Bentley Continental Review, For Sale, Specs, Models & News in Australia

If you read Bentley’s marketing material, you’ll find there’s reference to the Continental offering an “unrivalled road presence”. That seems pretty much spot on, as the Continental coupe and convertible models will not just catch your eye, but spin you on your spot as they drive by.

The looks are just one part of the equation, though. The Continental offers striking interior finishes and technology, four seats capable of holding adults, and the choice of a 6.0-litre twin-turbo V12 engine or a 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8.

The Bentley Continental range is priced from $346,268 for the entry-level V8 coupe, through to $626,474 for the V12 convertible version.
