If you read Bentley’s marketing material, you’ll find there’s reference to the Continental offering an “unrivalled road presence”. That seems pretty much spot on, as the Continental coupe and convertible models will not just catch your eye, but spin you on your spot as they drive by.
The looks are just one part of the equation, though. The Continental offers striking interior finishes and technology, four seats capable of holding adults, and the choice of a 6.0-litre twin-turbo V12 engine or a 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8.
The Bentley Continental range is priced from $452,670 for the entry-level V8 coupe, through to $471,718 for the V12 convertible version.

Bentley Continental Interior
Bentley says it makes the world's best car interiors. No argument here, everything is lovely to look at and touch, and it all works, effortlessly. Luxury cabin brings to mind flying business class, only better.
Bentley Continental Speed
The 0 to 100km/h time is an impressive 3.2 seconds. That's super car fast.
Bentley Continental Engine
The Continental GT Speed has a 4.0-litre V8 that makes 441kW and 800Nm, which almost sounds ample, but the addition of the electric E-motor is good for another 140kW and 450Nm, with the aid of a 29.5kWh battery, which somehow adds up to a combined output of 575kW and a nice, round, and impressive 1000Nm of torque.

Bentley Continental Boot Space
You get a lot of car, but not a lot of boot, with a boot volume of just 260 litres.
Bentley Continental Seats
It's a two-plus-two and not a four seater, very much temporary or child-only travel in the back. It's not easy to see out of those back seats, because the front ones are so big. And so very, very lovely.
Bentley Continental Range
In full-EV mode, this hybridised Bentley will take you up to a claimed 81km before draining the battery, at speeds of up to 81km/h.
