“Our new V8 S models are an exciting addition to the Continental family. The increased power and torque combined with dynamically-focussed suspension sharpen the performance capabilities of our V8 grand tourers with no compromise to the luxury and quality that all Bentleys typify.
These are cars with huge character and agility, enhanced even further by a distinctive V8 soundtrack,” said Dr Wolfgang Schreiber, Chairman and Chief Executive of Bentley Motors. The new GT V8 S coupe and convertible arrive in Bentley dealerships from early 2014.
