2017 BentleyContinental GT Speed For Sale

The Bentley GT coupe with the V8S is the most fun car to drive every day. The technology is terrible. Backup camera may not go on until I have already started going forward. While it is a 2015, the electronic technology is closer to a 2005. The interior is beautiful as well. This is my 3rd continental, I have owned for 1 year and I leave at the golf course 3 days a week. Mechanically it appears to be bullet proof. I also have a Rolls Royce ghost and does not come close to the quality of the Rolls.

I have been fortunate to have owned many cars, and many high end offerings from Germany, the UK and Italy at that. When I bought my Bentley GT Continental, I considered (and drove) an Aston Martin DB9 and Mercedes CL63 AMG. I had owned both an Aston and AMG car before so expected to favor one of those over a car which was being described as a tuned up VW. Fortunately I drove all 3 the same day. The decision was an easy one at that point, the Bentley was the clear winner in performance, driving dynamics, and overall impression. The Aston was gorgeous and Benz solid, but the Bentley got my nod, from the moment I sat in it, and it sealed the deal within 5 minutes of driving it. Now years later, the Bentley remains as one of the most amazing cars I have ever driven. My current stable includes an Aston, Ferrari, R8, and a few others. If I could only keep one car, it would be the Bentley. In a straight line, particularly from 50-150, it's 12 cylinder 552 horses can keep pace with just about any supercar. Yet it can seat 4 adults and haul a lot of luggage and it would do so in a classy style only Rolls Royce can match. There is something special about Bentley design and fit and finish. It oozes classy luxury. Driving it is an occasion, the smells and feel evoke a feeling of being spoiled and pampered. Some expensive cars don't feel expensive, this one does. Usually this GT takes you from A to B in style, comfort, and quiet. But when your sporty gene flares up, just pop it into sport mode, tighten the suspension settings, watch the spoiler go up and you are in a rocket ship. Its AWD also makes it even better in the wet compared to its competition. Lookswise, only Aston' DB9 is prettier among GT coupes. To boot, Bentley has outstanding customer service, unlike any other maker I have ever seen (save perhaps Aston's). Overall, this is a car that has no competition in its class in my view and when it comes time for me to replace it, it will be with the exact same model.

This model is one of the first batch of GTCs shipped to Florida for their introduction in 2007 They received numerous inspections at the factory in the UK befitting a dramatic and spectacular new model. Most of the shipment were in the colors considered the most outstanding, namely Silver Lake(light metallic blue) exterior with Saffron hide interior. This Car has the very comprehensive specification of these Show Models, plus the addition of 22inch diameter chrome/silver lake wheels. It has had the benefit of an average of less than 2200miles per year plus the enhancement of entry in Concours de Elegance events which entails continued attention both inside & outside. It is immaculate.
