Bentley's design philosophy for the Continental GT can be quantified as follows: the car must have a short front overhang and an overtly dominant bonnet expressed by the unusually large distance between the front axle line and the A-pillar.
Bentley is one of few car manufacturers to retain seat design as an in-house field of excellence, and anyone who has travelled any distance at all in a Bentley knows how important this area of design is to the marque.
Bentley knows that many of its customers will want to turn the electronics off from time to time and they need to be certain that even without these aids, the Continental GT's handling remains supremely secure and capable.

Bentley Mulliner's expertise in bespoke interiors does not mean attention is taken away from the critical design and engineering requirements of such a complex car.
Rolls-Royce and Bentley Motor Cars bought Mulliner in 1959, merging it with the Park Ward concern to form its own coachbuilding division, called Mulliner Park Ward in 1961, and it is this company from which today's Bentley Mulliner is directly descended.

 2003 Bentley Continental GT Personal Commission - Bentley Motors
Bentley Motors is delighted to present the all-new Continental GT Design Concept at the 2003 North American International Auto Show.
And while the Continental GT is a Bentley from bumper to bumper, the role of the company's Volkswagen parent can scarcely be ignored: it was only the £500 million vote of confidence placed in the marque by VW that brought the 20-year old dream to reality.
That said, as the most sporting Bentley in the company's post-war history, the Continental GT is a driver's car and Bentley's chassis engineers are aware that not only must the chassis have the ability to match perfectly the engine's phenomenal output, it must provide it in a way that indulges its driver.
