Here’s some very nice, high-definition footage of the new Bentley Continental GT V8 being driven hard at the Silverstone by Bentley heroes Juha Kankkunen & Guy Smith. The V8-powered GT might seem like a discount version of the Continental for those who cannot afford the full-fat model, but it so isn’t. It has 500hp, it does 0 to 60 in under 5 seconds, and it costs £122,000, which is still a lot. Visual changes are so discrete an uninterested eye won’t be able to tell it apart from the W12 Conti. It is a proper Bentley.
