About the Continental GT V8 Convertible Mk II

The 2012 Bentley Continental GT V8 Convertible Mk II is an all-wheel-drive turbocharged coupe of 2,470 kg with 500 bhp, which works out at 203 bhp per tonne. All-wheel drive is worth most in the first car length: it covers 60 ft in 2.04 s, which is where a four-wheel-drive car takes its margin out of a rear-drive one with the same power. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 1,322nd quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest tenth, and the 33rd quickest of the 70 Bentleys here. Its 111.0 mph trap speed sits about where its 0-60 puts it, so it launches and pulls in roughly equal measure. The simulation is trimmed to 9 of 11 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the Bentley Continental GT V8 Convertible Mk II 0-60 time?
The Bentley Continental GT V8 Convertible Mk II reaches 60 mph in 4.22 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 1,322nd quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Bentley Continental GT V8 Convertible Mk II quarter mile time?
12.76 s at 111.0 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 8.26 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.04 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Bentley Continental GT V8 Convertible Mk II have?
500 bhp and 2,470 kg, which is 203 bhp per tonne. It is all-wheel-drive, turbocharged, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 301 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Bentley Continental GT V8 Convertible Mk II?
Closest here on pace: Porsche 718 Cayman (4.18 s), Mercedes-AMG SLC 43 (R172) 3.0 V6 367 (4.22 s), Lotus Evora 3.6 V6 350 (4.20 s). Each one can be raced against the Bentley Continental GT V8 Convertible Mk II in the panel at the top of this page. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every figure on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. The Bentley Continental GT V8 Convertible Mk II is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 9 of its 11 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

Figures regenerated 2026-10-12. Every number on this page is computed by the simulator at build time, so the page and the app can never disagree.
