2013 Bentley Continental GT

The 2013 Bentley Continental GT. One of the most luxurious cars to ever hit the road. This V8 model is a newer model of the 2012 GT which is a 12-cylinder, so this has a little less power and the price is also lower. The engine is tuned to produce 500 hp at 6000 rpm and 487 lb-ft of torque at 5000 rpm. It will send power through an eight-speed automatic transmission to its all wheel drive drive-train system. The power numbers aren�t all that far from the 567 hp and 516 lb-ft produced by the twin turbo 6.0-liter engine currently in the Continental, and neither is Bentley's prediction of a close five second 0 to 60 mph and a top speed over 180 mph. They're also saying that this model will be a good deal lighter, which also will help improve fuel economy, and also they're adding the new cylinder deactivation system that turns four out of the eight cylinders off when it's carrying light loads. Since this model still produces almost as much at the 12-cylinder model, it might end up being the preferred model to race or to drive on test courses since it is a lot lighter. I love the looks of this car. Somehow Bentley was about to put a great amount of class and still have a fast look to it also. And then they add all this power, it just makes the ultimate luxury car. The cost for this car is around $185,000.
