This is for the buyer who wants the ultimate grand tourer, a car built to cross a country in a day in total comfort. The new Continental GT is Bentley's flagship coupe, rebuilt with cleaner styling, a plush cabin and a mighty W12 under the long bonnet. It sits above almost everything, with only a short list of true rivals.
Amelia's first look picks up the sharper lines, the jewel like detailing and a cabin trimmed in the kind of leather and wood that takes weeks to build. The rotating dash display is the party piece, hiding the screen when you want calm. For an Australian owner it promises effortless highway miles with a badge that opens doors at the country club.
If you have the means and you want a coupe that blends speed with old world luxury, the Continental GT is the benchmark. The rest of us can only admire it from the footpath. For grand touring done properly, Bentley still sets the standard in this rarefied field.
