The 2019 Bentley Continental GT has recently stepped out of the auto show realm and into the real world. We've brought along a fresh example of this, with the Grand Tourer having been spotted in London.
As you can imagine, the lavish coupe caused quite a stir. After all, its elegant shapes, which have been created using aluminum superforming techniques, simply can't be ignored.

The standard palette of Bentley colors offers no less than seven shades of green and it looks like the one we have here is the good old British Racing Green.

635 hp and 664 lb-ft (900 Nm) of torque, that's the output of the twin-turbo 6.0-liter W12 engine hiding under the hood of the Crewe automobile. Nevertheless, the busy traffic that defines the British capital meant the driver didn't get to use too much of it.

Now, you might be wondering what happens when the official details are left behind and we get to the real-world stuff. Well, we've recently brought you a review of the 2019 Conti and, for instance, we can tell you that the thing gets 22 UK mpg combined.

It's worth noting that the British machine isn't perfect. In fact, the said review did point out a few quirks and chuckles of the machine, which were mostly related to the interior. Then again, one shouldn't rush to the conclusion that the new Continental GT is anything else than an automotive gem.

P.S.: If you happen to be in a hurry, you should know that the Continental GT sighting awaits you at the 6:10 point of the clip. Nevertheless, the rest of the video is also packed with glorious machine, so we recommend checking it out. For instance, two of the four-wheeled jewels that can be found in the video are a Singer Porsche 911 and a Bugatti Chiron. Still not impressed? Perhaps you'll find your fetish in the footage.
