We say Continental GT ticks all the boxes if you're a dotcom millionaire; a tad nouveau riche but still a fearsome performer.Performance 6.0-litre 12-cylinder engine in the Bentley Continental is huge and powerful, providing a minimum of 575bhp and 516 lb-ft of torque. Top speed a mere 198mph; 0-62 in 4.4 seconds. The Supersports is even quicker.Emissions Let’s just say you’ll be off Greenpeace’s Christmas card list.Driving The Continental GT offers a fairly firm ride, but it's agile too. But the Continental GT does weight the best part of 2.5 tonnes – and while the four-wheel drive chassis ensures there’s acres of grip it’s not the most fun £100K+ out there.Feel Adjustable dampers mean the ride can be firmed up for sporty driving, but the Continental GT is best at offering a luxurious ride.Space The Conti GT has plenty of room upfront with a large boot for the sector at 358 litres and even decent space in the back for adults.Equipment The Bentley Continental GT offers tons of kit.Price Prices start from around £140K and go north quickly. Tax will be off-the-scale. Insurance by 'special quotation'. At the higher end of 'special', we'd guess. Depreciation is a problem for expensive luxury cars – expect the Continental GT to suffer accordingly.Quality The Continental is swathed in beautiful materials inside and out, though it’s a curiously odd take on British luxury by way of Stuttgart.Safety Loads of airbags, traction and stability control – plus four-wheel drive – should keep the Bentley on the straight and narrow.Pros Great performance, style and comfort.Cons Rear is a little cramped, depreciation may be a problem.Alternatives Mercedes CL, Aston Martin DB9
