Bentley Continental GT
Contrary to what you may think, the Continental GT is not a sports car. Rather, it’s a grand touring car. It was designed to transport four passengers in complete comfort at very high speeds for hours at a time. But some people always want more: for them, there’s the Continental GT Supersports. It’s a four-wheel-drive beast equipped with a 700-horsepower, 12-cylinder engine capable of sprinting form 0 to 100 km/h in 3.5 seconds, thank you very much.
