00:00This is the 2024 Bentley Continental GT Convertible.
00:07Bentley is a classic super luxury car.
00:10The heritage of bespoke car making goes back a hundred years or more.
00:14On the Continental GT here, we see a lot of classic details.
00:18That round Bentley shape that we find not only on the headlights, but also inside the car.
00:23And those classic Bentley taillights.
00:26But if you really want that classic look and feel, get it while you can.
00:31Because in 2025, the Bentley Continental is getting a makeover.
00:35The model that we're looking at is powered by a twin-turbo V8 gas-powered engine.
00:41Much love for its power and for its throaty sound.
00:45But those who really love it better get it now.
00:48With the 2025 model, that V8 is going to be replaced by a plug-in hybrid.
00:53The V8 engine in the Bentley Continental GT, as well as V12 in other Bentley models,
00:59are really a hallmark of luxury.
01:01Because even though they are not performance cars, they're not built for the track,
01:05the ability to tap the accelerator and go quickly is luxury.
01:10When you buy a Bentley, you don't just go to the dealer and pick out a color.
01:14You actually work with their design team to assemble the entire interior.
01:19And they'll also help you to pick colors, textures, metals that go with your personality,
01:25that complement your lifestyle.
01:27In the model that we're looking at, this is a very beach-inspired model.
01:32With the azure blue on the outside, the denim leather on the inside,
01:37the cream color that's sort of a sand hue.
01:40And then there is wood that might remind you of sea oats or might remind you of seashells.
01:46And then there's black gloss, complemented by all the chrome.
01:50It feels like a watch band or a piece of jewelry that's been handcrafted.
01:55We see it on a lot of the controls on the center console.
01:59The rims of all the dials are covered in textured metal.
02:02We even see textured metal on the steering wheel and on the stocks for the windshield wipers and the turn signal.
02:08On the center console, there is the Bentley badge in the middle of the gear selector.
02:13The stop start button is right here in the center of the console.
02:16And you can turn the dial on the stop start button to set your drive mode from sport, B, comfort, or custom.
02:24And this allows you to customize your drive setting.
02:27And then the controls for the convertible top are right here.
02:31Probably the most popular feature in every Bentley is this.
02:36You ready?
02:38This instantly gives the Bentley a very old school heritage feel.
02:44You have a magnetic compass here.
02:47We have gauges on either side.
02:50So we can maybe pay attention to things that are going on with the engine or just feel like we are.
02:56And then when we want to see the screen, we can tap that button again and we get our multimedia screen.
03:04We have more functions here.
03:05You can customize the car here.
03:08That's the setting for the head-up display.
03:10This particular version has night vision and Bentley Safeguard.
03:15It's going to prevent you from crashing into the car in front of you.
03:18And then you can use this to turn on your massage seat.
03:23Both front passengers have a massage seat.
03:26On the steering wheel, we have drive assist features over here.
03:30And you can actually customize your driver display by toggling through using this dial.
03:37And then you just press it for OK when you find something that you like.
03:41On this side, we have voice assist and this allows us to select our media over here.
03:47As well as turn on the heated steering wheel.
03:50The Bentley Continental GT convertible starts at $320,000.
03:54Our test model has $45,000 worth of options.
03:57Including stitching, piping, and other interior details for a total price of about $370,000.
04:04A lot of luxury and exotic cars are really only intended for driving on special occasions.
04:09That is not the case in the Bentley Continental GT.
04:12This is designed to live your luxury every day.
04:16There's two seats in the back if you need to bring passengers.
04:19There's a sizable trunk.
04:20It's probably not going to fit luggage for four.
04:22But it will fit a couple of tote bags for a weekend away.
04:25But there's ample space for the driver and passenger to put down the top and let the wind flow through their hair.
