Bentley exposed the long-overdue substitute for the Continental GT grand touring luxury coupe, and it looks eye-catching. The fresh Continental GT is totally renovated from the last-gen car, with novel looks suggestive of the crazily pretty EXP10 Speed 6 concept, a totally new interior, and an eight-speed dual clutch transmission for the first time ever.
Power
- Power comes from the recognizable 6.0-liter turbocharged W12 found in cars like the Bentaygaand Flying Spur.
- In this arrangement, the engine pushes out 626 horsepower and 664 lb.-ft. of torque to an energetic all-wheel drive setup with launch control (in a Bentley!). 0-60 happens in 3.7 seconds, and top speed is a supercar-beating 207 mph.
- Under lighter loads, the engine will shut half of its cylinders off for better fuel consumption, and features start/stop technology.
- The suspension is a 48-volt adaptive air system that controls ride soothing and lateral roll to help balance through edges.
Styling
The extended, packed down new body is made mostly from aluminum, and shares its underpinnings with the new Porsche Panamera. The Continental features a 5.3-inch longer wheelbase than the last-generation car and standard 21-inch wheels.Certainly, 22-inch forged wheels are elective. According to Bentley, the newly-bodied GT is over 175 pounds lighter thanks to use of lightweight materials throughout.
