 | | 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). |
