's such a niche vehicle, it's very difficult to predict resale values for the 2015 Bentley Continental GT. Checking the Fair Purchased Price may well be moot.

The definition of luxury may have nothing to do with the streets but, paradoxically, it can be seen roaming through some of the least expected places, rims glimmering, wood and chrome finished steel bulk rolling silently through concrete labyrinth passage ways. It's an automobile that goes great with yachts and French Riviera vacations as well as New Zealand wool pin stripe suits and finely designed porcelain buttons embedded in solid gold.
Bentley has been a provider of quality stand-out privileged social and financial statement-vehicles since 1919. Founded by Walter Owen Bentley (1888-1971), Bentley Motors has grown into a world leading car-maker and also a symbol of Great Britain, as well as sole provider of wheels for the Queen through the 2002 released State Limousine.
The company's founder had primarily been known for designing and making reliable rotary engines that were fitted on aircraft during World War I, before successfully entering the auto-world. Before becoming notorious with the Bentley BR1 aero-engine during the war, Bentley had been in partnership with his brother H.M., selling French D.F.P. cars. It was during those times that he thought of establishing his own car-making business.
Soon after Bentley Motors was formed in January, 1919, the company was "allowing" Walter Owen to exhibit a chassis with an engine replica at the London Motor Show. The design was a success and the orders poured in. However, the company was unable to carry the deliveries out in time, with the first cars being ready for shipping only in September 1921, one year later than initially estimated.
Although, it had a lot of fans and enjoyed great value on the UK market, the company suffered a fate similar to that of Aston Martin, undergoing several ownership changes and financial trouble. Fortunately enough, its allies were constantly on the look-out and possessed vast riches that they used to keep Bentley on track.
Bentley was acquired by millionaire and 'Bentley Boy' enthusiast Wolf Barnato, who became the new owner of the company in 1925. Despite the steady cash flow that was used to stop Bentley Motors from sinking, the Great Depression wiped clean any desire for expensive automobiles, leaving Bentley poor and disoriented.
This time, help would come from giants from Rolls Royce, who bought the work shop in 1931. Thanks to the 'Bentley Boys', the marque managed to stay afloat and gained racing acclaim, with Barnato participating in the Le Train Bleu race (he drove in traffic from Cannes to Calais and finished first). Consequently, the model became known as the Blue Train Bentley. Moreover, further victories would be obtained by Bentley in the famous endurance race 24 hours of le Mans, the British carmaker emerging victorious for four consecutive times, between 1927 and 1930.
Until entering under the Rolls Royce tutelage, Bentley fitted a variety of engines on their cars: from the classic 3L and 4.5 Blower Bentley engine to the 6L or massive 8L mechanical heart in the 30's. Before parting ways with the Rolls Royce parent company in 1998 and moving to VW grounds, Bentley had greatly improved their offers and technological improvements, especially after becoming a separate car line again during the 80's. Models such as the type R, S and Continental represented only a small fraction of what would come in the following years. Later models included the beautiful Azure convertible, the Turbos Sport R and S models and the competitive Brooklands.
Starting with 1998, German carmaker VW Group took over as Bentley's parent company in a profitable partnership with BMW. The agreement between the two parts stated that VW would make both Bentley and Rolls Royce cars until 2002, when the rights to manufacture Rolls Royce vehicles would pass entirely to BMW. Until 2003, BMW was a constant supplier of engines for both car lines. Soon after BMW's withdrawal, the company launched a new model that would become even more popular than the Azure: the Continental GT. In fact, demands were so numerous that Bentley was reacquainted with the situation form the 20's, when it was unable to meet demands. The latest models from the British carmaker include the 2005 Continental Flying Spur saloon, the 2006 Azure convertible and it's Continental GT counterpart, and the 2008 Brooklands and GT Speed Coupe.

"This is the best luxury car i have ever owned."
This model is one of the first batch of GTCs shipped to Florida for their introduction in 2007
They received numerous inspections at the factory in the UK befitting a dramatic and spectacular new model. Most of the shipment were in the colors considered the most
outstanding, namely Silver Lake(light metallic blue) exterior with Saffron hide interior.
This Car has the very comprehensive specification of these Show Models, plus the
addition of 22inch diameter chrome/silver lake wheels. It has had the benefit of an average of less than 2200miles per year plus the enhancement of entry in Concours de Elegance events which entails continued attention both inside & outside. It is immaculate.

"4-door FLYING SPUR FLIES"
Bought it used. I have had it for one year and have put on about 8000 miles. Traded in a used Bentley I bought 20 years ago. This car is much different. The W-12 is super fast. Well-appointed. Huge back seat. Deceptive as it looks slow but is wicked fast. W-12. Twin Turbo.AWD
Solid colors are nice, but two-tone colors on these cars make them look awesome. New they are out-of-reach , but used, very affordable. Maintenance? Find yourself a good independent mechanic that knows the cars (whether they are Bentley, Rolls-Royce, etc) These cars are built to last. Just do the oil changes when they are due, change tires,brakes, etc. When you buy a used car that will last you 20+ years, you come out way ahead.Read less
