Immersion, comfort and style are paramount in the steady enterprise of open-road touring. Bentley Motors has unveiled their fastest grand tourer yet in the second generation Continental GT model run, and it's all class. On its exterior, the winged 'B' maintains the institutional aesthetic of the model from previous years, with subtle stylistic tweaks to improve the ergonomics. An extended lower grill, redesigned lip-style spoiler and the luminous veneer additions of 'shortbread' and 'camel' are among the first external features that immediately demand one's attention. Bentley reveals its hand in the most exceptional new addition to this generation, yes, we're talking about the engine. Just one listen to that deep, rumbling tenor and you'll understand why the 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 aims true, stealing your eyes away from the competition. Make no mistake, everyone else will be looking at you on the highway and beyond. 2016 BENTLEY CONTINENTAL GT CONVERTIBLE Horsepower: 521 / 626 0-60 MPH: 3.9 seconds Top Speed: 206 MPH Engine: twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 Torque: 502 lb-ft.
