Exterior aesthetics of

The design of the 

The front part is much sportier than before, with a more aerodynamic shape but without losing its huge chrome grille and the four circular spotlights that characterize it. The length of the bonnet is typical of a huge 4.85 meter long coupe.

The side view is typical of a coupe, with a very smooth and progressive drop from the roof to the rear, with marked wheel arches, especially the rear ones. Everything in the line is fluid and aerodynamic.

The rear is the newest and houses in a concentrated way all the elegance that a Bentley should have. The oval shaped pilots are spectacular and fit perfectly with the smooth lines of the entire rear; A feast for the eyes.

Interior design and habitability

If you love cars as much as we do, fiddling with the controls and buttons of a Bentley gives you goosebumps. Everything has an exquisite touch and has the perfect hardness, it is difficult to express everything that the textures of all its components convey, even the mats pleasantly attract your attention.

Engines and dynamics

With the heart of this sports coupe nothing has been left to chance and they have decided to equip it with a massive 6.0-liter W12 with 635 hp of brute force. With such a bomb under the hood, it is not surprising that it goes from 0 to 100 km / h in 3.7 seconds and reaches 333 km / h, data available to few sports cars.

It has even more merit if you look at what the scale marks, since it goes up to 2,244 kilograms despite having a new lightweight chassis. But quiet, the engine and the outstanding chassis set-up will make you believe that it weighs a ton less.

The 900 Nm torque is scary, but the 2018 Bentley Continental GT is able to stay glued to the asphalt thanks to a four-wheel drive and its huge tires with 21 ″ wheels, or with the optional 22 ″.

The wheelbase has increased by 10.5 centimeters, so they have been able to place the engine closer to the center of the car and thus distribute the weights better, which goes from a 58/42 of the previous model to a 55/45 of the current one ( front axle / rear axle).

Price and conclusion

If you do not go crazy with the thousand very expensive options available, you can have a Bentley Continental GT 2018 for 230,064 euros, a figure that is not exorbitant for what the car offers if we compare it with a Mercedes S-Class coupe, which with an engine similar is going to 296,800 euros.

Forgive me the Germans, but a Bentley is a Bentley, and this latest model is more impressive than you might expect. Its main rivals for brand image are the Aston Martin Vantage or the Ferrari GTC4Lusso. If you are doubting which one to buy, you are very, very lucky.
