Jaime Ochoa: This is the Bentley Continental GT S V8. Under the hood, it has a four-liter V8 that produces 541 horsepower. This car is not for introverts. 0 to 60, less than 4 seconds. Top speed, 198. But despite having GT in its name, this car isn't just about straight-line speed. In fact, it is very, very comfortable.
One of my favorite things about the Bentley Continental GT is the interior. Every last inch of this car is covered in leather or nice brushed aluminum or metal. These knobs are metal. These little parts of the dashboard, this part of the dashboard is leather. This part is Alcantara, but everything is very soft to the touch. Everything feels great, including the seats, which have a really nice function. Let me teach you.
So to access the massage seats, all you have to do is basically press the Home button. And through these prompts on this side, all you have to do is go to the massage settings. Press Massage Type and you have all these different functions that basically do almost the same thing but lead to the exact same result: relaxation.
There's a space up there where I could probably try this. Well, all I have to do is put it in reverse and hopefully, please, please, now these are real cars. Oh my god, he's doing it. He is doing it. That's a bit of an extreme angle. No way. No way.
Okay, we have a little bit. We have a little space. My hands are off the wheel. And my foot is only on the brake. That is incredible. That he is sick.
In the last few days, I came to know a lot about this car. And I can tell you that it is an absolute pleasure to drive.
