Bentley Continental GT - the luxury of prim English

The most conservative country in the world, which is an example of stiffness, classicism and commitment to established traditions, is the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. One of the best education systems in the world, a quality product called "English football" and excellent high-end cars - that's what these islands are famous for far beyond. Enormous envy of other states is caused by luxury four-wheeled vehicles, the production of which is famous for the United Kingdom. The birthplace of the fantastic Bentley Continental GT is also England.

The history of the emergence of this steel symbol of prosperity and power is almost a hundred years old. In the distant 1919 the legendary company Bentley Motors was opened. Like many great concerns, this organization was named after its founder, Walter Owen Bentley. The motive for the company was Walter's ingenious thought of using pistons to improve engine performance. The best experience in the implementation of the test engine was successful: after the war, the first experimental vehicle, Experimental Bentley No. 1, was born, which was the great-grandfather of all the cars of this company, including the Bentley Continental GT. Successful tests laid the foundation for the development and development of the now popular brand.

Without thinking for a long time, immediately after the opening of the company, Walter releases the first brainchild, equipped with a three-liter engine. For this, it was nicknamed "Bentley 3 liters". This little girl, who won the audience with her design and characteristics at the exhibition in London in 1919, was born on the famous Baker Street. It was thanks to this steel "swallow" that for the first time in the world the car was given a characteristic, based on its volume, not capacity.

After some time, "Bentley" was absorbed by the giant automobile monster Rolls-Royce, which is famous for its "hand-held" luxurious handsome men. This company has focused on developing the brand in the direction of the best characteristics for sports cars. It is believed that the Rolls Royce - this is a car of a representative class for trips with a chauffeur, and Bentley - for a wealthy motorist.

Having passed the long and hard way of winning a special position in the world car market, at the present stage any of the cars of this company, for example the Bentley Continental GT, is a magnificent testament to not only the luxury and prosperity of the owner, but his love for speed. This rule is followed by the German concern Volkswagen, which took the brand under its cozy wing after the reorganization of Rolls-Roys.

Bentley Continental GT was released in 2006, stunning the public with its characteristics and unique design. It was this "steel" beast that became the prototype for the creation of subsequent generations of cars produced by prim, but British-loving luxury. Exclusive design, luxurious forms and soft bending of the body - this is the exterior beauty that attracts car enthusiasts so much. From under the bonnet, the Bentley Continental GT is torn to the will of a herd of 560 horses, whose temper is restrained by a six-liter powerful W12 engine. The automatic six-speed gearbox equipped with a tiptronic helps to feel one with this bright and unique car.

On the basis of this powerful and fast device, the Bentley Continental GT Speed was also created. As planned by the manufacturers, it is this model that will become the fastest convertible in the world. The obstinate powerful steel monster, which develops a maximum speed of up to 330 km / h, will be the last in the Continental line.
