The Bentley Continental GT S range has claimed The Robb Report’s ‘Car of the Year’ and top honors at the prominent competition for luxury vehicles.
According to the magazine, more than 175 readers and judges – along with its editorial staff – evaluated cars in five unique categories: looks, performance, luxury and comfort, utility, and intangible tiebreakers such as ‘wow-factor’ and collectability. In the end, the Bentley Continental GT S topped the field of more than 10 cars to win ‘Robb Report’s Car of the Year.’
“It’s fitting that both the Continental GT model and Robb Report’s Car of the Year are celebrating 20th anniversaries, as each have become benchmarks in their own right,” says Paul Croughton, Editor in Chief of Robb Report. “That Bentley has taken our top honor two years in a row reflects its commitment to excellence and our readership’s knowledge and experience with the finest cars in the world.”
This is the fourth overall win for Bentley since the contest began. The previous winners for Bentley were the Continental GT in 2004, the GT Convertible in 2007, and the GT Speed in 2022.
“Twenty years since its launch, Bentley’s Continental family continues to define the pinnacle of the Grand Touring segment,” Adrian Hallmark, Chairman and CEO of Bentley Motors, states. “Consecutive wins for different models of Continental GT with Robb Report’s decisive Car of the Year judging is testament to the strength of the family, and the character and performance of the new S range. Extraordinary cars like these, independently recognized as being the best in the world, are at the core of Bentley’s record performance in 2022 despite so much turbulence in the industry.”
