Overview
This is the all-new Continental, Bentley's luxury Grand Tourer. It ditches the old Audi FWD-based layout and adopts a new rear-wheel drive-based platform that gives it the long sleek long hood-short deck proportions of a traditional grand tourer.
There are two twin-turbo gasoline engine options for the new all-wheel drive Continental, a 4.0-liter V8 mill which makes 542hp and 770Nm of torque, and a 6.0-liter W12 which produces 626hp and 900Nm of torque. Both motors are mated to an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission.
