The second generation of the Bentley Continental GT was launched in 2011 as a 2012 model. However, the V8 S variant was introduced later, specifically for the 2014 model year. Here is a detailed summary of the features and specifications of this powerful grand tourer:

Design and Features:

  • The Continental GT V8 S boasts a sleek and sporty design with subtle styling cues that differentiate it from the standard Continental GT.
  • Its exterior features include a unique front bumper, side skirts, and rear diffuser, all designed to enhance aerodynamics and visual appeal.
  • Inside, the V8 S has a cabin that's similar to other Continental models but with distinct touches such as Alcantara-wrapped steering wheel, sports pedals, and sporty seat upholstery options.

Performance:

  • The 2014 Bentley Continental GT V8 S is powered by a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine.
  • This powerplant produces an impressive 521 horsepower at 6,700 rpm and 515 lb-ft of torque from 1,700 to 5,200 rpm.
  • It enables the vehicle to accelerate from 0-60 mph in just 3.8 seconds.

Interior Features:

  • The cabin is luxurious with premium leather upholstery options, available with unique stitching patterns for a custom look.
  • There's ample space for occupants and luggage alike due to its generous interior dimensions.
  • Infotainment features include an 8-inch touchscreen display with navigation, Bluetooth connectivity, and a 10-speaker sound system.

Trim Levels:

  • The Continental GT V8 S was offered in three main trim levels during this period: the base model, the Speed edition (which added unique styling elements), and the Mulliner edition for those who wanted the ultimate in bespoke luxury.
  • Each trim level included a range of options that allowed buyers to tailor their car to fit their specific needs and tastes.

Suspension and Wheels:

  • The V8 S is equipped with an adaptive damping system (ADS) that automatically adjusts its stiffness according to driving conditions for a smooth ride or improved handling as needed.
  • Its standard wheels are 20 inches in size, but larger sizes were available as options.

Safety Features:

  • Standard safety features on the Continental GT V8 S include traction control, electronic stability control, and six airbags (front, side, and curtain).
  • It also features a parking aid system and rearview camera for added convenience.

Warranty and Maintenance:

  • The Continental GT V8 S comes with Bentley's 3-year/36,000-mile warranty program.
  • Regular maintenance was recommended every 12 months or 12,000 miles, whichever came first.

Price Range (2014-2018):

  • The base price of the Continental GT V8 in its first year ranged from around $198,000 to over $213,000 for the Speed and Mulliner trims.
  • Prices could go up significantly with options added or custom specifications chosen by buyers.
