The most conservative country in the world, an example of stiffness, classicism and adherence to established traditions, is the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. One of the best education systems in the world, a quality product called “English football” and excellent high-class cars are what these islands are famous for far beyond their borders. The envy of other states is caused by luxurious four-wheeled vehicles, the production of which is famous for the United Kingdom. The birthplace of the fantastic Bentley Continental GT is also England.
The history of this steel symbol of wealth and power dates back almost a hundred years. In the distant 1919 the opening of the legendary company Bentley Motors took place. Like many great concerns, this organization was named in honor of its founder, Walter Owen Bentley. The motive for creating the company was Walter's brilliant idea to use pistons to improve engine performance. The best practices for the introduction of the test engine were successful: after the war, the first Bentley Experimental No. 1 racing device was released, which was the great-grandfather of all the cars of this company, including the Bentley Continental GT. Successful tests laid the foundation for the development and formation of the brand that is currently popular.
Without thinking twice, immediately after the opening of the company, Walter releases the first brainchild equipped with a three-liter engine. For this, it was nicknamed "Bentley 3 liters." This baby, who conquered the public with her design and characteristics at an exhibition in London in 1919, was born on the famous Baker Street. Thanks to this steel “swallow”, for the first time in the world, a car began to be characterized based on its volume, not power.
After a while, "Bentley" was absorbed by the giant automobile monster Rolls-Royce, which is famous for its "tame" luxurious beauties. This company has focused on the development of the brand towards the best performance for sports cars. It is believed that Rolls-Royce is a representative car for traveling with a driver, and Bentley is for a wealthy car enthusiast.
Having traveled a long and hard way to gain a special position in the global car market, at the present stage, any of the cars of this company, for example the Bentley Continental GT, is a chic testimony not only to the luxury and wealth of the owner, but also his love of speed. This rule follows the German concern Volkswagen, which took this brand under its cozy wing after the reorganization of Rolls-Roys.
The Bentley Continental GT saw the light of day in 2006, stunning the audience with its features and unique design. It was this "steel" beast that became the prototype for the creation of subsequent generations of cars produced by stiff, but adoring luxury British. Exclusive design, luxurious shapes and soft bending of the body - this is the external beauty that attracts motorists so much. From under the hood of the Bentley Continental GT, a herd of 560 horses, whose character is curbed by a six-liter powerful W12 engine, is breaking free. Feel one with this bright and unique car helps automatic six-speed gearbox equipped with tiptronic.
Bentley Continental GT Speed was also created on the basis of this powerful and fast-moving device. As planned by manufacturers, this particular model will become the fastest convertible in the world. The obstinate powerful steel monster, developing a top speed of up to 330 km / h, will be the last in the Continental line.
