As the
first new model released after the acquisition of the Bentley name by
Volkswagen, the pressure was there from the eager public to see what the
results would be. What was revealed was a brilliant pillar-less coupe design
with a blend of modern technology and quality hand craftsmanship … Thankfully
following the lineage of Bentley’s past.
This 2007
model Continental showcases all the amazing elements Bentley worked into this
car. From the optional Meteor blue paint from Arnage-Range and Saddle leather
interior with veneer inserts, deep pile carpet mats and even lumbar massage to
both front seats, all in addition to the long list of features the GT is
already equipped with, four zone climate control, power latching doors, cell
phone integration, navigation and even programmable comfort settings for each
individual driver!!! The 6.0L Twin Turbo W12 engine makes an impressive 552hp
and delivers it to all four wheels through a 6 speed automatic transmission,
making this luxury coupe capable of performance that almost defies logical
physics ….. 0-60 mph in 4.7 seconds! With a mere 2,140 miles on this meteor
blue example, it is just as delivered from the dealership, even retaining every
all the Bentley accessories to match the car, from coffee mugs to car covers,
genuine battery tenders to Bentley duffle bags. These cars are a symbol of
British ingenuity and quality, with a touch of German engineering. They are,
and always will be looked upon as a symbol of class and refinement, a car that
you can’t help but stare at as it passes by.
