PRESS RELEASE:
This recent creation by Bentley Motors, the latest in the generation of Continentals, provides all that you would expect from the iconic brand; from exhilarating power to an effortless driving experience. Although the car provides the status and extraordinary lifestyle due to any Bentley owner, it’s not like the typical Bentley vehicle. Boasting a more youthful, contemporary and fashionable style, the Continental GT V8 is exciting and adventurous encouraging its driver to explore its extensive range of astounding features and enjoy the experience of driving, whenever and wherever the destination.
The new 4.0 litre, twin turbocharged V8 Continental GT coupé achieves exceptional standards in the high luxury sports car sector allowing the driver to experience maximum power and provide an exhilarating performance up to a top speed of 303km/h. The South African market is yet to experience a car of this caliber that can provide the lifestyle where in the moments of driving an individual can be transported to a world of 5 star luxury and ultimate comfort.
The Continental GT V8 commands respect from the instantly recognisable roar of its engine to the distinguishable black gloss matrix grille with chrome frame and centre bar displaying a red enamel Bentley ‘B’ badge. The sporty and contemporary attitude of this car can be seen inside and out from the unique chromed ‘figure eight’ exhaust tailpipes in the rear to the modern Dark Fiddleback Eucalyptus veneers.
The model also commits to the increasingly important issue of the environment delivering a 40 per cent improvement in fuel efficiency and CO2 emissions. The Continental GT V8 achieves some of the most outstanding levels of fuel efficiency in the luxury performance sector exhibiting the ability to travel over 800km on a single tank of fuel.
Combining state of the art features and muscular character with Bentley’s iconic image and incorporating a wealth of knowledge since the original GT launch in 2003, the Continental GT V8 is top of its game. The W-12 Continental range boasts over 50,000 sales worldwide, making Bentley’s factory in Crewe, England, the largest producer of 12 cylinder engines in the world.

I’d roll with the windows down, around town, without a frown.. bringing in as much noise as possible from that monster of a V8. I’d drive it as much as my petrol budget can handle! What an awesome looking car, just beautiful.
I would drive around with the windows down, and the system blaring Mandoza or Tkzee. Showing gang signs at passersby. Maybe throw some Dubstep in the mix. And of course I will need to go to Burger Fair Drive In, because nothing makes a R25 burger taste better than eating it in a R2,5 million car.
You don’t need to do anything the car ‘speaks’ for itself, the destination? now that is the question, I will most probably take a relaxed drive along the coast, windows down and soak it all in…..
I will just climb in and start driving with no final destination. Will drive along the coastline, open the windows a little bit, so that I can hear the V8. It will just be me, the tar road and the sound of the V8.
The Bently is the ultimate statement in style, slip it inot cruis control, hit the camps bay strip, enjoy the envious stares as you roll on by, then rev the V8 engine!
Well, to start off, I would just sit in it and let it idle and listen to the orgasmic sounds of the engine! After a while, when Im able to drive, I’d roll down the windows, turn the music up and cruise around Cape Town. When the road allow it, open it up and see what the power of the car can actually do!! Racing lines all the way baby!!
Congrats Mia. You will be mailed.
I would roll out with my head held high, following the road wherever it takes me. Experiencing the Bentley is the thrill of the destination and the pleasure of the journey all in one.
I’d probably take a cruise through to Somerset West, up Sir Lowry’s pass, and through the mountain roads of Grabouw. All in all a fantastic set of roads to feel the handling and power of the Bentley. Certainly a privilege to see what the combination of English and German vehicle technical prowess can do.
Kwaaaaa!
I don’t ‘roll’ in a Bentley. With that much class, the car speaks for itself. No flashiness necessary, but being the beautiful woman in the driver seat does make it a lot of fun 
I want to roll in the Bentley like Beyonce and Jay Z in the Bonnie and Clyde music video – just me and my boyfriend in this sexy, stylish and exclusive ride. He will definitely be driving because he will probably think I won’t be able to handle its powerful V8 twin turbo engine
We would drive along the Garden Route (the most beautiful highway for the most amazing car) wearing our aviator lenses and soaking up the luxury of the drive, hearing the sound its thumping engine and experiencing the Bentley’s power to its full glory! I’m also environmentally conscious, so the green credentials of this vehicle, makes it the only luxury car I would be proud to roll in 
I love the Bentley kind of lifestyle, all things luxury.
I’d cruise along the Camps bay strip with big sunnies, rolled down windows and a fat smile! Suck on that-you wanna be model bitches lol!
