Bentley Continental Submodels
The modern Bentley Continental GT, launched in 2003, was a landmark vehicle. It was the first model developed entirely under Volkswagen's ownership and introduced the 6.0-liter twin-turbo W12 engine that would become a brand hallmark. Its combination of massive performance, all-wheel drive stability, and handcrafted luxury redefined the grand touring segment and brought Bentley to a wider, younger audience.
Collectors appreciate the Continental for its compelling value and performance. Early W12 coupes have depreciated to accessible levels, offering a tremendous amount of car for the money. More desirable variants like the higher-performance GT Speed and the hardcore Supersports models are sought after for their enhanced dynamics and relative rarity. Convertibles (GTC) and later V8-powered models offer different flavors of the same luxurious experience.
The market for Continentals is broad, with an average sale price of $65,911 across 874 sales. The majority of transactions involve first-generation (2003-2011) cars, which represent the market's entry point. Second and third-generation models, particularly low-mileage examples or special editions from Mulliner, command significantly higher prices and retain their value more effectively.
Buying Tips
- Check the air suspension system for any sagging at the corners, as leaking air springs are common and expensive to replace.
- A complete service history from a reputable specialist is critical. Deferred maintenance on the W12 engine, transmission, or brakes can lead to catastrophic repair bills.
- Test all onboard electronics thoroughly. Complex systems like the infotainment screen, keyless entry, and power seats can be costly to diagnose and fix.
- Due to the car's significant weight, inspect tire and brake wear carefully. High-performance tires and large brake components are expensive consumables.
