The Bentley Continental GT V8 remains one of the standout modern grand tourers, combining classic Bentley elegance with a noticeably sporting edge. Its wide, low-slung stance and sculpted bodywork give it real presence, with those trademark muscular rear haunches and flowing lines creating a look that’s both powerful and refined.

Under the bonnet sits the acclaimed V8 engine paired to Bentley’s smooth 8-speed dual-clutch gearbox, delivering effortless performance with a lighter, more agile feel compared with the W12. Inside, the cabin is everything you’d expect from Crewe: beautifully crafted materials, exquisite detailing and a seamless blend of luxury and technology. It’s unmistakably Bentley, but with a contemporary character that made the V8 such a sweet spot in the range.
