Bentley Continental GTC V8

The Continental GTC V8 makes a compelling case over its W12 sibling — the twin-turbocharged 4.0-litre V8 is marginally lighter over the front axle, delivers a more involving throttle character, and produces a notably better sound with the roof folded. This 2020 example has covered just 10,455 miles from new, making it one of the lower-mileage GTC V8s of this generation on the used market.

The optional equipment list is strong. Mulliner Driving Specification is fitted — bringing the signature diamond-knurled trim and alternative Mulliner wheels — alongside Front Seat Comfort Specification, Contrast Stitching and Seat Piping, and a Duo Tone heated three-spoke steering wheel. The Bentley Rotating Display features, giving the driver the choice between digital instruments, analogue dials, or a clean veneer fascia. City Specification, Welcome Lighting, Mood Lighting, and an inductive phone charger round out the interior equipment. Exterior highlights include LED Welcome Lamps by Mulliner and a bright chromed lower bumper matrix grille.

Dealer-quoted figures of 542 bhp, 770 lb-ft of torque, a 4.0-second 0–60 mph time and 198 mph top speed are in line with Bentley's published specifications. Power is distributed through an AWD system via the eight-speed automatic gearbox. The car is finished in Black.
