2014 Bentley Continental GT V8

Though Charlotte, NC is known for many things, our southern city is perhaps most known for playing home to some of the fastest cars and best drivers around. While you won't find them on the track, the 2014 Bentley Continental GT is guaranteed to satisfy even the most intense needs for speed - not to mention top-notch features, beautiful curves, and precision.

Bentley Continental GT Performance

Given the diversity of the lineup and pride in precision and performance, Bentley has historically been fairly specific about its models and namings - and the Bentley Continental GT is no exception. The Bentley Continental GT V8, specifically, stands out with its 4L V8 engine that develops 660 Nm of torque at just 1,700 rpm and presents 500 bhp. Able to fly from zero to 60 in just 4.6 seconds and zero to 100 in 4.8, the Bentley Continental GT V8 has a maximum speed of 188 miles per hour.

Beyond the power and impressive acceleration, however, lies stunning overall performance and efficiency - the Bentley Continental GT V8 engine delivers a 40 percent increase in overall efficiency, with six percent of that efficiency owed to the new eight-speed transmission.

With a combined efficiency of 18 mpg, the Bentley Continental GT receives an EPA estimated 15 mpg city and 24 mpg highway.

The Bentley Continental GT Interior

The Bentley Continental GT was made for comfort and convenience, while also maintaining the luxurious feel and high-end sporty features that have become so synonymous with the Bentley name. The driver's seat and front passenger seat both include 14-way memory adjustments, including lumbar. Dual-zone climates ensure that everyone in the vehicle is comfortable at all times. On the tech side, a GPS tracking system provision and park distance control feature provide added convenience and safety for all on board.

The Bentley Continental GT V8 hosts an impressive infotainment system that features a touch-screen navigation system with live traffic data, a 30 GB hard drive, tire pressure monitoring, phone contact access, and more. On the entertainment side of the infotainment system, passengers and drivers will love being swathed in music from every angle, thanks to the eight-speaker system that accesses live radio, iPods, MP3s, SD cards, or CDs from the six disc changer.

Dark Fiddleback Eucalyptus veneers specifically selected for the Bentley Continental GT pair with traditional wood, knurled metal, and your choice of four monotone interior shades of leather specifically selected for this V8 to surround passengers in luxury on all sides.

Exterior Features

Bentley's signature floating LED lights adorn the tail end of the Bentley Continental GT, while a gloss black mesh grille adorns the front. The Bentley signature "B" emblem presents on the hood, trunk, and wheel centers, clearly branding this beauty as part of the Bentley family. Exclusive 21-inch wheels accentuate the V8's sportiness. Spanning nearly 16 feet in length, every inch of the exterior is well planned, from door edge reflectors to rain-sensing windshield wipers, seven exterior paint color options, a concealed rear airfoil with automatic deployment, and more.

Although the Bentley Continental GT V8 is loaded in standard features, there are no shortage of options to personalize your vehicle to your taste. Contrast stitching, a TV tuner, diamond quilting into seats, specialty overmats, and rearview cameras are just the beginning. Massage ventilated seats, personalized headrest embroidery, carbon fiber fascia panels are just some of the optional luxury upgrades available.
