New Moonbeam 2023 Bentley Continental GT V8

A new 2023 Bentley Continental GT V8 from Rusnak arriving at and leaving the 2023 San Marino Motor Classic at Lacy Park. Finished in silver (Moonbeam) with 21" Five Tri-Spoke wheels and Beluga interior, this car is equipped with over $45,000 of factory options including Touring Specification, Continental Blackline Specification, Bentley Rotating Display, and Panoramic Glass Roof. It was for sale at Rusnak with a total price (MSRP) of $284,430.00.

The first-generation Continental GT was an instant hit when it was introduced over two decades ago, and with each new generation Bentley has made vast improvements in pretty much every way. The current third-generation car is unquestionably beautiful, and thanks to the endless list of available factory options, your new GT can be wild enough to attract cameras wherever you go or conservative enough to slip under almost everybody's radar. This example certainly leans toward the latter, with its base-level trim and unpretentious color combination. I'm frankly a bit surprised Rusnak chose to display it at the event, since it probably doesn't do much in terms of drawing attention for advertising purposes. (For the record, last year the dealer brought out an MC20 supercar, a green Ghost Black Badge, and a pink Continental GT to the same event.) But sometimes true luxury is meant to be appreciated by only the most discerning, and contrary to what Hollywood makes us believe, there are wealthy people who want to enjoy luxury amenities without being in the spotlight. The options alone on this Continental cost more than many new cars, and most of them are centered around personal enjoyment rather than outward appearance. So if you're looking for a $280,000 ultra-luxury grand tourer that makes you feel like a celebrity without attracting the paparazzi, here's the perfect car for you!
