The Bentley Continental GT represents the best of British, with a sumptuous hand-crafted interior, a hybrid powertrain with close to 800bhp, and an exquisite exterior resplendent in gorgeous dark green paint. Better yet, this is a fully loaded First Edition model of the new, fourth-generation Continental GT.
It’s luxury on another level, so for your chance to win this fantastically opulent grand tourer, worth over £250,000, an elegant house worth over £4,000,000, and £250,000 cash, enter the Omaze Million Pound House Draw, Bath, by New Year’s Day.
This two-door, four-seat Bentley is a grand tourer in the traditional sense, with the aura that you could stuff its big boot full of luggage and cross continental Europe in a single day.
But, while that might well be true, beneath the gorgeous dark green exterior is a cutting-edge hybrid powertrain, and the wood- and leather-lined interior is in fact packed with technology that appears at the touch of the button.
All-in-all, this Bentley Continental GT offers a wonderful duality.
Let’s start with that hybrid powertrain. It combines a 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8, plus an electric motor and a 25.9 kWh battery. The peak outputs of 782hp and 738 lb ft make this the most powerful Bentley ever; 0-60 mph can be achieved in just 3.1 seconds, and the top speed is over 200mph.
And yet, the engine is wonderfully smooth and refined, so you can purr around calmly and gracefully if you wish. Or, better still, use the e-mode, which allows for up to 50 miles of near-silent EV range. The choice is yours, as you can drive on petrol, electricity, or a combination of both.
It means the Bentley Continental GT has no peers. No other grand tourer can match the unique combination of near-silent serenity, the sudden turn of speed, or the overall impeccable sophistication.
Then you get to the interior. The craftsmanship is unmatched, and attention to detail is exquisite. Take the leather that lines the cabin: it’s hand-picked from herds that graze high above sea level in Northern Europe, so all the hides are naturally free of the insect bites that could otherwise blemish the material.
In this particular car it’s predominantly in Bentley’s ‘Saddle’ hue, which contrasts superbly with the ‘Barnato’ green exterior. The leather covers nearly every surface, with innovative techniques used, such as the ‘3D diamond’ effect on the doors. The supple hide is also on the seats.
Speaking of which, the driver and front passenger sit on 20-way electrically adjustable thrones, with heating, ventilation and massage modes, plus Postural Adjust and Auto Climate functions to minimise fatigue. They even have electric headrests and heated armrests!
Appearances can be deceiving though, as behind the lashing of leather and walnut wood sit the very latest technologies. This fully loaded First Edition model has a head-up display, night vision, a whole suite of driver assistance systems, plus wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, too.
The amazing 2200-watt, 18-speaker Naim sound system deserves a special mention as well – and it is made better still by the laminated acoustic glass that reduces exterior noise.
But how do you control it all? Well, at the touch of a button the central section of the dashboard rotates, to reveal a 12.3-inch HD display. It’s a wonderful surprise-and-delight feature you’ll never tire of.
The list of amazing attributes goes on and on. You can summon the car out of its parking space using your phone, the ‘B’ badge in the centre of the 22-inch wheels always remains upright, and the Performance Active Chassis features all-wheel drive, air suspension and an active anti-roll system – so you can waft serenely along or drive this big Bentley like a sports car.
It’s a truly wonderful grand tourer, and if you enter the Omaze Million Pound House Draw, Bath, by 1st January 2025, this fantastically opulent Bentley could be yours. And that’s not all. You’ll also have the chance to win an elegant house in Bath worth over £4,000,000, and £250,000 in cash.
And the best part? You'll be helping British Heart Foundation fund local defibrillators and The Circuit, the national defibrillator network keeping hearts beating in communities across the UK.
