Continental GT [Official] Bentley Continental GT (Third generation, 2018-

Least it hasn't got Bugs Bunny fangs, LOL!

The CGT is less appealing now that DB12 match it for interior design but looks less bloated on the outside. I wonder if the Bentley will look more bulky as an EV.

I can't even imagine Bentley as an electric car at all.

A mistake imo. Ferrari and Aston are continuing with 12-cylinders.

I think Bentley was quite happy with the V8 demand when the power plants were offered next to each other.

I’m sure but demand isn’t the sole point imo. There is the prestige/status factor.

Sure, I understand the prestige appeal of a 12 cylinder, but 12 cylinder Bentleys were more of a recent thing introduced under VAG's ownership. When it comes to Bentley, even a) if they offered the W12, and b) if I had the means, I'd likely go the lighter-nosed V8 in a Conti. In an FS, that's a bit of a toss-up. Oddly enough, in an A-M, I'd want the V12 DBS over the AMG-sourced V8. Not because AMG make an inferior V8, far from it, rather the V12 is relatively more bespoke. When it comes items like this that are in the upper-upper-end strata, logic dictates very little, it's all much more emotional.


Also, I'd imagine that, if it's not now, later on, the W12 would be an absolute pain in the ass to service.

I don’t Bentley owners worry about service.

Servicing and maintenance concerns are mainly for would be Bentley-owners who are asking themselves whether a used $60k W12 Bentley is a bargain of the century or a financial grenade that will go off unexpectedly.

I’m talking about new cars. Anyone buying a used Bentley can’t possibly think either engine will be cheap to service. Anyways it’s irrelevant to the point I was making.

The Bentleys may be happy, but what about the users?

They wouldn’t be users if they didn’t like it.
