Introduced to appeal to the younger more sporting driver, the V8S version of the iconic Bentley Continental quickly became the pick of the range with its visual cues (new front splitter, side skirts and a rear diffuser) and potent 521 bhp twin-turbo V8 capable of sprinting from 0-62mph in just 4. 5sec and on to 192mph.
Stiffer suspension and a revised steering system delivered greater precision on th road while its traction control has its dial turned a little further towards 'fun'. Like all Continental GTs, there's an all-wheel drive system with a 60/ 40 power split in favour of the rear wheels and a Torsen differential to exploit it.
While its peak power is up at 6000rpm, you'll notice that peak torque arrives at just 1700rpm. In reality there's a decent bung of that available from 1500rpm, helping the V8S lurch both off the line and in gear with impressive urgency.
Pull the GT's cold chrome gear lever back into Sport and that urgency becomes almost savage. The gears are held onto longer in auto mode but react more quickly when choosing them yourself, while the throttle is made more sensitive and the V8 S's far-reaching torque band and rock-steady traction commands your fullest attention.
Importantly, it is still supremely refined when you want it to be. Even beyond the national speed limit, wind and road noise are brilliantly contained, and that brutal V8 is easily tamed as a gentle cruise once backed out of Sport mode.
Easily one of the best examples of a GT to drive spiritedly, the GT's grip is monumental, there are huge reserves of power on tap, and it is so comfortable you could cross continents with ease.
