The Appeal

The 2023 Bentley Continental GT V8 is the modern grand tourer at its most complete, effortlessly blending handcrafted luxury with immense twin-turbocharged performance. Powered by a 4.0-litre V8 producing 542hp and 568 lb-ft of torque, it delivers breathtaking pace through an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission and all-wheel drive, yet remains serene and composed over long distances.

Inside, the cabin is a showcase of Bentley craftsmanship, with rich leather, exquisite detailing and cutting-edge technology creating an atmosphere that feels more like a private jet than a sports coupe. Despite its near-five-metre presence and muscular stance, the Continental GT carries itself with surprising agility, offering a driving experience that can shift from refined cruiser to genuinely engaging performance car in an instant. It remains one of the definitive luxury GT cars of its era, equally at home outside a five-star hotel or crossing continents in complete comfort.

This particular Continental GT V8 has covered around 3,000 kilometres since new, its use reportedly limited to a single season on the French Riviera. The vendor describes the exterior as being in very good condition and states the car is in fine mechanical fettle. This is a compelling opportunity to acquire a barely used Continental GT V8 in a distinguished specification.
