This is the 2024 Bentley Continental GT Edition 8 and it is the end of the fully gas-powered Bentley. Today I’m reviewing this Bentley Continental GT and I’ll show you the many quirks and features. I’m also going to get behind the wheel and show you what it’s like to drive.

The 4.0 litre, twin-turbocharged V8 combustion engine that powers the Continental GT, Continental GTC and Flying Spur occupies a unique position in Bentley history. To honour its legendary status, three incredible new V8-powered editions have been created: the Continental GT Edition 8, the Continental GTC Edition 8 and the Flying Spur Edition 8. Unlike any other production Bentleys, the Edition 8 cars bring together an unprecedented combination of features and exquisite finishes.
The unique status of each car is conveyed by its Edition 8 exterior badge, situated on the D-pillar of the Flying Spur Edition 8, and on the fenders of both the Continental GT Edition 8 and the convertible Continental GTC Edition 8. All cars feature a choice of 22” wheels, each of which is supplied with a self-levelling Bentley ‘B’ wheel badge at its centre. You can choose any exterior colour from Bentley’s Extended Paint Range, giving you more than 60 colours to choose from – and every car features the Blackline Specification as standard.

As you settle into the cabin, you will no doubt notice the unique Edition 8 inner treadplates in stainless steel. What awaits you inside is a cabin unlike any other. Each seat is embroidered with the ‘Edition 8’ emblem, making the status of your car clear to everyone fortunate enough to step inside. In the centre of the dashboard sits the stunning Bentley Rotating Display.
