Bentley has long been a byword for luxury, class, and refinement. More than just a badge, the Flying B stands for everything in the luxury category, bringing with it an old-world charm that only British marques can offer. But Bentley isn’t just about luxury: they have a rich racing heritage too, something that some of their more sporting models happily lean into. Our featured 2016 Bentley Continental GTC V8 S is the perfect example of this. You get all the plush materials, luxury appointments, and timeless design that you’d expect, coupled with real potency under the hood. The V8 S models featured an added turn of power, standing apart from the norm, as well as tweaked handling attributes.

Exterior and Interior
The exterior of any Bentley can be described as a masterpiece, but the drop-dead two-door tourer looks of the Continental are almost in a league of their own. Our featured car is dressed in an elegant grey and sits on 21-inch Bentley six-spoke wheels. You’ll also note the black convertible hood, which is electrically retractable to allow you to enjoy topless motoring at the drop of a hat. The matching grey interior is crafted with high-end materials, featuring premium leather, fine wood veneers, and meticulous detailing. The cabin is designed for comfort and convenience, offering keyless entry, a driver-focused cockpit, and paddle shifters for an engaging drive.

Engine
Under the hood is Bentley’s 4,0-liter twin-turbocharged V8. In V8 S guise, the Continental is reportedly factory-rated for 521 horsepower. It’s matched with an 8-speed ZF gearbox and all-wheel drive for surefooted handling. Vented front and rear disc brakes offer precise stopping power, while speed-sensitive power steering enhances maneuverability. Whether cruising effortlessly or unleashing its full potential, this Continental GTC V8 S exemplifies Bentley’s perfect balance of luxury and performance.
