Bentley Continental GT
Germany and England are now allies. Case in point: the Bentley Continental GT (including the GTC convertible) shares its platform and 542-horsepower, twin-turbo V8 with the Porsche Panamera. There’s also a 6.0-litre W12 engine producing 650 horsepower. However, the latter is scheduled to end production in April of 2024. Elegance, comfort and a silent ride are highlights of the Continental GT, which starts just shy of $300,000 and tops $465,000.
