The price of a Bentley sports car starts around $200,000 for a base model Continental GT and can easily exceed $300,000, with high-performance and custom Mulliner editions reaching well over $400,000. The final cost is highly dependent on the specific model, powertrain, and extensive customization options available. Unlike mass-market cars, a Bentley's price is just the beginning, as bespoke personalization can significantly increase the total.
The primary sports car in Bentley's lineup is the Continental GT, available as a coupe or convertible (GTC). It's powered by a formidable W12 engine or a V8, with a plug-in hybrid option recently introduced. Above it sits the track-focused, limited-production Bacalar and Batur, which are multi-million dollar coachbuilt masterpieces.
Here is a breakdown of the starting Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) for key models, which does not include destination, tax, title, or license fees:
| Bentley Sports Car Model | Starting MSRP (Approx.) | Key Performance Spec (0-60 mph) | Engine Configuration |
|---|
| Continental GT V8 | $218,000 | 3.9 seconds | 4.0L Twin-Turbo V8 |
| Continental GT Speed | $245,000 | 3.5 seconds | 6.0L Twin-Turbo W12 |
| Continental GTC V8 | $239,000 | 4.0 seconds | 4.0L Twin-Turbo V8 |
| Continental GTC Speed | $267,000 | 3.6 seconds | 6.0L Twin-Turbo W12 |
Owning a Bentley also involves considerable running costs. Maintenance programs, insurance for a high-value vehicle, and fuel consumption are significant factors. For the ultimate expression of performance, the Batur (priced around $2 million) and Bacalar (around $1.9 million) represent the pinnacle of Bentley's engineering and craftsmanship, but are produced in extremely limited numbers.
