Bentley Continental GT Sales Data & Trends
The last decade has been nothing but awesome for Bentley in terms of sales success and it has all largely been driven by the Continental GT. To give some perspective, the Bentley factory is the largest producer of the W12 engine globally, 66,537 have been built since the introduction of the Continental GT in 2003. And boy what a year 2003 was. The first generation Bentley Continental GT was named the most significant production car design at the NAIAS eyes on design awards, since then the car has won numerous awards including Grand Tourer of the Year award by Top Gear magazine, and is twice winner of the ‘Classic Car of the Future’ award from Motor Klassik magazine. It was a sales success almost overnight, propelling the brand to over 10,000 sales per year.
Recent years have been tough on the model, largely due to lack of investment. The Continental GT hasn’t really changed much other than some small facelifts and the introduction of the Continental GT V8 S. In 2018 things get more interesting again, but Bentley seems to have created a cracking GT that amps things to 11.
Bentley finally unleashed the third-generation Continental GT. The exterior styling is heavily based on the EXP 10 Speed 6 concept (that’s to say it is absolutely stunning), while the interior gets some of the features and materials seen in the SUV. Bentley also took the new 6.0-liter W-12 that it launched with the Bentayga and dropped it under the Continental GTs hood with revised internals and other drivetrain components. All told, the new Continental GT is sportier, quicker, more powerful, and more luxurious than the outgoing model. Can the update help Bentley get to its stated goal of doubling sales to 20,000 units per year by end of the decade? Based on what we’ve seen of the new GT, we say this is going to be another runaway sales success.
