2024 Bentley Continental Coupe

Perfection is elusive for some and impossible for most, but the Bentley Continental GT's interior seems to be as close as you can get. The expert craftspeople at the Crewe factory use only the best materials. From flawless leather hides to delicately bookmarked wood veneers, there's a sense of occasion when you step inside, along with an intoxicating mix of rich scents that remind you of a well-appointed parlor. There's also a sense of reassuring heft in the knurled metal knobs and switchgear that give the impression that they'll last for decades. In essence, the Bentley Continental GT makes you feel like a million bucks for a quarter of the price.

At this level of luxury, there are few competitors to the Bentley Continental GT. Rolls-Royce has the new all-electric Spectre, and it's sure to rival the Bentley in terms of workmanship and materials. The redesigned Maserati GranTurismo adds some sleek and sexy Italian style to the class and costs a lot less than the Continental GT. For a distinctly British interpretation, the Aston Martin DB12 and DBS are also worthy alternatives. But just like the Maserati, they're not as opulent or comfortable, but they are more exciting to drive.
