The Continental GT was already the biggest-selling Bentley in the marque's 92-year history and the equal of Aston Martin's much praised DB9, says Steve Cropley in Autocar. Now, it is even better.
Small changes to nearly every panel have made the car "more subtly beautiful", the interior is just as "elegant", and the engine delivers a further 15bhp. The result is a 0-60mph time of just 4.4 seconds and a top speed of 198mph "terrific times for a car that still weighs 2.3 tonnes".
Not that it feels that big to drive: it "steers and points as well as any sports coup". In short, the car is "primed and spruced to take its place among the best real-world driver's cars on the market".
