2020 Bentley Continental GT vs. Rolls-Royce Dawn

The Rolls-Royce Dawn is a stylish drophead coupe with undeniably good looks, but how well does it fare against a genuine rival like the Bentley Continental GT? Although the two are more or less evenly matched in many areas, the Continental GT Convertible delivers just about everything you could ask for in a Grand Tourer, for much less than the price of a new Dawn. 

Why Should You Choose a Bentley Continental GT for Sale?

We know that costs aren’t always among our customers’ main concerns, but even so, there’s no reason to pay more than you have to. The Bentley Continental GT price is simply superior to that of the Dawn:

• Both the Continental GT Convertible and the Rolls-Royce Dawn are generally configured from scratch. In this process, prospective owners play an important role in determining features and final pricing.
• However, the Dawn starts with a much higher price at roughly $350,000. The Continental GT Convertible, on the other hand, starts at just over $220,000. This gives you much more room to maneuver, so you can access the features and amenities you really want in a vehicle, without paying for add-ons that you won’t use.

Performance: Continental GT vs. Dawn

Whether you’re seated in the driver’s seat or lounging comfortably in the rear, you’ll love the time you spend in the potent and controlled Continental GT. And, you’ll be able to wear an even bigger smile with the knowledge that you’ve made a smart financial move.

Here’s how the Continental GT and the Rolls-Royce Dawn measure up on the factors that are most important to Burbank-area drivers:

• Standard Engine: The ultimate summer grand tourer will deliver a performance that’s sure to satisfy. The Dawn comes equipped with a 563-hp 6.6-liter V-12. The Continental GT Convertible has a standard 4.0-liter V-8, but with 542 hp, it packs an impressive punch.
• Drivetrain: Of course, that’s not the only area where the Continental GT Convertible shines. For starters, the Continental offers standard AWD, where the Dawn comes standard with RWD. In fact, the Dawn doesn’t even offer AWD!
• Braking and Handling: The Continental GT Convertible has 16.5-inch front brakes and 15-inch front brakes. The Dawn, with 14.7-inch front and 14.6-inch rear brakes, doesn’t have as much stopping power. What’s more, a turning radius of 18.9 feet makes the Continental much more agile than the Dawn, which requires 20.8 feet to execute a safe turn.
