With the Continental GT, Bentley’s new owner, Volkswagen, was out to prove that enthusiasts of “The Cars from Crewe” had nothing to worry about. The first Bentley built under VW patronages would combine legendary German precision engineering with typically British finishes and handcrafted build quality. It would also offer outstanding performance, capable of accelerating from 0– to 60-mph in only 4.7 seconds and reaching a top speed a tick under 200-mph. Power-ventilated disc brakes with ABS and four-wheel air suspension, which the driver could adjust to suit driving speed and conditions, made exercising the Continental GT a safe pleasure.

The result was arguably the most exciting Bentley in a generation, taking the marque close to its racing roots while also retaining the cosseting comfort levels of later models. It revitalized the Bentley name around the world, and as such, it has taken its place among the company’s long roster of legends.

Carrying with it an excellent reputation for performance-based luxury, this beautiful Bentley Continental GT is presented in silver with richly appointed leather interior. The car is powered by a 6.0-liter W-12 twin turbo engine that produces a whopping 552 horsepower that runs through an six-speed automatic transmission. The brakes are equally impressive being ventilated, antilock four-wheel discs. The Bentley has approximately 44,000 miles registered on the odometer, which are believed to be original. The car is reported as well optioned and is also stated to be exceptional throughout. Along with shattering performance, this true GT machine has air conditioning, factory alloy wheels, elegant wood trim elements, radio, sport mirrors with remote; power seats, windows, steering and brakes.
