2015 Bentley Continental GT review, test drive

Should I buy one?

The Continental GT delivers pretty much all that its well-heeled customers are looking for. Not only is it ruthlessly good at delivering its velvety smooth yet extremely potent performance, it’s also got all the luxury and equipment you could ask for, and it’s big enough to be reasonably practical too. It also looks really good, with incredible road presence, a lot of bling, and that all-important Winged B on its nose – which is what buyers will really love. Which one should you choose? We wouldn’t have trouble recommending any of them – the V8 is immensely capable for an ‘entry level’ variant, the improved W12 seems a great all-rounder, there’s the V8 S if you want a little more by way of dynamics, and the Speed is just the ultimate all-encompassing expression of the GT. Whatever your choice, the new Continental range is a great blend of real-world performance, supreme luxury and red-carpet bling.
