Driven: 2013 Bentley Continental GTC V8

On the road, the GTC wasn’t quite so freight-train-like as a full-tilt W-12 or Speed model. Don’t be mistaken, the wave of torque that this engine could produce was admirable and easily accessible.

After a week with this sports tank, we’ve decided that having more than two youngsters running about might not be so bad for a gear-headed parent.
