The Bentley Continental GT is a 2-door fastback coupé / 2-door convertible from Bentley, built from 2003, in the decade of stability control, dual-clutch gearboxes and the first serious hybrids. Under the bonnet: 6.0 . Raul Pires, Dirk van Braeckel (2000) drew it.
How it came about
The Bentley Continental GT is a grand touring car manufactured and marketed by the British company Bentley Motors since 2003. The Continental GT is offered as a two-door coupé or convertible, with four seats. It was the first new Bentley released after the company's acquisition by Volkswagen AG in 1998, and the first Bentley to employ mass production manufacturing techniques. It was later joined by the Bentley Continental Flying Spur, a four-door saloon car variant.
The hardware
Power comes from 6.0 . It weighs 2350 kg. It shifts through a 6-speed ZF 6HP 26A tiptronic automatic. The wheelbase is 2746 mm. These are manufacturer figures carried by Wikipedia and Wikidata, not road-test measurements.
Family and rivals
Its family tree is legible: assembly was at Crewe (Bentley Crewe), United Kingdom. Its contemporaries in the catalogue — the Mazda Mazda3, the Mazda RX-8, the Citroën C3 — show what else the money bought that year. Its Bentley stablemates include the Armoured Arnage and the Bentley 3 Litre.
