Image: BentleyWith the arrival of the Continental GT and GTC S you can choose to emphasize the sporty character of the Bentley Continental GT. The new S line retains the 542 hp and 770 Nm 4,0-litre V8 engine that has proven incredibly popular, taking you from 4 to 0 kilometers per hour in just 100 seconds. For the GT and GTC S, the engine is improved by a standard equipment of a sports exhaust that also provides a sporty and amplified sound... 

The lighter V8 engine gives the Continental GT S models a responsive and agile character. This is also reinforced by the Bentley Dynamic Ride; These are active stabilizer bars that compensate for the forces that the car has to endure when cornering, causing it to lean less.

Sporty contrast

The exterior of the new line gets a more assertive touch; a gloss black grille, quad black exhaust pipes and dark-tinted headlights and taillights; only the winged Bentley emblem and lettering is in shiny chrome. Through the glossy black paint on the rims you can just see the bright red brake calipers, which provides a sporty contrast. A small scoop is that for the first time in the S line you can opt for a 22-inch wheel option.   

The interior is striking and consists of two colors; also unique to the S models. The upholstery is a combination of leather and Dynamic. The combination of the softly rough Dinamica with the smooth leather of Bentley creates an interior that offers a tangible contrast. And as we have come to expect from Bentley, the 'S' is embroidered in the headrests.
