Bentley Continental GT
This Bentley has proved to be a stroke of genius for Volkswagen, who owns the classic British automaker. Using production mechanical components from Volkswagen, engineers have succeeded in producing a coupe whose very attractive lines explain its popularity. Add a special W12 engine and you get a recipe for success. After the coupe, Bentley launched a sedan and a convertible. And now, they offer us yet another variant, the Speed, which is even more extreme.
