The Bentley Continental GT as standard comes with a six-litre W12 engine, but, you can now get it with a smaller, but altogether more rumbly, four-litre V8 under the nose. That helps to reduce the weight - unsurprisingly losing two litres and four cylinders of Bentley power means the engine isn’t quite as massive as before. But it also reduces power and torque.
So that begs the question. Does this Bentley Continental GT suddenly become a rumbling, brutal fighting machine when it’s given a sonorous V8 engine, or does the reduction in power make it a but of a weedy second-class citizen? We’ve driven a bright orange one to find out.

It's just astonishing, just gives it the perfect stance. With the carbon and the black wheels reminds of his older brother the Speed. That darkened headlights gives the final touch. Beautiful spec outside and in the inside.

It’s 2021 and you’re still filming in 1080p with verry bad quality, even phones are able to film better videos for years now

It's not a 'noise'. It's a sound.

Like you said it's really the sweet spot of the range, the sound gives that extra burble. Being the cheapest and more economical are a great passport for superb Grand Tourer. That interior especially with that wood reminds why it's of the finest in British Motoring, never lost it's true class.

thanks for sharing.. Just a minor point: Bentleys do not make noise... they make sound. :-)

Great Vid. my friend. You never once mention anything negative about the car, only praise the car, V8 or W12, I wish other reviewers could do the same while reviewing any car including The Stunning Continental GT. Thanks

When you know this Bentley share the same engine (EA825), transmission (8DCT), and Chassis (3rd gen Panamera series). You know this will drive fantastically even with 2165KG of weight.
