Bentley announce new Continental GT V8 and GT V8 Convertible

Bentley is introducing two new versions of its third generation Continental GT and GT Convertible models this year. The definitive luxury Grand Tourer is now available for customer order, with a powerful V8 petrol engine, unparalleled levels of luxury, and cutting-edge technology.

Both V8 models are equipped with a new-generation 4.0-litre, twin-turbocharged engine developing 542 bhp (550 PS) and 568 lb.ft (770 Nm) of torque.

Designed, engineered and handcrafted in Crewe, the Continental GT V8 and GT V8 Convertible feature 20-inch, 10-spoke painted alloys wheels, subtle V8 badging and a handcrafted interior.

Bentley created the modern luxury Grand Tourer segment in 2003, with the launch of the first generation Continental GT and, sitting at the core of the ground-breaking Continental GT line-up, the new V8 models offer customers a unique breadth of Grand Touring abilities.

Customer deliveries will commence in the US in Q3, with availability for other regions to be scheduled from Q1 2020.
