The facelifted `Continental GT II` concentrates everything Bentley had learned since the modern range was launched. The car gains visual definition, better perceived quality and more dynamic polish without ever giving up its role as a large, opulent grand coupe. `V8` and `W12` versions complement each other well, while `Speed` and `Supersports` derivatives add real mechanical brutality to a package that was already very fast.
A Maserati GranTurismo still feels lighter in character, but the facelifted Continental impresses with its ability to erase distance in total serenity. The `W12` keeps the nobility and power reserve that define the model, whereas the `V8` makes the car feel more mobile and often more credible for frequent use. In every case, the `ZF 8` gearbox, air suspension and all-wheel drive completely determine the overall quality.
