Bentley Continental GT S bags 2023 ‘Best Grand Tourer’ award from Robb Report

The Bentley Continental GT S won the 2023 “Best Grand Tourer” award from American luxury lifestyle magazine, Robb Report. 

The newest accolade marks the fifth honor that Bentley has received from Robb Report’s “Best of the Best” awards, which is considered the premier marker of achievement in the luxury industry for the past 35 years. 

Bentley’s previous awards from Robb Report include the “2023 Car of the Year” for the Continental GT, the “2022 Best Grand Tourer” for the Continental GT Speed, the “2022 Best Interior” for the Flying Spur Hybrid, and the “2017 SUV of the Year” for the Bentayga. 

“We are thrilled for the Continental GT S to receive this recognition by Robb Report, and just months after being awarded Car of the Year. The Continental GT has been the pinnacle of luxury performance for the last 20 years by providing its passengers with world-class performance, comfort, and striking design,” Bentley Americas President and Chief Executive Officer Christophe Georges commented. 

The third-generation Bentley Continental GT S is powered by a 4.0-liter V8 engine that produces around 540 horsepower and 770 Newton-meters of torque. Additionally, it gets Sports Exhaust as standard, which amplifies the crossplane V8 beat as it zooms from zero to 100 kilometers per hour in just 4.0 seconds. 

“We are very happy to recognize Bentley’s Continental GT S as our Best Grand Tourer amongst this year’s ‘Best of The Best’ winners. On behalf of Robb Report, we would like to congratulate Bentley on this prestigious award.  The Continental GT S is an impeccable and unmatched fusion of true luxury and incredible performance,” said Robb Report President Luke Bahrenburg. 

Likewise, Robb Report Editor in Chief, Paul Croughton, praised the Bentley Continental GT S for its “unparalleled balance of interior artistry and comfort, brute power, and sublime performance.”
