Bentley Continental GT Speed - The Sunday Times

Sport submitted on 9/3/2007 Official AutoSpies Timestamp: 3:43:00 PM

I enjoyed the epic shove of its 6 litre twin-turbo motor and admired how well it stuck to my chosen line through long sweeping bends but I was also aware I was driving it quickly because that is what the job required me to do: for myself I’d have been as happy to ease off the throttle, turn up the stereo and flick on the cruise control.
