STORY

The Continental GT, launched in 2003, was the first all-new Bentley of the Volkswagen era and transformed the company's fortunes with far higher volumes. It introduced a twin-turbo 6.0-litre W12 and all-wheel drive in a modern grand tourer. Successive generations have added V8 and hybrid powertrains while retaining the W12 as the flagship.
