Why the 2019 Bentley Continental GT Could Be Your Dream Car

Is the 2019 Bentley Continental GT your dream car? It could just very well be. Although, when it comes to dream cars, this legendary brand certainly offers more than a few options! What’s so special about this new iteration? Let’s find out.

Dream Car Specifications

This is only the second generation Conti GT since VW bought Bentley in the late 1990’s. We’ll see the tried and true 6.0 liter twin turbo W-12 – though it boosts power to an even more robust 626 horses and 664 lb-ft of torque. It’s paired with an eight speed dual clutch, a first for the brand. In just 3.6 seconds, you’ll soar from a stop to sixty. The GT has also lost a bit of weight (175 pounds), and it is proven that this reduction delivers great gains in terms of handling and performance.

The 2019 Bentley Continental GT was put through its paces on Austria’s Grossglockner High Alpine Road. The arduous 8200 foot winding, twisting, turning pass is challenging enough, but test drivers from Car and Driver opted to unleash this beast on rainy day with a melting snow pack. Why take the easy route? It’ll feel easy in a Bentley!

The GT handled like the champion it is. Turns, even the tight, exacting ones of the Grossglockner, were no obstacle. Steering is precise, and the lighter version performed with exceptional agility and energy. As Car and Driver remarked, it was as “if the car had been given an elixir of youth.”

2019 Bentley Continental GT: A True Icon

The Continental GT is truly an icon in the Bentley lineup, and key elements remain in place. But the design and engineering team created a wider, lower look, a more upright grille, and a beautifully sculpted fascia. The stance has been improved, largely thanks to a longer rear overhang and a wider wheelbase. All in all, this is a leaner, much meaner, performance machine.
