CarExpert's Take
Anthony Crawford
Senior Road Tester
Anthony Crawford drove this car and these were their findings:
Hits
- Superior chassis-control systems make this an exceptional handler
- It's noticeably more imposing, both in styling and noise
- Bentley interiors personify pure opulence
Misses
- Be prepared for a harsher ride
- Lacks some cool features of Continental GT like the rolling screen
- Carries a significant premium over the standard Bentayga V8
