Continental GT - V8 or W12?

When searching for a car with the latest technology, exquisite craftsmanship and exciting, raw power, then look no further than the Bentley Continental range. Available with a W12, or V8 engine, and with convertible variants of both, it begs the tricky question; take the iconic 6 li tre, twin-turbocharged W12 engine, or opt for the lively, exceptionally responsive V8? We obviously can’t explain just how both of these cars drive here, but we can put the details down, so you can take a look at how the figures between the two.

Starting with the power, the W12 delivers an enormous 626bhp, whilst the V8 offers a more than respectable 542bhp.0-60mph times are incredible close, with the W12 just edging ahead up to a top speed of 207mph. Both V8 and W12 models are incredible responsive, and an absolute joy to drive, whether as your everyday drive or as your special occasion grand tourer.

Although our showrooms are now closed, we are happy to speak with you remotely about any concerns or enquiries you may have about the range, and will do our best to assist you with our usual high level of customer service.

Stay safe, and we look forward to seeing you again at a later date.
