大陆GT V8的外部recognizable; this is the car that instantly springs to mind when the Bently brand is mentioned. Although the design has been updated over the years, Bentley's designers are like those at Porsche, only adding subtle refinements to the model with each new generation. Not that it needs anything radical - the bright chrome matrix front grille and four LED Matrix headlights continue to imbue a sense of tradition alongside technology. A chrome accent line runs from a vent in the front fender, but this can be blacked out. The headlight surrounds, grilles, and other chrome accents like the ones around the windows can also get the same treatment. 21-inch wheels are standard, but you can have 22s if the mood takes you; these are standard on Mulliner edition. At the rear, oval LED taillight housings and a retractable trunk spoiler help the vehicle look elegant while the quad pipes hint at the car's performance. A panoramic glass roof is available as an option.
The Continental GT is bigger than it looks in pictures, but it's dimensions aren't so bad that parking the car is a chore. Length measures 190.9 inches from end to end with the wheelbase at 112.2 inches. Width is similarly expansive, with a measurement rating of 77.4 inches when the mirrors are folded and 86.1 inches when they're fully extended. Height is quoted at 55.3 inches while curb weight on the V8 starts at 4,763 pounds.

You have a huge selection of colors when you buy a Bentley. While most manufacturers would consider 10 hues to be generous, Bentley offers nine different shades of black alone, and 19 blues, nine greens, 14 silvers, and more. Blue options include colors like Portofino, Sequin Blue, and Windsor Blue, but you also get access to colors like Bronze, Camel, Orange Flame, and Rose Gold. Green hues include Apple Green, Midnight Emerald, Verdant, and British Racing Green 4. The more adventurous among us may prefer something like Azure Purple or Candy Red by Mulliner, while the true extroverts may find happiness in the daring crimson of St. James Red in a pearlescent finish by Mulliner. Monaco Yellow is also quite a loud shade, but we recommend something a little less conspicuous like Tungsten or Extreme Silver if you don't like a lot of attention.
The new S models come with blacked-out exterior goodies, including a black gloss radiator matrix grille with black surrounds and dark-tinted front and rear lights. The Azure specification gets its own palette and bright chrome accents.
