Wolfgang Dürheimer, Chairman and CEO for Bentley Motors, comments: “For almost one hundred years, Bentley has been at the forefront of luxury Grand Touring. Our new, third-generation Continental
GT is an example of how each Bentley is designed, engineered and handcrafted to perfection, and this award is testament to the hard work of our talented and devoted workforce in Crewe.”
At the heart of the new Continental GT sits an all-new, enhanced version of Bentley’s renowned 6.0-litre, twin-turbocharged W12 TSI engine, mated, for the first time, to a dual-clutch eight-speed
transmission, for faster, more efficient gear changes.
