The eCityofStyle.com judges stated, "The Bentley Continental GT combines the company's delicate craftsmanship with cutting-edge technology to make it the fastest four-seater coupe available in the world. The car's twin-turbocharged 12 cylinder engine produces an astronomical 550 hp. The car also has a six-speed automatic transmission, racing-inspired steering wheel paddle shifters, and the company's first all-wheel-drive system. The design includes an aerodynamic and muscular body featuring a long hood, drilled aluminum pedals, chrome instruments, strong rear fenders, top quality leather and wood throughout the cabin, and the company's signature matrix mesh grille."
