Bentley Continental GT Mulliner (3rd Gen)

The Bentley Continental GT Mulliner creates an unusual split in the Dream Car Garage rankings: it reaches the top 17% for top speed, yet sits 244th of 600 cars for 0-100 km/h acceleration. That contrast reveals a Hyper GT shaped around a broader idea of performance rather than a single headline number. Its 333 km/h top speed places it 101st across the entire catalogue, while its 3.7-second 0-100 km/h time is still faster than 356 cars here, showing that outright pace is only part of its position.

The standout fact in this collection is not simply its speed, but the combination behind it. The Continental GT Mulliner is one of only 12 cars in the catalogue using a W12, and one of 12 pairing that engine layout with AWD. With twin-turbocharging, 5,950 cc of displacement, 626 bhp and 900 Nm of torque, it occupies a very specific corner of the 600-car landscape. It is also one of just 11 twin-turbocharged W12 cars in the catalogue, making its technical formula distinctly uncommon within this set.

That specification places the 2020 Continental GT Mulliner in a different conversation from cars that chase acceleration rankings alone. Its power rank is 162 of 600, within the top 27%, while its performance is balanced by the character implied by its 2+2 seater convertible body style and AWD drivetrain. The result is a car that combines open-air grand touring with the unusual presence of a W12 powertrain.

The price reinforces its position. At a used price of £230,000, it ranks 160th most expensive of the 600 cars, placing it above 440 other vehicles in the catalogue. It is the most expensive W12 car represented here, and its cost per bhp is £367, reflecting the premium attached to this particular blend of specification, performance and configuration.

For a collector, the decision is not simply about adding another fast car. The trade-off is accepting a car that is not the catalogue leader for acceleration, in exchange for a W12 AWD convertible Hyper GT that occupies a rare technical space within the collection. Choosing the Continental GT Mulliner means reserving garage space for refinement, scale and a very specific kind of performance balance.
