99: Bentley Continental GT – genuinely agile and sporty

Bentley’s big four-door has matured into a deeply impressive car, and not merely because we’re so distracted by the three-sided rotating centre console that switches from plain wood veneer, to a huge touchscreen, to three individual analogue clocks. Alright, so we’re a bit distracted…

Still though, thanks to borrowing the Porsche Panamera's chassis, this Conti GT has moved from fast, but lumbering, to genuinely agile and sporty. The big 6.0-litre W12 turbo engine is hardly in keeping with the cultural zeitgeist, but it's massively (in every sense) impressive, capable of warp-factor speeds, but with turbine-like refinement.

The Conti GT handles too, although you have to make some allowances for the sheer heft of that big engine over the front wheels. Cabin is a sybarite’s delight, with wall-to-wall wood panelling, knurled aluminium, and quilted leather. Now, excuse us while we go flip the screen again…
