2020 Bentley Continental GT V8 For Sale With Just 54,000 Miles

The third-generation Bentley Continental GT carried the torch

If anything, it's an understatement to say that a Bentley grand tourer is one of the best ways to spend a long road trip. The Continental GT has been one of the marque's halo models since 2003, offered as both a two-door coupé or convertible with four seats. It was the first model produced by Bentley after it was acquired by Volkswagen AG in 1998 and the first to use mass production manufacturing techniques in its production. The third-generation Continental GT debuted in 2018, and this particular 2020 Bentley Continental GT V8 is for sale right now on Exotic Car Trader. You can check it out by clicking here.

The new Bentley Continental GT was lighter than its previous generations by over 170 pounds, had a longer wheelbase by more than 5 inches, featured a 48-volt roll-control system, a new 6.0L W12 TSI engine, as well as a significant interior overhaul that included an industry-first rotating display. Adding to the list of firsts for Bentley was the use of the "Super Formed process," which uses high heat rather than stamping to form aluminum panels with more complex and sharply defined body lines. It doesn't take more than a glimpse to see the fruits of Bentley's Super Formed labor, with more body lines and sculpted haunches than any generation before it.

For those who wanted a little less rowdiness with their British class, Bentley introduced the Continental GT V8 in 2019, with a 4.0L twin-turbocharged V8 mated to the same 8-speed Porsche PDK dual clutch transmission, rather than the 6.0L W12. The loss of four cylinders didn't make the Continental any less of an athlete, with a 0-60 mph time of 3.9 seconds and a blazing top speed of 198 mph courtesy of its 542 hp and 568 lb-ft of torque.

This well-specced example can now be yours

This particular 2020 Bentley Continental GT V8 demands attention from any angle, finished in a gorgeous Dark Sapphire color with a wild contrasting Hotspur/Beluga (red/black) leather interior. The diamond quilting throughout the cabin draws your eyes to the sweeping piano black dashboard that gracefully meets the door panels, with plenty of tactile knobs, switches, and buttons. The headrests on all four seats proudly display the Bentley "Flying B" in the same shade of Hotspur, reminding occupants that they are in the presence of automotive royalty. The centerpiece of the aforementioned opulent masterpiece of a dashboard is the rotating display, able to switch between two different screens or a plain black panel, creating an uninterrupted panel that nearly spans the length of the Continental GT's cabin. It's a tremendous addition from both an engineering and aesthetic point of view, pleasing both those who want to keep tabs on every tidbit of information in their vehicle, as well as those who value sleek, unrivaled class.

This example benefits from a number of optional packages, including the City Specification, which adds a Top-View Camera, Traffic Sign Recognition, Hands-Free Trunk Opening, Auto-Dimming Mirrors, and Reversing Traffic Warning systems, the Mulliner Driving Specification, which adds the aforementioned diamond quilting, knurled controls, sport-tuned suspension, and special wheels, as well as the Continental Blackline Specification, which blacks out certain chrome elemnts like the grille and headlights surround rings.

The 4.0L twin-turbocharged V8 under the hood has just over 54,000 miles on it, ensuring that all 542 horses are ready to be unleashed at a pedal's notice. There's no reason why a suave grand tourer can't snap your neck at the same time if given the opportunity. After all, what happens when you encounter those ever-so-tantalizing curves on your cross-country road trip?

Final thoughts

One might say that the third-generation Bentley Continental GT was the last to carry out the design cues that made the model a spectacular icon. Sure, the overall look carried over when the fourth generation debuted in 2024, but the quad headlights that had been around for 21 years at that point were replaced by more "regular" dual headlights, if that's a term that can be used with a Bentley. Regardless, if this 2020 Bentley Continental GT V8 tickles your fancy —and frankly, it would be hard for it not to —it can be yours for $118,000. Considering the model's debut MSRP of $211,683 without any of the desirable options of this example, that's a relative bargain just five years after it was sold new.
