Crewe-based car marque Bentley had decided to go with the Goodwood Festival of Speed as their top festival to show off their new model. This was not a decision taken lightly and the festival visitors who had snagged tickets were excited to see what type of car it was. Rumour had it that it was a new version of the Continental GT. Bentley had named it the Continental GT Speed and it was one of Bentley’s cars that were racing during the tournament.
First of all, the twin turbo V8 engine was a delight to watch in action because of how fast it commanded and how fast the car Experts believe that if it was a new version of the GT, there were plenty of treats in store for drivers and spectators at the event. From a buyer’s viewpoint, it makes complete sense that Bentley would release a new model of a car at this festival. The Goodwood Festival is where hardcore fans of motoring come to enjoy what is on offer, and they will offer truthful opinions on how the car looks and performs. If Bentley is aiming for stellar reviews, presenting at the festival is critical for success.
Some insiders thought that Bentley were using this new model of the GT to temper against the potential backlash for its SUV concept car which was to also be shown at the festival. Whatever the reason, the new GT sounds like a fresh idea that will inspire a new generation of motoring fans.
