2020 Bentley Continental GT vs The Cheapest Continental GT You Can Buy

This is the new 2020 Bentley Continental GT V8 and today it meets its elder, the 2007 Bentley Continental GT, which costs 49,995 CAD (37,950 USD), about 7 times less than the new one. Both are big luxury cars and they represent the peak of Bentley's finest coupe offering. So considering there's been 13 years of advancement since it hit the streets, can the old one stack up? Is the new one worth the massive premium? James and Thomas jump behind the wheel of both to experience them and discuss them inside and out. Watch and enjoy!

As the driver of a 2006 Continental Flying Spur (bought in 2015 with 56,000km on the odometer), they are NOT expensive to maintain as long as the owner is diligent in doing the regular maintenance. These are well put together cars and as Thomas pointed out, everything in the interior is well still rock solid and doesn't snap, crackle and pop like my 2011 Jag XJ. Interestingly, on my 2006 Bentley the headliner is starting to sag and the hood shocks are also in need of replacing, but these are minor (and well known) issues on an otherwise gem of a car.

It's the exaggerated rear haunches of the new GT that makes it, in my opinion, the best looking luxury car in production. Looks like they took inspiration from the 2006 Continental GTZ by Zagato. This new GT is so handsome It actually passes for a classic car, and that's the highest praise I can offer because, let's be real, nobody will ever make a car prettier than an existing classic. Citroen DS, Jag E-Type, Jag XKSS, Corvette C3 Stingray, Delahaye 135 / 165, Aston Martin DB4 GT Zagato, Porsche 356 Speedster, Maserati A6, Maserati Birdcage, Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale, Alfa Romeo BAT Concept Trio, Talbot Lago, Mercedes 300SLR, Rolls Royce Phantom 1 Jonckheere Coupe, Ferrari 250, Ferrari 275GTB, Bugatti Type 57SC, etc, etc, etc.
