In the latest episode of Doug DeMuro's review, he takes a deep dive into the 2024 Bentley Continental GT Edition 8, signaling the end of an era for gas-powered Bentleys. Priced at a hefty $260,000, this special edition model boasts unique features like blacked-out trim, exclusive color options, and eye-catching 22-inch wheels. Inside, the car oozes luxury with its Palm fluting design on the seats and high-quality materials throughout the cabin.
Doug explores the interior, highlighting the customizable infotainment screen, traditional buttons for climate control, and a $4,300 engine-turned aluminum finish that adds a touch of vintage elegance. Despite the tech upgrades, the car retains a classic feel with its array of buttons and switches, catering to old-school Bentley enthusiasts. The infotainment system, while shared with other Volkswagen group products, impresses with its responsiveness and user-friendly layout.
While Doug expresses his admiration for Bentley's craftsmanship, he admits a preference for the W12 engine over the V8 due to the latter's slightly peaky performance. He anticipates the upcoming hybrid V8 to deliver a smoother and more powerful driving experience, aligning better with Bentley's luxury performance standards. Overall, the 2024 Bentley Continental GT Edition 8 serves as a fitting farewell to the gas-powered era, paving the way for Bentley's foray into hybrid and electric models in the near future.
