A coupe worthy of the GT name. Inspired by the grace and power of Bentley's thoroughbred bloodline, the Continental GT combines phenomenal power, class-leading performance and contemporary design with handcraftsmanship in true Crewe tradition. Power that doesn't compromise space. Handling that doesn't compromise comfort. Technology that doesn't compromise handcraftsmanship. Above all, true Grand Touring performance complemented by the luxury of Bentley legend.

Exterior
The standard range of 15 exterior paint colours appeals to a wide variety of tastes. A bespoke exterior paint match service to personal specification or additional colours from the Arnage range are also available.

A wide range of alloy sports wheels can be specified for your Continental GT. Your choice of 19" or 20" wheels in chrome or painted finish will be guided as much by aesthetics as by its impact on the dynamic handling and the driving experience you prefer.

Interior
It takes as many as 14 hides and 135 metres of thread to trim the inside of a Continental GT. Burr Walnut with its intricate natural patterns is the standard wood veneer with six other styles of handcrafted unbleached wood veneer also available. A guide to our recommended combinations of exterior and interior colours can be found at FC Kerbeck.

The DVD Satellite Navigation system can route you across entire continents without having to change the disc. A Bluetooth rSAP telephone system means you are automatically connected to your network even if your phone is in your pocket or your briefcase. The advanced keyless entry and ignition technology, multi-zone climate control, electronically adjustable front seats with memory and heating, together with the multi-function steering wheel, deliver an unprecedented level of comfort and control.
