The Details
This 2020 Bentley Continental GT W12 presents in Onyx over a Linen interior, showing 9,396 miles from new in First Edition specification — a designation reserved for the opening allocation of the third-generation Continental GT, distinguishing early production examples with an elevated standard specification and a set of exclusive appointments not available through the conventional options catalog. The car retains its original window sticker and books and manuals, and has been maintained through a combination of authorized Bentley dealer and independent specialist service.
Power comes from Bentley's 6.0-liter twin-turbocharged W12 engine, producing 626 horsepower and 664 lb-ft of torque, paired with an 8-speed dual-clutch transmission and all-wheel drive. The W12 remains the definitive Continental GT powertrain — a uniquely engineered twelve-cylinder configuration that delivers effortless, wave-like torque across the entire rev range while remaining entirely composed at motorway speeds. The third-generation platform brought a significant chassis and dynamic overhaul over its predecessor, with a new double wishbone front suspension arrangement transforming the car's handling refinement and driver engagement relative to the generation it replaced.
The Continental Blackline Specification replaces the car's bright exterior chrome elements — window surrounds, matrix grille, exhaust finishers, and body trim — with gloss black equivalents, producing a darker, more cohesive exterior presence against the Onyx paintwork. Red painted brake calipers provide a considered counterpoint, visible through the wheels and adding a subtle performance visual cue against the otherwise restrained exterior palette.
Diamond Knurling is applied to the interior's metal control surfaces — the rotating HVAC fascia, gear selector, and ancillary switchgear — a detail executed through a precision machining process that references traditional watchmaking and silversmithing craftsmanship, and one that rewards close inspection in a way that photographed specifications rarely convey. The Naim for Bentley audio system provides reference-grade sound reproduction, purpose-built for the Continental GT's cabin architecture. Contrast seat belts introduce a further accent within the Linen interior, while the heated steering wheel rounds out a specification well-suited to year-round use.
This Continental GT W12 First Edition represents a low-mileage, well-documented example of Bentley's most complete grand tourer — a car that balances genuine performance with an interior material quality and specification depth that remains unmatched at its price point in the current market.
