Bentley continues to tinker around with the Continental GT, this time taking the wraps off its latest creation, the Continental GT Mulliner. It’s a new top-of-the-line variant that slots above the Speed, Azure and S variants. It’s powered by a 659PS W12 engine – the most powerful 12-cylinder engine in the Continental GT lineup.
What makes the Bentley Continental GT Mulliner the fastest Continental GT?
The Bentley Continental GT Mulliner has electronic all-wheel steering and Bentley Dynamic Ride – a three-chamber air suspension system with adaptive damping settings. It also comes with ceramic brakes, variable stability control (ESC) and an electronic limited slip differential (e-LSD) for torque vectoring.
The 6-litre W12 petrol engine has twin turbos and a 659PS and 900Nm output. It’s paired with an all-wheel-drive (AWD) system which offers a balanced split in “Bentley” and “Comfort” modes, but rear-biased torque delivery in “Sport” mode.
Flat out, the Bentley Continental GT can scoot from 0-100kmph in just 3.6 seconds, and on to a top speed of 335kmph!
Bentley Continental GT Mulliner Features
The Continental GT Mulliner isn’t just the quickest, but also the most feature-loaded sports coupe (and convertible) in the carmaker’s lineup. It gets bespoke three-colour upholstery with “diamond in diamond” quilting on the seats, doors and rear side panels.
The centre timepiece on the dashboard is an exquisite analog Breitling clock which contrasts with the digital driver’s display and infotainment touchscreen.
