Bentley Continental GT
When it comes to exclusivity, Bentley is making all the right moves with its Continental GT Coupe, which is, as of this year, offered as a cabriolet, the GTC. This grand touring car can also become a veritable race car, since its W12 engine releases no fewer than 600 horses. Built for the affluent, these models offer all the luxury and comfort that you’d expect to find in such a prestigious car.
