We expect a luxurious cabin from anything wearing the Bentley badge, and this two-door is no different. For more information about the Continental GT's fuel economy, visit the EPA's website. In our real-world testing, we averaged 28 mpg in a V-8 model during our 75-mph highway fuel-economy test. The EPA rates the Continental V-8 at 16 mpg city and 26 highway. When a twin-turbo V-8 is the most fuel-efficient offering in a particular model, you know that efficiency is not top of mind for the carmaker-or its customers, for that matter. Bentley Continental GT Speed at Lightning Lap 2022.2022 Bentley GT Speed Is a Sharper Continental.Bentley Continental GT, Flying Spur Get Dressed Up.More on the Continental GT Coupe and Convertible And all Continental GTs come with an all-wheel-drive system standard, which helps put their prodigious power to the road absent any drama. Customers can order the coupe or convertible with either engine. Both engines work through an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission that snaps off quick, smooth shifts. The same engine has been tuned up to 650 hp in the Speed model, and we estimate it can reach 60 in as little as 3.1 seconds. The more expensive 6.0-liter W-12 engine produces 626 horsepower in non-Speed models and can motivate a coupe to 60 mph in 3.3 seconds. Our testing revealed that the 4.0-liter V-8, which makes 542 horses, can launch the 4926-pound coupe to 60 mph in 3.4 seconds. Updated versions of the existing V-8 and W-12 engines that powered the previous-generation Continental GT provide muscle-car performance. And while we like the wind in our hair as much as anyone, we'd choose the coupe because the arching roofline ties together the car's style so elegantly we find it irresistible. It's only at very high speeds the W-12 engine's increased horsepower makes a difference. Bentley's V-8 is a finely polished gem that gives up peak horsepower to the W-12 but makes for a coupe that's virtually as quick and agile in real-world conditions. We prefer the Continental GT coupe, and we'd stick with the standard twin-turbo V-8 engine.
