“We are thrilled for the Contintential GT S to receive this recognition by Robb Report, and just months after being awarded Car of the Year” says Christophe Georges, President and CEO of Bentley Americas. “The Contintential GT has been the pinnacle of luxury performance for the last 20 years by providing its passengers with world-class performace, comfort and striking design.”

On behalf of Robb Report, we would like to congratulate Bentley on this prestigious award. The Continental GT S is an impeccable and unmatched fusion of true luxury and incredible performance,” said Luke Bahrenburg, President of Robb Report.
The third-generation Continental GT combines spirited, focused performance with handcrafted luxury and cutting-edge technology, to create the finest Grand Tourer ever produced. The GT S range retains the 542 bhp (550 PS) and 770 Nm 4.0-litre V8 engine that’s proved incredibly popular with customers around the world, delivering a time of just 4.0 seconds for 0-100 km/h (62 mph). For the GT S, the engine is enhanced by the fitment as standard of a Sports Exhaust to amplify the crossplane V8 beat.
