The new BentleyMotors Continental GT S gets no more power than the regular V8, but subtle tweaks make it the pick of the range -
Crunching big miles easily in a Conti GT is a given and, in a world of unreliable short-haul air travel, having the keys to an S might have you pointing its nose in the opposite direction from the airport when heading for the Continent. A road such as the B660 isn’t a great arena for it, not that you would expect it to be. Despite that lighter V8, the nose can be slow to respond and tuck in, the body finally giving in to its bulk, knowing it’s a battle lost.
However, in the middle ground on roads that ebb and flow, encourage momentum and allow a car to breathe and build to a gallop, the GT S reveals its winning hand. It’s now that the steering delivers its best weighting and rate of response, the eight-speed ZF and twin-turbo V8 striking up a seemingly irreproachable partnership.
