Bentley Continental GTC 4.0 V8 500

The Bentley Continental GTC 4.0 V8 500 reaches 60 mph in 4.45 s (100 km/h in 4.72 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 13.06 s, tripping the lights at 105.5 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 1.89 s and the eighth mile in 8.35 s, reaching 100 mph in 11.77 s.

Simulated, not measured — computed from published kerb mass, rated power, gearing and drivetrain, then fitted to this car’s own published acceleration figures. Dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

About the Continental GTC 4.0 V8 500

The 2011 Bentley Continental GTC 4.0 V8 500 is an all-wheel-drive turbocharged saloon 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 1.89 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 1,603rd quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest quarter, and the 44th quickest of the 70 Bentleys here. Its 105.5 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 2 of 2 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the Bentley Continental GTC 4.0 V8 500 0-60 time?
The Bentley Continental GTC 4.0 V8 500 reaches 60 mph in 4.45 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 1,603rd quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Bentley Continental GTC 4.0 V8 500 quarter mile time?
13.06 s at 105.5 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 8.35 s and clears the first 60 ft in 1.89 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Bentley Continental GTC 4.0 V8 500 have?
500 bhp and 2,470 kg, which is 203 bhp per tonne. It is all-wheel-drive, turbocharged, with 8 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 GTC 4.0 V8 500?
Closest here on pace: Audi S4 B8 (2012) (4.47 s), Mercedes-AMG SL43 (4.48 s), Pontiac G8 GT (4.54 s). Each one can be raced against the Bentley Continental GTC 4.0 V8 500 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 GTC 4.0 V8 500 is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 2 of its 2 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
