The New Bentley Continental GT Is The Mother Of All Luxury
The new Conti GT is a completely different car than before, starting from its behavior that although not giving up maximum comfort – once set the chassis in “Sport” allows you to keep the gas down, no matters if a corner is too tight or if the next one requires a sudden shift in weight. Unthinkable things, aware of the fact that I find myself on board one of the most impressive coupes on the list today. But this Bentley doesn’t stop doing great things, it’s not just sexy or able to shoot a gear one after the other like the most traditional super sports cars, it’s a grand tourer and as such is the monkey on the shoulder that prefers the longest road, so as to make me choose an unscheduled detour, thus moving away from the small group that was leading the way for me and my travel companion. The background of the radiant Sardinia region has now passed on the background and without even realizing it my eyes are only for the big hood, always ready to rise up, almost like a gorilla ready to fight for the control of its territory. I forgot good manners home and I am completely driving as if I were chased by a herd of wild wolves. In reality, there are 626 horses that are pawing in front of us and they are felt every time they are called into question, untiring and unrelentless.
