8 Bentley Continental GT cars for sale

It’s fair to say that choosing between the Continental GT’s V8 and W12 engines is as much about experience as anything else. There’s not a great deal between them in terms of performance - what’s three tenths from 0-62mph between friends? - and the difference between the V8’s 23mpg and the W12’s 20mpg is going to matter little to most owners too. But they do sound and feel quite different, the V8’s lighter weight making it slightly more of a driver’s car, and the W12 offering the kind of culture and refinement that only twelve cylinders can. As for specification, take your pick; all are magnificent in their own way.

Used Bentley Continental GT fuel economy and performance

• Bentley Continental GT 4.0 V8: Consider the V8 less ‘entry level’ and more an alternative to the W12 - it still has 550PS, and gets from 0-62mph in four seconds despite all that weight to pull. Combined economy is 23.3mpg.
• Bentley Continental GT 6.0 W12: The W12 is still the ultimate Continental GT experience, with 650PS from that unusual engine layout, 0-62mph in 3.7 seconds, and a taste for unleaded at 20.6mpg.

What used Bentley Continental GT trim levels are available?

• The Bentley Continental GT is as comprehensively equipped as you’d expect from a Bentley, with everything from air suspension to matrix LED headlights and seven standard paint colours - plus enormous potential for customisation when new.
• The Bentley Continental GT Azure adds luxury to an already luxurious car, with extra chrome exterior trim, 22-inch wheels, a panoramic glass sunroof, and Azure badging throughout.
• The Bentley Continental GT S takes some cues from the Speed model, including dark-tinted trim for the headlights, gloss black 22-inch alloy wheels and other exterior details, and piano black interior wood trim.
• The Bentley Continental GT Speed comes only with the W12 engine, and gets several styling tweaks and bespoke interior finishes, as well as cornering-enhancing four-wheel steering.
• The Bentley Continental GT Mulliner is the ultimate Continental GT, available with either engine, and getting unique interior and exterior details, quilted leather upholstery, and a head-up display, plus a bespoke interior clock.

Used Bentley Continental GT road tax

With a list price many times the government’s £40,000 threshold for a higher vehicle tax rate, the £600 annual VED bill shouldn’t be too much of a shock to Continental GT buyers. The fact that from the car’s seventh year on the road it drops to a lower rate, with no surcharge, will still be welcome though.

How much is it to insure a Bentley Continental GT?

As unsurprising as the GT’s tax costs is the fact that every model in the range sits in the maximum insurance group 50 - and given the car’s expense, premiums will surely cost a little more than some ‘lesser’ cars in the top group too. All models are safe and secure though - GPS tracking is standard, for instance.
