Vehicle Description
It's hard not to immediately think about how it's amazing a car
like this 2005 Bentley Continental GT is priced within reach. After
all, it was over $150k when new (that's over $230k in today's
dollars) and its sleekness, luxury, and W12 power can still put
most other cars to shame. But since it's often impolite to talk
about money, we'll try to refrain from mentioning the value and
just stick to the overall impressiveness of this coupe.
Silver is one of those timeless colors, and so it looks ideal on a
timeless symbol of the upper class. But while the name Bentley is
steeped in traditional luxury, they took time to make sure the
Continental GT would stand out as unique and modern for quite some
time. That's because lesser automakers would never be able to
create such a clean and intricate coupe. It's in the way the chain
mesh grille fits into the hood, the shape of the headlights have a
faint echo in the fenders, and the tail lights smoothly fit into
the rear curve. This showcases the elegance that comes from taking
the time to craft a vehicle, and the terrific finish gives it all a
precious metal kind of glow. But the Continental GT is also a true
sports car, and the designers made sure to integrate that feeling
to be subtle yet straightforward. You see that in the flowing flare
of the rear fenders, wide chrome exhaust tips, racing-inspired
20-inch alloys, and a fastback profile with a true pillarless
hardtop design. We would never dare call this a muscle car, but it
certainly looks muscular.
The black interior has a harmonized look against the silver
exterior, and so it even feels luxurious in the color combo. The
diamond stitch pattern in the supple leather, sporty touches of
chrome, and real wood trim tastefully inserted throughout are all
part of an understanding that it's easy to add luxury, but it's
difficult to make it look graceful. And one of the big reasons a
Bentley of this era remains such a great upper-class machine is
because of the level of amenities you have. This includes dual-zone
automatic A/C climate control, power windows, power locks, keyless
entry/alarm, power mirrors, cruise control, dual front airbags,
heated seats, and a premium infotainment system with satellite
navigation. The driver's seat has both memory power adjustment and
a power tilt steering column, and the leather-wrapped steering
wheel has all your essential functions for a true command position.
And as a large and proper grand touring coupe, even the rear seat
is accommodating. Individual seats, wood trim, a center console,
and proper legroom mean carrying more than one passenger was not an
afterthought at Bentley. By the car's age and mileage, there are
some signs of use. It's basically on expected things like a little
wear in the high-traffic areas of the driver's seat and a few
plastic pieces that would need replacing if you wanted perfection.
But overall, nothing breaks the spell of Bentley's magic mix of
luxury and performance.
The heart of Continental's success as a top-tier sports car is the
6.0-liter twin-turbocharged W12 motor with 551hp. Swift is the best
way to describe a car like this because the fully independent
suspension and six-speed automatic transmission are engineered to
handle speeds approaching 200 mph, but it never loses that
comfortable and controlled feeling you expect in a Bentley. It's a
true exotic-level machine, and that's why you also have full-time
all-wheel drive, power steering, four-wheel power disc brakes with
ABS, and grippy Michelin Pilot Sport tires to keep this feeling
confident on any road you take.
