2012 Bentley Continental GT review: 2012 Bentley Continental GT - CNET
The folks at the Bentley plant, experts in wood, polished metal, and leather coachwork, now have to set a touch-screen LCD among these natural materials. Even in the $200,000 Continental GT, it comes off as an uneasy partnership. The cabin of the 2012 Continental GT tested by CNET sports tasteful metal buttons and dials. The color of the leather lining the cabin of CNET's car was called Beluga, something to which potential buyers of this car can relate. And those cars cost a lot less than the Continental GT. Volkswagen owns Bentley, so there is no mystery about how this navigation system got into the car. But what looks fine in a $25,000. Where the Continental GT's cabin electronics really excel is in the Naim Audio system. Audio is an area where electronics and luxury have progressed hand in hand, and Bentley partnered with one of the best. -based Naim Audio produces audiophile-quality amps and CD players, and designed a system with 1,100 watts and 11 speakers for Bentley.
