  Bentley Continental GT - RSportsCars.com
It is true that today some dedicated supercars are capable of producing performance similar to that of the GT coupe; likewise there is a small number of large coupes capable of carrying four people in comfort.
The design specification for the GT coupe was that it must not only house the hardware safely to realize 190 mph plus performance – including a 6-litre, twin-turbocharged, 12-cylinder engine – but that it must also carry four people.
The design specification of the GT coupe allowed that a family of four and their luggage should be able to cross a continent in comfort, style and luxury.

 Bentley's Continental GT Coupe....2004   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
The Continental GT was designed and engineered by Bentley at Crewe and will be manufactured there in all-new facilities which combine state of the art technologies with the unique hand finishing and attention to detail that have been the hallmark of all cars to wear the winged 'B'.
The Continental GT is indeed fitted with a rear spoiler, but it is skilfully integrated into the design of the car, where the rear screen meets the bootlid; it is for the most part invisible, deploying automatically when high speed merits additional downforce.
The design brief for the Continental GT was as simple to state as it was difficult to realize: Create a car with as much room as the most spacious coupés on the market, equip it with the performance and responses of the world's most dynamic supercars, and retain the whole within compact dimensions.

 Bentley Continental GT review
The Bentley Continental GT represents the relaunch of the Bentley marque under its new ownership.
The Bentley Continental GT was named '2004 Car of the Year' by The Robb Report, who said, in bestowing the honor 'no other high-performance vehicle [that] delivers this amount of security at speed and this level of distinction, elegance, and comfort.' I agree with their choice and comments.
The Bentley Continental GT is as different to a regular mass produced generic car as an executive Learjet is different to a four-seater Cessna.

 2004 Bentley Continental GT - First Look & Review - European Car Magazine
Of course, that is relative; the Continental isn't as low slung as some high-performance cars, but it seems so because the traditional Bentley driving stance is more imperious, in the same manner as a Range Rover, where the driver and passengers survey other road users from loftier chairs.
Essentially the Continental GT is a three-seater for long hauls; about-town commuting with friends would be achievable but not without some discomfort and compromise by all four occupants.
The first and enduring impression of the GT is the weight of the steering; don't be misunderstood, the steering doesn't require California governor-sized muscles, but you are conscious that it's a 5,258-lb car.

In the rear of the Continental GTC the centre console finishes with a veneered panel just behind the front armrests, therefore leaving the rear seats as an uninterrupted surface of leather hide, optimising the maximum space for the proportion of the car.
The Continental GTC is powered by Bentley’s magnificent W12 twin-turbocharged 6.0-liter engine, which will propel the car to 60 mph in 4.8 seconds and on to a top speed of 195 mph.

The new Continental GT's air suspension, coupled with four-wheel drive and the car's weight of almost 5,300 pounds, lends the feeling of riding on a cloud, with touches of a battleship and a bullet.
Not only is the Continental GT a better deal (it costs $100,000 less than the 612 will); it also beats the 612 in horsepower (551 vs. 540) and torque (479 pound-feet vs. 434 lb.-ft.).
While building 5,000 GTs annually, the company's volume could go as high as 9,000 to 10,000 cars per year, including other models (the Arnage is Bentley's only other car, but a sedan companion to the GT--with a similar front end, interior and price--is due out in the first quarter of next year).
