    Make : Bentley
    Model : Continental

    In today's age, not too many carmakers combine luxury and bling in the automotive space better than Bentley and that’s why the company’s approach to the new Continental V8 S is so refreshing. Rather than spend a lot of time and advertising budget on changing the styling, Bentley let the engineering do the talking, and in the case of the new V8 S, the results are like Frank Sinatra in full flow.

    In fact, it’s only if you notice the 'S' on the badging that you will look again at the slightly reworked front grille, new blacked out front splitter, side skirts and reworked rear diffuser. The 20-inch 'open spoke' design alloy wheels and distinctive red brake calipers are also unique to the V8 S, while the whole car has been lowered by 10mm.
